Setting the default Compatibility level

Question

We password secure our pdfs before loading them into Sitecore. In Sitecore the docs get parsed so that text in the pdf can be found when searching our website. When the pdf is secured with Compatibility of "Acrobat X and later" the pdf is not parsable.

When secured with setting of Acrobat 7.0 and later, it can be parsed.

Can I set the default compatibility to by Acrobat 7.0 and later?

Hi @Scott33477958hp1o,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

In case you are still looking for a solution, you can do the same through Acrobat Distiller. Follow the steps:

To set the default security compatibility to Acrobat 7 or later in Adobe Acrobat, open the "Distiller" settings, navigate to "Edit Adobe PDF Settings," and under "Compatibility," select "Acrobat 7 (and later)" as your preferred level; this ensures that any PDF created will be compatible with Acrobat 7 and newer versions.

Hope this helps.
