Licensing Options for .air (& .pdf) files?

Hello,
Does anyone have any ideas for licensing software for .air files that will be distributed? Using .swf licensing option might also work. Most everything out there is for .exe, and is really expensive.
I'm also looking for licensing options for use in PDFs that will be distributed.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'd start here:
http://www.adobe.com/licensing/
(runtimes licensing and distributions)
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/faq.html
(Acrobat family licensing/distributions FAQ)
PDF is advertised as open format:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf.html
(PDF Technology Center)
and other forum could help:

Generally speaking reading EULA-s for software you're using to produce contain help to find what software is used/components licensed for use with runtime/etc (so we could avoid patent trolls - while Adobe could be hit only - in theory):

Options for saving PDF files in Acrobat X Pro

In Adobe Acrobat X Pro, there are options to Save a file as PDF/A, PDF/X, and PDF/E. I could not find a description on what those switches/parameters do. Would appreciate anyone telling me how they differ from a regular Save, or where I can find online documentation for them.

In short you can find several references on line for these:
PDF/A - Archive format
PDF/X - For publishers
PDF/E - Optimized for engineering drawings
For more info, check the web as suggested. The ISO is even there.

HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
Apple - we need you to solve!

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:

It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser. I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?
http://www.tabardtheatre.org/YPASCfolder/2012/SummerYouthProgram2012.pdff#page=3&bookmark= anniejr
You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

Automated method for downsizing PDF files?

i have run into the limit of a 1 TB disk and need to return to an old problem where I have a lot of scanned documents that i printed to PDF using Preview and which are now taking up a ton of space. Some of the are 100 GB for roughly 10 or 20 page documents.
can anyone help me with a workflow that would enable me to select all PDF over - say - 5 GB in size and to downsample them?
i have a set of filters that will do this by selecting one by one and i do have Adobe Acrobat Pro (i now have it) - and my recollection was that there was a set of AUTOMATOR scripts that let me drag PDF files over a folder to downsample them? does anyone remember what this was and or have advice? i'm an Automator newbie so the first one of two runs at this were not easiest enough for me to implement at the time I first started researching it...
TIA

If you have Acrobat Pro, you should use it. You don't need Automator.
There are several options. Fastest is Document > Reduce File Size, which works on batches of files.
Finer control can be achieved with Advanced > PDF Optimizer. Experiment with different settings on a typical file; when you've got what you want, build a batch sequence in Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing, then run it on the select files. (Details in "Processing in Batches" in Acrobat's Help.)
To find the files you want to work on, use, of course, Spotlight, with suitable Kind and Size search criteria.
(There are various options to reduce PDF file sizes, including something like PDF Shrink, or Automator actions involving Quartz filters, which can be customised with the ColorSync Utility. But none are as good as Acrobat Pro, so, if you spent the big bucks buying it, you might as well get your money's worth.)

Does Adobe provide a free API for creating PDF files

Does Adobe provide a free API (for Windows) for creating PDF files?   We are currently using
a basic, internally developed API for creating PDF files, but would like some additional
capabilities ... in particular the ability to add a watermark that appears when printing
but not when viewing PDF files on-line.
If this is not the right forum for this question, please let me know what forum would be
appropriate.
Thanks,
Mark

OK, with a little bit of searching on Adobe's web site, I found the answer to my question.   Yes, Adobe does offer
an API for creating/manipulating/reading PDF files: it's called the Adobe PDF Library SDK and it has to be
licensed. Version 9 is the latest.   The cost is decided on a case-by-case basis.    Here is the link:

But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013.
Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.

2. we need to install the foxit ifilter

Saving Password for a pdf file in HP Client Security Manager

Hello,
I want to save the password for a pdf file in the Password Manager of the HP Client Security Manager Software but the symbol for the entry of the password is not appearing on the top right of the screen. If I use the registered fingerprint a dialog opens where the Client Security Manager asks which account it should use to login. But i can't add a password for the file. The login for websites is perfectly fine.
Do you have any idea how to fix that?
Is there a way to manually enter password for files?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information.

How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files

How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files. I have been able to subscribe in the past, but now all I see is annual subscription. I do not need an annual subscription because I do not use it often enough.

Hi paige1186,
The Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which allows you to combine PDF, is only available at an annual rate of $89.99. We do offer month-to-month subscriptions of Acrobat Pro and Standard, but I think you'd actually come out ahead with the annual PDF Pack subscription, if you planned on combining files more than 3-4 times throughout the year.

How to open my file in Gmail after download free trial for converting PDF file to Microsoft Words.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.
