Does this exist...

I have the full Acrobat 4.05 for reading and printing (to PDF). I have seen this problem before, so i installed FoxIt (which read your PDF correctly). Acrobat is the default.

I don't have "Acrobat" problems... I don't have "Acrobat !

Open Office does very nicely creating pdf's and Ghostview displays them.

v4.05 can't cope with some features from v7.1, though, IIRC, I did reduce the scan to v4 compatibility before posting. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine.      Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Try retrieving again...

It definitely has been made v4 compatible now. ...Jim Thompson

That one worked. Thanks. (The old one didn't.)

Yes, I have a way old version Adobe whatever it's called, the free one.

These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer\'s.  I hate spam.

I'll try to be more careful with my postings and keep them v4 compatible (a nice "save as" feature of v7). ...Jim Thompson

Mine is not allowing it, Jim. The settings button is grayed out.

Is there something in 'Preferences' that I need to set or unset as the case may be? I'd like to also save PDF's with backwards compatibility.

Thanks,

Bill

So it's a 'Reduce File Size' feature, not of 'Save As'. ;-)

Guess I was doing it all along. LOL

Thank you,

4.05 is too old, IMHO. 5 or better at a minimum (I have 5 installed on my ancient (ca. 2003) Win2K machine and there are some things it won't open, but not too many yet). I think most people saving PDFs for the most general distribution try to accomodate 5.x.

BTW, at the other side of the spectrum, apparently the I7 hyperthreading works really, really well on LTSPICE. Can't wait to pair that up with Win7 64 bit.

Foxit reads my pdf's fine, and openoffice is sufficient for me to produce them.

I am _so_ happy for you ;-) ...Jim Thompson

 Obama seems to need to take the term "bully pulpit" literally :-(

Windows only allows one program to be associated with a file extension. DUH!

Imagine that!

At any time with most files, one can right click on the file and select "Open with" to select a different program for association or with which to run it.

Using Windows XP SP3, Internet Explorer 8, and Adobe Reader 9.0, Jim's PDF displays with no obvious problems.

Worked very nicely. With one exception, "upgraded" programs create files that are incompatible with older versions of the "same" program; it is rare that a program allows one to create files fit for other versions, as well as rare that the newer version even reads (some of the) olcer version files. The exception is PKZIP / Winzip; so far it seems that it makes no difference in reading or writing (between an old DOS ver 2.04g Feb 1993 and WinZip 8.1 SR-2 2001?). Compatible across the time spectrum and use spectrum; incredible!

Excel 2007 does a fine job of making backward compatible, as well as co-compatible workbooks.

Also, if one makes a new, 2k7 file and attempts to open it with 2k3, it will prompt you for the DL of the compatibility code so that 2k3 can open

2k7 files.

Not to mention you can save from Word 2k7 in Word97-2k3 format.

As for Acrobat, I'm using 7 and you can make version 4 compatible files and considering (free) Acrobat Reader 6 was the last Windows98 version that's a fair amount of backwards compatibility.

I couldn't remember off hand so I pulled out an old Compaq Contura notebook with WFW 3.11 and the last Acrobat Reader for that was 3. But it read the posted PDF just fine anyway.

What a blast from the past. 8 meg RAM, 4 bit color... woohoo! and sound (such as it is) faked by software modulating the beep speaker. Calmira installed to make it 'look like' (sorta) Windows95.

As I stated above, it has no problem creating a backward compatible workbook.

I am using the latest and greatest, like 9 or 10 or whatever. I do not wait around like the Win 95 first release Luddite dopes do.

WFW 3.11 was a great little ship. I sailed it for years on many a Sea.

I had a 286 the drove a mono card and a 720x640 Hi Res Ball 12 Volt Green mono CRT for my first box. It started out with a 10MB Tandon original Full Ht HD and 2MB RAM and no math co-processor. I was lucky to get it for $200.

I paid nearly $600 for my first 16MB block of RAM for a 386 I had.

I paid nearly $600 for my first SCSI 1GB Full Ht HD, which I referred to as my "Black Hole" at the time. My how those times have changed.

At least the files are bigger for a reason. The images are higher resolution :-) Now, don't go reading into this statement... ;-)
