Saving PDF for versions 4 and above

How can I save a document to be compatible with versions 4 and above of Acrobat?
FayeC

Assuming you have the proper version of Acrobat, you can use FILE>Reduce File Size or use the PDF Optimizer in another menu. Both of these allow saving in an earlier version. They may only be in Pro and only in a version newer than what you have.
A third option is to reprint the PDF with the AA4 compatibility selected. I think there is maybe a forth option in AA8.

How do you send a fillable pdf for completion and signature? Thanks!

Goodmorning, I just saw that you can send a fillable pdf for signature and this will allow the person to fill out the contract, sign and email back. The one time I tried that it did not work. What are the steps, or a link to the directions, to do this?
Thanks so much,

Saving PDF for Web?

Hello!
I recently designed a 6-page annual report, meant to be disseminated as a PDF via web and e-mail. I am having trouble getting the PDF small enough and streamlined enough for this purpose. The file is under 4MB, but even on my system it is difficult to scroll through it, and graphics take a moment to appear or flash repeatedly on the screen.
The design is simple but includes many gradients and transparencies, which I assume is the root of the problem. I have flattened transparency and converted text to outlines. There are no images other than one vector logo. When saving as a PDF, I choose "smallest file size," with all options unticked except "save for fast web review." Lowering downsampling under "compression" made no difference. Even external sites like smallpdf.com would not make the file smaller. I'm not even sure changing the file size will ultimately solve the issue of the graphic elements flashing and taking time to properly appear.
Is there anything else I can do to make this file more accessible to a broad audience?
Thanks!

Outlining is considered very bad practice for many reasons (and cannot be undone).
True, but not in all cases...
But that is for a different conversation.
You could try using indesign.
I have found this will create a much more compact PDF then illustrator.
and is much better at dealing with text

Adding Tags in PDF for Tables and Figures

Please let me know how to add tags for Table and Figure in the PDF and also about setting up attributes for that

You can add tags to a PDF Document. If the PDF is untagged you can use the advanced, accessabilty, add tags to the document. If the PDF is already tagged or after you have run the add tags you can use the "touch up reading order" menu and then make the item you want to be a table a table etc....

We are wanting to see if the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop will make animated GIFs any smaller when you "save for web and devices" than previous versions like CS6 or CS5. Does anyone know? !

These articles may also provide some inspiration for further optimization:

Trying to get hold of my own course pdf for performance and tuning 11g, would oracle have list of classes i have taken?

Tyring to find my own course pdf for oracle performance and tuning 11g that I took thru Oracle.
I am studying for 1z0-064 currently using 10g perf tuning book.
Would Oracle have list of Oracle classes that i have taken.
If they do, is there any way to get hold of the pdf from the class that I took?
I realize that this is a stretch.

Roger,
This is a question that you'd need to contact Oracle University Support about - Oracle University Contact Information. They should be able to help you.

Save as pdf 1.7 and above in preflight - fixups missing?

Why is the highest version number just 1.6, in the list of available "Save as pdf" fixups?
I'm running CC, Acobat XI pro.
Is it just not recommended to use higher versions? If that's the case, I'll stick to 1.6.
The customer that I'm making this preflight for has previously used the "Make compatible with Acrobat 9.0 and later" setting in the PDF Optimizer (File / Save as Other / Optimized PDF...).
So it's really the equivalent way of doing that in a preflight, that I'm looking for.
Above: the fixups available in preflight, filtered by the word "save". Despite using Acobat 11, save as PDF 1.6 (Acrobat 7) is the newest version there.
Thanks,
Andreas

I don't have a good answer as to why. However, saving a file for backward compatibility if being used by a business is not a bad idea. AA7 is probably adequate with only a few folks using earlier versions of Acrobat or Reader. Unfortunately, backward compatibility can be a problem in some cases if newer features have been used that are lost in the backward compatibility. This is usually an issue with forms. So saving as AA7 compatibility should not normally be a problem, but the file should be checked carefully for all features to be sure it is what is wanted. You might also find saving in a newer version will compress a bit better, but that is an aspect you would have to try to check for sure.

Problem with saving pdf in CS5 and opening it in CS4

I have just got an Illustrator CS5 – my colleague’s works in CS4. We are always working directly in pdf-format.
If I make a pdf in CS5, my colleagues can’t open this pdf in Illustrator CS4.
I know that I can save to CS4 if I work in AI-format, but I would like to continue working in pdf.
Have any of your tried the same and can you help me with this? Thanks

Thank you for your reply :o)
It could have been so nice if it was possible to decide which version I would save my pdf in like it is possible in Autodesk products to save to an older version of there dwg-files.
All can read pdf but there are so few who can read AI. So If I want to work in CS5, I have to save in AI to my CS4 colleaques and in pdf to my pdf-reading customers.

Acrobat 9 standard - saving pdf as version 1.4

Hi,
just wanted to ask how can I save pdf documents as optimized version 1.4 (acrobat 5.0) documents, using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard?
I know that the pro version enables to save as...(and then choose the settings), use the optimizer, use batch processing or preflight, but none of these seems to be available in the standard version...what should I do?
Many thanks,
Yael

Thanks ☺
There is a way, found it yesterday…if you define a suitable profile (joboptions) through the distiller, and then print the file using adobe printer and this certain profile – you'll get a perfect pdf document ☺

Finding SQL Server licensing information for 2005 and above.

I can use SELECT serverproperty('LicenseType'), serverproperty('NumLicenses') on SQL Server 2000 but these server properties are no longer being returned in SQL Server 2005 and later. This information doesn't seem to be recorded in the registry for
SQL Server 2005 and later.
Is there an easy way to query or report licensing information for SQL Server 2005 onwards?
Thanks.

Hello,
Since SQL Server Version 2005 you have all license Information only on paper; so you have to lookup your papers to get the Information.

Pinch and Zoom PDFs for phones and tablets

Hi,
I can pinch and zoom PDF files on my phone / tablet.
However when doing this I would like the document to automatically reformat to fit the screen horizontally.
This would enable me to read a PDF enlarged to a text size comfortable to me AND only have to scroll up and down and not left and right.
I am partially sighted and the most frustrating thing when reading PDFs on a phone or tablet is the need to scroll right to carry on reading a page and then scroll back and then a little down and then right again and so on.
Other APPS such as BBC NEWS when enlarged with pinching the screen autonatically reformat to fit as many words as possible horizontally. When I have a file in word format this is also possible for example email attachments that are word files.
But PDFs appear to lack this very basic functionality.
Can you help and make this a possibility for the future if PDFs are currently limited? Or can you please inform me of a method to acheive this now?
Surely a bright spark at Adobe could make this happen and help all those people with short sightedness.
Thank you

This is generally not possible. Unless a PDF has been specifically created to be "accessible" and allows dynamic reformating, it will never change its appearance. The whole point of the PDF format is to retain appearance across different paltforms and devices, after all. It simply works different from HTML.

Saving PDF for reading offline...

OK I read a LOT of PDFs in my life. I thought the intelligent way would be to read them on the "magical iPad".
When I try to save a PDF and read it there seems to be no 'love'. It's hard to get subjects such as "gdb internals" in ebooks via Apple..
Any ideas?

Have you looked at "GoodReader" for the iPad? It's only 99¢ and it's rock solid. I've been using it on my iPod Touch for many months and it was the 1st app I downloaded for my iPad.
