Can any one confirm if adobe 8 standard can "save as" PDF/A?

Hello, I cannot find anywhere in the Acrobat documentation whether Adobe 8 standard can save as PDF/A or whether this can only be done using Adobe 8 professional?. I will be grateful if anyone could let me know. Thanks!

Hi vborr,
Please download the user guide of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard from the link below:
http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/8/standard/acrobat_8_help.pdf
Please read 'Adobe PDF conversion settings' on the page 92 and 93 of the user guide. This will provide you the information regarding PDF/A and Acrobat 8.

Can provide more information if needed...

Hello nmohamm,
To examine the conversion settings in Acrobat, do the following:
1. Select Edit > Preferences
2. In the preferences dialog, select the "Convert From PDF" category.
3. In the "Converting From PDF" list, select "Excel workbook".
4. Click the "Edit Settings" button to view your conversion settings.

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi jeffjn,
Please log out of your account, clear the cache, and then log back in. If that doesn't work, please log in using a different web browser. (See System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported web browsers.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Printing an html msg to pdf crashes the driver but I can save to pdf from Abat

I have a user on a windows 7 64bit with Acrobat 9. He's got a message that we've saved to an xps. It opens fine in outlook and in xps viewer. When I try to print it in either one it crashes the acrobat printer driver. But I can open the xps in Acrobat and save to pdf just fine. Huh?

Some useful reference material.
At http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Acrobat 10.1 adds PDFMaker support for these Office 2010 64-bit applications: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
Acrobat 9 and earlier users can create Adobe PDF files using the Adobe PDF printer.
For more information, see PDFMaker unavailable in 64-bit Office 2010.
(http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdfmaker-unavailable-64-bit-office.html)
n.b., Acrobat 9 just went to 9.5.2
Be well...

Is there any way I can save a PDF without XFA technology?

i need to open and be able to fill out fields in the PDF in a third-party viewer. I am not able to due to the XFA technology which isn's supported by the program that I need to use

There is no way to go back from an XFA form to an Acroform even with Acrobat Pro, still less with Acrobat. You either need to remake the form, or change your plans to use a third party viewer - Adobe have an excellent range of programs they would like you to use!

You can save a pdf file can be edited in a non-editable pdf format ????

I need to save the pdf file after compiling it in a non-editable format

Sign it using a digital signature.

Trouble with inserting pages in Adobe 9 Standard

"Insert Pages" function was not available when trying to insert pages: from file: is greyed out and the pdf's were created in Adobe 8 standard, did try the combine function using the merge function but the signatures were lost and it did state that it was better to do a portfolio but when doing the portfolio you are unable to select the display meaning how to look at the portfolio which is not good, because basically the insert pages function allows you to look at all pdf's together in a straight vertical line and the portfolio function you have to click one pdf at a time to really view the pdf even though they all show in the portfolio and they are displayed horizontal.
I would think that Adobe 9 standard is compatible with pdf's created in Adobe 8 standard there has to be a work around to insert pages and have the option to put them before or after the pdf's that are already there.
I am hoping someone can give some insight on this issue with Adobe 9 standard.

You're going to give us more information for us to help you.
What operating system? What version of InDesign? What happens when you insert a page (and how are you choosing to insert a page)? Does it happen with just one file, or does also happen on a clean new file?

(Adobe 8 Standard) When I print to PDF my redactions (black highlights/100% opacity) get messed up.

They become see-through! Anyone know why this is and whether there's a way to fix it?
The reason I want to print to PDF is to save a new version of the PDF that doesn't allow you to remove the highlights. I know you can save individual PDF pages as TIFF files then re-insert them into the PDF, but this takes forever (as does printing and scanning etc.). I guess my broader question is, does anyone know of the easiest way to do non-removeable redactions in Adobe 8 Standard?

Throughout this exchange it has seemed like you don't understand exactly what's going on on my end. You said "I don't think it does" in reference to my saying that the opacity gets reduced. Here are screenshots of the process I'm talking about, and in the last screenshot you can clearly see through to the underlying text: http://imgur.com/a/YGUB7
Is this just an Adobe glitch? Do you, as a software developer, have any of your own thoughts on the issue?

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.

Adobe Reader disables Save as PDF

I have been filling a few tax forms as I usually do every year. Once I was done I tried to save it as a pdf, as I have always done. But I find that Adobe Reader has disabled saving as pdf!
Let me explain that when I say before I was able to do that, I mean I was able to use Adobe Reader on Windows to fill in the forms, and the print was captured by a PDF printer such as CutePDF or PdfCreator. I thought when I switched to Mac that I would never have to deal with those virtual printers since the functionality is built in on the OS.
I have a couple of questions about this:
1) Why on earth does Mac OS allow a third-party program to mess with a basic OS function? Isn't Acrobat crossing a line by doing that?
2) Is there any way to block Acrobat from blocking the save as PDF function?
3) If not, what alternative do you suggest to save filled forms?
To question 3), saying that (a) you are not supposed to be able to save those anyway is bull (b) use Preview is a no go, since many forms I have seen are misaligned/missing fields/plain unworkable with in Preview, (c) install a pdf printer as in Windows (I actually tried this, the only one for Mac OS I could
find was cups-pdf, and despite what it says on the website it does NOT work on
Snow Leopard).
So, there. I guess that for the time being I have to keep a Windows machine
around to fill in pdf forms. But I find it downright outrageous that an OS
as secure (according to advertising) as Mac OS allows any program to just mess
with its internals like that. Who knows what else they will do next with that
type of access?

We had a similar problem.
Adobe owns PDF. When you create a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat (the pay-for-it product), you can choose to allow the user to save the file after filling the form fields. You can also control if printing or saving is allowed.
Most files you find on the web are not modifiable. You are expected to print them out on paper and then fill them out by hand. This includes tax forms. This includes my State Farm claim forms! This includes my Mathematica activation request! For Apple to include editing of all PDF docs with the OS, they would have to pay Adobe a licensing fee.
Only the paid for CutePDF allows editing. They purchased a license. PDFCreator only allows reading/printing, pretty much the same as the free Reader. My Windows favorite is the same way: The free version of Foxit can not edit. The version that does edit costs $100.
Our college solved the problem by buying one copy of Adobe Acrobat and installed it on a common faculty computer. As we seldom need to edit files, it's pretty easy to sit down and get it done when necessary.
Don't you just love expensive proprietary software?
typos
I am not talking about editing a PDF. I am talking about a fillable form, which I am allowed to fill in, but I cannot save the filled form as a plain pdf (on Mac, as I could do in Windows for free with Adobe Reader and a pdf printer).

Can't make pdf

First of all, is there a way to actually talk to a tech? While I appreciate forums, this is a definite technical issue and it probably can't be solved on a forum. This is a crummy way of doing customer service...throwing us in the forum and not having any actual Adobe experts from the company and if there are some, then I apologize, but I wish I could have picked up the phone and called someone or spoken to someone via a chat window.
I cannot make pdfs. I used to be able to make them easily. It seems to me having observed what happens with the computer that Adobe must have told Microsoft it couldn't use the pdf function any more, because it doesn't work. It seems more and more invasive on trying to figure out how to not let any kind of pdf file be made, even though I have the File...Save As...pdf. I used to make them easily, many of them. Then when Microsoft went to a higher level (ugh) of Windows, it didn't work any more. These are problems that I am experiencing. 1. When I try to make a .pdf it turns into a Firefox icon, not a .pdf icon. I have to have Firefox, it is the only internet browser that works for me. Chrome, IE, Safari, and Opera won't, so telling me to uninstall Firefox won't work for me. I did last night, and it got so bad I had to reinstall it. 2. So I tried using a zip file creator with the Firefox icon since that was all I had to work with, I couldn't get a .pdf icon, and when I zipped the file, which it did do, and then tried to unzip it, it asked for a password.
This Firefox deal is a big deal and it does not just affect me. I got on the internet and tried for about 2 hours last night to solve this, and I see other people having this problem. When attachments are sent to me any more, they come with a Firefox icon and I can't view them. It's useless. pdf used to be so good, and now it is trash.
I cannot do anything technical, so don't give me an answer about getting into files and doing this or that, because it won't happen.
What I need is a tech who can work on my computer remotely, and solve the problem, but I won' t find that in a forum.

I am not a tech. I do not do technical things. If the answer is for me to
mess with files on my computer, I cannot, nor will I, and potentially break
my computer. Companies who have techs should make software that works and
does not break down for customers. As to whose software it is, at high
levels these corporations are connected anyway. The only solution will be
a new computer. I have tried every suggestion. The problem with
suggestions is that when the suggestion says go to options...and then the
next step, if the next step does not view the same way on my computer as
someone else's computer, which it does not, I cannot follow the
1...2...3...steps because the views are different. I don't know why...out
of my technical realm. Screenshots would be better. I appreciate your
attempt, but a geek cannot understand the difficulty a mere mortal non-geek
has with this stuff. I've done the Microsoft...hit this button to fix
solution. I've tried to follow suggestions, but, as I said, they are over
my head and $20 compared to buying a new computer would be worth it,
however, I do believe that companies create problems to sell services, and
others have told me that scenario exists as well. This computer only works
with Firefox. I will have to find a computer that does not require
Firefox. I've uninstalled Firefox and had to reinstall it because Chrome,
IE, Safari, and Opera are so bad. I don't care about bells and whistles on
computers. I would just like something simple, the simple stuff I need, to
work. I can save a .pdf from Word, but it turns into a Firefox icon which
when I zip that (since I have no choice, no other option of what I can
zip), and then later unzip it, it asks for a password to unzip and I have
no clue what that is since I didn't create a password. It is not solely a
problem with my computer. Lately, when people send me .pdf documents, I
cannot open them. The only way I can open them is save them to Google
Drive and view them there, This is tedious and time consuming. I used to
be able to do all this easily, and I was the same non tech person back then
that I am today. I'm still programmed as a non-tech person.The thing that
changed is "someone's" programming, whether it is Microsoft, Adobe, or
Firefox, I do not know. Of course, trying to solve this I read many things
and I believe I remember a lawsuit so I think they (Microsoft/Adobe) make
it more difficult in order to try to get all the goodies (we alone have
sovereign rights to the software) for themselves and not the competition.
What that does is open the door to customers to leave and find another
solution. As for Word 97, it worked far better than Word 2010. I get
error messages often when I try to save. How many times I have I sent
error messages to Microsoft?...too many to count. New and shinier is not
necessarily better and I really question whether they check things out
thoroughly before publishing new things and pushing them out to the public,
or whether they deliberately leave doorways that can create potential
problems in order to make it easier for the NSA. I need a "hit the button
to fix this solution". I cannot do the tech stuff and what I've tried, has
not worked.

How can I save a pdf file on my ipad so I can view it later

I want to be able to view a pdf file on my ipad when I do not have access to internet but I can't seem to save it on my ipad

You need an app into which it can be saved. Download iBooks or Adobe Reader which are both free in the App Store, then you can save the PDF files into one of those apps. I prefer Adobe Reader because you can annotate, highlight, rename create folders, add your signature and do some other things that you cannot do with iBooks.
After you download one of those apps, tap the PDF file in order to open it, than tap on the screen somewhere in order to make the sayer icon appear in the upper right corner. Tap the share icon and then select Open In iBooks or Adobe Reader from the resulting pop up window. That will save the file to the app.

Firefox or Adobe will not allow downloading useable PDF files anymore. Started with last update of Adobe/Firefox.

For the last few days, I think it was after an update in Firefox or an update in Adobe reader, I cannot save a PDF file from the web and then open it with either Adobe Reader or PDFlite.
The file opens and I can read it just fine within Firefox using Adobe Reader, I guess as a plug in.
But if I save the file as a PDF it saves just fine, with a PDF extension, but when I try to read the PDF file with Adobe or PDFlite it gives an error message - "Adobe Reader could not open <filename> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I download a lot of datasheets so this is suddenly a major problem for me.
Thanks - Don

Hi Don, there might not be an advantage for you if Adobe works well for you. There are some articles on the motivation for developing a non-proprietary PDF reader -- which is definitely a work-in-progress -- but I don't have the references handy.
Let me tackle some of those individual items:
(1) Unknown publisher warning. This is odd, do you notice that with any other downloads?
It might be a feature of Windows download security. By default, Firefox marks downloads as having come from the internet. You can turn that off by turning off Firefox's antivirus integration. Your real-time AV software still will check files once they are downloaded; this feature is really for people who do not have full-time AV, only on-demand AV.
To toggle that setting:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false. You're done with about:config.
Does that affect the warning?
(2) Where do you see "Save as PDF"?
I have "Save Page As" on the menu. That worked when I tried a simple PDF. By worked I mean it opened without complaint in Adobe Reader. I suspect it's doing the same thing as the download button.

Can't print PDF's from outlook web access

When I open a pdf from outlook web access the pdf opens in a new tab just fine. When I try to print from that tab it doesn't print. The printing dialog box doesn't come up, nothing happens. I can save the pdf and print it fine. I'm using internet explorer 9 and adobe 9. The operating system is windows 7, I've also tried this on the windows server 2008r2. I've tried it using adobe reader free version and get the same problem.

Are you using a Canon printer? If so:

I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

Can any one confirm if adobe 8 standard can "save as" PDF/A?
