Enable reader in educational version of Professional?

Hi:
I’m currently using Acrobat Professional v7. I need the capability to enable Reader for the forms that I create (I need the user to be able to send the forms back to the department in pdf format. Currently that can only be done if they are using a professional version).
I am considering buying the professional version X, but the student/teacher version. Is there any real difference between the no educational version and the educational version?
Also, as I have learned in these forums, and am I correct that I will only need version X to enable reader for my forms? I don’t want to find out that I also need to purchase  “LiveCyle Reader Extensions”.
Thanks

I thought I should make a point about the licensing of the educational version:
TEACHERS AND STAFF
employed by a primary or secondary school , university, or college as defined below
For personal use: by teachers and staff purchasing for use on their personally owned computers
(This is for the UK - http://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-EDU-UK&event=displayEduCond itions&nr=0 - other countries may be different)
This doesn't seem (to me, and I'm not a lawyer) to include running it at work as part of your job. Your organisation (school, college etc.) may well be able to buy Adobe software at attractive discount, but it might not be classed as an education version. Weird, but these things are potentially important.

  • Using education version for professional/commercial purposes

    Can anyone help me out with this? I've gone through Adobe customer support, in several different manners, and get several different answers to this.I've also found different answers on the forums too.
    I am currently a student and using an education version of Web PremiumCS4, purchased through Adobe, with a valid student ID. I am getting interest in freelance work and would like to eventually use my programs for professional uses. However, from what I understand, that would currently go against the educational product license agreement.
    To me, it would make sense that a student using the product to learn how to become a professional, using the product for their career choice, would eventually want to use their same copy for commercial reasons. So far, I've been told I have to purchase the full version with the commercial license in order to be able to use it without legal concern. Why in the world would I purchase the product all over again when the copy I have is exactly the same, just the legal agreements are different?? Ive also been told that I can trade in my educational product, receive credit for the price I paid and pay the remaining difference to buy the same program, just with a commercial license.
    Clarity please!
    Thanks,
    Shelbie

    Hey Shelbie, the really good news is, when you do graduate and want to use the programs for true commercial work, then Adobe does give you a great deal to upgrade to the full commercial version from your student version.  I upgraded from my student version of Web Standard CS3 to Web Premium CS4 for $559 compared to having to pay $1499 for it.  It is a huge savings compared to what someone off the street has to pay.

    I have purchased Production Premium CS4 Educational Version. Its serial number is not working. Please help...

    If you recently purchased this then it is not likely to be a valid sale/purchase.  Adobe does not sell older versions of their products and no one but Adobe provides student/teacher licensing.  If you purchased this some time years ago and it is only recently that you find you are not able to reactivate it with the original serial number you can try contacting Adobe Support thru chat and see if they will be willing to work with you to resolve this.

  • How many computers can I install Indesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 on with an Asia Pacific Education version?

    I've tried to have a look around among discussions, however, as it's CS4 and thus pretty outdated at this point, I'm having to start something new.
    This is not for me, but a community organisation that I am volunteering for that has the copies and has asked me to see if they're allowed to install it on another computer within their small office.
    Thanks in advance for any information!

    J,
    I believe you can only install an educational version on one computer. But an educational version is for one student/teacher and cannot be sold/given away to others, so they may be far out already.
    But you should ask someone from Adobe.
    You may try Customer Care,
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    or Adobe Support (phone),
    http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
    but they may tell you that the version is too old for them to deal with.
    If you wish, you may report your (lack of) findings here, so I can maybe ask someone to find the right someone to give the final answers.

  • How can I tell if I have an Education version?

    Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I would appreciate some info.
    I have FCE 3.5 and Aperture. I want to upgrade both to the newest versions.
    I know I bought one of them with the education discount originally and that I can't buy the upgrade to that software. I will need to buy the full version.
    Problem is, I don't remember which program is the education version. I would rather not have to pay full price for full versions of them both if I don't have to.
    I think I remember reading once that the education version is supposed to have a message on the startup screen stating that is is an education version. Neither of my programs have any special labeling on the start up screen. Is there another way to tell?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    In response to your "Why" question Ian, I want to upgrade for the AVCHD support. I am on the verge of buying the Canon HF100 camcorder. My old Canon Optura 200MC just gave up finally, and I would like to move away from the MiniDV format. I know iMovie 7 will do the job, but I really like the way FCE works and would rather stay with it.
    As far as the lost features go, I read somewhere that I could still use the old Live Type, or at least import what it is missing. Is that correct?
    I never put Soundtrack to much use, but I figure the old version will still be usable if I wanted to use it.
    Thanks to you and Tom both for your informative posts. I have read many of them through the months and have learned a lot.

  • No Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 4 - Education version

    Bought the CS4 box (education version). When I started the installation, the setup menu mentioned all programs indicated on the box. But Acrobat 9 Pro was not actually listed, it just mentioned that Acrobat Pro would overwrite any existing version but well, the option could not be SELECTED or DESELECTED. Then when it was all finished, I found no Acrobat 9 Pro in Vista Start Menu. And now if I run the setup again, as if I wanted to add or remove programs, there is not the slightest mention of Acrobat Pro in the list .... Tried to install an old evaluation version and give my box key number but ... this was refused ! could Adobe have "forgotten" to include Acrobat 9 Pro on the 4 CD's contained in the box ??????? Strange .. .Help ...Thanks Lydia

    Which version of the suite did you purchase? Acrobat Pro is not included with every version.

    I don't have any idea if the installer would mention it in a bundle that didn't include it.

  • Not Working: Enable Reader to Save the Document

    I'm having a problem that's mentioned in the first post on this knowledgebase thread: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w.html
    I have Acrobat Pro 8.0 and Acrobat Reader 8.0 installed, so I should not be having this issue. After I've enabled reader to save the document within Reader, and I test it within Reader 8.0, I get this message: 
    Outgoing Message Notification
    An email message with "documentname.pdf" attached has been given to your default email application. If your email application is configured to send email automatically on a schedule, the email will b sent automatically.
    If not, you will need to send the message manually.
    But my default email application (Outlook) doesn't open an email up. I've checked the "internet properties" for my browser, and Outlook is set as the default email application, so I'm not sure why it's not working. PLEASE HELP!!!

    As Graffiti said, I am just trying to help you from going down a frustrating path. You can enable Reader Right's in Acrobat (if you designed the form in LiveCycle Designer, you may have to follow a slightly different path) to allow the full form to be saved. However, you can have the form data (XML or FDF) submitted and that does not require the save step. The issue with the save is that you are limited to 500 uses by the EULA (looks like your form was a general use form and you would likely exceed the limit).
    The submitted data can be imported to the form and so you can easily have the same results as getting the full form with data.
    The problem with e-mail submission is that it is dependent on the client machine, something you have no control over unless you are in a controlled environment and the machines can be controlled as a result. MAPI is the Windows interface that allows other programs to access e-mail. There are at least 2 versions of it and many folks do not activate it. Thus, those without MAPI activated would flood you with the complaints about it not working. You are welcome to try to set up instructions to tell folks how to activate it, but they would likely have something else to say to you or simply get lost -- a good way to lose business. If you do not need the data formatted, you can have it submitted to cgi-mail or formmail that may be on your server. In that case you will have to have the data formatted in an HTML form (one of the options in Acrobat forms, not sure about Designer). Then the data would be submitted just like on a web form to the mail script. These scripts require hidden fields to know where to send the mail and such.
    What I meant to say is that it is unfortunate that the manual suggests e-mail when it is not a good method to use for form submission. We address this issue 3 or 4 times a week with folks. There are several forum topics that relate to your question, all saying pretty much the same. Sorry if you do not like the answer, but that is the way it is. Use e-mail submission if you wish, but be prepared for complaints. At least you know why you will be getting them. Apparently some MAC users have some similar problems with e-mail submission. I have no idea about UNIX users in general. It even sounds like you don't have things set up correctly on your e-mail and you are expecting it to work for other folks? That's the problem!

  • Can I install CS5 (education version) in my 2nd computer?

  • How can I tell if I have an educational version?

    I bought Lightroom V1 a couple of years ago, it may or may not have been an educational version at the time. I still have the disks & serial number, but don't have the original box any more.
    Anyway, I have since upgraded my camera to a Canon EOS 50D whose raw files aren't supported under v1.4, so I would like to upgrade my version of Lightroom. However, the way I read the small print is that I shouldn't be able to upgrade an educational version. I don't want to spend the money buying an upgrade version if it won't upgrade, and I would prefer to wait until V3 comes out if I need to buy a full version.
    Is there any way I can tell if I the version I have is an education version.

    Another option would be to download the stand-alone DNG converter. It should be able to recognize your RAW files and convert them to DNG, which you could then (I believe) import into v1.4.  I say "believe" because I think there was a DNG version upgrade recently, but I think it was backwards compatible so LR v1.4 would recognize the newer DNG.
    Give it a try. 
    Just offering that as an alternative to upgrading.
    BTW, I think you're right about upgrading an educational version. But my experience has been that the educational price for a new version is about the same price as the retail price for the "upgrade" version.

  • Price in Euro for an update from LR5.6 educational version to LR6 educational version?

    Does somebody knows the price in Euro for an update from LR5.6 educational version to LR6 educational version? Thanks and Regards

    All right. I've managed to get my iPad running again with IOS 7 now.
    As an additional tip for anyone who might need the intel : I had to click on "restore" in iTunes 3 times to get it done. First time to launch the process, then a second time after a 75 min download, and a third time after whatever task iTunes/iPad had just finished doing... All this without any prompt. I mean iTunes did not give me any clue what to do next. It just stopped doing anything each time.
    Thanks again Ralp for the password tip : I have skipped everything as advised.
    Let's hope using this new OS won't be as painfull as installing it.
    Take-away:
    It is not possible to upgrade an iPad 2 from IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6.x. All the web is chatting about the impossibility to downgrade to IOS 6, yeah, yeah... It's impossible to upgrade too.
    Attempting to do such an upgrade from iTunes, using shift+restore with a genuine ipsw file downloaded from Apple servers will make your iPad unusable (locked in "recovery mode"), with no other choice but to upgrade to IOS 7.
    There's no early warning from iTunes about all that. It starts the upgrade process then aborts it, leaving the iPad gets locked into "recovery mode". Period.

  • Final Cut Studio Educational version serial number

    I've been using an educational version of Final Cut Studio for years, and now it is asking me for my name and serial number before I open the program.  I've looked at the box that the discs come in, and have found some numbers, but they don't seem to be the serial numbers and they don't work.  Is there somewhere else that these serial numbers may be?  Also, is there a reason why I am forced to put in my information to log in now?
    thanks!

    There are two stickers with the serial # attached to the "Installing your software" pamphlet that came with the suite. This is the only place that you will find it.
    If you have lost the documentaion, follow these instructions:

    Have you recently had the computer repaired? The encrypted serial is tied to the Logic board ID. You will need to delete that file if so.

  • Reader 9 for Mac "Enable Reader Usage Rights"

    how is this done for mac's in 9? all of the forums say go to the advanced tab and then just enable them there... there is no advanced drop down menu? I need to add in comments and such but can't do that until i have Enabled Reader Usage Rights, please help!

    >so can i not make annotations if i just have the free version?
    That's correct, unless someone has enabled the usage rights for you/
    >because i cannot enable my reader usage rights?
    Yes. The idea is to sell more copies of Acrobat, one way or another.

  • Retail vs Educational version

    OK guys, my free trial is almost up, and despite my inadequate hardware I definately am going to buy Aperture ( new MBP coming soon!). I have the opportunity to purchase an educational version due to family at university but...I think I read that the ed version does not benefit from free upgrades. Is this true or did I just imagine it? Is the ed version identical in every way to the retail?
    TIA

    You are using the word "upgrades" where you should be
    using the word "updates."
    All software Apple makes is allowed free UPDATES, but
    the educational version of Aperture does not permit
    discounted UPGRADES.
    That being said, buying TWO versions at the
    educational discount comes to the same amount as
    buying one full version. A full version currently
    costs $300 USD. Upgrades tend to run around 50% the
    cost of the full version, if not a bit less or more,
    so for argument's sake lets say an upgrade to 2.0
    will cost $150 USD. By that math, Aperture 2.0 will
    cost a total of $450 USD. Or, you could buy the
    educational for $150 USD, and then get 2.0
    educational for $150 USD and spend a total of $300
    USD for the same exact software.
    Food for thought...
    You are indeed correct about our use of update vs upgrade, and while I feel we are all sure of the meanings it seems Apple themselves are not I quote from their Aperture web-site:
    "Free Aperture 1.5 Update: All current owners of Aperture will automatically receive the free upgrade to Aperture 1.5 via Software Update." Oh well.
    On the maths side you are not correct however for the UK. As always we get to pay more for the same in the UK, and whilst your 2 for 1 analogy is I'm sure correct for you guys Stateside, in the UK the retail version costs £219, however the Academic version costs £ 138.65, or about 63% of the retail version. Clearly 2 copies of the Academic version in the UK is not such a good deal.
    Looks like a retail version for me!
    Thanks

  • LR 30 day trial purchased education version & activation code not working

    Hello
    I purchased a iMac 5K and had been using Aperture on my old machine. Felt this was a good time to change to LR 5.
    Downloaded the 30 day trial and decided yes I was very happy the software. I purchased the education version and received my code via email. This code is not being accepted by LR 5.7.1.
    Is the download version different to the one I have purchased?
    Do I need to delete the version I have installed and then use the disk provided? If that is the case can I reload all my past 2 weeks changes to LR?
    Many thanks for your help.

    You’re not by any chance running the creative cloud version of LR are you?
    The CC download can only be validated by subscription, not with a serial number.
    If so, send it to the trash and use this download link for v 5.7.1; then enter your serial number.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5856
    N.B you can use your DVD disk if preferred but you will need to update via the help menu to 5.7.1 after installation.
    Your photos and catalog won't be affected.
