PDF version changes after deleting a page and "Save"

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.04. I have a PDf in version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I add 1 or 2 pages at the beginning and/or the end using the "Insert" - "Empty page" option. When I now choose "save", everything goes well and the version of the pdf remains the same.
However, sometimes it occurs that I have to delete pages certain pages. I select the thumbnails of the page, click right and choose "delete pages". My pdf is now still in version 1.4. I choose "file" and "Save". Now my pdf version has been automatically changed to version 1.6 (Adobe 7.x). The same thing happens when I use "File" - "Save as". I can't seem to find the setting that changes this PDF-version.
I know I can use "File" - "Save as optimized". However I always get an error (on fonts or transparancy objects) when trying to save as version 1.4.
The software that processes my PDF afterwards, requires a very strict pdf version (and settings). Therefor it's important that the pdf settings don't change.
Does anyone has a solution for this problem? Is this a settings in Acrobat Pro? Is there a work around for this problem?

Thanks for your reply.
You are right with "save as optimized" is the way to go, however I always get error messages using this function. When I save as optimized, Acrobat will first save the pdf (and thus convert it to version 1.6). After that Acrobat will start converting the pdf (flattening transparant objects, etc.) back to version 1.4. I mostly get an error on the transparant objects.
My version is in dutch but the error should be something like "an error was encountered while flattening transparent objects"
I don't really understand why these objects have to be flattened again as the pdf I started working with was already in version 1.4.

Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

Image position changed after deleting pages

Hi
I have a book with on each page one image (no text). When I delete the first two pages, +-50% of my images or moved 6 mm to the right. This happens across the entire book and there is no logic or pattern in where this happens and where not.
Did somebody have the same experience or an explanation for this? The document was made with Indesign CS5.

You can try deleting the "media" folder on your iDisk and then republish.
Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web /Sites.
Open your "website" folder and delete the media file.
Also, make sure you have deleted any audio files that may be hidden in your iWeb page. Sometimes its better to delete the page and start a new one when things go wrong.

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title. Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

When I convert a document from wordperfect to PDF it only converts the 1st page and ignores the othe

When I convert my wordperfect document to PDF it only converts the 1st page and does not even show the other pages. This is a new development because in the past it has converted all pages.

Hi KP122,
Is it document specific or occurs with all the documents.
What is the extension of the word perfect documents?
You can convert the following File types to PDF
Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX)
Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX)
Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLSX)
Microsoft Publisher (PUB)
text (TXT)
Rich Text Format (RTF)
Adobe PostScript® (PS)
Adobe InDesign (INDD)
image (bitmap, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG)
OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF, SXW, SXI, SXC, SXD, STW).
To convert a file type not listed above, use Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1?

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1? It says I don't have enough room to upgrade so I have deleted some of everything but do not see an improvement in my storage space. Help?

No need to empty anything.
You can update by connecting your phone to iTunes on your computer. This way you bypass the space limitations.
Good Luck

Sounds like a verification issue on whatever marketplace you bought PS Touch from. Did you try contacting Google or Apple to see what they say?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Delete first page and move the second and the third one to the end of the document

Hello Guys,
First of all thanks for anyone that dedicated some time reading my post.
I have the following "quest" for almost 1000 pdf files with different pages within.
a) Delete the first page (I managed with the batch processing)
b) Move page 2 and 3 after the last page of that document
Already searched already with the "batch processing" however i didn't find any useful option.
In my opinion (please guys correct if i'm wrong), the only way that I can do it, is with a javascript.
I found one on the web, and modified a little bit and tried however it doesnt work:
// Creazione file temp per copy delle pagine 2 e 3
var tempDoc = app.newDoc("/C/copytemp.pdf");
// Copy delle pagine 2 e 3
tempDoc.insertPages({
          cPath: "/C/PDF Originali/*.pdf",
          nStart: 2,
          nEnd: 3
// Copy le pagine 2 e 3 alla fine del documento:
this.insertPages({
          nPage: 100,
          cPath: "/C/copytemp.pdf"
// Cancella pagine 1 a 3
this.deletePages({nStart: 1, nEnd: 3});
Anyone would be so kind to share any solution external or non from to help me out with that quest? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks !

Gilad, thanks for the fast response, actually i don't know if i'm doing something wrong.
Let me explain you my steps.
1) Batch Processing
2) New Sequence - Execute Javascript
3) Past your script
4) Run Command on: Ask when sequence....
5) Select output location: Ask when sequence....
But nothing happens. Would u be so kind to help with that?
Thanks again!

How to extract part of a pdf page and save that as a pdf page on its own?

I need to extract part of a pdf page. I know how to extract full page, but that is not what I want. I need to extract part of it, ideally, using the mouse to select some rectangular area, and export the selected part to either separate pdf page, or to export to vector graphics such as .svg
Is there a tool to allow one to do this? Currently I take screen shot of the page, and use other tools to extract the parts I want. thanks.

thank you. The crop tools helps. But I am still not sure what to do after I select the area I want. I looked at Acrobat Help | Crop PDF pages
So, after I select the crop tool and select the area. Now what to do?
If I double click the cropped area, as the help says, it will just delete everything on the page except the cropped area.
How do I tell it to either export the selected area to .svg, or save the selected area to a separate one page pdf file? I do not want to modify the original PDF file, I just want to make a copy of the cropped area, either to .svg image, or to separate pdf file, so I can include that in another document.

After deleteing Custom CSS and Custom Functions, cannot get FireFox to recognize audio player. Works in IE and Safari. Site is https and using bluehost.

Using the Genesis Framework on my WordPress site. I can use Safari and IE. However, when I try to use Fire Fox, it will not appear. I deleted all of my Custom CSS and Functions. Still, nothing is working. Contacted bluehost, the representative there was not able to help me out and also emailed CD Baby to see what might work. I am not sure if it is something with my site using HTTPS instead of HTTP of why this is not working? I am told the plugin works on Fire Fox but I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. Also changed themes and used Twenty Thirteen among others. Still the same thing. Fire Fox will not work. Tried in Text widget, and pasting on a page, and still not working. IE and Safari it is fine. Do I need to add something else within my site? Thanks ahead of time for any way to solve this situation.

There is mixed active content loaded in an iframe that Firefox is blocking as you can see by the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar.

PDF version not clear on certain pages

When I make a PDF version of my Pages document, any page that contains a shape has degraded quality font. The only two fonts I'm using are Verdana and Times New Roman.
Any suggestions?

Peter,
What you are saying makes perfect sense. I know transparencies and other effects can cause problems - for example in iweb, adding effects to HTML text turns the whole text box into a graphic. However, this doesn't seem to be the issue here.
In my doc, I have no graphics overlapping text boxes. The graphic is well apart from the text box. It's as if adding graphics anywhere on a page causes the whole page to be rendered as a graphic - perhaps then being rendered, as you suggest, as a bitmap.
To add to the confusion, I thought I had this figured out. I had been using TIFF files and tried JPG instead. It seemed to make a difference. However, continued testing showed that was NOT what was making the difference . . .
Now I'm finding that the PDF is rendering differently depending on which screen I'm viewing it on, what magnification I'm using and what program I'm using to view it!
I'm running a macbook w. Intel core 2 duo, Snow Leopard. I also have a 22" Samsung monitor attached for a dual monitor setup. When I open the PDF on the macbook screen (using Adobe Reader) at 122%, the text page with graphics looks OK (not great, but OK) when I drag it over to the bigger monitor, it initially looks the same. However, if I re-size it on the bigger monitor, say go from 122% to 125%, I get the jagged edges text look again!
OK, next step: Go to a different macbook, boot up in bootcamp & Windows. Same PDF with graphics looks fine in Adobe Reader in any magnification.
Another option: Try on old mac G5 power PC (running Leopard) Same PDF looks fine in Preview. However, download latest version of Adobe Reader and we're back to the Jagged text look.
Go back to original, dual-monitor macbook and try same PDF in Preview. Looks fine.
So, the issue appears to be specifically how Adobe Reader is rendering the PDF??
Using Adobe Reader 8.1.6 on main macbook, 7.0 on Windows and the latest 9 something, on G5
At this point, I am using Verdana font, 13 pt., dark gray on a white background in my doc. It appears I can export from Pages with graphics to PDF and get a PDF that renders on-screen in MOST cases in acceptable form. However, I wish I felt better that ALL by clients were seeing the same thing (Isn't that the whole idea behind PDFs?) rather than have to worry that some may see poorly rendered text.
I very well may still be missing something here, so if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!
And, thanks Peter for the suggestion!
