Can Acrobat 3.0 read 5.0 files?

[KMcDonald]

One of our users has to send an Acrobat 5.0 PDF file to a government agency that only has Acrobat 3.0. Will the recipient be able to read the file? We don't have 3.0 to be able to test it. . . Any help would be appreciated.

It's not likely because of backward compatibility issues. Acrobat 5 has the ability to save "down" one version (v4) but not down 2 versions. BUT, the latest Acrobat Reader is free on the Adobe site. Have your client update their reader (if they can).
