Editable pdf needs to be saved as a pdf x1/2001

Hi,
I made a pdf with editable fields so client could update the text and then save it as a pdf from Adobe Reader for the printers. Things were working out fine they could edit, save and print the files themselves, but then we ran into problems when they tried to send the file to the printers.
The printers are using a system called Dalim Twist and they say they want the files saved as a PDF version x1/2001 which Adobe Reader 8 or 9 doesn't save that legacy version. Is there a software that will save an editable PDF as a PDF version X1/2001?
I tried opening the file in Adobe Acrobat 9.2 and saving it, but it won't let me save a pdf X1/2001 because it has editable fields and version X1/2001 doesn't support editable fields. Is there a way of collapsing or flattening the editable file so it can be save it as a pdf X1/2001, because after the client edits the file the printer doesn't need to edit the file so it doesn't matter if the editing capability is gone.
If there's anyone out there with a solution, your awesome!
Thanks,
Mya

In Adobe Acrobat Pro you can use the Preflight Tool to flatten the documents.

Dynamic form needs to be saved as a flat/unmodifiable pdf

Hi All,
Please let me know what i can do!
I have enabled "Enable Additional Features" in acrobat to allow my dynamic pdf form to be saved. However, after being saved and reopenning the saved form in reader, the pdf is still dynamic and edits can to text fields or drop down lists can still be made. I need it to be saved as a flat pdf file.
I also have a "submit by email" button, programmed to email the filled out pdf to a particualr emailbox. Clicking the "submit by email" button, will attach the pdf, but unfortunately the file still allow edits.
Help please!

Hi,
a XFA form cannot be real flattened by Acrobat nor Reader except by printing.
Another method is to set all fields access property to readOnly be scripting.
function lockFields(vNode) {
    if (vNode.className === "field") {
        vNode.access = "protected";
    for (var i = 0; i < vNode.nodes.length; i += 1) {
        lockFields(vNode.nodes.item(i));
lockFields(xfa.form);

Then you need to upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro, which you can do from the Adobe Products Page.

Im already paying to edit PDF, annual do I need to pay to convert to PDF?

Hi javierh10934255,
I've checked your account: You have an active Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which lets you convert files to and from PDF. What are you using to edit your PDF files? Do you also have Acrobat? If so, then you may not need the PDF Pack subscription.
Best,

How can I retain the high resolution of images saved in a PDF?

I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI. The images are 1440dpi but always save ate 120dpi. The PDF is for the content of a picture book so I need to be able to save them at a minimum of 300dpi. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks for your reply CtDave
Unfortunately I can't find anything useful in Preferences >Convert to PDF >JPEG >Edit Settings
There are settings in Distiller that look more useful, but it appears that before they can be applied the Acrobat file has to be saved. It seems possible that it needs to be saved as a PostScript file and then converted to a PDF in Distiller, but this doesn't make any difference the way that I've (probably wrongly!) done this
.. I've changed the image in Acrobat and saved the file as .ps, but when I open the .ps file in Distiller with the new settings (Downsample Color Images: Bicubic Downsampling to 1400 pixels per inch for imahes above 1400 pixels per inch) and convert it to .pdf I find that the image is still reduced to 120dpi

Hyperlinks not saved correctly in PDF and Excel

Hi,
I have a few reports with hyperlinks to other reports that contain multiple input parameters, which makes the links very long. ( greater than 400 characters )
When the reports are saved as excel, I am unable to invoke the child report on clicking the link as the link is not saved entirely ( can see that when i try to edit the hyperlink in excel ). Therefore the child report opens but prompts for inputs as not all the inputs are passed
When saved as pdf, the link is not saved correctly and i cannot invoke the child report at all
Please can you suggest a solution/workaround? Alternately is it possible to disable the hyperlinks when saved as excel/pdf?
Regards
Sameer

Hello,
I think this is a limitation in Excel where URL syntax has to be 255 characters or less
In order to prove that it's coming from excel and not BO, try in excel to create a false hyperlink which contains more than 255 characters.
A workaround might be to modify the cell as text and will not be recognized as a URL. So you should get it entirely.
Please let me know if it helps you
Regards,
Philippe

I need to divide a large 111MB PDF

I need to divide a large 111MB PDF into several smaller more manageable pieces. I have CS5 but it won't open it. I just bought PDF Extractor so I could convert it to a Microsoft Word File and edit from there. Message says, file too big, over 100MB. How can I do this?

You need Acrobat if you want to split the file.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

Bug Report: "View PDF After Saving" Does Not Work When Saving as Photoshop PDF

The saved PDF file is not opening in Acrobat after saving a file as a Photoshop PDF. I noticed it happening a few times in earlier beta testing, but today it happened again.
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 installed on MacPro with Lion OS 10.7.3. Photoshop public beta m415. System info can be provided if needed.
The file I was trying to save was about 8 MB. Once it failed to open after save, I tried varied PDF settings and save locations. Also tried several different files. All were saved properly as PDF files, but would not continue to open in Acrobat as previous versions have done. The files open properly when you click on the file names in saved location.

I'm happy I could help and feel a bit proud to have found a real bug. The simplest work around is just clicking on the file list once it's done...that's certainly not a problem.

User can't open presentation saved as a PDF file

I sent a presentation saved as a PDF file and the user could not open it. The error message received was that his computer needed Adobe Flash Player 16.0. Despite installing it, he still gets the same error message.

Problem was solved by doing another installation of flash and rebooting.

Saving information in pdf created in Adobe forms

I am certain there is a simple solution to this issue but I cannot find the answer. I have created some template forms in FormCentral that I use in a therapy clinic. Once I have created the forms I save them as a pdf. I then enter the information relating to the patient then save the pdf. However, when I send this pdf form to other people the form they open in blank. Can someone please let me know how to make save the information I enter into a form that have created in FormCentral and saved as pdf. I don't have any requirements for others to complete the forms I create. Just want to save my info. Thanks!

You need to find out what devices and apps or programs are being used to view the PDFs.
Many mobile apps that can read basic PDF documents cannot process PDF forms and form fields.

Media file (quicktime) not playing when Pages document is saved as a pdf

I added a quicktime file (a movie trailer) to my presentation and it plays when in Pages - but when I export it to a pdf it is just a black space. 1. are these links/media files are supposed to be active when in a pdf format 2. how can I get the media file to play when it is saved as a pdf? 3. Will those who I email it to be able to play the media file when they open it up on their computer?
thanks so much in advance - I am under a tight deadline so any help would be appreciated!

Multimedia is not embedded in exported .pdf files.
You will need to relink them again in the .pdf using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

A PDF is really an electronic print of your document & is not intended for future editing. You should always save a copy of the original document in the program that created it & use that for edits. You can then export or print the revised document to PDF, again saving the original.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have a PDF saved on iCloud Drive and would like to view that on your iPad. To view a PDF on your iPad, you would either need to sync from your computer view it from an email attachment. For more information on these processes, please refer to the attached article.
