Acrobat 9.5.2 question.

Acrobat 9.5.2 and acrobat 7.0.0 are installed on the same computer. Acrobat 9.5.2 works perfectly.
Can Acrobat 7.0.0 be uninstalled without causing any problems?

You may find you have to do a repair after uninstalling a prior version. Sometimes some common files are deleted and have to be restored.

Back up and down to Acrobat Scripting. Bot Windows and MacIntosh Acrobat versions use the same JavaScript.
If you are using LIVECYCLE DESIGNER use their forums. The JavaScript syntax and objects are different in LIVECYCLE DESIGNER!

Acrobat Media Disk install question

My question is if there is any fundamental difference between the optical media contained in boxed products of Acrobat and the media kits that come with volume licensing agreements.
IE: Can you install a license using a volume license key with boxed product media.
If not why not? With product activation this would not make sense to me.

Historically the volume license versions have sometimes differered
from the retail versions, not only in packaging, but technically. For
example, with Terminal Server systems, you needed the Volume License
version of Acrobat Professional 7.0, as the retail version did not
work.

Acrobat Pro Extended feature questions

Hi,
I am testing Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended to evaluate usability within the company I work for. During my testing, I have run across some questions about Pro Extended functionality. I would appreciate any information or suggestions you may have regarding these questions. Thanks in advance!
1. Adobe 3D Reviewer in Pro Extended experiences a run time error and exits when attempting to delete a part (subassembly) from the model tree using the "delete" menu option on the right mouse context menu of the model tree item. This occurs in both .u3d files and .pdf files. Is this a known issue, limitation or is there a fix for attempting to delete parts from a model? (perhaps a problem on my installation?)
2. I have used 3D comments on a 3D model and they are very useful since they are "anchored" to particular locations on the part/assembly being commented on. Can the comment text box itself be resized? Can the font size used for the 3D comment be resized? Once created, can 3D comments be edited in either Pro Extended or 3D Reviewer?
3. The model tree in 3D models is useful for viewing/hiding parts of a 3D model. Do the plus signs (+) used to traverse the model tree have an "Expand All" option or must every + sign be clicked to traverse subassemblies (these can be numerous!). This may not be a supported feature. Is there any plan for it?
Thank you again and I appreciate your input.

Hi Jesse,
Here are some answers that should help in your evaluation:
1) i believe you are still using a beta version. this bug has been fixed in the released version. you can find a trial version at the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatproextended/tryout.html
2) yes the 3D comment box can be resized by clicking in the upper left corner and dragging the mouse or moved to a different location by clicking in the lower right corner and dragging the mouse.
yes you can change the size/color of the 3D comment text by going to Edit>Preferences, clicking on Measuring (3D) and changing the settings: Measure Feedback Size, 3D Measuring Line Color
once created, you cannot edit the 3D comment text anymore.
3) there is no Expand All option in Acrobat/Reader.

Acrobat 9 Pro trial questions

My organisation is thinking about upgrading from Acrobat 9 Standard to Pro, primarily to use LiveCycle to design and distribute some electronic forms. Prior to to buying the upgrade we'd like to test the both the functionality and uptake with our customers, but before I install the trial version I have a few questions:
Can I just install the trial onto a machine running Acrobat 9 standard? If so, what happens when the trail period expires? Can I just downgrade back to the standard version or is a complete reinstall required?
Will I be able to collect responses from forms designed using LiveCyle with just Acrobat 9 standard, or is the collection dependent on the Pro version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe

Okay, so I'll have to uninstall the standard version and install pro and once the trail period is up uninstall pro and reinstall standard.
What about collecting responses to forms created in pro using just standard? Is that possible?

Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
"3.2 Development Restrictions. You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned. That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application. And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat. I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's. So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application. The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks. I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
So, when you say:
"You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
Do you mean:
It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
And when you say:
"Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
Do you mean:
Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing? (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
Thanks for your input.

Acrobat for Android - License question

We are going to use acrobat on some Android devices connected only to corporate network (no Internet connection) and each device is going to be used by many users.
I have downloaded the APK file from Adobe, and published this as test to the devices using Mobile Device Management. We contacted Adobe support if this was OK license vice, but was asked to post the question here as they did not support the mobile versions...

What? Acrobat for Android, I don't think so.
There is an Adobe Reader for mobile devices only you can download for free.

Acrobat.exe product version question

Hi
Does anyone know of a link in Adobe where it shows every product version number for all acrobat.exe they have produced?
Basically i just want to be able to see which version of the file is a professional and standard version. (Based on the file product number).
eg. Acrobat.exe product number 8.1.0.2007051100 is a professional version.
Thanks
DM

I think there is a list, but the problem is it may vary based on the source and version as I recall a comment before. Anyway, the fastest way of getting the information is still probably to run the program, using one with Pro and one with Std. Sorry that I can't be more helpful, but the last time I saw a question about these numbers the answer was rather mixed and indicated it varied with the source of the product and several other factors. I don't really know more.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 Questions

Hi, there.
I'm new to this kind of programme. So, maybe I ask some strange questions.
1. I bought my notebook with Adobe Reader 7.0 installed. A week ago I had to convert a PDF document into a JPEG one. So, I downloaded a free programme to do it. But the result had a watermark on it that brought me to uninstall that programme. Today I've installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0. Can I uninstall my Adobe Reader 7.0?
2. I can't remember which printer the uninstalled free programme used. There are two printers now, i.e. Adobe PDF and PDF-File. Which one is used by Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 so that I can delete the other?
3. My friend told me a month ago that there's an apart setup, i.e. a so-called PDF_Printer. He realized this when his mate explored the installation CD. Is this a case that I have to know?
Thanks before for answering.
Cheers.

1. Yes but you "may" end up having to reinstall Acrobat. I believe they share some resources.
2. Adobe PDF is installed with Acrobat
3. Sounds like the PDF printer is already installed (see answer #2)

Creating an Acrobat Portfolio. Two Questions. Need Help??

I'm not in a work environment and I have no one to ask these questions of. I feel very foolish that I just discovered that I can make a portfolio of my work in Acrobat, but I did. I have Acrobat Pro 9.1. First question is about security. I will be sending the portfolio to people by email or on cd, to view only, and I don't want the viewer to have to deal with password issues. I don't want them to be able to print, or edit, or alter in any way. What do I need to do security-wise to the acrobat portfolio file to ensure they can only view my portfolio? Second, is saving the artwork as .jpg files the best way to create my portfolio. (Most of the originals is photoshop or illustrator) I don't want the finished portfolio size to be tooo huge...or would saving the files as .pdf's be better. The screen viewing quality seems to be the same. Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

Your way behind on your updates You need to update first to 9.1.1, then 9.1.2, then 9.1.3, anf finally to 9.2.0.
as for how to compress the sizes, if your intentions are to view on monitor, on the web create the individual PDF's then go to Optimizer and when window comes up go to section Graphic sizes, next set maximum dpi to no more than 150 . That's more than adequate. Save under a different name.
To make so no one can do anything with it, on each one creat a Layer with a 1% opacity, make it extend the ful length and width of the the pdf. Then Back to optimizer and, and choose layers, and have It to flatten the layers. This for all intents and purposes a Graphic.
As for how to combine into a Portfolo I haven't hadd experence do so. I would assume direction are in the help file. My guess is you woul click on create Portfolio and the select each PDF in order to add, or perhaps you might could even Drag and Drop. Either way is sepulation on my part. Perhaps Mike Kaslov could come in and help with that part.

Please Help me! Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable form questions!Desperate!!

Hello!
Hopefully can quickly answer these questions because I need to get this out by tomorow night :/ I am new to creating Adobe Acrobat Fillable forms, my yearbook adviser wanted to make the yearbook/journalism application a pdf fillable form so I went with the flow. Now I am having issues. I created it with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 if that helps
1. How do I get individual checks? they all check on the same answers, I need individuality lol. I know radio buttons is jus one chance so thats why I decided against them
2. How does one do a submit button exactly?
3. Somehow, I got to the step to distribute the forms but it says error licensing issue? Any ideas?
Iplease give all an any thoughts on my questions you have no idea how much I appreciate any help!

If using check boxes, you need to give each a different field name if you want them to behave independent of one another. You can create a group where at most on in the group can be selected, similar to a radio button group, by giving each the same field name but different export value.
For #2, it depends on the details of what you want to do. A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server or to initiate an email with the form data for the entire form attached to the email. If you want Reader users to be able to save the filled-in form and/or submit the entire filled-in PDF, the form has to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat.
For #3, please provide the exact error message.

Adobe Acrobat (OEM/Bundled?) questions

We have several older Dell PCs that had Adobe Acrobat 6-8 installed on them from Dell (I assume it's an OEM type license.) But reading through the EULAs, I can't find any mention of OEM or anything. Are these truly OEM copies? We received the actual Acrobat CDs with the computers. As we are beginning to decomission these older machines, we have two questions -
1. Can we install these copies of Acrobat on newer PCs, or are they truly OEM and stick with the machine that is now aging out and useless, and
2. Can we use these licenses as the basis for upgrade licenses to Acrobat X on new machines?
Thanks.

AFAIK there wouldn't be a difference in the number of computers you could install it on, or the ability to move from one system to another...
As for the second question, you're probably okay but only Adobe Customer Support could answer for sure.
Worst case, you could order the upgrades and then if they don't work out for some reason you could just return them under Adobe's 30-day refund policy.

How can I have users change textures in acrobat 3d and Reader question tia sal2

I'm trying to have users in Acrobat reader change textures of a box which I made in acrobat 3d
how can I do this?
Example
I made three textures for a box and I would like the user to have the ability to change the textures if they choose. How can I do this? Any examples?
Can I have a user select the textures or the layers from a photoshop file in Acrobat 3d?
Tia sal2

Yo ratboy,
You can do this. In order to map the images, they must be attached as a 3D resource. (There is a free plugin for this; search the forum for "Attach3DResource.api"). Once the images are attached, you can use the 3D Javascript API to map them to the meshes you desire.
For one doc, I attached 25 images in this manner. I then used the script below to create a bunch of empty meshes, and then apply the images to said meshes.
Hope this helps!
//3D javascript ========================================
//create 25 procedural meshes ======
var leftEdge = -180;
var horizontalOffset = leftEdge;
var verticalOffset = 0;
var myMesh = new Array();
var myVector = new Array();
for ( i=0; i<25; i++ ) { myMesh[i] = scene.createSquareMesh(64, 48, "myMesh" + i); myVector[i] = new Vector3( horizontalOffset, verticalOffset, 0 ); myMesh[i].transform.translateInPlace(myVector[i]); horizontalOffset += 74; if ( horizontalOffset > 180 )
horizontalOffset = leftEdge;
verticalOffset += 58;

Acrobat 9 Professional form question

I have created my 1st acrobat form and am having trouble getting the submit button I have set-up on the form to work.
We want to be able to post the form to our University's web site and have students fill it out when needed and then have it e-mail back the completed pdf file when the submit button is clicked.
I set up the submit button with a action Mouse up/ Submit a form and in the enter a url for this link field I have entered emailto:email@address but it does not work locally or when posted to the web. The form fields work but the submit button will not work!
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

To use it without the limit, you have to negotiate with Adobe on a price. On a university site it should be easy enough to have someone help a web submission (there are just too many potential problems with e-mail submission in such an environment) and have an FDF data file submitted (or XML). The file is easily opened in the form, giving you what you wanted them to save, and without the restrictions. You can also use some of the tools to add the data to a database for further use. Don't get locked into the e-mail and full form trap, but use the simpler way with the data submission to a web script (simpler in the long run).

Acrobat 9 Standard Install Question

I just got Acrobat 9 Standard. I want to add it onto 6 computers in a network and 1 personal computer. Will I be able to do this or are the capabilities set up where you can only install it onto one computer?

You can install it on as many computers as you want, but only 2 can be activated at the same time, and there's a limit on the number of deactivations.

Adobe acrobat 8.0 professional question

Hi.
I am implementing adobe IAC through powerbuilder for manipulating pdf files. This powerbuilder application has to be pushed to 'n' number of users. Do all the users need to have adobe acrobat professional 8.0 to successfully manipulate the pdf files through the application ?? we are providing the powerbuilder application as an msi file to the users.

Thanks.
Is there a way to package the adobe acrobat pro 8.0 with the powerbuilder application that I am working on instead of pushing the acrobat professional to the users separately ?
