Acrobat 9 - save as PDF 1.7

I'm working on an automated way to re-save the current document to a specific PDF version - 1.7. So far I have achieved this using pre-flight profiles (pre-defined - "Compatible with Acrobat n") and executing these via Javascript. As there is no profile for "Compatible with Acrobat 8", I looked into creating one. At this point I found that the fixup for "Set PDF Version" only has options for PDF 1.3 - 1.6.
I note that the optimizer allows the document to be saved as compatible with "Acrobat 8 or later" and this results in a PDF 1.7 file. I'd rather use pre-flight (not sure optimizer can be automated?), but am confused as to why the equivalent functionality isn't available.
N.B. reason for asking - 1.7 requirement is mandated by FDA.
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
Gareth

PDF 1.7 is the highest level you can go, and is the ISO standard (ISO 32000-1:2008). The only difference in support between Acrobat 8,9 and X is for the Extension Level features (EL3 and EL5), but both of those remain within the PDF 1.7 foundation.
So, there's no reason why Preflight would have the ability to downversion to 1.7 as you wouldn't be beyond that.

Acrobat saves new PDF in 17 hours in the past

When I print a document to Acrobat (e.g., from MS Word), the resulting PDF sometimes appears with a timestamp that is 17 hours in the past. I've never run across this problem before, this doesn't happen with any other programs I'm running, and it only happens occasionally at that. My first thought was that there must be some weird timezone setting in Acrobat that I didn't know of, but I couldn't find anything like that.
Suggestions? Anyone else ever run into this?

As long as you know the URL of where the new PDF file is going to be you can embed the response URL in the submit button.Try something this JS in the Submit button's "Mouse Up" action along with where ever you are planing to submit the Data:
app.launchURL("http://www.myCompanyServer.com/myFolder/myPDFs/myPDF.pdf");
If you are trying to do an HTML type return, I don't know if that's really possible.

How do I save as PDF/A, PDF/A-1b in Acrobat XI Strandard?

How do I save as PDF/A, PDF/A-1b compliant in Acrobat XI Strandard? I want to archive some of my PDF files. I want them to meet generally used archived standards. My install of ACrobat Standard was a standard install. Is this something I can only do in Acrobat XI Pro? I also came across some articles mentioning something called a Distiller, of which I think it is only available for the Acrobat Pro?

The support for each type of ISO PDF standard is explained in the Help file.
Only Acrobat Pro can create and verify PDF/A-2, PDF/A-3, PDF/X, PDF/E and PDF/VT files, or convert an existing PDF into a compliant version (a process called 'conforming' the file). Generating a new PDF/A-1b file (e.g. from a scanner or by printing from another application) is universal, but you can only verify it meets the standard using Pro.

Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

Hi,
Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your reply!
I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Acrobat 9 Pro - PDF Optimizer fails when selecting overwrite file during save process

Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if Acrobat 9 Pro has changed in the way it handles PDF Optimizing functioning when trying to overwrite the file you are attempting to optimize. In Acrobat 8 Professional, it overwrites the file just fine when it gets to the save process. It does work when you modify the name during the save process, however, it would be nice to know if this is "the way it works" or the "program has an issue".
Thoughts?
Message received when trying to overwrite the file,
COnversion Warnings> "An error was encountered while saving the document."
Logically, it seems as though the application cannot save over an "opened" file thus dumping that message on me.
Regards. D.

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible. I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
Thanks,
Chani

Thanks everyone for responding. I should have supplied more information.
I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro. These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data. However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered. Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact. Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions. However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly? How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing? I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
Thanks for all of your responses!

Acrobat 8.1 and Outlook 2007, still can't save as pdf

I have intalled Acrobat 8.1, and while all the PDF goodies seem installed in Word 2007, they are not installed in Outlook 2007. Still can't save as pdf in Outlook 2007.
I querried at MS Forums, only to be referred to Adobe Forums. --GJ

To PDL
It doesn't matter what are the names of these forums. Major companies provide these *official* forums to harvest troubleshooting results of their products for free. You never be able to test your product on this number of various environment this much cheap.
Unlike their support services these "USER" forums provides them with those product issues they are looking for without ANY obligation to solve them or even accept their existence. And best of all they collect all these information at no cost.
However, in honest and considerate companies, development team members share their opinions with forum users. They even admit they are aware of issues but have no solution for them at this time. If team members do not have enough time for providing feedback, they somehow use *well-trained* individuals to discuss the issues.
Those companies do not "Read and Hide". They "read and discuss".
Anyway, unfortunatly, the links you found are not related to this discussion. They are about PDFMaker issue in other component of Office not Outlook.

Save as PDF dialog popping under all other windows using Acrobat 9

One of my clients recently upgraded a bunch of their workstations to Windows 7 64bit Enterprise edition. Now when they try to print to a PDF by selecting the print option in any application and then selecting the PDF printer, the dialog box pops under all the other windows. The result is the application appears to freeze, as it is stuck at the 'now printing' screen. See the below screenshot for a sample. Meanwhile, the save as PDF dialog is still there and if you click on the blank icon you can see in the attached screenshot, the dialog will pop up and you can finish making the PDF.
Steps I've already taken to try to resolve this include: running a repair of acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and removing and adding the PDF printer. So far none of this has had any effect. I'm using the current (that is 9.3.2) patch revision for acrobat.
Any help/suggestions would be most welcome!

Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

How to tell what version of Acrobat or Reader was last used to save a PDF

How can I tell what version of Acrobat or Reader was last used to save a PDF file? My users are using fillable forms from grants.gov. We want them to use Adobe Reader 8.1.3 to fill these forms, but some accidentally use the Pro version of Acrobat. They need this to make PDFs from Word & other apps, but Pro will corrupt the fillable forms.
When I open a saved form in Reader 8.1.3 and click File > Properties it says Acrobat 7.x even though I know it was saved with 8.1.3.
Is there a way to know which version number and type (Reader or Pro) last saved a PDF?

But it won't tell you what was used last. It just gives the original information.
It also won't differentiate between Pro and Standard and of course won't mention Reader at all.

How to restrict the ability to save a PDF file in Acrobat.

Hello ! This is my first topic, evaluating to acquire Acrobat Professional 8, and I am asked if possible to restrict the ability to save a pdf file, when users are reading the file with Acrobat Reader. We are into creating a in-house document accessible to all users internally, using Acrobat Reader. I was able to restrict the printing, but I am unable to restict the saving of the file.
Any one knows if this possible ? or not?
Users are using Windows XP/2k
Thanks

Once they open it on their machine, they have a copy on that machine. They can simply move that copy to where ever they desire, making copies as they go. You can restrict copying content (though not full proof), printing, and changing the document, but not the physical file itself. Be careful with security and the assumption it fixes all your issues. PDF security is not all that secure. If you need higher levels of security, they you have to use the DRM (I think that is it) at a pretty cost.

Why I cannot save a pdf document to desktop--error 21--it will save to acrobat

Why am I unable to save a pdf doc. to desktop? I get error 21 message. This is a recent problem I was able to save to desktop for a year. I can save it to acrobat

Hi Edward,
This error occurs due to a problem in the Adobe Acrobat/Reader functionality used to display scanned documents and/or documents containing JP2K images.
We are aware of the issue. This issue was reported to us on other threads as well: Adobe Reader Error (21)

Is it possible to save a pdf to a format of an earlier version of Acrobat than the one I have (i.e. Adobe 5.0 when I am running 6.0)?

Is it possible to save a pdf to a format of an earlier version of Acrobat than the one I have (i.e. Adobe 5.0 when I am running 6.0)?

How would I do it? I am running Adobe Acrobat XI (version 11.0.5). I am using an external software that allows me to upload pdf files, but it asks "Please regenerate the PDF using Acrobat 5.0 or lower"
