 General: when do you give up? Or DO you?
Or...is it *fair* to give up? For example, I have a website, on which the client insists that PDFs be included. (Incidentally, the PDFs could be more appropriately be handled as one-page HTML files!)

Some of the client's customers have ancient releases of Acrobat, and gripe about being unable to handle the PDF files (which I create using OOo...). The client's customers refuse to download a more recent Acrobat.

The client's customers gripe at the client. The client gripes at me.

I'm not a rich man. I can't afford Adobe PDF creation software...

How would YOU proceed? I'm looking for GENERAL answers, not necessarily specifics, please, as I suspect similar cases may arise in the future. Thank you all, in advance, very much for your kind advice!

Acrobat Pro is currently at v7. Reader is at v8.1.

Problems tend to arise when security is used in the PDF file, otherwise earlier versions of reader should be OK with files created by later versions (unless some specific features or fonts are used).

PS - get OpenOffice: this is free software that is near-equivalent to MS Office. It also includes as standard Save As PDF functionality.
