Remove the compatibility with older Versions of Adobe Acrobat

I'm trying to scan hundreds of documents as PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I'm on Mac, the latest version of El Capitan and find that Preview 8.1, the PDF Viewer integrated for OS X, has difficulties to open a portion of my scanned documents. Interestingly, the only ones who have color in them. Black and white analysis open very well. I think it's an Apple problem, and not what I'm here for.

Anyway, I went back to PDF it wasn't opening and Acrobat to remove compatibility with earlier versions of Acrobat. I kept compatibility with "Acrobat 4.0 and later versions. After that the file opened without problem in the preview. I noticed that the quality of the new PDF degraded slightly when I removed the compatibility. I guess that's because Acrobat must perform a new rendering of the PDF file.

Is there a way I can create a PDF file to a JPEG file that is only compatible with versions 4.0 and later? I rather do pretty early in my workflow, and then go back and remove the compatibility and degrade image quality.

Thank you!

Hi Link648099,

First thing, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Mac El Capitan.

The PDF created in Acrobat 9 shouldn't be compatible with version 4, please check the levers of the compatibility of the https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/understanding-pdf-compatibility-levels PDF

Kind regards

  • Save on the older version of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC

    Someone knows how to save an older version of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.  I try to help someone who has Adobe Acrobat Standard DC on their pc and when they transfer the file to his boss his Adobe do not see.  The boss has an older version of Adobe.  I watched SAVE AS and I even looked under reduce the size of file for the other version, but nothing.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    In the general case, a PDF file generated with the current version of Adobe applications, including Acrobat Pro DC, InDesign CC, CC of Illustrator, Photoshop CC, etc. should be easily open, visible and printable versions of Acrobat or Reader going back to Acrobat 8 or 9 at least and in most cases, even Acrobat or Reader 6!

    Only if you use the special security / encryption functionality might you encounter any backward compatibility issues.

    Also note that even the latest versions of many viewers no Adobe PDF can not completely and correctly supports PDF versions of common or even Acrobat!

    I created a dynamic form with adobe life cycle 9. As users try to use the form, they get this error:

    Is there a way to make the form compatible with older versions of adobe?

    Thank you.

    In the menuFichier-> properties of form as the default tab, choose the Version target of Adobe Reader that you expect users to the minimum version.

    If the feature is not compatible with the selected version, then the warnings will be displayed on the report tab. You can access it by going to the menu of the window-> report.

  • Compatibility with older versions of workstation

    can I open in the latest version of workstation the vmx file in the directory of the virtual machines of an older version of workstation for example version 9

    With a more recent VMware Workstation, you can open virtual machines created on old VMware Workstation without problem, but you will not be able to open a virtual machine created on a newer VMware Workstation in an old VMware Workstation if you have created the virtual machine using a new version of virtual hardware that is not compatible with the old VMware Worksation.

  • Nexus 1000v VSM compatibility with older versions of VEM?

    Hello everyone.

    I would like to upgrade our Nexus 1000v VSM 4.2 (1) SV1 (5.1) to 4.2 (1) SV2(2.1a) because we are heading of ESXi 5.0 update 3 to 5.5 ESXi in the near future. I was not able to find a list of compatibility for the new version when it comes to versions VEM, I was wondering if the new VSM supports older versions VEM, we are running, so I must not be upgraded all at once. I know that it supports two versions of our ESXi.

    Best regards

    Pete

    You found documentation, transfer of the station from 1.5 to latest code is supported in a VSM perspective.  Which is not documented is the small one on the MEC.  In general, the VSM is backward compatible with the old VEM (to a degree, the degree of which is not published).  Although it is not documented (AFAIK), verbal comprehension is that MEC can be a version or two behind, but you should try to minimize the time that you run in this configuration.

    If you plan to run mixed versions VEM when getting your upgraded hosts (totally fine that's how I do mine), it is better to move to this enhanced version of VEM as you upgrade the hypervisor.  Since you go ESXi 5.0 5.5, you create an ISO that contains the Cisco VIBs, your favorite driver async (if any), and the image of ESXi 5.5 all grouped together so the upgrade for a given host is all of a sudden.  You probably already have this cold technique, but the links generated by the Cisco tool below will show you how to proceed.  It also gives some URLS handy to share with each person performing functions on this upgrade.  Here is the link:

    Nexus 1000V and ESX upgrade utility

    PS - the new thing takes clones your VSMs offline.  Even if they are fairly easy to recover, having a real pure clone will save some sauce secret that otherwise you may lose in a failure scenario.  Just turn off a VSM, then right click and clone.  Turn on again this MSM and failover pair HA, then take to the bottom of it and get a clone of it.  So as a security measure, this upgrade, get your clones currently out of the current 1.5 VSMs, then some time after your upgrade some clones offline, saved from the new version.

  • Prompting to update the drivers with older versions of HP

    My HP Support Assistant gave me a notice this morning that I had updates that should be installed.  I opened it and tried to install the recommended updates as I normally would without having to pay a lot of attention to what the updates were.  When I received a message 'Complete', I assumed that all installed successfully.  However, the Support assistant always recommend to install the same 4 updates.

    I then ran that Windows update to see if it would pick up the same recommended driver updates, and recommended update Realtek... that I then downloaded and installed successfully. (screenshot below)

    I rebooted the PC and returned to the HP Support Assistant to check updates again see if the Realtek update would be absent.  But he was always showing as an update with the same other 3.  I tried to download/install each update individually.  Updates failed, and the Synaptics Touchpad driver gave me a warning that says «a newer version is installed...» ', so that updating technically has not failed, but support assistant tells me that it needs to be updated.  See screenshots.

    Also note that I checked that my version of HP Support Assistant is the latest version available.

    I thought that my next step would be to try the HP support website to see if the updates can be installed successfully there.  I ran the scan of web on my laptop and got the following results.  Note that the update Realtek is here for a reason, while it still appear in the support Wizard

    If the release date is correct for each recommended, and then for some reason any update I'm being invited to install older versions of the driver.  I tried to install each update anyway.  When you start the extraction of the file for each update, a guest would come in telling me that the files already existed (because I have probably installed these versions at the time where they were released).  I chose to replace files anyway.

    I received a warning while doing the update Broadcom that says "OS not supported", so that the update failed.  And even once when installing the Synaptics Touchpad driver I got a warning that «a newer version is installed...» ', which suggests that, in fact, I was trying to install an older version of the driver.

    Intel to date seemed to work, but it still shows as requiring updates when I perform another web analysis.

    I hope someone can tell me what is happening.

    Hi Boss1022,

    Even if you have a recent version of HP Support Assistant, I would recommend probably uninstall and reinstall the latest version with a new download of;

    http://h18021.www1.HP.com/helpandsupport/HP-support-Assistant.html

    What can happen, is that the HPSA has lost track of what drivers and updates are installed and which are the most common recommended, probably due to corruption in the databases it uses.  Uninstalling and reinstalling is the simplest solution.  You can find instructions to uninstall HPSA down Troubleshooting HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).

    If this does not work, after back and we can get more involved solutions.
