PDF version from BOE SDK

Hi,
We have installed BOE 4.0 and 32 bit SDK to interact with the app server. When we create PDF from crystal reports it is giving the PDF default version 1.7.
Is there any way to change the PDF version to 1.5 hence our dependent systems does not have the capability to read the PDF version 1.7
Thanks for your help.

There is no way to change the version of the PDF the SDK or the CR designer export.

PDDocSaveWithParams does not change PDF version from 1.8 (Acrobat 9, Acrobat X) to 1.4

Dear all,
this post seems similar to this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1160826#1160826
but it is not.
Our customers prepare documents to be presented at regulatory authorities, and it is required that these documents have PDF Version 1.4, are linearized, etc. In a plug-in we change the document properties accordingly. This used to work fine with Acrobat versions from 6 to 9. Then came Acrobat X.
We detected the problem with a document created with Acrobat PDFMaker 10.0 for Word: a very simple 1-page 3-lines document with no Acrobat X features.
When using Acrobat X, after calling PDDocSaveWithParams, the PDF version was not changed as required. (We check this calling PDDocGetVersion from the plugin after saving.)
Doing the same conversion with Acrobat 9 seemed to be OK: PDDocGetVersion reported PDF Version 1.4.
But when opening the converted document in Acrobat X, it still reported "PDF Version: 1.7 Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X.x)".
Opening it in a text editor showed that the header was "%PDF-1.4", but it still had "<</Extensions<</ADBE<</BaseVersion/1.7/ExtensionLevel 8>>>>..."
With Acrobat 8 and below, the version could not be downgraded, but this was reported correctly.
Downgrading the version directly via the "Optimize" function of Acrobat X worked.
I could not test Acrobat 9, since I have no Professional version available.
In Acrobat 8 Prof, I saw the message "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.", and the "Optimize" function was disabled.
Now I have the following questions:
(1) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade the version with Acrobat X ?
(2) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade correctly with Acrobat 9 ?
(3) Is it a known problem that Acrobat9 wrongly reports the PDF Version of the document, in this case ?
(4) Why is downgrading (or optimizing) disabled for Acrobat 8 and below ?
Thank you !

Remember that as of PDF 1.4, the version number in the PDF header can be overridden via a /Version key in the /Catalog dictionary. In addition, the presence of an /Extension dictionary (ISO 32000-1) will also override the header version.
The header version is JUST A HINT - it is NOT a guarantee of any sort.
Based on both of the above, neither of your "bugs" are bugs.
Acrobat 9 (and I assume X as well) are reporting correctly. If you have a PDF that you believe IS being reported incorrectly, please post!
If the Extensions dict is present, the Save command will NOT override it since it takes precedence.

How to retain the PDF's compression when changing the PDF version?

Hi,
I need to change the PDF version from "1.5" to "1.6" without changing the original PDF compression (i.e compressed object streams) using "Acrobat X pro".
I had tried to change one sample PDF version from 1.5 to 1.6 using "PDF Optimizer" and found the following results.
================================
Input PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.5
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for "254" pages except "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
Output PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.6
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for all the "256" pages including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
================================
"Pages has compressed object streams" found for all the "256" pages (but input PDF has only 254 pages) including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover".
But I want to retain all the properties of input PDF with version change. This is my actual requirement.
I hope that Acrobat expert will offer some useful suggestions for the above. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raja. S

Thanks for the reply.
I had tried everything under "Clean Up" option (PDF optimizer>Clean Up) but "Pages has compressed object streams" applied automatically.
Note: If I check the option "Optimize the PDF for fast web view" under Clean Up, then output retain the required source PDF compression. But I must not change the source PDF to "Fast web view".
This is not testing purpose and this is one of our client requirement. Kindly advise with better solution to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raja. S

Whewn using Firefox 5, I can't save or print PDF's from the Federal Court Websites. It might be about associating files in Firefox

Internet Explorer works for this but Firefox does not. And, it is only the PDF's on the U.S. Court System's Pacer or CM/ECF websites.

I had been having a similar problem with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
But at last I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons too!.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

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.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
1. Quit Internet Explorer(any other browser)
2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
4. Select Internet in the list on the left.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

What is the best way to find what version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on a windows OS?

Hi,
I am developing a .Net App in which i want to find which version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on an Windows OS.
It can be any of the software
Adobe Reader
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
or any other.
How to find out?

The best way would be to find and query the AcroRd32.exe executable. The file version information is stored in the executable itself.
There are lots of places in the registry that you could also potentially access relevant information.
For example the uninstall string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Contains a string that you could use to search for the application version.
How you would do this in .NET I'm not sure but you would use some kind of text search command to search for the relevant text and then use "if exists" condition.

Ordered book from Blurb and pdf version. Pdf version won't open properly in Digital Editions 2.

My pdf version of a book I ordered from Blurb tries to open in digital editions 2 but only shows me random pages. It cannot "read" the book page by page. Any suggestions?

It doesn't give me the option to save it to my desktop. I am on a website trying to apply for a work permit so I am in 'find forms and applications', I find the application I need from a long list and then press the 'submit' button and then this page opens up on the internet saying It won't open because It needs the latest Adobe..

Opening pdf Version of User Manual from Within Aperture 3

In Aperture 2, I could open the pdf version of the User Manual from the Help Menu. I've downloaded the pdf version of the Aperture 3 Manual and would prefer to open it (instead of the html version) from within Aperture using Acrobat or Preview. Is there a way to set this up .... perhaps with an Applescript or a Service?
Cheers,
Peter O.

Hi Peter
Try this.... http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/ (I realise you already have it)
Click on the Aperture3 User manual Link, when it opens in Safari, go to > File > Print (don't worry) > you then get a drop down menu > click the PDF link (next to the help question mark) > then from the new drop down menu click > Save PDF to Aperture
Peter, I haven't tried this myself so am not sure if it's what you want, let me know if it is what you require, I would be interested to know...
Regards.... Gerry..
Peter I tried it, it only downloaded the first page and let me save it in Aperture as a Project... Not what you needed i'm afraid... back to the drawing board

Is it possible to recover an original pdf document from a modified version??

I received a court document in pdf thats internal content was modified, is it in anyway possible to recover the original from the modified version?

It is possible they did a quick save to preserve the file identity, the metadata shows the program used was to modify the document was 'tx11 pdf version 11.0.111.501. Are either of you familiar with such a program?
I am on xp, when I right click properties there is a separate pdf tab. Indicating: The file was created jan 2012 and modified August 2013. The pdf producer is tx11 pdf 11.0.111.501.
I had a friend of a friend look at it and he said "the content was modified, not the file container itself, August 1st 2013, 5:13 a.m. according to its meta data the modification was made by tx11 pdf version 11.0.111.501". He gave me a printout of the metadata but I dont know the program used.
Whats interesting is the modification date is the same in pdf properties tab but the modification time is 9 am a 4 hour difference. 5 am is before office hours 9 am is shortly after arriving. The august date was a week after a court order.
So it is possible the file was taken home modified then replaced on the office computer. I am suspecting by a paralegal.
