This is a stupid question, since I know very little about PDF, but just asking from a normal file save/save as topic. If you were to "change" something under 5.0, and then save it, not save as(since that seems to not be available), would it then change the version number to 1.4? This would then allow you to re-open it in 5.0, change back whatever you changed to begin with, and then use save-as?

Look at the Document Info... (Menu File --> Document Properties --> Summary...).
It is very likely that they have been touched with Acrobat 6 (they would say "1.5" for the PDF Version entry.
There is a "time bomb" bug in Acrobat 5 which prevents Save as when the PDF version is newer than what it itself does handle (and that would be version 1.4).
There is no "clean" workaround, unless you either are the creator of the document, or you are not "faint at heart".
In the first case, you would use the PDF Optimizer in Acrobat 6 Pro to create a "proper" PDF version 1.4 document; in the second case you would use a hex editor or something like that to change the PDF version number from 1.5 to 1.4 (but in this case, you better know what you are doing...).
Hope, this can help.

What would be the reason for not having the "Save As" option available. Some of my pdf files only allow me to "Save". I'm using Acrobat 5.0
