Hi All,

I've got an easy one for you (although if it was this easy Google would have given me a quick answer :)). I have a ton of 1.6 PDf's that need to be converted to 1.5 PDF's. Is there a feature in Acrobat Pro 8 that allows me to do this?? Is there a standalone tool available that will convert a folder of PDF's? I found one online but it couldn't handle 1.6 (only did 1.0 to 1.5). Many thanks for any ideas!!

With Pro you can use the PDF Optimer or the Batch Processing features. Of course will have to create a batch sequence and set the PDF Optimzer options for the output of the batch process. I would use the "Open Options" and not change anything for the command(s) to process.

Thanks sir...the Optimizer worked like a charm. I'm not familiar with the batch process but will definitely investigate that to help automate the whole process. If I get stuck after a while I'll write back again....thanks again!
