 JustaGuy: This supports only PDF versions 1.0 - 1.5. Every PDF I tried it with was version 1.6, so this tool was useless. [2009-06-06 08:06]

 MickeyDee: Depends on GDIPLUS.DLL - Website also has a "Buy Online" button with a "$79 to get full version" tag. I haven't run this program long enough to find if there are any 'gotchas' but hope to discover if this is a keeper or not, soon. [2009-09-24 15:40]

 MickeyDee: The version of TweakPDF is now 1.53 and it does cover PDF versions from 1.0 through to 1.7 - I was able to use TweakPDF to tweak a PDF file down to a earlier version and was able to open that PDF on an earlier copy of Acrobat Reader, running on an older computer. So in that sense, I found this utility to be useful. [2009-09-25 02:39]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
