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.

How to open a pdf file in signed version?

Hello,
I like to open a singed pdf file in the singed version mode.
If I open the pdf with command windows.open() it's possible to change the fields of the pdf file, signed fields are displayed but we don't want to give the user the change opportunity. When I open the pdf with windows.show() then the singed fields are empty and we want to see the signed fields as well.
When I do a right click on the signed field there is an option show signed version. Then the edit functions an interactive functions are disabled. This is the state I like to open the pdf files. How to achieve this?
hope that someone can help me!

this is the error which i'm getting while executing the code
init:

Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

Opening Keynote 13 files in older versions of Keynote

I'm having trouble sharing files created in the newest version of keynote (5.1?) with other versions (4.4?). I've tried exporting the file to Keynote 09 through "Export..." but my coworkers are unable to open the file.
I apologize if this has been asked already but how do I either save a version that others can open or revert back to the old keynote?

It isn't possible to directly convert a D11 file to a D10
file. The
file format is not backwards compatible and there is no way
within
Director to save it as an older version. There is a guy named
Valentin
who made a XML exporter for the Director format, so using his
scripts
you can save the D11 version to XML, then reconvert that XML
into D10.
It is only a beta thing, and there is no official support for
it, but
you can try it for free and see if it works for you.

Can you open an FCP file in older versions?

I have a G4 with FCP 4 HD. And I also have, or now "had" a G5 with FCP 5 something on it. The G5 logic board i think just died on me because it currently does not boot up.
Am I able to open an FCP file in an older version?

The G4 is currently running OS 10.3.9.
I have an OS 10.4 installation disc but the G4 does not load it, it stops shortly after the installation process begins and I don't know why it won't install.
I do not have the FCP 5 discs. And do not believe it would even work on OS10.3, or would it?

Open Newer FCP files on Older Version?

I was sent an FCP folder with a file presumably made on FCP 5. When trying to open with my v4.5 computer, it says the file is too new and cannot be opened. Is there a way to convert the file so I can open it? I'd prefer not to upgrade at this time just to work on one small, unpaid, project.

The person who sent you the project needs to Export the contents of the Browser to XML, and select the XML Interchange format version 1. Then they can send you the XML file. No guarantees as to how much of the project will translate to your FCP HD system, but most of it should, maybe all of it.
When you get it, create a new project, and Import the XML file.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

MAC OSX version 10.4.11 and I can't seem to open any PDF
I'm having this problem as well. I have both Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed with the proper internet plug-in, using OS 10.4.11. When I try to open a pdf file in Safari I get a window asking me to choose an application to open the file, but both applications are dimmed and cannot be selected. I have tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, but without success. In Firefox I simply get a blank, darkened window. __Previously, before I installed Leopard and was using Tiger, I had Acrobat Reader 7.0 as well as AR 8.0 installed, and I was only able to select AR 7.0, but it worked. Now nothing works. This is a serious problem that Adobe needs to address!

Firefox will not open Adobe PDF files on my mini Mac (I have reader x and the latest Quicktime versions)

When I try to download a pdf file sometimes an error message appears and states can't down load file, Quicktime may need an extension. Other times the page just stays blank - nothing happens.
This happens very frequently. I can open some pdf files in Firefox. The problem appears with downloading.
I have the same software in Safari and Firefox and I do not have this problem with Safari - I can download PDFs in that browser

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.
