About: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software is the free global standard for reliably viewing, printing, and commenting on PDF documents. And now, it's connected to the Adobe Document Cloud − making it easier than ever to work across computers and mobile devices.

We're happy to report that Acrobat DC passed every test for reliability, performance, and user experience when installed on Intel-based systems running Microsoft® Windows® 10.

Courts and other regulatory agencies typically require firms which eFile to provide a specific version of PDF—most often PDF 1.4, the Acrobat 5 format.

Other times, you may need to change the version of a PDF you have to ensure compatibility with a client or colleague using an older version of Adobe Acrobat.

PDF Versions and Backwards Compatibility

Certain PDF documents may only be viewed in newer versions of Acrobat.

For example, if you send a PDF Package to a client using Acrobat 6, they will be prompted to download the latest version of the free Adobe Reader to view it.

The following chart is not comprehensive. It is intended to cover the specific instances a typical legal user may encounter.

Acrobat 8PDF 1.7- Reader Enabled Forms - PDF Packages - PDF 1.7 XML Forms
Acrobat 7PDF 1.6- Reader Enabled Review - Security Envelopes - XML Forms - Embedded multimedia including 3D content - Bookmark Compression
Acrobat 6PDF 1.5- Linked multimedia
Acrobat 5PDF 1.4- OCR Text Layer

Saving to a Previous PDF Version using 'Reduce File Size'

This option is available in both Acrobat Standard and Professional.

  1. Choose Document—> Reduce File Size
  1. Choose the PDF compatibility required
  2. Click OK

What 'Reduce File Size' actually does is a bit of a mystery. Documents containing color images generally show the most reduction in file size.

Premiere elements 64 bit. Typical legal documents such as scanned black and white documents or simple text-only documents generated from word processing will show little difference in file size. In fact, they may grow slightly.

Saving to a Previous PDF Version using the PDF Optimizer

The PDF Optimizer is a feature of Acrobat Professional only. Using the PDF Optimizer you can:

  • Change PDF version compatibility

  • Selectively compress images to reduce the size of scanned images

  • Unembed fonts

  • Flatten Form fields

  • Remove bookmarks

  • Remove an embedded search index

  • Discard metadata

You can select and carry out multiple operations or simply change the version.

Follow these steps to reduce file size using the PDF Optimizer in Acrobat 8:

  1. Choose Advanced—> PDF Optimizer…

    — or —

    File—Save as…
    Choose 'Adobe PDF Files, Optimized' from the Type menu
    Click the Settings button

  2. Set the PDF Compatibility

  3. Click OK

Changing PDF Versions in Batch

Adobe Acrobat Dc Windows 10 Compatibility 64-bit

The PDF Optimizer may be used with the Batch Processing feature of Acrobat Professional.

You could, for example, change the PDF version of hundreds of files at a time.

Adobe reader 8 0. See my article on Batch OCR to learn how.

Additional Discussion

Acrobat cannot make every PDF readable by an earlier version, especially those that contain embedded multimedia objects. If this is the case, use the PDF Optimizer to remove embedded media.

Adobe Acrobat Dc Windows 10 Compatibility 10

As a general practice, I don't recommend saving to Acrobat 5 unless required by a regulatory office or court.

Install Adobe Acrobat Windows 10

Since older, full versions of Acrobat can co-exist on system with the latest Adobe Reader, 'Open' compatibility isn't much of an issue. Reader is free, and that's a compelling reason to install it.
