Adobe API compatibility question

Hi,
We have written a custom application that uses Adobe objects like AcroExch.App, AcroExch.PDDoc, Acrobat.CAcroApp, Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc for acessing/generating PDF documents using Adobe Standard 9 version.
We are in the process of upgrading Adobe version to Standard 10 or Professional 10.
We would like to understand, after the Adobe upgrade, would there be any impact to our program that uses the above Adobe objects.Are these Adobe objects / API is compatible with any later version from Standard 9. Please advise.
Thanks,
Ashok

Should be no change.

Just installed Forte as a Simple Server on a Digital UNIX (v4.0d) box (being
a VMSbot it was much easier than I thought). We want to use it to interface
with an existing web client. The Forte part is to provide us a scalable
access path to Oracle DBs on the VMS machine; already running Forte.
I'm having trouble finding media that contains C++ v5.4.-006 for the Unix
box. Does anyone know of/has used higher versions of C++ without too much
drama? How about v5.7 or even v6.1? We will be using extensive C++
interfacing to existing web pages!
NB: The current web system client is compiled using EGCS 2.91.66.

Adobe Connect and Articulate Storyline Compatibility Question

Is Storyline compatible with Adobe Connect? Are there any issues I need to be aware of? We will have content and quizzes, both need to be tracked.

Articulate has documentation on using Storyline in Connect: http://en-uk.articulate.com/support/storyline/how-to-track-articulate-content-in-adobe-con nect

Adobe Creative Suite Question [Photoshop File Compatibility]

I have recently received a ten year old macbook with the OS snow leopard, according to the apple store associate using CS3 or CS4 would run better on this particular macbook. would I be able to open a file created in CS3 or CS4 on a computer that runs CS6? Would I be able to open a file made in CS6 in the CS3 or CS4?

That all depends on what you mean by "a file"
Industry standard DATA files such as JPG pictures are independent of program version
Proprietary PROJECT files such as a Premiere Pro video project file are very much dependent on program version
Also, program specific data files such as an InDesign file are dependent on program version, since newer programs often have features not supported in older versions
So... just what do you mean by a file?

Platform compatibility question(s) from new user!

I'm confused.
I picked up Java a few days ago, with the intention of converting a long-standing JavaScript project that I have to run as an applet. I downloaded and installed the Java2 SDK (1.4) and associated runtime environment, and a simple but good IDE (JCreator 2).... and I'm happily developing applets to my heart's content. Cool language, by the way.
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their browsers complain that they can't find the class. Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly made the assumption that it's because I've installed the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
I REALLY want to use 1.4 to develop if I can. My JavaScript project that I'm converting is heavily dependant upon regular expression operations, and it would be a pity not to have them available - but platform compatibility is a must; this is a commercial project.
I'm missing something here, and I need to ask some really fundemental questions.
1. I was assuming that most browsers over 4.0 would support "Java2". Just what IS their level of support, by default. I hate new plug-ins, and the Java ones arent trivial!
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4) would work on the same virtual machine release, and that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?
3. If I have to develop for maximum compatibility with earlier browsers, can I do this with 1.4 and some compiler switch, or do I have to download older SDKs?
4. If the worst comes to the worst, is there a class out there that handles regular expression "style" operations that will work on older releases of the language.
Sorry that there's a fair bit there to answer, but since I can't find this info ANYWHERE on the web, I guess I won't be the only newbie facing such issues.
Peter McKean.

just a few points to add to the other answer :
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on

the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
Yeah the Java support in IE is whack. The m$ JVM never got past java 1.1.4 compatability for various reasons. So unless you want users to install the java 2 pluggins, you have to code applets with the java 1.1 api. You can still do this with a java 2 sdk - you just have to watch the parts of the api you use.
>>
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4)

that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to
existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?Yeah you are wrong ;) . When do do:
import java.<package>.<class>
you are telling the compiler where to find the classes you are about to re-use in your code. You are not including them in your final compiled class files. So when the program runs, it looks for the classes in the classpath. If you use classes that don't exist in an older jvm, the program won't run in that jvm. (Same as if a C or C++ program is dynamically linked to dlls (in Win32) or shared objects on unix - they need to be on the system that the program is executed on.)
hope this helps...

Adobe Distiller licensing question

Hi All,
This is probably common question, but I need to determine the current licensing model for Adobe Distiller server. I realize that this product is simply a piece of paper that allows me to build server applications that can generate PDF files on the server using the Distiller API. As I recall, to adhere to the license you could either buy the Adobe Distiller Server license OR you could be in compliance if you simply had Acrobat Standard on each client workstation that caused the server application to generate a PDF on the server. Is that correct? Thanks - Jeff

http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
Section 2.3 of the Acrobat EULA covers server use. The Distiller Server EULA is under the "Server Products" section.

API compatibility

Question for both player developers and plug-in developers:
Looking into the future beyond OSMF 1.0, what are your expectations for backward compatibility with the APIs from one version of OSMF to the next?
As development progresses from version 0.1 up to 1.0, the customer feedback we've been getting has been great, and it's directly influenced some our choices on features and design, and consequently the APIs. We plan to use the moniker "version 1.0" to signal that the APIs are set and that we'll support them for some period of time. How long after 1.0 do you need those APIs to keep working? Can the 1.0 APIs change for 2.0, or do they need to continue to work in 2.0? How about 3.0?
Given how fast things move with online video and related services, it would make development of future versions of the framework much easier if we can place less of an emphasis on enduring backward compatibility. The challenge is finding the right balance between a blank slate and permanent backwards compatibility.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Sumner Paine, product manager

I would expect backwards compatibility for anything that is developed for the same FlashPlayer version.
If OSMF 3.0 comes out while FlashPlayer 10.1 is still the current version of the player, I would expect backwards compatibility.
I would only accept/understand backwards compatibility breaking if new features of the FlashPlayer exists which the new version of OSMF needs to take into account.

Adobe Viewer Compatibility with Android Mobiles... anyone know which?

We've created a digital magazine using Adobe DPS and deployed it online here: http://www.thinkingtackle.korda.co.uk/landing.html (click VIEW under TTD3) to launch the online verison rather than App versions
It should redirect to the live mag in Adobe Content Viewer...
Works fine on Mac, PC, iOS.... BUT no joy on the plethora of mobiles we've tried it on... Samsung Galaxy S3 and various others...
Keen to understand the limitations or extent of Adobe Content Viewer's compatibility with Andriod Mobiles/Tablets
Can anyone advise?
Best
Nick@Code

Hi Bob,
Adobe Content Viewer from Google Play (May 1, 2013) is both compatible and works fine on my Nexus 4 phone. We understand that adding the Android phone compatibility might cause poor app rating as the buttons/controls will be hard to tap on the smaller screens. But publisher could add these limitations to the app description. So my question is if support for Android phones could be added to the custom viewer as an optional feature checkbox, please.
Thank you,
Gennady

Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue

Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .

I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement.

What are the forensic limitations of Metadata & Exif Data+ Adobe Photoshop 3 question; e.g. Metadata

I have some questions regarding metadata, and exif data on digital cameras and its forensic limitations in Adobe photoshop 3;
For instance; After a picture is taken and has a metadata/exif digital stamp of the "picture being taken day" under what circumstances can that "picture being taken day" be changed?
Does the picture being taken day change when you import it into adobe photoshop 3 and add a caption?
Does it change only when the picture is edited, to perhaps add a white sidebar that says "family photo" or whatever?
Under what circumstances does the exif/metadata digital time stamp of the "picture being taken day" change?
Also, is it possible to change the picture being taken day on a photograph in adobe photoshop 3 manually?
Thanks-
Phil

I guess it would be easier to give you an example. The above picture shows the exif data as 9.11.2001. How is this possible if this is a 911 victim? In the top metadata, it says Adobe photoshop 3. I assume this is the program it was last edited in? Or was adobe software used exclusively in cameras back then perhaps? I am not sure, I just know I have many questions I really want answers to. Was the exif data changed perhaps in the above photo on 9.11.2001 to add that white sidebar, which says (Family photo) ?? Click the image below to see the screenshot of what I am looking at, this way we are on the same page or picture so to speak.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciatted...
Thanks,
Phil

Adobe AIR installation questions

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of distributing an application with Adobe AIR and I've a few questions about the Adobe AIR installation process. Just to give you some background on the situation I'm in - if a user wants to use the service I'm working on, they need to install a binary application on their computer. We've a web site which communicates with this binary application. As the user as to install the binary application to begin with, we're beginning to look at AIR as a possible alternative to distributing the web content through a browser.
1. Adobe AIR installation requests that the user enters their computer password. Is there any way to retrieve this password from a separate installer? The binary application that we ask our users to install asks the user for their password and it would be nice to not ask the user to enter their password twice. Are there any possibilities for sharing this password between our binary application and the Adobe AIR installer?
2. If I sign up as a re-distributer of AIR, is the Adobe EULA which is displayed at the start of installation still necessary? I'm already displaying one EULA (with the binary application) and I'd prefer not to have to display two.
3. I'm assuming that there is no way to specify the directory into which I'd like the Adobe AIR runtime to be placed - can you confirm that Adobe AIR is always installed in the /Applications folder on mac and c:/Program Files on Windows?
This question goes out to Adobe AIR developers - If you have distributed your application with Adobe AIR, have you ever stumbled across the situation where a user has uninstalled the Adobe AIR runtime (either intentionally or unintentionally) and you are now left in a situation where a user cannot access your services because Adobe AIR is not installed on their computer. If so, are you aware of any usable fallbacks other than to tell customers that they have to have Adobe AIR installed to run the application?
Thanks
Sean

1: We are working on a method to use a local socket to communicate with an installed c# application on the users machine. The situation is very similar, however we store credentials encrypted and accessible to the installed binary. If those credentials do not exist the AIR app requests the user to input them and they are sent to the binary. These credentials are stored either per session, daily or forever per the user's preferences. We use this method to let AIR be the front end it was designed to be and leave all the heavy lifting OS / processor wise to the binary. Unsure if this would help but you can read a bit more on using local sockets here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7caf. html
2: The EULA is still required as the End User has to accept it. If there's a way around that, I'm not aware.
3: The installation directory can be changed by the user unless you are performing silent installs (available when you sign a redistribution agreement). I don't recommend relying on the installation directory never changing.
Try using nativePath to determine where your program location is: (javascript)
//application directory
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
//application storage directory
var file = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
4: I've faced the problem where the AIR runtime is not available, but we always fall back on the badge there. For what it's worth it's pretty handy at detecting requirements and getting them to the user.
hope that helps

Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

Hey,
Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.
And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.

SP06 API Connection Questions

Hello API Experts,
I have a few questions related to connections to MDM using the API presented with SP06. SP06 introduced new options for connections via classes in mdm.sessions package. Which connection types are preferred for a java web services environment, using classes in mdm.sessions package or mdm.net package? What is the reasoning behind your choice?
When I create a UserSessionContext I notice that 2 connections are created ( I watch the connections in MDM Console as I'm debugging my java app ). When I want to get rid of these connections I do a releaseSessions( ) and destroySessions( ) call. The connections disappear from MDM console (that's good) but on my java console window in eclipse I get two messages printed from the mdm.logging.MdmLogger class:
SEVERE: Can not find session for release. Session context: '< my connection info >'
SEVERE: Can not find session for destroy. Session context: '< my connection info >'
Is this really a problem since the connections seem to disappear from the Console?
Finally, what are the differences between releaseSessions and destroySessions and would one ever want to releaseSessions and not destroySessions with the intention of picking them up again later and if so, how would you pick them up again at that later time or would the API just hand them back to you when you later ask for a new __SessionContext?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
The new classes introduced in the com.sap.mdm.session package were introduced in order to make session creation less painful for the software developer. It is up to you, though to choose how you wish to create a connection to an MDM server.
The function releaseSession marks a s session as available for destruction. DestroySession immediately calls for destruction of the session. So you should use one of these functions, but not both of them.
Regards,
Walter

MDM API Password questions...

Hi Guru's
I have some questions for which i am struggling to get the answeres on how MDM handles passwords using MDM's API's
1. Is there a COM API for management of MDM users? COM documentation that we have does not mention anything.
2. To avoid using any server side code, is it possible to remotely call the IF_MDM_ADMIN bapi through the RFC interface?
Regards
Vikrant M Kelkar..

Hi! What about using ABAP method "create_user":
CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_admin->create_user
EXPORTING
is_user_information = ls_user
IMPORTING
ev_new_user_id = lv_new_user.
ls_user holds user name and passw.
Refer to ABAP MDM API
