Confused about how Adobe Reader& Adobe acrobat work together?

I have had Adobe Reader for some time--used to have Acrobat too, but when it became outdated-- a "pc-"fixer -upper" convinced me I needed Adobe Flash Player installed. This did nothing for me. I have an older computer--do not watch movies or even many DVD's or videos on my computer and don't download songs either. I would like to understand how all these Adobe products work together and what they can do for me. I do use and read and print PDF files from various organizations and would like to be able to combine  or merge these if it will take up less space. I am not very computer literate so I need some help. Thanks for any suggestions from readers & probably I need to watch the instructional aids.

Adobe Reader is purely a PDF viewer, with the ability to fill forms or add comments.
Adobe Acrobat can create, edit, merge PDF files.  Of course it can also be used to only view PDF files.
Older versions of Acrobat (9 and earlier) did not work well together with Adobe Reader; Acrobat X and XI work perfectly well with Reader X and XI.
Regarding your idea "to combine  or merge these if it will take up less space"; I don't think doing this will result in less space usage.

  • I need information on how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up

    Hey folks,
    believe it or not, but I have been searching a lot on the web already on how to find information how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up.
    Most information that I found is old and seems to be valid only for older versions of Creative suite. Here in the company we use CS5.5 and will switch to CS6 soon.
    I already downloaded Adobe Drive 3 and installed it on my Mac. Unfortunately I don't know what to do next? Do I need Adobe CQ to make it work? Or can I use it with an existing SVN infrastructure, that we have here? Actually I would like to access the SVN via Adobe Bridge. But after the installation of Adobe Drive my Bridge CS5.5 is crashing while starting up, and I didn't find out how to fix this again.
    Actually I just found the manual for Adobe Drive 3 and read it. Seems to be easy in case its working. But it's not in my case, as mentioned above.
    Any idea what could be the problem?

    Thanks,
    in the meantime I managed to re-setup Adobe Drive 3 again. Bridge CS5.1 is still crashing (i have a log-file with a detailed error-report, if somebody knows how to extract information from this.
    At least now I can start Drive as a standalone application.
    So now my main question is how to connect Drive 3 to our subversion infrastructure in the company. Does anybody have information on this?

  • Confused about how to display a rectangle on JFrame

    i'm a little confused about how to display a rectangle on a jframe.
    I know there is a class called Rectangle. is there a way to use it to display a rectangle on a JFrame? i couldn't find a way to do that.
    i found a way to display a rectangle in the internet:
    CODE:
    public class RectangleFrame extends JFrame {
        public RectangleFrame() {
            super("My Rectangle");
            setSize(300,400);
            setLocation(300,300);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            JButton button = new JButton("Button");
            JPanel panel = new JPanel();
            panel.add(button);
            getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            getContentPane().add(new Rect(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
            getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);       
            setVisible(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            new RectangleFrame();
    public class Rect extends JComponent {
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            g.drawRect(50,50,200,200);
    }is this the only way to do that? isn't there an easier way? do i have to write this new class Rect i wrote?
    i don't really know how this Rect class i wrote works. could someone explain?
    then another question: can i put a rectangle on a JPanel or do i have to add it directly onto the ContentPane as i did above?
    i hope everything i asked is clear enough.
    thanks for your effort.

    Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500.  How do I make them work together?

    To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

  • What versions of Adobe Acrobat work with Lion

    I would like to purchase Adobe Acrobat Standard for may Mac with Lion installed.  It's not clear from the Adobe web site which versions of Acrobat are compatibile with Mac and Lion.  I would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    This article from Adobe http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html (scroll down to "Acrobat Family") says the plug-in doesn't work with Safari 5.1, but the app itself works with OS 10.7 and 10.6. I don't use Acrobat but this implies that the latest version should work with Lion. Maybe an email to them will get an answer for sure.

  • Confused about how to use paint()

    Hi, I have been working really hard to try to get the following program to work but I am really confused on how to use paint(). I do not have anyone to ask so I thought this forum could help. Anyways, here is my problem...
    I am trying to recursively figure out the Sierpinski fractal. I cannot figure out if my math works or not because I do not know how to call the paint() recursively to draw my triangles.
    Please have a look at the following code. Thank you!
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;
    public class DrawTriangle extends Frame {
      Point a = new Point(20,480),
            b = new Point(350,40),
            c = new Point(680,480),
            halfB,
            halfC,
            halfB2,
            halfC2,
            halfC3;
      int width;

    thanks jsalonen, your tip let me start working on the math to correct it.
    I have a new problem now. My math is correct but I am having problems with the recursion. I can draw only the top , left , or right triangles. I cannot get them all to work together. See code and comments below.
    Any ideas why I cant call all three of the paint()s toegther and have them work?

  • Do Adobe Palettepanel and Adobe Air work together?

    Hallo!
    when I am working with Flex and the Adobe Flash Player everything is fine. I even can use the Adobe Paltettepanel to integrate my Flex applications in Adobe Indesign.
    But when I want to use the Palletepanel in an Adobe AIR application nothing works.
    My question:
    Do Adobe Palettepanel and Air work together?
    Thanks,

    I'll say for the moment no it doesn't, it has been requested and 
    probably in the future it'll work with AIR.

  • Confusion about how JSP application compile

    Hi,
    I am develop a web application using JSP. The application includes many .jsp files and many JavaBeans files in order to accomplish multiple tasks. I feel confused that how all this jsp file and JavaBeans compile together. For say, if the user wants to create a new record, which is only one of all tasks, I assume that when user submit this request, the related jsp files and javaBeans instead of all jsp files and javaBeans, will load into memory and compile together into a servlet class, then according to the form data to do whatever they need to do to create a new record. When a request regarding another task come, another group of related jsp file and JavaBeans will compile to another servlet class to do the job and so on and so forth. Am I right about how they work? Or are all jsp files and javaBeans compile together instead of grouped by task into one servlet class? Which one is true?
    Sincerely, jmling

    I dunno - that statement seems misleading, if not just plain wrong.
    JSP text files can be potentially grouped together - ie you use the include directive to include one JSP file inside another. Basically its just a "paste this file inside the first one before translating into a servlet".
    But anything apart from <%@ include %> directives are not bundled together at this phase.
    This is the way I see it happening (simplified)
    - Process <%@include%> directives to get one large .jsp file
    - The jsp file itself is translated into a servlet .java file
    - The .java file is compiled into a class file
    - The class file is run, and it generates HTML which is sent to the client
    As part of this generation it may invoke other JSP pages through jsp:include / jsp:forward commands.
    These are treated seperately - is you translate/compile each requested JSP page seperately.
    All that the JSP page produces at the end of the day is an HTML file to send to the client.
    If there is an image on the page, the generated HTML includes a tag for the image, but the JSP doesn't send the image itself (just like a static web page can contain an image)
    In summary, the phrase in your quote "the files that make up the application are all translated together..." is misleading. The translation only applies to the particular jsp file requested, and any that it includes with the include directive.
    Cheers,
    evnafets

    Hi Alois,
    If I'm not mistaking than Patch Panel was designed for the Flex developers and I don't think it has support for AIR.

  • Satellite P305-s8842: How do the 2 HDDs work together?

    I have the Satellite P305-s8842, it comes with dual 200 gig HDD's.
    I was wondering how they work together. The main one is almost full; when it fills all the way up will it automatically start filling the second HDD?
    Right now there are only two files on the second one they are a temp folder and a msdia80.dll file.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Anyway, I don't really understand how it's supposed to be used. Please don't flame, I am pretty proficient with computers but this is the first one that I've had that has two hdd's. Just trying to understand how they work together. Thanks.

  • I'm a little confused about the Adobe Site of the Day submission.

    Can you only submit if built with Muse?  Where can you submit an already built side with code?

    The sites in the www.adobekb.com Site Of The Day gallery are Muse sites. Many contain HTML embed code for maps, Twitter feeds, forms, videos, analytics, etc., which can be simply copied/pasted into Muse Design view. Some contain animations created and placed/imported from Edge Animate or Flash Pro.
    We do our best to screen the site of the day winners to exclude sites that were achieved by editing the HTML generated by Muse after export, since that workflow requires hand coding which is not what Muse is about. Sites that include copied/pasted embed code or small snippets of code inserted in the <head> section of Page Properties within Muse are fine.
    A couple caveats
    1) We recently removed one site that relied on hand editing after export from Muse, which either did not contain that code when the award was granted, or we missed it.
    2) Authors of sites are likely to continue to evolve their designs after the award is granted, so the site linked to may no longer be the exact site/code that was awarded Site Of The Day honors.
    If you encounter a site in the gallery and are puzzled by how it was created with Muse, ask about it here. I'm sure the community would be happy to respond and the discussion would be educational for all.
