Create PDF's in an older Version

Dear Sir or Madam,
our company works with an interface for PDF forms. The fields of a
form are automatically recognized. For option fields are the possible
element values selectable. That works fine with forms made with the
Distiller 7.0. Newly we bought "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" that contains the
"Live Cycle Designer 8.2 A". Now the element values are only numbered.
That makes a relation to the original element values difficult.
Is there a possibility under the current 8.2 Live Cycle Designer to
create the form in an old version? Like the Distiller 7.0?
Hopefully you can understand my problem and could help me.
If not, could you give me an email-address or something like that, where i can ask
for assistance, please?
Kind regards,
Jan Forster

LiveCycle Designer makes a completely different kind of form. It you
want the old kind of form, make it in Acrobat NOT in Designer.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

CC created brush sets compatible with older versions?

Are brushes/sets created in CC compatible with CS and/or older versions of Illustrator +Photoshop please?

Most likely not except for the most rudimentary brushes. Too much stuff has changed in recent versions.

Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open

I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?

You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.

I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

Can you open the files in Preview?

Can Acrobat Pro 9 create pdf forms that are readable by older versions of Reader?

I have just downloaded the Trial of Acrobat Pro 9, and my client now tells me they only have Acrobat 5, and can't open the pdf form I've made in 9. My form uses text fields and checkboxes, tooltips but no validation or calculation. Does anyone know if it is possible to save this form in a way that is backwards compatible with Acrobat 5?
Failing this, does anyone know what version of Pro I need in order to add fields and still allow v5 to open the files?
thanks!

I did not read your original post carefully. As far as saving a form that is readable in AA5, AA5 should be able to read an AA9 form as long as you did not use any of the new fancy things in it. In the meantime, simply save the form using either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize with the compatibility set to AA5 or AR5. That process will strip any special issues from the PDF I think. At least that is my assumption. I create PDFs that are AA5 compatible all the time by simply having the properties of the Adobe PDF printer set to AR5 compatibility. As far as the form feature, that is really just a matter of being sure you use features that are AA5 compatible as I have suggested and saving, possibly using one of the two options I have mentioned. In most cases, AR5 will be able to read it even if you do not save in that process, but do not get fancy in the structure.

I have been unable to print from FF to Brother HL-1440. print generate pages w/odd bits of text from the page, and sometimes one image. If I want to print off the web, I have to print PDF. Older versions of FF print fine.

I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

PDF saveable in older versions of reader?

We are wanting to make our scholarship application available online and I know that in the past a fillable form could not be saved with just the reader program. I know the newer version permits that, but I was interested to know which versions of the reader do not offer users the feature of being able to save the fillable pdf for future use.

"Backward compatibility" (with older versions of Reader) and "Extended Features" (the ability to save a filled form and email it) are Save settings in Acrobat (Reader has nothing to do with it). Additionally, Acrobat's EULA specifically places a limit on the number of forms you can legally extract data from (500) if created with Acrobat Pro. If you expect more than the limit to be returned, you'll need to look into an Enterprise plan with LiveCycle for form creation or your organization may violate the EULA for Acrobat.

Opening ver 8 PDF files in older versions

We are processing documents with Professional 7, and are starting to receive documents created in Acrobat 8. Each document that does this throws up the pop-up regarding "created in an older version, may not be supported, etc. etc". Is this pop-up embedded in the structure of the incoming document? We have set Acrobat 7 to suppress any pop-ups, since we are processing in an automated setting on servers with no active users. I've selected "Don't show this message again" more than one time now, which leads me to think that the warning is attached to the document. Can anyone verify that?

I don't speak for Adobe, but I would recommend that, unless you have
negotated a special license for this, you stop immediately, since use
of Acrobat on a server is usually held, including by Adobe reps, to be
a breach of the EULA. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm sure
your company won't want to continue in this situation. Check out the
Developer FAQ for some written support for this statement.
In general, a different license is potentially needed for anything run
on a server, and such licenses are sometimes unavailable. Checking is
vital, and not checking can be an expensive mistake that has cost some
companies millions of dollars.
In practice, Acrobat is also wildly technically unsuitable too, so
changing now may save much grief in the future.
Adobe sell the PDF Library for server use, or there are third party
tools. Maybe Appligent's AppendPDF is the sort of tool you need.

Problem with imported pdfs from older version

I'm working in CS4. The InDesign document I'm working on was originally done in an older version of InDesign (not sure which). It contains imported pdfs that were created in CS2 and CS3. When I export to pdf the older imported pdfs don't display properly on my client's PC - the type is not there, only boxes with question marks - but the pdf looks fine on my screen. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4. The only way I've gotten around this is to export the CS4 InDesign document as an .INX file, have a friend open it up in CS3 and save down to an .INX file again, open the doc up in CS2, create the pdf from CS2, and open it in the older version of Acrobat. Then my client sees the type clearly on their PC
I'm using Suitcase (thought it was a font issue, but I don't think so now as the fix seemed to be between the CS versions.
Anyone else have this problem and/or a better solution? I'd like to be able to simply export a pdf and be done with it.
Thanks!

Thats it thank you!
There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
Thank you again!!!

ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

How do I create an installer for older versions of LV?

I have applications, for different customers, in different versions of LabVIEW. After installing the latest update to 8.2 it seems it is no longer possible to create an installer with an identical suite of additional installers. I think it should be possible to rebuild an installer with additional installers of your choice, i.e. older versions!
I would like to change only the LV-app and not the rest in order to avoid potential new problems. To be able to create an installer based on a LV-app in 8.0.1. I now need several CD:s from different LV releases. How could that be solved?

Hi Elinas,
I don't totally get what you want but I think I see your problem.
You want to create an installer with LV7.1 (or something), right?
Then when you build it and say add NI-DAQ drivers the installer asks for the LV 8.2 driver disk?
This is expected, because it is not looking at the LabVIEW version but at the NI-DAQ current version and it's origin (LV 8.2 driver disk).
There is no harm here as long as the up-to-date driver on your computer is backwards compatible (check this, the mentioned NI-DAQ and DAQmx removes older cards at every release!)
So it is not asking for the LV-disk but for the driver disk. If you want to install older drivers, you have to seperately download them from the NI-site and install them seperate (or remove the new one and install the old one, but I think you'll get errors)

I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Reinstall iWork '08 which can export to Word .doc/x files.
