How can I tell what version of Acrobat or Reader was last used to save a PDF file? My users are using fillable forms from grants.gov. We want them to use Adobe Reader 8.1.3 to fill these forms, but some accidentally use the Pro version of Acrobat. They need this to make PDFs from Word & other apps, but Pro will corrupt the fillable forms.

When I open a saved form in Reader 8.1.3 and click File > Properties it says Acrobat 7.x even though I know it was saved with 8.1.3.

Is there a way to know which version number and type (Reader or Pro) last saved a PDF?

If you look under Document Properties you will find what created the PDF and what version the PDF is.

But it won't tell you what was used last. It just gives the original information.

It also won't differentiate between Pro and Standard and of course won't mention Reader at all.
