PDFs readable by Adobe reader 7.1

Hi all, using TCS2 on Windows 7, 64 bit. I am on FM v. 9.0p255

When I create a PDF of my FM docs/books, is there a setting I need to set to make sure the resulting PDFs are viewable in Adobe 7.1?  This is per X request who does not use a recent version of Adobe to read PDFs and works on very locked-down PCs.  My question applies to both Save As and Print, (as PDFs) since I sometimes do both, so I'd rather know the whole story before I get started...

Thanks,

Adriana

    All versions of Distiller that I'm familiar with have a Compatibility

    setting that determines how backward compatible the generated PDF is.

    The exact location of the control varies a bit from version to

    version, but it is there.

    Just make sure you have it set 7 and you're good for your requester.

    And if they can read the file, they can print it from whatever version

    they're using.

    What I don't know is whether, by selecting an antique version for

    compatibility, you lose any current version features / functions.

    Thanks Art. I opened Distiller and found the compatibility settings - perfect. If anyone knows re. losing features/functions, please comment.

    Cheers,
