Save PDF as version 1.2?

[Cassetti]

I have this script to automate saving a file as a pdf and then embedding it into a field for each record (records are service contracts)

the problem is, my boss seems to believe that adobe acrobat 4.0 is what version we should use for everything since it is so old everyone will have it.

FMP 8 only allows you to save it as acrobat 5.0 or 6.0 compatible.

Is there any way to either:

A ) get a patch or get a free batch program to put into script to convert it to compatible with acrobat 4.0 automaticall

or

B ) find a website that proves that upgrading to version 5.0 of acrobat will not suddenly become a HUGE burden on our customers because most people in the world use programs compatible with acrobat 5.0 or higher?

Keep in mind that there is less than 10 employees.

"Upgrading" is not a huge problem for us
