Can a PDF be an app?

1. Can you offer fillable pdf forms as an iphone or an ipad app? Can you store the PDF on the phone?
2.. If you store a PDF in the cloud...can somone access and display the PDF on their phone?
3. Does Adobe have a ist of third party developers we can contract with to create fillable pdf forms?
If we set up the signature field as just a field on the form, the user can touch this field and electronically sign the form.
So we get the power of electronic signatures on a PDF form.
thanks
kml

What if we did it this way:
1.   collect the data fields for the form on an ipad or ipphone
2.   collect the signature as another data field
3.   create an xml word doc......integrate the data fields into the word doc
4.   convert the word doc to a pdf
5.   store the pdf in the cloud
6.   the user can access the pdf from his phone... he could share access with others.
does this work?

klm: 1) The Adobe Reader on mobile devices currently doesn't support form filling or JavaScript so while you can store and view PDF files on a number of phones, you can't easily fill out the forms using the Adobe products. There ar ethird party tools that allow you to add comments but I haven't seen anything that will turn the PDF into an APP. 2) Yes - I use DropBox and it works great. 3) You might check out AcrobatUsers.com instead 4) Since forms don't work on the mobile versions, signatures don't either.

Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.

Download PDF file from APP server!

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.
Thanks.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.
   ( it will download / upload any kind of file from app server)
2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.

Taking a long time to export a report to PDF in web app

Hi,
I downloaded CR for Eclipse 2.0 to integrate a "Create PDF Report" option into our web application. The original .rpt files were created using CR 2008. I used the sample online code to do this:
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
// .. set report params here..
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
I was able to successfully run this and generate a PDF output file, however the report takes over 2 minutes to complete, whether there were only 2 records or 75 records!
From CR 2008 on a Windows machine, the export to PDF option takes about 2 - 3 seconds for the exact same report.
Our web servers are very powerful Linux blade servers from Dell.
Why is there such a delay? Does it have to do with the licensed version versus the free version? Or is this just a limitation of being in a web app?
-Mike

We created a version of the same test report that only generates two PDF pages.It has cut the time down, but it still takes it about 16 seconds to open the .rpt file and another 6 seconds to export to PDF and write it out to a file. [Total of about 22 seconds.]
When we run the same report on CR2008 on a Windows laptop, it takes less than 1 second to load the .rpt file, under 1 second to generate the report and another 1 second to generate the PDF. [Total under 3 seconds.]
Our question still remains: Why is there a considerable time difference between CR2008 and CR4Eclipse [3 secs vs 22 secs] and is there anything we can do on the web app side to decrease the report output time?
Here are the "highlights" from the verbose logs (the full logs were about 32K). I tried showing where there were obvious time gaps. If there is a big time gap between statements separated by ".... " it was just doing it's regular work (evaluating functions, etc). If you provide me an email address I can send the complete logs as an attachment.

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)

HT201210 Is there any way I can update my iPod's system so that I can read pdf files?

I want to download an app where I can read pdf files, but there are no apps for my operating system it seems like.

Open single page e-mailed pdf in another app.

I like to e-mail .pdfs to myself for opening in other apps, such as FileApp where I keep relevant documents for reference, or GoodNotes, where I may do a mark up on them. This works fine for multi-page pdfs, but where I e-mail a single page pdf, it just shows up in the e-mail, instead of as an attachment that can be opened in another app. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Same problem here. TAP and HOLD does not show the option to OPen Wth... Another App.
Could you please confirm you don't have this problem?
Just email yourself a one-page PDF file with text in it, and see if you can open it in another app such as iBooks.

Include PDF file in app

I can't open my Adobe app. [iOS]

I can't open my Adobe app. It crashes when I try and I've restarted my iPad many times, still doesn't work.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with Acrobat DC for iOS.
First, I'd recommend backing up the PDF documents that are locally stored on your iPad so that you won't lose them.
Please take a look at the following FAQ document and back up using iTunes.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Please note that iOS will erase all of the app data (including your PDF documents) if you uninstall the app.
Once you make sure that your PDF documents are successfully backed up on your computer, would you try the following to see if Acrobat DC stops crashing?
Uninstall Acrobat DC.
Install Acrobat DC.
Transfer your PDF documents from your computer to your iPad.
Please let us know if it works for you. Thank you.

I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?

As Bern510 says, you'll need to recreate certificates that are valid. I suggest following our step-by-step publishing guide, which walks through how to obtain certificates correctly.
