Adobe Reader X change the PDF version after saved

Hi all,
I recently discovered a weird behavior of Adobe Reader X (free version) regarding the .PDF version document.
I scanned just before the week-end a series of documents with default 1.4 version, I checked several and all were ok, Scanner did the job well.
The only problem is that every time I opened a document and save it under a different name, or replace under the same name – Save As option (Shift+Ctrl+S); the version of the document is automatically changed from 1.4 to 1.5; This is very annoying since I do not need 1.5 document version I use only 1.4.
Is there a way to work around this? I mean the Adobe Reader X should not keep the version 1.4 and not change it to 1.5
Thanks is advance for looking into this

There are now some answers in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451

Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it with Microsoft Office

I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message: "There was an error during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

I'm having a similar issue. The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message. If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue. This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server. I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

How to retain the PDF's compression when changing the PDF version?

Hi,
I need to change the PDF version from "1.5" to "1.6" without changing the original PDF compression (i.e compressed object streams) using "Acrobat X pro".
I had tried to change one sample PDF version from 1.5 to 1.6 using "PDF Optimizer" and found the following results.
================================
Input PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.5
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for "254" pages except "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
Output PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.6
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for all the "256" pages including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
================================
"Pages has compressed object streams" found for all the "256" pages (but input PDF has only 254 pages) including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover".
But I want to retain all the properties of input PDF with version change. This is my actual requirement.
I hope that Acrobat expert will offer some useful suggestions for the above. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raja. S

Thanks for the reply.
I had tried everything under "Clean Up" option (PDF optimizer>Clean Up) but "Pages has compressed object streams" applied automatically.
Note: If I check the option "Optimize the PDF for fast web view" under Clean Up, then output retain the required source PDF compression. But I must not change the source PDF to "Fast web view".
This is not testing purpose and this is one of our client requirement. Kindly advise with better solution to solve this issue.
Thanks,

How to force using the adobe reader to view the PDF by javascript / PHP / HTML?

I use the standard way to embed a pdf to my website, however, when I open it the browser will choose the default pdf viewer instead of the adobe reader. I can change it manually by looking at the browser option but it would not be nice if the website visitor need to do this manually. So I would like to know how to force the browser to open the PDF in adobe by using some HTML header / javascript / php or any parameter in object tag. Thanks.
<object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '" + sourceFolder + "SingTao/2013/08/17/0/0/A/Content/pdf/pdf_" + currZoomPageNo + ".pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&pagemode=read'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>

I know this problem related to the browser behaviour so I would target only :Chrome firefox and IE 9+ (it is ideal if IE8 can also adopt the solution) thanks

Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.Upgrade to the latest version for full support. That does that mean exactly?

Upgrade to the latest version for full support.
What exactly do I need to do?

That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

How to change the pdf version on mail merge

Hi All,
I am using AA8 with MS Word 2002 on XP SP3.
I am trying to mail merge from Word using Excel spreadsheet as source data, which seems to be working fine. But I need to create the PDF's in pdf version 1.4 or 1.5. Regardless of Distiller settings, the pdf are being created as pdf version 1.6. So older version of reader cant read the new pdf files.
I am sure this is a simple issue, but can anyone offer a solution???
Thanks.

Still not solved. It looks that it is not possible to change the column width of the PDF download.

Developing an Add-in for Adobe Reader to insert the PDF into Lotus Notes

Hi
We currently have a document management solution in MS Word & Excel, where by you can open/create a document click a button that is linked to a macro and it brings a Document Management screen up and allows you to save the file into a new Lotus Notes Document.
We are now trying to get the same functionality into Adobe Reader, whereby a user can open a PDF they have on their PC and then go to a menu item and it will perform similar function to our macro/VB that we have setup in MS Word & Excel.
Does anyone know of anyone who has developed such an idea or could point me in the right direction of where to start developing as I have never developed any add-in/plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
This needs to be done really in Visual Basic, but any help would be great
Thanks
Ian

You start by downloading the Acrobat SDK.
In the SDK is information about developing a plugin for Reader, which will require you to obtain a license from Adobe. Submit the necessary paperwork to see if you are approved. It doesn’t make much sense to start development if you don’t get approval.
Once approved, you will want a copy of Adobe Acrobat for development as it’s easier than developing with Reader.
Plugins are developed in C/C++ and there are samples in the SDK.

Will there be iOS 8 Extension for Adobe Reader application in the upcoming version

Will Adobe reader iOS app provide extension which would allow to edit the pdf.So that we do not need to copy the file into the reader, instead we would use extension to edit the file.

Thank you for your feedback. I cannot speculate on future releases, but we will take your feedback into consideration.

Well, fortunately, the things you don't miss outnumber by far those that you miss... Or so it seems to me on reading your posts here.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Adobe Reader not recognizing the (correct) password on a password protected document

I have been opening password protected documents with Adobe Reader for months. My client just changed the password, and now, using the correct new password (I'm positive it's the correct password because I can open it on other computers, and no, my caps lock isn't on, and I've tried numerous times so it's not that I'm typing it incorrectly), Adobe is saying that the password is incorrect. Any ideas? I was thinking perhaps because I am on a Mac, or maybe because I have Adobe Reader and not the full version it isn't working... any help much appreciated!

Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

My adobe reader do not open pdf documents

I need help. When I download the update for windows, my adobe reader no open the PDF ducuments. Why?

Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader (Program Files (x86) if your Windows is 64 bit)
Double click the eula.exe file and accept the license agreement.
Reader will then be able to open.

I did download the new version of adobe but a massage showed all the time (Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser)
