Adobe PDF Library DLE General Question

Has anyone here experience with the use of the Adobe PDF Library and/or Datalogics Enhancements (DLE) in a DOT.NET environment?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask questions here.
I will ask more specified questions if anybody knows somethings about.

Hi,
Since upgrading from Windows 95 to Widows XP Home Edition 18 months ago I have had problems opening PDF files. Using Windows 95 I could open PDF files in emails or contained in Web Sites.
I have Adobe Reader 6 on my hard drive and have downloaded the latest reader.
The problem I have opening PDF files shows up several different ways:
1. When I try to open an Acrobat Doc. on my hard drive I get a message insert Adobe Reader 6.0.1.disc which of course I do not have. If I then open my copy of Adobe Reader 6 and select file and find the same doc. on my hard drive it will open.
2. If I try to open an email with an attached PDF file I cannot open it but if I save it to my hard drive I can open it as above.
3. If I visit a web site that contains PDF files I cannot open them, all I get is a blank screen with a little box containing an x in the top L/H corner. This a particular problem as I am at present considering paying for/downloading some British Wills in PDF format and am unsure whether I will be able to save them to my hard drive and then open them OR whether I am wasting my money and will only get a blank screen.
When I open the Adobe 6 program on my hard drive I get a window showing available updates containing various updates including Adobe 7, when I select add Adobe 7 and click on update I get a message saying that updates will be loaded, etc, so I click O/K, I then get a message Download cannot be completed unable to access server.
HELP please.

  • Exception thrown while processing pdf file with composite fonts using adobe pdf library (v 9.1 )

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with processing composite fonts with adobe pdf library (v 9.1 ).
    While processing a pdf file having composite fonts, the pdf library is throwing an exception.
    The api which throwed exception is "PDPageAcquirePDEContent()". In my code i am calling PDDocGetNumPages(), PDDocAcquirePage() before this api is called, but all those functions suceeded. In the HANDLER, using the ASGetErrorString(), i got this exception error as  "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing."
    Now coming to the input file (which is also attached), this document have three different composite fonts ( details are given below )
    Font Name : TicketBold, Bold(Embedded)
    Font Type : Trueype (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : Times-Roman (Embedded)
    Font Type : Type 1 (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : TimesNewRomanPSMT (embedded)
    Font Type : TrueType(CID)
    Encoding: Identity-H
    If i convert all the composite fonts to outline using pitstop before processing, it works fine.
    So my question is that whether pdf library doesnt support composite fonts (which i dont think so ) or i need to do a special handling for these kinds of fonts in my application ( which i strongly belive ). If its the latter case, please let me know how to handle it in my application.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Leonard,
    Thanks for your reply. May i ask you which sample of the PDF Library you used to test my scenario.
    One question i would like to put to you beofre going for filing a formal issue to Adobe will be does this issue has anything to do with the initialization of the pdf library?
    What i meant is that when we call the PDFLInit() we pass a PDFLDataRec structure which is initialized by various path to font folders, cmap folders and unicode folders. Whether if i miss any of these folders will it cause this issue???
    thanks again

  • Queries on The Adobe PDF Library SDK

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to merge multiple PDF files to single PDF on AIX 5.3 Server. This is currently done using Itext and Java. But recently we noted that Itext doesn't compress the PDF significantly. Then we tried merging the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Writer(Adobe Standard 8) manually on Desktop (windows Vista). To our surprise the Merged PDF size was less.
    So we want to move on to Adobe SDK. Appreciate response on below queries:-
    1) Is it possible to use PDF Library SDK to Merge multiple PDF to single one via Java program.
    2) As the Program will be run in AIX 5.3 Server which is the version of PDF Library SDK I can use?
    3) Can I use PDF Library SDK on server?
    4) Is license required to create one target PDF from multiple source PDFs? I presume PDF Library SDK require license.
    5) How much is the cost involved in purchasing it. Do i have to buy whole suite as my requirement is only PDF writer?
    6) Can I get any support from Adobe for SDK related problems after the purchase of product.
    7) I have downloaded, Acrobat 9 SDK. Please suggest how to proceed for finding docs on PDF writer as folder looks ambiguous.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    Thanks lrosenth.
    Please help me with the below queries also,
    1) Advantage of LiveCycle ES over Adobe PDF Library?
    2) Can I use Adobe PDF Library on AIX system and Java?
    3) LiveCycle ES family of products :- Is it comes as single license, or can i purchase it based on my requirement of SDK (Only PDF Merge & Compresssion) ?
    4) LiveCycle ES family of products:- Will it work with Java and AIX.
    Depending on your reply i will raise license request for either LiveCycle ES / Adobe PDF Library .
    Best Regards,
    Anu

    The Adobe PDF Libarary is mainly licensed through DataLogics

    So contact them directly to find out if a demo license is available,
    and what the eventual licensing terms would be.

    Hi,
    I have a Acrobat Plugin component implemented using the Acrobat SDK and now I would like to replace this SDK with the
    Adobe PDF Library SDK.  Is this option would be possible? 
    Thanks & Regards,
    Abdul Rasheed

    Depending on what features of the SDK you have used, yes it is quite possible.
    You will need to license the PDFLibrary from Datalogics (http://www.datalogics.com).

  • Acrobat SDK Vs Adobe PDF Library

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me in deciding which one will be cost benificail for my following task:
    1.  I need to do the color separations in PDF file and handling the transparency in
        pdf elements.
    Thanks in advance...
    sabdul.

    Acrobat is a much more feature-rich application than the CreatePDF service. 
    CreatePDF is a web-based service that can be used for, as the name implies, creating PDF files from virtually any format.  You also get the ability to convert existing PDF files to Word, Excel, or Powerpoint files.
    The EULA for Acrobat states that you can install a single license of Acrobat on up to 2 computers.  The implication being that these are both your computers and that Acrobat is licensed to you, individually.
    The CreatePDF service can be accessed from virtually any computer that's hooked up to the internet.  Your subscription though is limited to your personal use.
    Please see the following pages for more information:

    Hi,
    I just want to report my experiences with hybrid extensions and CS Extension Builder 1.5 for use with InDesign CS 5.5. I can say that trying to build a hybrid extension brings a lot of frustration, because CS Extension Builder has many bugs and the documentation plus the examples from InDesign and Illustrator are only a hint one can use. At least I am happy that I must not use the hybrid extension in my project, because I could do it completely in C++.
    The "SDK Extension Toolkit" mentioned in the post seems to be what I have as "nativeapptoolkit", and it has not much in it except the PlugPlug library itself and a small sample for Photoshop.
    After several days with resolving severe problems with the help of the forum messages, I was in the end not able to receive the user defined events that were sent from the plugin to the extension, what is the preferred way of communicating between plugin and extension.
    It seems that there is still a lot of work to do for Adobe to deliver an environment that is easy to use. Another obstacle is that one has to use the installer created by CS Extension Builder to install both the plugin and the extension, what limiteds the customization of the installer.

  • Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?

    Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?
    For Example: There is one pdf file. Let us say xxx.pdf with 32 pages. I am interested in only in a topic present at 10th page. Can I extract this information and save it into another pdf file (means new pdf file)?

    Thanks Irosenth,
    I am actually interested in extract the page and create a new PDF with that page. But still there is a catch that on which basis the page needs to extract either on PAGE number OR on Bookmark basis.
    But here in this scenario assume I am looking for the PDF file, now I want to save only page 5. How can I extract page 5 automatically/programmatuically? Or in simple word how can I get the reference link of page 5?
    Here I am not getting clear picture that Do I need both SDK Adobe & Acrobat to achieve this requirement. And more over you have mentioned that SDK itself is free. But on Adobe side it is mentioned that it is available by license only with this I have another doubt: To work my desktop/system application with Adobe PDF library, this library needs to distribute with the application. So in this case will it be chargeable for each and every deployment.
    Could you please provide me the link from where I can download the SDK? So that I can do some excerise with SDK to figure out the exact flow of functionality to work with my application.

  • What are the best practices for average size of an Adobe PDF file on a Web Server to be downloaded?

    We know at a certain point, an extremely large file can be slow in downloading/accessing from a web site, and lessens the end-user's experience.  How large is too large? What is a good average or suggested size for Adobe PDF files in general?
    Thank you for any guidance.

    I'm sure it varies depending on one's opinion but we have a policy that they should be under 1- 1.5MB. This isn't always posible of course. Our PDF's are mostly informational and contain little or no graphics.
    I would say that it greatly depends on the PDF. If you get up over that size, you should do your best to optimize it for your users. Sometimes you can only do so much.

  • Where can I find CODE & DOCS for Acrobat PDF Library SDK?

    Hi,
    I had used Acrobat PDF SDK in the past but it didnt serve the purpose and we had to abort plan. THis time we are using PDF LIBRARY SDK instead. When can i find the code and documentation for it?
    The only page I see is http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library/
    So I want to study the object models, objects, functions etc, cant find it. Also is there a book you can suggest to study it. I sort of know the PDF-SDK wel, is the PDF-LIBRARY-SDK almost the same ?
    Pls direct me to the code and documentation, so I can start coding on it.

    >WHy dont you have non confusing names for the products, one is the free Acrobat PDF SDK
    No, it's the Acrobat SDK. This doesn't seem confusing at all: it's an
    SDK for automating/controlling Acrobat, just as the Windows SDK is a
    tool for working with Windows, the Photoshop SDK is a tool for working
    with Photoshop etc. "Free" isn't used in the title, because that would
    be confusing, and might suggest it can be deployed with the free Adobe
    Reader.
    Nevertheless, maybe something could improve it because there are a
    huge number of developer who assume it will work with the Reader or
    without Acrobat, despite its name.
    >and the other is Acrobat PDF LIBRARY SDK, right?
    The other is the Adobe PDF Library. It's a library from Adobe for
    working with PDF. Acrobat is not part of the name. It would be
    confusing if it were. Maybe it could be called the "non-Acrobat PDF
    Library".

  • Adobe Font Library Question

    I work for a large company and we just purchased the entire library of fonts from Adobe. We use both macs and pcs in our office. The fonts that were sent were "Open Type". I have a few questions:
    1. We had been using "Type 1". Has "Open Type" replaced all of type 1 fonts?
    2. There were several fonts that we used as type 1 that are not showing up in our Adobe Font library of type (Example: Helvetica Narrow). Does Adobe no longer support that font? Are there others available to purchase, or does the Adobe Font Folio CD cover all type that is available?
    Thanks,

    Great question - I'm trying to get the answer from Adobe right now. I will post back if I get a meaningful reply... from what I can discern not all type 1 fonts have been 1) converted to open type or 2) included in the Font Folio open type version (which is what I presume your company purchased)
    PS Just got reply while composing.... try emailing [address deleted by forum staff - see http://www.adobeforums.com/Typography/661 for list] for a list of the typefaces in the FontFolio package (reference doc-> FFOTEFontList.pdf) Seems to me if the font you now use isn't in the package you might be stuck with your old version.
    Here's a copy of the msg she forwarded me from her manager (JR) - Good luck!
    1) How many fonts WON"T be upgraded (meaning we'll have to keep the Postscript versions)
    [JR] Although Type 1 fonts built on multiple master (MM) technology were converted to OpenType, MM's main feature of allowing adjusting height/weight axes is not converted. Instead, customers will have to choose corresponding Opentype fonts that approximate the various weights; a conversion chart of MM-to-OT fonts should be posted at http://studio.adobe.com/type/ at some point soon, but if the customer wants a copy sooner, I have one.
    As far as Type 1 fonts the customer *should keep*, pi (symbol) fonts in Type 1 format may need to be retained, as some symbols cannot be accessed by some applications for current OpenType fonts. The customer can read more in the OpenType ReadMe, here: http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/OTReadMe.html#Anchor-Pi
    1a) From your msg below: What does this mean? Does this mean we have to keep all our PS fonts? - All converted Type 1 to OpenType fonts*
    [JR] Except for the instances mentioned above, customers should not need to retain Type 1 equivalents of OpenType fonts. All base characters accessible in the Type 1 versions should be accessible in OpenType, in all applications. There are some known limitations, however, discusses in the OpenType ReadMe, here, however, that should be noted: http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/OTReadMe.html#Anchor-22064
    2) How many fonts are actually NEW? (OPEN TYPE)
    [JR] There are 61 new fonts on FFOTE that were not on Font Folio 9.0. These include Brioso Pro, Montara Std, Moonglow Std, Organica Std and Arcana Std Manuscript.
    3) Can I get a list that answers the 2 above questions.
    [JR] This will be somewhat labor intensive, but I can supply some preliminary information, if you'd like.
    4) We also got a bunch of Image Club fonts when we got Font Folio... are those now part of the open type package? We've since lost the disc and are in the process of replacing it but I wonder if it is wasted effort if its - but that's another story
    [JR] Although Image Club was at one time an Adobe-held company, it's very difficult to know what fonts they had rights to sell at this point. Adobe may not have retained (and likely did not retain) the rights to every font in the Image Club library, once we divested the company. The best way to know is to compare their Image Club fonts against the complete FFOTE font list, attached.
    Hope this helps!

  • Adobe pdf converter question

    I am trying to print a document from a DOS window to the "Adobe PDF" printer that converts documents printed to PDF files. It is using the standard DOS print job called "Remote downlevel document". It shows this job in the print queue for a moment but then disappears with no usual prompt for save as file info. Any suggestions?

  • Adobe PDF 8.0 shows up in Add Printer Window

    According to some KB documents Apple changed some things in 10.6 regarding PDFs. This is from Adobe.
    "Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)'s enhanced security features prevent Adobe's PDF Printer from functioning as it did in previous versions. As a result Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1 removes the Adobe PDF Printer and adds a new Save as Adobe PDF function. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat will find that the Adobe PDF Printer is unusable when running on Snow Leopard."
    Ok, that's fine. It works for my needs but my question is this. "Adobe PDF 8.0" shows up in the "Add Printer" window in the System Prefs. From a house keeping perspective, I'd like to remove it but can't seem to find where it is. Searching is no use, nothing comes up. Where does it reside? Library Folder? System Folder?
    Thanks for the anticipated help.

    The first thing to remember when you're dealing with Adobe is never to believe anything Adobe tells you. Their support (if that's even an appropriate term) is either nonexistent or incompetent. Take a look at some of the Adobe forums to get a clearer idea of how low Adobe has sunk. BTW, their Better Business Rating is now a D.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/adobedotcom_feedback
    For many years, Adobe has gone their own way with their software installers. They will drop font files in unexpected places, add extraneous devices without your permission, and, as you have discovered, install printer drivers that can't be removed easily. Since Apple has tightened security with Snow Leopard, Adobe can no longer get away with fast and loose messing with your system. The problem here is entirely Adobe's because they won't play by the rules that every other software developer abides by. Don't believe them when they tell you that it's Apple's fault.
