pdf compatibility
(OP)
By "saving as pdf" from my copy of SW2006 SP3.0 I get pdf files compatible with Acrobat Reader 7.0 but NOT compatible with Adobe Acrobat 5.0. That is my company's an a lot other companies' (I am told) standard. Is there a way to set the level of compatibility when saving as pdf?
I can print to Acrobat Distiller 5.0 but the result is of a poor quality.

Also, I have never heard of a standard for Acrobat 5.0. It's like saying everyone uses a standard for MS Word 2002.
I suggest upgrading Acrobat. There is also a new app called Acrobat 3D, very cool.

RE: pdf compatibility
I don't know which program is creating the actual PDF. Whether it is SW or the PDF printer?

You got it right! Why spend money on upgrades when it's not necessary. We probably use just 10-25% of the Acrobat capabilities and features.

This fixes the acrobat version 5 problem.

RE: pdf compatibility
I'm confused, was there a true solution to this? By that I mean:
I have SW2006,
I don't have acrobat (full acrobat),
My customers and travelling colleagues have acrobat (reader only) 5. Unfortunately we can't (or by company policy don't) ask our customers to upgrade, but try to make life as easy as possible for them.
I take it CorBlimeyLimey's suggestion requires full acrobat.

Using SW2006 SP4.1, when we "Save as PDF" we get PDFs with the fonts as we use them (Century Gothic). But, if a supplier tries to read them and doesn't have that font on his system he gets an error message of:
Anyone know of a setting that can fix this?
