Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open

I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?

You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.

  • Can Acrobat Pro 9 create pdf forms that are readable by older versions of Reader?

    I have just downloaded the Trial of Acrobat Pro 9, and my client now tells me they only have Acrobat 5, and can't open the pdf form I've made in 9.  My form uses text fields and checkboxes, tooltips but no validation or calculation.  Does anyone know if it is possible to save this form in a way that is backwards compatible with Acrobat 5?
    Failing this, does anyone know what version of Pro I need in order to add fields and still allow v5 to open the files?
    thanks!
    - Thea

    I did not read your original post carefully. As far as saving a form that is readable in AA5, AA5 should be able to read an AA9 form as long as you did not use any of the new fancy things in it. In the meantime, simply save the form using either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize with the compatibility set to AA5 or AR5. That process will strip any special issues from the PDF I think. At least that is my assumption. I create PDFs that are AA5 compatible all the time by simply having the properties of the Adobe PDF printer set to AR5 compatibility. As far as the form feature, that is really just a matter of being sure you use features that are AA5 compatible as I have suggested and saving, possibly using one of the two options I have mentioned. In most cases, AR5 will be able to read it even if you do not save in that process, but do not get fancy in the structure.

  • PDF saveable in older versions of reader?

    We are wanting to make our scholarship application available online and I know that in the past a fillable form could not be saved with just the reader program.  I know the newer version permits that, but I was interested to know which versions of the reader do not offer users the feature of being able to save the fillable pdf for future use.

    "Backward compatibility" (with older versions of Reader) and "Extended Features" (the ability to save a filled form and email it) are Save settings in Acrobat (Reader has nothing to do with it). Additionally, Acrobat's EULA specifically places a limit on the number of forms you can legally extract data from (500) if created with Acrobat Pro. If you expect more than the limit to be returned, you'll need to look into an Enterprise plan with LiveCycle for form creation or your organization may violate the EULA for Acrobat.

  • Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

    While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

    '''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
    Solution:
    I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
    Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
    After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

  • I have been unable to print from FF to Brother HL-1440. print generate pages w/odd bits of text from the page, and sometimes one image. If I want to print off the web, I have to print PDF. Older versions of FF print fine.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

    I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
    The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
    After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
    Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

  • This was created on an older version and is unable to open.

    I create a Keynote on my Macbook Pro using the latest version of Keynote.
    I save it to Dropbox.
    ON MY iPAD: I download the Keynote on Dropbox and then select 'Open In Keynote'. I then get the message that the Keynote cannot be opened due to it being created with an older version. However, ALL versions of Keynote are fully up to date!
    Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

    Are you sure it was created in the last version of Keynote ('09) and not an older version? I've had no problems with opening them on the iPad in the new Keynote version. I also used to Dropbox route.
    I did have issues with some old documents which were created in (even) older versions of Keynote/Numbers. In that case i could solve it by opening them in Keynote/Number '09, save them and then open them in Keynote 6.

    Have you recently reinstalled your OS from an older DVD or backup or ued your Library from a different System? Try to update to the newest Version of iTunes  (it should be 10.4.1) from the  Apple Menu -> Software Update.
    That should resolve that problem.

  • When uninstalling an older version of reader, I get an error message about transform paths

    I tried to uninstall version 8.1.2, and I get an error message to verify that the specified transform paths are valid. Some body please help. I could use the 90mb of space it's taking up.
    My system is a laptop, vista 32 bit. No security update issues are involved. I am running version 10, and simply want some memory back.

    Claudia, thanks for the link. It removed the old version in about 30 seconds Microsoft Fixit looks like a great repair tool. Thanx for the hook-up. Redbaron8.

    If you feel you need erasing 90 MB. I would suggest getting some additional storage medium (external HD, ...). In any case, you may want to try the following: Run this fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall Uninstall Reader using Add/Remove Programs

  • FRM-40011 Form was created by an older version of form

    Hi all,
    I got the message "FRM-40011 Form was created
    by an older version of form builder" when I created a
    form using form6i without the patch and ran it on 9iAS
    Rrelease 2. So I applied patch 10 and compiled the
    form and ran it again. But I still get the same error.
    What am I missing?
    Our 9iAs is on Win 2000 SP2(if it matters).
    Thanks in advance
    Yuga.

    Hi,
    if this problem occurs on teh Web, then the message normally is "Forms client" too old, which points to that the f60all.jar files used are not compatible with the patch version of the Forms Services. To fix this you would have to replavce f60all.jar with the version of the patch installed on teh server. Also clear the Jinitiator cache directory on the client (which must not be necessary).
    Normally here is no difference between a Forms6i file created with the base release vs. one create with a patch set. So the problem must be in the configuration of your environmnet and my bet would be as mentioned above.

  • Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
