Update PDF Version

Hello,
Our system is currently exporting PDF documents in PDF version PDF-1.3 through the program RSTXPDFT4. We would like to know if it is possible to update to newer versions and how.
Regards,
Ricardo Carreñ

You can't update the PDF version.
The agent JFMERGE on the server is what creates the PDF. The only way you can get it to create a more current version of PDF would be to upgrade your server to the current version of the software. IIRC you probably don't want to do that because version 5.3 was the last that included "filler" features.
The "driver" for the Designer software is a file named PDF.ICS located in the "config" folder whereever the software is installed. But it isn't really a driver. It contains certain information for the Designer software at design time and compile time (take a look at it using Notepad). In all likelihood the version I have for version 5.6 is a duplicate of yours.

  • IE9 doesn't reflect updated PDF file but instead reflects from cached version

    First, I apologise if this issue might be discussed/resolved somewhere, but if you have any solutions/ideas to what my issue might be, please help to share. And thank you in advance.
    We have been using/filling PDF forms to generate dynamic FDF data. The URL/path to the PDF file is set inside the text/data of the generated FDF. The PDF file with the FDF data are shown to the browser. But with IE9, the browser always reflects cached version of PDF file, and not the updated version.  This is working fine for years in IE6..IE8, the updated PDF file with the dynamic FDF data are shown correctly. But in IE9, the FDF data is dynamically updated but the PDF file still shows the old version, which I think is from the cache.
    In my testing, either I emptied the IE’s cache or set the Internet Option to check for newer versions of the page then it will reflects the updated PDF File. I tried Ctrl-F5 (to force refresh) too but no avail. I used Acrobat Reader 9 & 11, both having same problem, running on Windows 7.

    Hi Pat. Thanks for your reply. 
    Actually, I already been checking any IE9 options that might be different from IE8, and tried to change "Security" settings also but still can't get the updated PDF file. Maybe you have in mind where I can specifically check and try out?
    I have tried IE10, but also encounter the same problem. sigghhhh
    I have been using this for years but no problem, this PDF/FDF document application is developed/created using Acrobat Professional ver6 and FDFtoolkit.

  • IE 9.0 doesn't show updated PDF instead shows from cached version

    IE 9.0 always shows cached version of PDF file not updated one. Can i know what is the cause of this issue in IE. Actually same issue was occur in IE 8.0 but i've changed security setting to default. As a result, IE8.0 shows updated PDF not from cache version.
    But same workaround doesn't sort out this issue in IE 9.0.
    I'd appreciate to providing solution to this.

    I was having the same issue.  I don't know what CTRL+F5 is supposed to do, but it didn't seem to do anything for me.
    I finally saw the updated PDF in IE 9 when I opened Internet Options from the Gear/Tools icon, going to the General Tab and the Browsing History Section, clicking on the Settings Button and changing the radio button for "Check for newer versions of the page"
    to "Every Time I Visit the Webpage" instead of "Automatically."  Bummer, overall longer loading times.
    Since my colleagues were able to see the updated PDF in IE9 and I couldn't, it points to browser caching going on, not server caching. Deleting the Temporary Internet Files did not fix this issue.  I did not have this problem in IE8 and was automatically
    upgraded to IE9.
    Why doesn't deleting the Temporary Internet Files delete the cached version of the PDF?  Where is this cache?

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • PDF Version Not Updated

    I am using 'RenderPDF' service for generating a PDF.I have modified the Acrobat Version to 6.0 and PDF Verion to 1.6.
    When I open the generated PDF and check the properties,I still see the PDF version as 1.7(Acrobat 8.x)
    Why is it not getting updated.Is this a product bug.

    unless you have an older version of iBooks backed up on your computer there is no way to downgrade to a previous version. check your Trash Can and see if an older version is in there.
    also if your going to be doing a lot of work with PDFs I highly recommed GoodReader, it is much more robust when dealing with PDFs than iBooks.

  • Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

    Hello,
    I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

    I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
    ..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
    It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?

  • Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

    We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader.  Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it.  They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software.  The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted.  According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
    Thanks for the help!!
    Ken K. - 2191

    Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
    Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

  • Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
    Thank you,
    Louise.

  • Why does Preview save as PDF version 1.3 instead of version 1.7 sometimes?

    I've noticed something very strange in Mountain Lion when saving a downloaded PDF in Preview.  If I download a PDF to my downloads folder and open it in Preview and get info it says it's PDF version 1.7 and it's about 400 kb . If I then "save as" to my folder it saves it as PDF version 1.3 in a much smaller file save  82 kb.
    Why is this happening when I use "save as" rather than just dragging and dropping it from my downloads folder to another folder where it keeps it as version 1.7 and 400 kb ? 
    Why would Preview save it as version 1.3 instead of the latest version of PDF - very odd?
    Thanks

    Etresoft - that doesn't seem right - are you sure that Mac's only option is to save a PDF v. 1.3 when there are PDFs that are already at v. 1.7?
    I was sure, but I was wrong. Upon closer inspection, the "%PDF-1.3" you see in the PDF isn't the whole story. The actual version can be specified elsewhere. It seems Mavericks actually generates PDF version 1.4. Of course, that's not much difference, is it?
    Generally, I think Apple is aiming for cross-platform support with the widest audience instead of all the advanced features that Adobe wants to throw in. Apple views PDF as legacy print technology. If you need more than what Apple provides, you can always buy Acrobat.
    Here is an old marketing flyer from Adobe showing how much more you would get with Acrobat. It is from the Tiger era but you can see there is a whole lot that isn't implemented. But if you bought Acrobat, you would be in the position Apple doesn't want. You would create and send people PDF 1.7 files and they wouldn't be able to read them. What do you do? Tell them to buy Acrobat? It is a common theme here in Apple Support Communities whenever a new OS version arrives. People everywhere suddenly can't print, read PDFs, or do just about anything PDF related. That is because they had previously download Acrobat and it breaks with each OS update.

  • Preview doesn't open updated pdf on last viewed page

    Hello.
    I use a program called LaTex to create pdf's which I view in the Preview app. Aesthetically I prefer Preview and don't want to change pdf viewers.
    However, after changing to Yosemite recently, whenever I make a change in my file and then recompile it using LaTex, the resulting pdf reopens in Preview at the beginning of the file, which is most inconvenient if I'm doing lots of edits and want to look at how they appear in the resulting pdf. This is despite having selected the preference to open documents in Preview on the last viewed page (which does work ok for files that haven't been changed externally to Preview). Note also that before migrating to Yosemite, I didn't have this issue.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions on how to recover the "open on last page" functionality for updated pdf's in Preview?
    Thanks in advance.

    Please provide some details; operating system, Reader version, local or online files, ...

  • Acrobat Reader X cant's save "old" PDF versions

    I'm creating PDF documents in PDF Format 1.4 for compatibility reasons.
    The published documents will be opened in Acrobat Reader. If the user is using Acrobat reader X and saves the document it will be stored in PDF Version 1.5.
    These PDF 1.5 documents could not be managed in the following automated process steps.
    (That's why I'm creating PDF 1.4)
    How can I keep the PDF version saving a document in Acrobat READER X.
    Regards
    J.B.

    We know that Acrobat Pro or Standard can save version 1.4.
    We have more than 30.000 computer installations worldwide.
    This would be a good deal for adobe to install the acrobat product instead of the acrobat reader only for viewing pdf documents correctly ;-(((
    For security reasons and new features we are forced to update the acrobat reader version
    For compatibility reasons we should use old versions
    ==> There' somethind wrong in your version strategy.

  • HT1338 Update MacBook version 10.5? compatibility issues?

    If I update MacBook version 10.5 to a newer version, will I have compatibility issues with opening existing documents on my computer? Also, how can I convert files created in Pages to make them compatible with PC users?   When I save as a PDF, others can open it, but not manipulate it.

    Hi Tricia,
    Depends how far up you upgrade, are you thinking 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?
    For PDF editing, they/you'd need something like Adobe Acrobat Pro or PDF Pen, but not a great option in my mind, what else does Pages save in for choices?

  • Help files of CS5 in PDF versions

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?

    Update:
    Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.

  • I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

    Hi!
    I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
    I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
    Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
    By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Carlos.

    Hi,
    Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
    The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
    * I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
    * Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
    I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
    I'm getting mad...
