Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
Thanks heaps.

Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

  • Using Adobe Forms and document will not convert to a PDF file

    I just purchased the Forms add on pack today and I was able to create a form with no trouble.  I would like to have the form downloaded as a PDF (which is an option in this package) and I keep getting and error message that says Adobe is unable to download the form at this time.  I tried opening and downloading the form on different computers at my work, all generating the same error message.  Is there an Adobe issue, or could this be a security feature that is not enabled on my highly blocked/monitored work computer that I have limited control over?  I can view the form as a link, embedded URL, and web form, just having so much difficulty getting it to open as a PDF, really the only way I want to use this program.  If this is a temporary problem, then I can wait until its resolved, however, if I can never open any forms I create as a PD, the package is useless to me.

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

  • Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

    I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

    I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
    1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
    2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
    3. If it's a browser
    (a) what is the browser
    (b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.
