Adobe SVG viewer discontinue support

Hello,
I was looking into Visual Composer and had to install adobe svg viewer to create a new model. So i googled for a download and came to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
Telling me:
Please note that Adobe has announced that it will discontinue support for Adobe SVG Viewer on January 1, 2008.
Why is visual composer using a control that will be discontinued within one year?

The last 3 minor patches (3.01, 3.02 and 3.03) to SVG were all fixes to potential security risk. The reason SAP should provide a replacement is because Adobe will stop supporting it Jan 1, 2008.
Since our company have not yet rolled out VC with SVG, I am not sure we want to take the risk of installing a component on all our users desktop that seems vulnerable and unsupported.

  • Adobe SVG Viewer de-support

    I'm a relative newbie on ApEx 2.2, so I apologize if this seems to be a silly question.
    From Adobe's website: (http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html)
    "Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1, 2007."
    Since my organization is extremely conscious of using products that are completely supported and available, what options to I have for an SVG plugin? We are primarily using IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526. What are the steps required to deinstall the Adobe viewer and install the alternative?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello,
    This is a a new decision from Adobe.
    Adobe to discontinue SVG Viewer support starting from January 2007
    We are currently researching alternatives, because Internet Explorer does not have native SVG rendering at the moment your best course of action is to stick with the Adobe SVG viewer. APEX outputs W3C standard SVG so any SVG viewer should be usable.

  • Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer

    Hello,
    I saw the following message on the Adobe website :
    "Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1, 2008."
    We are using Application Express 2.0.0.00.49 with SVG graphics and Internet Explorer 7.0, what would be a recommended alternative SVG viewer ? What does the Apex Team intend to do regarding this deadline?
    Thanks,
    Karina

    Hi Karina,
    Take a look at this old thread about the subject -
    Adobe to discontinue SVG Viewer support starting from January 2007
    Application Express 3.0 includes support for Flash Charts which you can use instead of SVG.
    Hope this helps,
    John.

  • Adobe SVG Viewer Alternative/Comparable Product

    What is the Alternative/Comparable Product for Adove SVG Viewer?

    Once Adobe will discontinue its SVG support at January 1, 2009 - SAP will be responsible for all support issues of this Viewer.
    The link to download the Adobe SVG Viewer will remain at the Adobe site until January 1, 2011.
    After Adobe removes the option to download the SVG Viewer, SAP will provide a solution so that Visual Composer will no longer require this viewer.
    I hope this helps.
    Best regards, Dafna

    in IE 7.x as well. I searched site today and could not find an answer,
    and blogs not they think it will not happen.

  • Where can i get Adobe SVG viewer

    Hi All,
    currently i am with SAP Netweaver EP7.0 WebApplication Server, I want to design the user interface by using visual composer.
    when I open the visual composer browser, i got an error like
    (Design board not shown, install the adobe SVG viewer).
    could anybody help me to rectify this, where can i get the Adobe SVG viewer and how can i install.

    you have to install on client side .
    Before you log on to and work with VC story board, you should check that your VC client machine meets the following software requirements.
    1. IE 6.0 SP1 or higher
    2. Microsoft XML Parser 4.0
    3.Adobe SVG viewer 3.0 or higher
    4. adobe flash pug-in

  • Adobe SVG Viewer Detection

    Is there any way for Adobe SVG Viewer Detection?
    What I would like to do is to make a region that contains a Adobe SVG Viewer not to display if it has not been installed on the browser currently in use. What would this Display Condition statement look like?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Viewer is free. You can download and install it from here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/

  • Adobe svg viewer required for MapViewer 10.1.2 preview ?

    Good morning.
    When using the mapinit.jsp demo with the preview of MapViewer 10.1.2 I found that the svg file would not display. I clicked on the Adobe SVG viewer icon in the lower left corner of the jsp, downloaded and installed the viewer, then found that the svg file displays properly. I couldn't find the Adobe SVG viewer in the list of software prerequisites for MapViewer. Did I miss something in MapViewer 10.1.2 setup ? Is Adobe SVG viewer required ? Are there other options ?
    Thanks.
    alan

    Yes Adobe SVG viewer is required to view the svg maps.
    Currently there is no other option.

  • How to handle SGV Charts if Adobe SVG Viewer is not supported

    Hi All,
    As per the following adobe link, Adobe 'll no longer be supporting SVG Viewer from January 1,2008.
    http://www.adobe.com/svg/eol.html
    So, just wondering whether any APEX application which uses SGV Viewer extensibly for charts , is going to be affected or not. If yes, then could you please let me know how APEX team is planning to handle this.
    Thanks & Regards-

  • SVG Viewer replacement

    Hello
    Does anybody know if SAP has provided a solution yet to the Visual Composer Design time client's requirement for SVG Viewer?  The original text is below from one of their communications.
    Thanks
    A prerequisite for the Visual Composer design-time client is the installation of the Adobe SVG Viewer. Adobe has announced that it plans to discontinue support for this viewer as of January 1, 2008. Until that time, customers and partners modeling applications with Visual Composer should continue using the viewer as they have done until now. During the course of 2007, SAP will provide a solution so that Visual Composer will no longer require this viewer.

    Waiting to see if 7.1 CE will still require SVG viewer

  • Change SVG Viewer?

    Hi
    Having a bit trouble with Adobe SVG viewer on speed and some rendering of legend titles in line chart, I would like to try out other SVG viewers.
    How to do that?
    I have downloaded and installed for instance AfterCAD, deinstalled Adobe, removed the call to the plugins.js which checks for SVG Viewer presence, but nothing happens when I try to render the charts?
    Any ideas? Can it be done? Or is Adobe 'hardcoded' in Apex?
    Best regards Jesper

    Never got it to work with 3.0 ( i imply windows, maybe on linux it works as advertised).
    With Beta 6.0 it works at least ( i personally prefer the native SVG support however).
    There is a little outdated ( but i think still valid ) discussion on this thema.
