Thanks. I learned some of this a minute ago talking to Acrobat support. I
kept asking the guy what features wouldn't be allowed if I chose Acrobat 3
v. 4. He seemed to think it was the same either way but if I chose Acrobat 4
it would force those with Reader 3.0 to upgrade. Thanks for the comment on
productivity features. I am guessing by that that you are referring to
full-version Acrobat features regarding changing the document, as opposed to
customers just viewing a pdf with Acrobat Reader. If I choose Acrobat 3
compatibility, then I don't prevent the customer using Reader from seeing
some of my document's features, I hope. I created the pdf in Acrobat 4. I
think you are saying that for just using the pdf for the purpose of being
read in Reader by a customer, it's ok to choose version 3 compatibility.
Choosing 4 apparently is more relevant for others who will be altering the
file in full Acrobat.
