importing unrecognized version of a pdf

[laurijay]

I have QuarkXpress 6.1 for Windows. Occasionally I run into a pdf that will not import into Quark. Quarks "Get Picture/pdf" section is greyed out and has "unrecognized version" in the background. Has anyone run into this problem and if so, why is it doing it. I can open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat 6 and there is nothing in the document properties that would indicate it is not useable or it can not be altered.

Thanks
Lauri

Sometimes I hit that problem.
I open the PDF then do a save as and it comes in fine.
I think it may have something to do with the PDF Filter extension version.

Try dumbing down the PDF: Open in Acrobat 6 and choose 'reduce file size' from the File menu. Save for Acrobat version 4. Try to place in Quark.

Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish?

Also I forgot to add it's probably because the PDF filter for Quark 4 only supports PDF 1.3
and you are working with PDF 1.5.
Which is what Jimoblak said.
