Can't find Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Standard.

I just bought and installed Acrobat X Standard, but cannot find the Save As > Optimized PDF option.  I have seen and used this option before in Acrobat X Pro, and it was one of the reasons I bought Acrobat for myself.  Adobe's own website says that this option is available in Acrobat X Standard.  My File > Save As menu has options to save as PDF, Reduced Size PDF, Certified PDF, Reader Extended PDF, and the other format options but no "Optimized PDF" option.

 

Does anyone know what might be going on here?  I've tried to look through Acrobat's Preferences to see if I missed something that would enable this option, but I haven't seen anything.  Can this be fixed?  I didn't fork over a bunch of money to have one of the few options I wanted not be available.  If not, is this grounds enough for me to get a refund?  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    I don't have Standard, but I don't see PDF Optimizer mentioned in it's help doc, other than the page you linked to. Other sources I found indicate it's only available with Pro. I don't know about a refund, but you can try contacting Adobe customer service to see what they'll do.

    It is one of the features that is not included in Std. Unfortunately, Optimize and Reduce file size are not listed in the product comparison guide. Std also is missing Designer if you had been using that for forms, though forms are easily created directly in Acrobat.

    Hi Snackrobat,

     

    You must contact Adobe Customer Service and ask for an Upgraded version from Standard to Professional. This would cost you less in comparison of buying a new copy for Acrobat X Pro.

     

    Regards,
