Acrobat 9 standard save without changing pdf version

Hello,
I have a question, is it possible to save an edited PDF file (the original is in an old format PDF 1.3/1.4) in the same format it was before editing?
When I have edited the PDF with acrobat 9 standard it automatically changes the PDF version to 1.6.
Thanks in advance

There is no PDF Optimizer under advanced in acrobat 9 standard
Saving in older file format is only a acrobat pro option?

PDDocSaveWithParams does not change PDF version from 1.8 (Acrobat 9, Acrobat X) to 1.4

Dear all,
this post seems similar to this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1160826#1160826
but it is not.
Our customers prepare documents to be presented at regulatory authorities, and it is required that these documents have PDF Version 1.4, are linearized, etc. In a plug-in we change the document properties accordingly. This used to work fine with Acrobat versions from 6 to 9. Then came Acrobat X.
We detected the problem with a document created with Acrobat PDFMaker 10.0 for Word: a very simple 1-page 3-lines document with no Acrobat X features.
When using Acrobat X, after calling PDDocSaveWithParams, the PDF version was not changed as required. (We check this calling PDDocGetVersion from the plugin after saving.)
Doing the same conversion with Acrobat 9 seemed to be OK: PDDocGetVersion reported PDF Version 1.4.
But when opening the converted document in Acrobat X, it still reported "PDF Version: 1.7 Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X.x)".
Opening it in a text editor showed that the header was "%PDF-1.4", but it still had "<</Extensions<</ADBE<</BaseVersion/1.7/ExtensionLevel 8>>>>..."
With Acrobat 8 and below, the version could not be downgraded, but this was reported correctly.
Downgrading the version directly via the "Optimize" function of Acrobat X worked.
I could not test Acrobat 9, since I have no Professional version available.
In Acrobat 8 Prof, I saw the message "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.", and the "Optimize" function was disabled.
Now I have the following questions:
(1) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade the version with Acrobat X ?
(2) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade correctly with Acrobat 9 ?
(3) Is it a known problem that Acrobat9 wrongly reports the PDF Version of the document, in this case ?
(4) Why is downgrading (or optimizing) disabled for Acrobat 8 and below ?
Thank you !

Remember that as of PDF 1.4, the version number in the PDF header can be overridden via a /Version key in the /Catalog dictionary. In addition, the presence of an /Extension dictionary (ISO 32000-1) will also override the header version.
The header version is JUST A HINT - it is NOT a guarantee of any sort.
Based on both of the above, neither of your "bugs" are bugs.
Acrobat 9 (and I assume X as well) are reporting correctly. If you have a PDF that you believe IS being reported incorrectly, please post!
If the Extensions dict is present, the Save command will NOT override it since it takes precedence.

Adobe acrobat standard save pdf to jpeg is it possibel?

I have a question about adobe acrobat standard.
can you save pdf to jpeg? or is it just the Pro version that it works on?

Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

Sometimes PDDocSaveWithParams does not change PDF version

Hi,
In a plug-in we are changing document properties like, Initial view, Page layout, Fast web view, pdf version etc, it is working fine most of the time, But for some documents it is not changing version backwards i mean, if the original file version is 1.5, it can change to 1.6 but does not changing to 1.4, why it is happening so, where could be the problem?
part of that code is given below for your reference
PDDocGetVersion( pdDoc, &asiMajor, &asiMinor );
asiMajor = 1;
asiMinor = 4;
PDDocSaveParamsRec pdDocSaveParams;
ProgressMonitorRec pMonitor;
pdDocSaveParams.saveFlags=PDSaveLinearized|PDSaveFullPDSaveCollectGarbage ;
pdDocSaveParams.newPath= asPath;
pdDocSaveParams.fileSys=ASGetDefaultFileSys();
pdDocSaveParams.mon=NULL;
pdDocSaveParams.monClientData=NULL;
pdDocSaveParams.cancelProc=NULL;
pdDocSaveParams.cancelProcClientData=NULL;
pdDocSaveParams.major=asiMajor;
pdDocSaveParams.minor=asiMinor;
PDDocSaveWithParams(pdDoc,&pdDocSaveParams);

You can do it like this:
_t_PDDocSaveParams sp;
memset(&sp,0,sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams));
sp.size = sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams);
sp.saveFlags = PDSaveFull;
sp.major = 1;
sp.minor = 4;
sp.newPath = [some pathName];
sp.saveFlags2 = PDSaveUncompressed; // <------ This will do the trick!
PDDocSaveWithParams([your pdDcoc], &sp);
This was tested with the SDK of Acrobat 9

Did you activate the Automator action which controls the "Save As Adobe PDF" function. Look around here to find some instructions on doing this. There should be a copy in HD>Library>Automator which needs to be double-clicked to install. There might be others so find and delete them.
Although I haven't changed to leopard(or the Snow variety) I've been reading up on this problem. First there has been information that for some reason the automator action for this which is supposed to be system level action; is found in more than one Libraray>Automator folder. There should only be one. Also for some strange reason the action requires that Rosetta be installed to work. You actually have to double click on the action for it to install. And finally, the patchts and upgrades From Apple of snow Leopard as of late either removes and reinstalls sometimes in the wrong place meaning you got to start all over again. there are three Automator folders, one at Main level, one at User level, and one at system level. anthing having to do with printing should be at system level, period. Be it actually printing or creating PDF's. (source cNet, ZDnet, Coumputerworld, , Mac-Fix-it.)

How do I get acrobat to save my changes to a footer?

Hello, Can anyone help me change my footer in a pdf. I open the doc, change the security settings to allow changes, go to Document, Headers & Footers, Update. When the edit screen comes up I type in the new footer, but I don't see anywhere to "save" or "accept" my change. I can only X out of the edit page which cancels the change I just entered. I think there must be a "save" button at the bottom of the edit page but I can't see the bottom and can't scroll down. Thanks

You may increase the screen resolution to see the OK button.

Users w/least privileges in Acrobat Standard can't create PDF files. Could this be security setting?

Trying to find out where Acrobat stores its temp files while creating/printing a new PDF and if it is possible to tell the program to use another location. My guess, and I could definitely be wrong, is that our Sys Admins have locked users from writing into this temp folder. Additionally security audit logs are filled quickly when users attempt to cut and paste from Acrobat. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, you should ask your sys admin to not lock this folder. This
can cause a lot of problems with many applications.
The temp folder used by Acrobat is actually not the Windows temp folder,
though, but an internal one, which can be found by executing this code in
the JS console in Acrobat:
app.getPath("user", "temp")
In my case (Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7), it is:
/C/Users//AppData/Local/Temp/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0
It is possible, though, that applications like Distiller still use the
Windows temp folder for some other tasks.

Flash Builder 4.7 Packages AIR iOS Standard Even Without Changes

"Note: If you have not changed your code or assets since the last debug IPA package was generated, Flash Builder skips the packaging and debugs the application. That is, you can launch the installed application on your device and click Debug to connect to the Flash Builder debugger. This way, you can debug repeatedly without packaging the application every time."
This appears to not be working in Flash Builder 4.7. It always worked fine in 4.6. Basically it packages the application every single time I click Debug, regardless of whether anything was changed.

Adobe acrobat 8 exits without saving pdf

When creating a fully functional PDF from a word file using 8.3.1 Acrobat appears to complete the conversion but then exits. There is no PDF saved.

I was using the Acrobat tab on the ribbon; when I use "print to file" it seems to run to completion correctly.
When I used the Acrobat tab things appeared to run normally with the progress window getting to the "Now printing page n..." "Relocating files" and "Creating PDF tags"; then the window vanishes with no file created.
Print to File is not entirely satisfactory because it doesn't create bookmarks and so produces a less useful PDF.

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
The problem came back.
I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

PDF version - change to 1.7 by default

Hi there,
When I create a PDF in Acrobat Pro X, the default PDF version is 1.5(Acrobat 6). Now when I go to Print --> Properties --> Adobe PDF Settings tab and click on the "Edit" button, I can click on the "Compatibility" drop down box and select "Acrobat 8.0(PDF 1.7)." This will allow me to create a 1.7 PDF - but it is a lot of work for our end users - is there a way to just make Acrobat create 1.7 PDFs by default? Registry setting possibly? The PDFs have to be version 1.7, long and uninteresting story. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Assuming you are using AA8 or later, you simple set that in the settings file. You may have to save the settings file to a new name, not sure. In that case, make the new name your default settings file in the Adobe PDF printer and in PDF Maker.

Why does Preview save as PDF version 1.3 instead of version 1.7 sometimes?

I've noticed something very strange in Mountain Lion when saving a downloaded PDF in Preview. If I download a PDF to my downloads folder and open it in Preview and get info it says it's PDF version 1.7 and it's about 400 kb . If I then "save as" to my folder it saves it as PDF version 1.3 in a much smaller file save 82 kb.
Why is this happening when I use "save as" rather than just dragging and dropping it from my downloads folder to another folder where it keeps it as version 1.7 and 400 kb ?
Why would Preview save it as version 1.3 instead of the latest version of PDF - very odd?
Thanks

Etresoft - that doesn't seem right - are you sure that Mac's only option is to save a PDF v. 1.3 when there are PDFs that are already at v. 1.7?
I was sure, but I was wrong. Upon closer inspection, the "%PDF-1.3" you see in the PDF isn't the whole story. The actual version can be specified elsewhere. It seems Mavericks actually generates PDF version 1.4. Of course, that's not much difference, is it?
Generally, I think Apple is aiming for cross-platform support with the widest audience instead of all the advanced features that Adobe wants to throw in. Apple views PDF as legacy print technology. If you need more than what Apple provides, you can always buy Acrobat.
Here is an old marketing flyer from Adobe showing how much more you would get with Acrobat. It is from the Tiger era but you can see there is a whole lot that isn't implemented. But if you bought Acrobat, you would be in the position Apple doesn't want. You would create and send people PDF 1.7 files and they wouldn't be able to read them. What do you do? Tell them to buy Acrobat? It is a common theme here in Apple Support Communities whenever a new OS version arrives. People everywhere suddenly can't print, read PDFs, or do just about anything PDF related. That is because they had previously download Acrobat and it breaks with each OS update.

PDDocSaveWithParams vs Acrobat Save As Optimized PDF

All,
I've been wrestling with this for a couple of days. I've been using the PDE api to make some changes to documents, and I noticed that certain documents were causing problems when the PDEContent was set back into the page. After doing some research, I noticed that the Acrobat SDK was throwing an exception when PDPageSetPDEContent was called. All of these documents shared a certain structure, and after running Acrobat's Save as Optimized PDF, the problem vanishes as the problem structures are recombined into a different one. Does anyone know of an Acrobat API call that gives similar functionality?
Joe

PDDocSaveAsOptimized, I believe it is (or maybe its an AVDoc…)

Acrobat Standard 8.2.6 "fehlende PDF-Maker Dateien"

Hallo,
ich besitze den Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2.6 (neuste Version) und erst seit neustem kann ich ihn nicht mehr benutzen.
1. Wenn ich 1 oder 2 Datein in einem Ordner per Rechtsklick (convert to adobe pdf oder combine..) zur pdf machen will funktioniert das nicht mehr. Meldung: Fehlende PDF Maker Dateien - Reparatur.
2. Wenn ich den Acrobat öffne und Office 2010 Professional Formate zur PDF zusammenführen oder einzeln erstellen möchte wird wieder angezeigt
Fehlende PDF Maker Dateien - Reparatur.
Ich habe diese Reparatur mehrmals durchgeführt - keine Wirkung.
Acrobat wurde als Administrator ausgeführt.
(ich habe lediglich den speedlauncher aus dem Autostart genommen aber auch mit funktioniert es nicht)
Gerade die Funktion des Acrobat Dateien zusammenzuführen ist mir sehr wichtig. Das PDF drucken funktioniert noch.
Das Acrobat Office PDFMaker Addin im Word ist aktiviert.
Mein System: Windows 7 Professional 64bit mit Office 2010 Pro und Acrobat Standard 8.2.6
Dieses Problem tritt auch auf meinem alten Rechner auf Windows Vista 32bit mit Office 2007 und Acrobat Standard 8.2.6
Ich hoffe sehr dass es hierfür eine Lösung gibt.
Da es damals immer funktioniert hat und erst neuerdings nicht mehr geht habe ich die Befürchtung man will die Adobe Kunden dazu zwingen sich einen neuen Acrobat zukaufen.. ich hoffe ich liege falsch.
edit1: Bilder lassen sich zur pdf zusammenführen. Es scheint mit Office zusammenzuhängen.
Freundliche Grüße
FC

Hallo in die Runde,
ich bin sehr froht, auf noch mehr User zu treffen, die ein ähnliches Problem haben.
Ich nuutze Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.3 und Office 2010 unter Win XP SP3. Leider erhalte ich immer wieder die Fehlermeldung: "Fehlende PDFMaker Dateien" wenn ich mehrere Word Dokumente zu einer PDF Datei zusammenführen möchte.
Der PDF Druck einer Word Datei funktioniert einwandfrei
Ratschläge aus diesem Thread habe ich angewendet, aber leider bleibt es bei diesem Problem.
Über weitere Lösungsvorschläge würde ich mich sehr freuen.
Beste Grüße,

Open PDF files in IE by Acrobat Standard 8 instead of Reader

Hi,
I have an issue when I open PDF files in Internet Explorer.
On my computer, Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Standard 8 are installed.
I want that Acrobat Standard 8 opens my PDF files instead of Acrobat Reader 7.
There is 2 conditions : I can't (I mustn't) uninstall Acrobat Reader 7 !
How can I fix it?
Thank you for your help ;o)

Sure, I know that :o)
What I want to do is with Acrobat, not Reader.
In fact, I want to open PDF files with Acrobat in Internet Explorer 6 (now, I can do it) then modify directly any (unprotected) PDF files within IE.
