Acrobat Reader X cant's save "old" PDF versions

I'm creating PDF documents in PDF Format 1.4 for compatibility reasons.
The published documents will be opened in Acrobat Reader. If the user is using Acrobat reader X and saves the document it will be stored in PDF Version 1.5.
These PDF 1.5 documents could not be managed in the following automated process steps.
(That's why I'm creating PDF 1.4)
How can I keep the PDF version saving a document in Acrobat READER X.
Regards
J.B.

We know that Acrobat Pro or Standard can save version 1.4.
We have more than 30.000 computer installations worldwide.
This would be a good deal for adobe to install the acrobat product instead of the acrobat reader only for viewing pdf documents correctly ;-(((
For security reasons and new features we are forced to update the acrobat reader version
For compatibility reasons we should use old versions
==> There' somethind wrong in your version strategy.
????? WHY DOES A READONLY PRODUCT CHANGE THE FORMAT OF A PDF DOCUMENT  ??????

    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,

  • Cant open any old pdf with the adobe acrobat dc [Android]

    I recently updated my adobe reader to adobe acrobat dc and since then I cannot open any old pdf files in my phone. The new ones I download open just fine,  but the old ones have just disappeared. The only files I can see are those I have downloaded after updating the app and listed in the Recent page.
    I tried open my old pdf files by clicking on the floating folder icon in the Recent page, which brings me to my downloads folder in my phone. After clicking on an old pdf file, a dialogue will open saying that adobe will create a local copy of the document. After I click continue, it will say that the file cannot be accessed, and ask me to check the location or the network (the pdf files were those the app listed on the downloads folder on my phone). I have also tried to open them from my phone's own download manager. It will first tell me the file cannot be found, in which I will redownload it, but then the app says that it can't be opened because it is not a valid pdf file. How can that be true when it opened just fine before I updated the app?  All my old pdf files are also not detected automatically by the app, which was the one feature I loved so much about the old version of Adobe reader. What must I do to open my old pdf files that are in my phone?
    my phone is a Samsung galaxy s4.

    Are you trying to open the documents from the Downloads tab as shown below?
    If that is the case, it is possible you are trying to open the files which were previously downloaded and no longer exist on your device. To open the files which actually exist on your device, you can go to the Internal Storage tab which exists below the Download tab. The Internal storage tab will show the folders available. Go to the downloads folder in the internal storage tab and then to the 'Adobe Reader' or 'Adobe Acrobat' folder and you can find the files there.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

    We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader.  Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it.  They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software.  The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted.  According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
    Thanks for the help!!

    Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
    Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

  • Acrobat Reader x 10.0 - Cannot open pdf as a single file

    I am using Acrobat Reader x 10.0 on Win 7 64 bit OS.
    I save Filemaker 11.0 Reports as PDF Individual Single Files, to a Folder on my Hard Drive.
    On some occasions, I can have been able to open these Individual Reports files as a Single Files, each of about 540KB.
    On many occasions, when I open what had been saved as a Individual Single File, the actual report saved does not appear on the page, but can be found down the left side, amongst other similar Files and the File size is 1855KB or more, depending how many other files are included.
    My intent is to include an Individual Single File as an attachment to an email, but I do not want the recipient to see all the other individual files.
    How can I ensure, when I save the Filemaker Individual Report as a PDF file, it can only open as the same Individual Single Report File that had been saved, on its own and not with multiple similar files.
    This problem is a pain in the butt and has brought my project to a standstill.
    Is this a Design Problem, A Settings Preferences Problem or a Problem caused by me.
    I have not encountered this before.
    Thank You and hoping someone has the answer I need.

    After some persistance and much trial and error, I believe I have overcome this silly problem.
    When I save the Filemaker Database Record as a pdf file and the Save As Panel pops up on the screen, there is a Save Box that contains three choices, one of which says "Current Record". When I choose this, everything seems to work fine. So, I guess this is the Fix.
    Sorry if I have raised unneccessary concerns within the Forum.

  • Acrobat reader xi doesnt open internet browser pdf files?

  • Acrobat/Reader X Error trying to open PDF in IE8

    When I click on a link in IE8 to a PDF I get the following message:
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and  try again. (1:1)"
    I have Windows 7 32-bit with IE8.  It worked fine when I had Acrobat 7 standard and Adobe Reader X installed.  Then I uninstalled Acrobat 7 standard and installed the trial version of Acrobat X (need to make sure it works before I purchase it for everyone in domain) and I can now create PDF's, but can't view them in IE8.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I would need some more information to try to diagnose this.
    * can you launch Acrobat X by double-clicking it?  Do any dialogs (like the End-User License Agreement) show up that you have to click through?
    * in Acrobat X, open Edit -> Preferences and go to the Internet tab.  You should see a path to acrobat.exe, underneath the "Display Browser in PDF" checkbox.  Is the checkbox checked?  Is the path correct?
    * can you open a PDF from the internet in IE8?  Try http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/quickie/SONNETS.pdf (my particular favorite).

  • New PCs Acrobat Reader hangs up IE 7 opening PDF

    Hi,
    we made all PCs new with Windows XP prof wit hactual MS Patches and only Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    Starting Adobe Reader works
    double click a pdf works
    Opening a pdf in outlook works
    ONLY OPENING A PDF IN IE 7 DOESN`T WORK. BLANK SCREEN AND IE: NO RESPONSE
    Any Hints?
    PS. Domain Administrator works, User as local Administrator works not.

    Yes, it rules out any version mismatch. Still not sure what might be happening.
    You say that it works when logging in as Domain admin works but doesn't for local admin. Who installed Reader - domain admin?
    One thing to try would be to Repair using the local admin and see if that fixes the problem.

  • 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.

  • Cant reactivat an old photoshop version

    I gave my uncle the old photoshop version 8 and deactive both installations on my computer. I deinstalled the version on my computers too. I buy a new version 11 and installed it, it is working fine. But I can active the Version 8 on the other compüter from my oncle. But we receive some warnings that the version is not activated. And we have a permaned internet connetion too.
    Only the deactivation is highlighted under the help button
    Any Idea?

    You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. You will need your serial number.

  • How can I save to PDF version 1.3 in Acrobat X

    I have tried the Save As > Reduce Size and it only goes back to version 1.6 using the Acrobat 4.0 selection. That is the earliest selection available through the menu.  Is there another way that I am not seeing?

    The only 2 ways is using Reduce File Size and Optimize PDF, both available on the Save As menu.

  • Why cant I save some PDF files?

    Why is it that for some PDF files under "Files" the "Save As..." function isnt working!

    Ronda, Thanks again for your support. However, I would like to mention that doing it your way there is a particular issue. I have now realized it saves the document in question with the same file name, as the last document saved on that particular day, and not in the file name as you received te document!
    This has a major implication, because you will not be able to quickly locate the document if you need it. The strange thing than is, you will discover the same document being listed in your "home account" Mac username folder in the file name as you receive it. I save all my documents that I donwload, into my download folder, and not into any other folder!
    Do avoid this, one needs to specifically change / rename the document as one want it to be. But this greatly slows the speed of processing considering that few similar documents everyday!
    Do you know a way to speed this process of saving PDF files, and only into one particular folder?
