Is use of PDF icon in an application permitted?

Hi. Not sure if this is right place to ask (or if Adobe has time to bother with such trivial stuff...) but I am developing an application that asks the user to browse and select a PDF file.
Is it permissable to use the standard Adobe PDF icon on the application (just for a bit of visual clarification/interest for the user)? The PDF icon is in such wide use that I can't imagine Adobe has time or resources to track down improper use of the icon but am just wondering whether using it in such a way would be allowed.
Thanks.

Using the PDF Icon in a print document

I would like to use the PDF icon in a printed piece to describe a PDF file that is available. We have a PDF form that we distribute to users. There is also an online version of this form, with a little more functionality. Users can choose between using the PDF form or going online. In a small brochure we outline the purpose of the form and then give the user the option to request the PDF form or go to the online form. I would like to put the PDF icon in the printed brochure so the users can easily identify that it is actually a PDF. Does anyone know where I can get the art for the PDF icon that will be of a high enough resolution to go into a printed brochure? Thanks!

Hi,
The workaround is install Foxit PDF reader - available free.
In DC30 for PDF files mention PC-3-%AUTO%
In MS Explorer change the settings to open PDF files with Foxit.
In CV02N as you select print for PDF files it will directly print the file without opening it thru standard network printer.

Item Number changes when PDF using SAP PDF icon, incorrect item number ?

In Germany we PDFd a purchase order using SAPs internal PDF button
(2005 patch level 44). We found that it screwed up one of the item
numbers in the order. The item number should have been 921449-2.5 the
PDF showed 921449-5.2 We printed normally and used an external PDF
application, both showed the correct item number. Is this a known issue?
Please advise - Thanx

Does anyone have inputs on any guidlines for using ovi branded icons within the application?
Is it ok to have an ovi branded icon within an application to route to the ovi store page of your content?

I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail. PDF attachments are included in the e-mail as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon. How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon. How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

I am running 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install ver 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there. What is going on?

I am running system 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install your new version 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there (which is now the 3.6.17). What is going on?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I cannot print any kind of document using the File Print command on the tool bar of any application, but I can print using the printer icon. OS X 6.8 with HP Photosmart printer. Any thoughts?

When trying to print any kind of document on my wife's Mac Pro, the File>Print Command will not work. She just downloaded an update to Microsoft Office and the problem began after that, but it also applies to other non-Microsoft Applications. However, the print function does work when you use the printer icon in any of the applications. She has OS X 6.8 and an HP Photosmart printer. Thank you for any thoughts.

Did your wife also apply the Feb. 2 Security Update 2012-01 v. 1.0 from Apple? That update contains a bug which disables printing and some other functions in applications that were originally written for the PowerPC processor and which require Rosetta to run on Intel Macs. Fortunately, yesterday Apple released v. 1.1 of the update, which resolves the problem. Run Software Update again to install the revised update.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Firefox 31 changes all PDF icons to Firefox HTML icons that I can not seem to change back, can this be rectified? Using Windows XP.....

Once Firefox 31 is installed it sees all PDF files as Firefox HTML files and changes all of the PDF icons to Firefox HTML icons. This change can not seem to be reversed without uninstalling Firefox.
Only the icon is changed, not the .PDF extension.

Thank you for your reply but it's not that simple:
Windows now thinks that the default file type for .pdf is Firfox HTML Document.
I can change which program opens .pdf files but I can't change the icon.
Not a Firefox problem? Really?
EDIT:
Let me explain further so that you can understand. In folder options / file types I can scroll thru and choose any file type / advanced and change the icon...every one of them except (now) .pdf. There is no advanced tab. Only the message about "restore" I mentioned before.
Firefox changed the file association for .pdf files and now I can't fix it.
And from another thread:
"Firefox 31 is not converting or renaming your files. All it is doing is registering with the Windows OS as an application that is able to open the files and Windows then changes the file's icons accordingly.
This should only occur if no other application has already registered your .pdf files."
Well I guess that's not true is it?

When I try to put the icon in the applications folder, it says it can't install it because this file is in use: libsoftokn3.dylib. Ihave closed all apps and I have no idea what this is.

When I try to put the updated Firefox icon into my applications folder, I see this message:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use.
I have closed all apps and don't understand what this refers to.
Thanks!

This isn't something that can be managed from the Flex end of things. You have to configure the document DRM.

Missing PDF icons

I updated my Adobe Acrobate Reader to the 9.2.0 version a few weeks ago, and ever since then, the icons next to PDF files have disappeared and are now just generic file icons.
Not a HUGE deal or anything, they still open with Adobe Reader and are still associated with that program, but all the PDFs in the file don't show the Reader icon with it anymore...
Small example of how they all look in my Explorer windows:
I am using Windows XP Professional if that helps?

I had this problem.
It's quite likely you or your system administrator emptied a folder that Windows uses for temporary programme installers and for some stupid reason Adobe points the Acrobat PDF icon to some file that was in that folder instead of somewhere more normal, like c:\acrobat\...
The quick fix is this: (I know you're using v9 Pro) - 2 ways listed below:
Run Acrobat's Update from Help/About. If that does not fix your problems due to an error, your Acrobat installation is buggered although Pro itself works fine/does enough of what you want so keep on going. Reboot and try the next option. I'm sure your Windows XP installation is fine/not affected.
Download Reader 9 from the Adobe website. By default it shows the most current (version 10 at the mo). Click on the link that asks you to download for a different OS but the page that comes up is actually one which allows you to choose back dated Acrobat Readers, just click the choices to move on through.
Go ahead and install Reader 9. It pretty much has everything you need to fix your icons without the faff of uninstalling/reinstalling Pro. And if your Pro installation was as buggered as mine (I couldn't even uninstall the thing because fo what hap[pened after the icons went missing), I could still use Pro for everything that I do.
Anyhow, by now your default icons should change to PDF icons.
Reboot to make sure the changes stick.
Now to test it:
1) If you open a PDF, Pro should still fire up. Icons fixed. You're sorted.
2) If Reader fires up, open a Windows Explorer and follow similar steps above this post but change the application from Reader to Pro.
Icons fixed and Pro opens. You're sorted.
ONE LAST THING: If in Acrobat the Updater reports an error go to File > Preferences > Updater and change the update setting to Off (not to check for updates). This shuts up the Acrobat warning that pops up saying there's an update to install and which on my system only generated errors because it couldn't find what it needed from my original Pro installation before I got myself into this mess.

Is your PDF icon missing after 9.1.0 update

My desktop icon for Acrobat Pro 9 turned into a generic icon after the latest update. Even reconnecting the PDF extension with the application didn't work. After searching a long time for help, I found it in this forum. (CT wrote about his Acrobat 8 version and the same problem resulting from an update. He gave the solution he used that worked for him.) I have the same OS and decided to give this solution a try. It worked for me, too! His answer may benefit others after this latest update for Acrobat 9.
"What I did was opened up one of my pdf files, selected "Help" from the top menu bar, and from the pull-down menu I clicked on "Repair Acrobat Installation.After it 'did its thing' I was prompted to restart the PC (which I did) and when it finished booting up, ALL the pdf icons were restored. I have Windows XP and Acrobat 8 Professional (which I purchased) and Adobe Reader - which came with the PC.I am pretty sure that the 'Repair Installation' option is available in both."

I was having the same problem with PDF files.
I tried all the suggestions.
Nothing worked correct in my case.
Finally I found a hint somewhere on internet and that solved my problem.
I opened the Diplay properties and changed the ICON SIZE (for all files) to LARGE.
Click APPLY
The PDF Icon was restored.
Again I set back the ICON SIZE to previous size (SMALL)
PDF Icon was not affected (It remained correct)
This information is for all the friends suffering like me.
O Yes. Have you installed "TweakUI (PowerToy)".
I think the PDF Icon disappeared somehow because of it.
But I am not sure.

I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information.

I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information. If I go to chrome it will open the bank statements but Firefox no longer open these flies. Why??????

It's very unusual to get no results for PDF in the Application preferences list. It's possible that the file which stores those preferences might have become corrupted. Perhaps it would be best to rename or delete the file and let Firefox re-create it.
Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. After things setting down, check the Application preferences again to see whether PDF is listed and then set the drop-down on the right side to the desired action.
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
Does that work any better?
