Has anyone been successful in creating a PDF/A using Adobe 5? If so how was it done?
Thanks

Three things
1) Acrobat 5 can NOT create PDF/A compliant files. It was released YEARS before PDF/A was.
2) Adobe stopped supporting Acrobat 5 almost 10 years ago!
3) Acrobat 5 won't work on any current OS.
I think it's time for that upgrade :).

1) According to this wikipedia-page, PDF/A was introduced in Acrobat 5.
2) Acrobat 5 was released in 2001. Acrobat 6 was released in 2003. It doesn't sound right that Adobe would stop supporting a product before the next one is released...

Just me nattering here; but, the Wiki states that PDF/A-1 (ISO 19005-1) was published by ISO on October 1, 2005.
The article states that PDF/A-1 was *based on* PDF Reference Version 1.4 (which is the version promulgated with Acrobat 5).
Note that this does not mean PDF/A-1 came about at the same time as Acrobat 5 nor was it introduced in Acrobat 5.
.
Adobe provides 5 years of support from the year of release for an Acrobat version.
So:
Acrobat 5 - 2001 to 2006
Acrobat 6 - 2003 to 2008
Acrobat 7 - 2004 to 2009
Acrobat 8 - 2006 to 2011
Acrobat 9 - 2008 to 2013
Acrobat X - 2010 to 2015
.
PDF/A-1 was published by ISO (not Adobe) during the two year active commercial release period of Acrobat 7 (which ended with the commercial release of Acrobat 8).
.
Leonard's comment #1 states the facts (& given that Leonard has been hip deep in PDF related ISO Standards since they started he has some "gravatis" in that arena (as does Jim King)).
.
Aside from the Wiki another useful resource on Acrobat versions is:

I want to create and sell Electronics books from my personal publishing site. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I want it to fit any eBook format. Possible?
In principle it should be possible, though. Have you tried the help files?
