Acrobat Versions and PDF Standards

Report · Apr 22, 2009

I need a mapping of which versions of Adobe Acrobat correspond to which versions of the PDF specification. I need this to assist our customer's standards registry/product registry correlation. I do not need anything older that Acrobat 6.FYI, the current PDF standard is Version 1.7.

Thanks

I discovered that the Acrobat 9 FAQ had a section on Standards, so I have the answer for Acrobat 9 (PDF 1.7). Does anyone have the FAQs for Adobe 6, 7 or 8?

Thanks - Bill
