Develop with Adobe Acrobat for Acrobat Reader users

Hello everyone!
Maybe it should be obvious, but I didn't get it even after reading the documentation.
I know that I can't highlight text or extract text developing for C# having only Acrobat Reader installed.
I also know that it should be possible with Adobe Acrobat installed. However, I am not sure about this:
Should the users of my application also have Adobe Acrobat installed or Acrobat Reader will suffice? Again, I ONLY want my application to search and highlight text programmatically, I do not want to create new PDFs or edit existing ones.
Thanks in advance!

Your users will also require Adobe Acrobat.

How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
I have several questions related to that.
1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library. It took some work, but the test worked well...

Dear Anubha,
I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
The version is 8.1.0.
This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned. I get an
"Activation Number" instead.

Thank you so much for sharing

How can I get a ai. file? I've made a drawing for a company who would like to use it on a shirt. But they need the ai file. I made it with adobe illustrator for ipad.

Unfortunately logging into your account won't help, because then I don't have access to Illustrator.
I was just trying around a little if you could share it with me, but unfortunately sharing doesn't seem to work with Draw files. You could try and find someone near you who also has an iPad and Illustrator and then try to send it to them via AirDrop. But I don't know if that actually shares the file or just a PNG.
Maybe someone on the Draw forum has an idea how you could send the file to someone else.

Printing preview with adobe pro or acrobat reader

When I print a document I generally use the Preview button to check what the document looks like.
Is it normal that with Adobe Pro or Reader the Preview buttons returns the following comment "preview is not supported".
Merci

Yes, that seems like the expected behavior - I am not exactly sure why Adobe does this, but it happens here too.
If it's important, you could ask on the Adobe site or send feedback to Apple asking why this occurs.

Issues with Adobe and their Acrobat XI Pro product

A couple of problems I am having with Adobe products. First, you tell me I can't get Acrobat XI Pro in Papua New Guinea and yet you allowed me to have the free trial. Now I want to buy it and you won't let me. Second, your chat which says is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week doesn't work. Lastly, I can't change my country of residence in my account. So far it's a very disappointing experience with you. I wonder if there is some other product out there that does the same thing without all the problems I am encountering from Adobe?

Hi vintage kiwi,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing.

Using Filemaker with Adobe Illustrator for Book Project

Hi All,
I have a database of musical works contained inside a Filemaker Pro database - it's a mixture of images and text.
I'd like to make a book with the content and was hoping to use a template within Adobe illustrator and pull the data in dynamically from Filemaker.
Is Illustrator the right tool for this? I can't find many links or articles.
Any advice at all on using Filemaker to generate book content much appreciated.
Thanks

I don't really want to post screenshots here of a proprietary solution. But here's a description of a similar FMP-based "publishing" solution:
You have a layout for end-users' main browsing. Similar-looking layouts are used for data entry, but include administrative functions, fields, and flags which expedite content creation, but are not meant for end-users. Typical FMP stuff. But now you take it to the next step:
You build a Report Layout specifically sized and formatted for printing and/or exporting to PDF. You use the FMP tools for object sliding; use Container Fields and/or WebViewer objects for illustrations; use the Merge Field function and/or text Calculation Fields to format text content from multiple data fields. You can overlap fields, so having a container field in the background is simple.
You basically ignore the "publish" Layout as you create, edit, and work with data. But it's always there, and is always "already built and populated." Whenever you want to publish a print version catalog for a particular product, you just launch an FMP script which automatically:
Prompts you for the desired set of records (product model, chapter, category, etc.)
Performs the necessary find and sort.
Creates a table of contents. (Based on another print-formatted Report Layout.)
Exports the TOC as a PDF. (Typically a dozen or so pages.)
Exports the content pages as a separate PDF. (Several hundred pages is no problem.)
In a few minutes, you have an updated print-ready book.
You open the Content PDF in Acroat Pro, insert the pages from the TOC PDF in the front of it, and send it to your on-demand printing outsource. The end result is a perfect-bound manual, without ever having jumped through hoops to dump data into a conventinal-wisdom page-layout app.
So this one FMP solution:
Is used for data entry.
Serves as a live internal reference tool served on FMPSA.
Serves as a data export and data analysis tool.
Can be bound as a fully-functional standalone runtime application.
Is web-deliverable via FMPSA's IWP.
Is web-deliverable as a web site's "backend data" via PHP.
Serves as the "publishing platform" for print-ready and/or web-delivered PDF-based catalogs.
Vector drawings are created in Illustrator, Draw, CAD software, or whatever, and saved as vector PDFs in a folder acessible to the FMP database. The PDFs are named according to a record's unique identifier field (primary key).
You launch Acrobat Pro and run a Batch operation which opens the folder full of PDFs and batch-exports them to an adjacent PNGs folder. The PNGs are exported to the correct size for the Container Field(s) on the print Layout. (Optionally, another Container Field on the browsing Layout displays PDF icons which are links to the PDFs for when a user needs a scaleable, zoomable vector version.) During data entry, each time a new record is created or edited, a scripted button imports both the PNG and the PDF with a click; or batch-imports the images for all records at once.
One could just as easily build a layout and script the solution to create and send HTML-formatted emails of a found page or set of pages.
Like an XML / InDesign solution, FMP effectively figures out for you how many pages are needed for the length of the TOC, and the length of the parts list that accompanies each illustration and creates and numbers them; and it does so without any need for mucking around with XML.
So in this workflow, FileMaker Pro itself is serving as the "page layout" app. All that's sacrificed is high-end printing and exacting typography; which for many practical purposes today is becomming increasingly unnecssary.
The underlying concept herein is "FileMaker and PDF"; not "FileMaker and Illustrator." (Use any graphics program you want that can render to common RGB raster formats and/or PDF). And it's "let FileMaker automate the page assembly" instead of XML / InDesign. Just keep the page design within the capabilities of a FileMaker Layout.

How to save a video made with adobe VOICE (for ipad) in MOVIE format

I have made a video with adobe VOICE application for ipad. Does anybody know if there's a way to save the video in .MOV format. I see that it only allows me to upload the video and share it via email, FB, Twitter or message.

Hi felipe1,
You've landed in the Acrobat.com forum, and I was going to move your post to an more appropriate forum to get you question answered, but it doesn't look like we have one for Voice yet! I did find this page: Adobe Voice - Support
And, it doesn't look like there's an option to save as .mov format.
Best,

Export PDF as JPEG fails with Adobe Save for Web AI Error

Hello,
We have an Illustrator Javascript program to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. It does some adjustments along the way, but I have boiled the script down so it just opens the PDF file, then uses the export method to export it to a JPEG file. The problem is the JPEG conversion is failing. When I run with user interaction layer set to DONTDISPLAYALERTS, as I normally do, it silently fails and continues; I do not get an exception, and the export method does not have another way to return an error. When I do display alerts, I get a dialog box saying:
Adobe Save for Web AI Error
Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
It looks like this:
What's weird is if I open the same PDF file in Illustrator and select File / Export it works fine. I do get this error though if I select File / Save for Web & Devices. I'm not sure why the export method would do a Save for Web though.
The code looks basically like this:
// Set filename, docName, destFolder
file = new File(filename);
sourceDoc = app.open(file);
var fileSpec = new File( destFolder + "/" + docName +"_LARGE");
var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
var type = ExportType.JPEG;
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type );
For testing purposes, I have shortened the code so it is that, with the variable setting code above.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
------Scott.

I have not tested exporting without passing any options. You have however created a variable to an empty options object but not passed it.
did you also try…
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

There any way to re-sign the app developed with Adobe DPS?

Hi Everyone , I explain a problem that I have with DPS Single Edition ( it useful that is until May ) to see if anyone knows a solution. I have developed an app for a client , but the client wants to publish the app in Apple Developer with your name . How to export the .ipa or .zip Dps asks certificates Apple account and logically put mine ... (customer is a large company and I do not give me your passwords Apple etc ) you know if there any way they can re-sign the app ? As you do when you develop an app for a client who wants to publish on their own?

Ok they'll ask my client to send me those files.
With notifications no problem because the app does not.
With respect to Itunes connect and publication in the AppStore, will my client who is responsible for publishing the app, complete data etc. from their own.
Your help has been very helpful to me.

PCR with Adobe forms for MySAP ERP2004 / NW04 SP9

Hi all,
We would like to use the MSS PCR functionality with Adobe forms. Since we are using NW04 SP9 and MySAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), we cannot use the Adobe forms yet.
SAP said this functionality will be released today (15/11).
I am wondering what we need to upgrade to get this working. Is this a bug in ECC, in Adobe Forms, WebDynpro (BP for MSS) or a PCUI_GP bug?
regards,
Noel

Hi Heike,
Good to know these forms are only available in German and English. I assume we can translate them ourselves and use them.
We tried to get the 2 scenarios working, but every time we run into a problem: "Template could not be read from the backend". For this we already created a customer message, but it takes quite a while for an answer. Not strange, since it is new and hot technology
We have 2 servers now: One is the application server (with WebDynpro, R/3 backend, ECC50) - Java and ABAP stack installed (AIX).
On the other server we have running the portal and Adobe Document Server. This runs only on a Java stack (NT).
In the Adobe Configuration Guide we ran against a problem configuring the DestinationService (Basic authentication on the ABAP side). On the Java/ABAP server (server 1) we need to configure the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentService classes (security). Since Adobe is installed on server 2 (without the ABAP stack), we cannot configure the basic authentication properly (if we follow the guideliness).
Regards,
Noel

Ok, I have discarded eclipse :-) now I use Netbeans 5.0 and I don't see that error any more.
By thw way I have some problems with adobe-registry-api.jar;
Do anyone use this API write programs that use liveCycle registry?
I would like get the document from registry, the version of them, and so on.
I found some example from adobe, but also these examples have problem with data type, classes and so on.
Every problem leads back to adobe-registry-api.jar and whichever other class is correctly used from Netbeans.
Someone have any idea or suggestion?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! :-)
Bye,

On hold with Adobe Help for over 46+ minutes

I called Adobe help to try to resolve my Creative Cloud product activation issues on a new machine, and at the time I am writing this message, have been on hold for over 46 minutes. Fortunately I wear a headset, but unfortunately this results in lost productivity time for me (which results in less income).
My membership with Adobe is current. I have a problem with the product that needs to be resolved.
I am very dissatisfied with the level of support Adobe provides for its products.

A few questions:
Which OS version are you on?
Do you have the text or screen shots of the specific issues you are seeing?
You can email me at [email protected] and we will work to resolve your issues.

Mix native iOS development with Adobe DPS created iPad apps

Is it possible to mix programmtic elements into an app developed with the Adobe DPS tools?
Although one can hook up buttons and gestures for slide shows, as I've seen in some of the videos, I need to build a hybrid app where a section of the app hands control over to a native IOS built set of components.
I'm coming from the iOS development side of things, so I know little of the capabilities of a client's InDesign and DPS toolset, except that I haven't found resources to do anything beyond simple interactions within DPS.

No, you can't include native iOS components in a DPS publication. For extensibility people tend to write HTML5 content and include that in a web overlay.
