I have, as Im sure do many of you, a decent collection of amiga manuals, magazines, etc. in .pdf format. Now I actually quite like pdfs, having the original source "structure" in tact, and the ability to zoom in and so on I find handy. The problem is however trying to use them on a 68k amiga.
APDF I do like, but it only supports older style pdfs which renders it pretty unusable for a large percentage of the scans out there.

Now can anyone tell me please, if there's any software out there to convert pdfs to an older pdf standard? (sorry, I dont really know the internals of pdf files enough to be overly concise here, I just know that APF uses the 1.3 standard, whereas 1.5 is pretty much essential these days).
Failing that can anyone tell me please if there's any offline alternatives to read more modern pdfs on AmigaOS (68k/os3.x)?

Also, I can anyone tell me if Amigaguide files can contain images please? Id be interested in converting a few of my more regularly used documents into a format I can use on my a1200 (pdfs are nice, but a bit heavy for my a1200).

Thanks in advance.
I remember that with the last Amiga guides from OS 3.9 you can link images with a guide, these images can to be jpg, iff, and it is show with the datatypes, becasuse the AmigaGuide program calls to Multiview.

Other option is convert the PDF last version to one document and with some pdf convert the document to old pdf format.
