Can't find Save As Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Standard.

I just bought and installed Acrobat X Standard, but cannot find the Save As > Optimized PDF option. I have seen and used this option before in Acrobat X Pro, and it was one of the reasons I bought Acrobat for myself. Adobe's own website says that this option is available in Acrobat X Standard. My File > Save As menu has options to save as PDF, Reduced Size PDF, Certified PDF, Reader Extended PDF, and the other format options but no "Optimized PDF" option.
Does anyone know what might be going on here? I've tried to look through Acrobat's Preferences to see if I missed something that would enable this option, but I haven't seen anything. Can this be fixed? I didn't fork over a bunch of money to have one of the few options I wanted not be available. If not, is this grounds enough for me to get a refund? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Any idea what can I can expect if I try to explain this to Adobe Customer Service? I bought the software as a download from Amazon, which will not refund software downloads I just learned. I'd say that since Adobe's website provides incorrect information, and I based my purchase off of that incorrect information, that they should do something for me, then fix their website so it doesn't happen again.
I see that my only two options to talk to customer service are via phone or online chat. I have no idea how helpful or unhelpful Adobe customer service is (i.e. do they use foreign hard-to-understand call centers or stock-answer chats). Does it seem like I'd have any chance in the world of communicating this fairly complicated situation and getting an actual resolution from someone? Is there any email address somewhere I can contact? That way I could copy and paste the link to the incorrect page on Adobe's website. If Adobe can't provide me with a refund of some sort, maybe they could just upgrade me to Acrobat Pro or something. If this is going to be nothing but a many-hour nightmare to try to deal with, though, I'll just eat the money I've spent.
As a last ditch effort, is it possible to upgrade from my existing Acrobat Standard to Acrobat Pro without having to buy a whole new copy of Acrobat Pro?
Geez, what a mess. Thanks for your help.

As far as I know there is no download available for older Standard versions.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Save as optimized pdf, but size not reduced

Hi
I have several pdf files where I want to reduce the size, but it is not working with the option "Save as optimized pdf" in Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
As an example here is a pdf file I created with Inkscape and Latex: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6521267/test4.pdf
This file has a size of more than 6MB and the Adobe space usage audit says, that 99% of the size is the image.
With save as optimized pdf, I can't reduce size. If I print the file as pdf, the size is reduced, but the link disappeared too.
Do you have an idea, how I can keep links but reduce the size?

This file was made by pdfLaTeX. The image is used in a tiling pattern (even though the tile is only 1x1); very unlikely that any PDF processor will shrink that, because tiles are normally used for special effect we don't want to mess with. It you make the file, see if it's an option you can turn off.

Automate Save as optimized pdf

I would like to be able to automate - as much as possible - the Save As Optimized PDF function. I have standard selections for all fields in the function. So in order of preference:
1. Automate the entire process from one input hot-folder to an output folder - without ever opening Adobe Pro.
I think this could be done with a folder javascript - but I need to know the object names within Adobe to set defaults. No clue how to get those object names?
2. Set the Save As Optimized PDF fields to a default value - so that opening the file - selecting the Save As Optimized - gives the proper results - without input from the user?
3. Any ideas I haven't thought of?

Answered my own questions - but for the curious.
Set up an Action Wizard - start from a folder - no steps are needed - Save to a different folder.
Inside the save to properties box is a selection for appending to the file name and executing PDF optimizer and all settings for the pdf optimizer - which at the moment looks like it remembers.
put some pdfs into the input folder -
open Pro - do not open any documents
execute the new wizard.
It does multiple pdfs at a time with no interaction required from the user. and appears to work very well.
Thanks

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…)

WHERE CAN I FIND or DOWNLOAD ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.7 STANDARD?

1 year ago I bought Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Standard an i have license key. Installation files i lost. Creative Cloud contain Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Premium, and does not contain Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Standard. WHERE CAN I FIND or DOWNLOAD ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.7 STANDARD?

You can get all the PDF and Online Help files from the below link :
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for-creative-suite-5-pdf -and-html.html
And yes, you can call the Local Help by pressing the F1 key but for that you need to have Adobe Help Manager(AIR application) installed.
Open Adobe Help Manager->Go To General Settings->Select "Yes" under Display Local Help Content onlyand hit done.
Launch CS6 application->Press F1 and it should open the pdf file instead of online help.

Can't convert files to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard or 9 Pro

I am having a major problem. I have tried converting both Word 2003 and Excel 2003 documents to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard (I can't recall which version because I uninstalled and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro) and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have tried to convert directly from the open document and through Acrobat using create from file. In every instance the process starts and then stops after a few moments. When I try the conversion from within Acrobat, I get the following error message: " Pdf conversion failed, please correct the error and retry." When I try the conversion directly from Word or Excel, the conversion starts, stiops suddenly and gives no error message. I have had Acrobat 8 Standard installed for a couple of years. It worked fine on this computer until the problem started a week ago or so. There have been no software or hardware changes that woudl trigger suspicion.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8 Standard version. I have uninstalled the 8 Standard version and installed the 9 Pro trial version. I have run the repair module on both versions. I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't figure out what the "error" is that I need to "correct". Any suggestions?
As an aside, I have several Adobe programs (Photoshop CS5, Contribute 3 and Acrobat), all of them expensive. Their business model of offering no unpaid support (even for this type of problem) is one reason I hate Adobe more than Microsoft... but I rant.

When you uninstalled, you should have used the MS Installer Cleanup utility. It cleans up a lot of the junk left over in the registry. You should have also deleted the Acrobat folder. Then you would reinstall. You did not indicate your OS and it may be that you need to update the AA8 to get it to work correctly. Also, the installs and uninstalls can mess up your registration process if you are not careful. If you uninstall the AA9 trial, you will not be able to reinstall it for use. At this point, I can only suggest you do a repair of your installation and be sure you have all of the updates.

Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.

Where can I find the download link for Adobe Acrobat Installer DC? We bought the product as a program and not as a subscription. Thanks'

How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard. It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion. How can I fix this?

The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half. Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.

Where can I get a download file for Adobe Acrobat X Standard?

I need a download file for Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I have an installation CD & serial # that was never activated, but the computer I'm trying to put it on does not have a CD drive. Is there anywhere I can find a download file for this?

As long as it is not a Mac there is a chance the download can be found on the following page:
Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
I say "a chance" because Acrobat Standard tends to be an issue when it comes to download availability ... give it a try.
