Medical device licensing for Acrobat Reader

Adobe states, in EULA for Acrobat reader version 9, the following:
Quoted
You will not use any Adobe Runtime on any non-PC device or with any embedded or device version of any operating system. [...Examples...] You may not use it on ... kiosk, medical devices...
This is the question:
I need to use Acrobat Reader on a "medical" device that is controlled by a Panel PC with OS Windows XP Professional. This is just a simple controller and has no contact with patients and has no life substainig applications. I don't need to distribute Acorbat Reader with interface software, but, if needed, it must be called from command line (the program is downloaded and installed by final user).
I don't understand if I need special licensing, since it is installed on a common operating system, not developed for particular applications. Such examples are applicable only when OS is embedded or customized for control devices or this regulation is mandatory also for this kind of application?
In case I need special licensing, what should I do? Are there any fees?
Thanks.

I just received an auto-update for Reader on
my Droid phone. The new SEARCH function is very much
appreciated and welcome.
But, we have a serious security system that we are trying to get
to run on the Droid and it depends on being able to navigate around
building floor plans that have embedded links. Reader does not recognize
that the links are even there.
All you need to do is add the ability to use embedded links in a PDF
and we will have a super system.

I NEED MULTIPLE SYSTEM LICENSE FOR ACROBAT READER PRO. HOW CAN I BUY. HOW MUCH FOR THAT

I NEED A MULTIPLE PC LICENSE FOR ACROBAT READER PRO. HOW CAN BUY. HOW MUCH FOR THAT.

Reader is free. If you want multiple licenses for Acrobat, you have to discuss this with Acrobat. The Adobe Store gives pricing for up to 9 licenses. Volume license require talking to Adobe, not other users.

I need the proper settings for Acrobate Reader 9.3 to be backward compatable to open PDF 6.0.

I have a full license for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. I just got off the phone with Acrobat technical support about once you install Acrobat Reader 9 to read documents online using Internet Explorer and Firefox. That it would make documents that were scanned in with CapturePerfect3.0 and a Cannon document scanner using Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 saved in PDF format and stored as images with records stored with Access Database front-end and SQL Server backend. Simple 6.0 PDF documents stored scanned documents in a database. O.K.! The problem is once you upgrade to read newer version of Acrobat PDF documents that our staff must read online, it makes reading saved database 6.0 PDF documents unreadable. Technical support informs me that it is a settings fix in Acrobat Reader 9 but because the Acrobat Reader 9 is a free download that can't tell me how to fix the settings.
So here I am trying to find out the proper settings in Acrobat Reader 9 to read new Acrobat documents online and old 6.0 Acrobat PDF documents on Windows XP Pro workstations and one Windows 7 workstation of the CEO's assistant. So please help me with the proper setting for Acrobat Reader 9 to work online reading newer PDF documents and still read Acrobat 6.0 documents stored in a database.

Adobe Reader 9 can open old and new pdf files.

Cost for Enabling Plug-in for Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I read the developer note and noticed if I want to enable my plug-in for Acrobat Reader I need "Visit the Adobe web site and fill out an Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement."
I heard the cost is 100 US dollars per license. I am a bit confuse with it. The cost is $100 for each plug-in no matter how many copies I distributed in company. Or $100 for each computer I want to install my plug-in?

Hello,
my question is also related to the integration of our plugin into Acrobat Reader.
I fulfilled the application form for the Reader Integration Key License Agreement and I sent an email to [email protected] but I received an error that is the email account doesn't exist.
I didn't manage to find a valid account where I can send the form.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

OLE Automation for Acrobat Reader

Hello guys
I have been reading some lines about OLE Automation for Acrobat READER and Full Acrobat.
So far I have seen most saying that Reader is not fully compliant with OLE. I really have zero experience with Adobe and before I buy a full acrobat license, I want to make sure of the following:
What I need to do is the next 4 simple calls:
Connect to Acrobat
Open a pdf file in invisible mode
Perform "Select All"
Copy Selection to clipboard
After that, I will importclipboard to my datawindow and I will be done for my programming task.
Have you had similar experiences about Acrobat OLE for PDF ?
some references are in help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp
Thanks so much in advance for any hint.
Regards

Hello again
Chris, thanks so much for your very quick response.
At a first glance, the PDF Toolkit looks good and with a good price too, but I did not see if I can call functionality from PowerBuilder code without opening a user interface. Are you familiar with this ?
Stuart, very nice approach for my need, but I apologize for not explaining clearly what I want.
I just want to process the content of some lines in the file to find specific strings.
As you may see, if you open the file with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat and go to the edit menu, by clicking "Select All" and "Copy" you will get the text ready for pasting.
I want to automate this process to prevent the users from opening the Adobe application.
I'm now testing with the functions provided by Adobe documentation to perform OLE Automation and ALMOST gave me what I need with the following code:
Documentation is found in
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?&accessible=true
// Start Code
boolean lb
oleobject luo_app, luo_file
luo_app = create oleobject
luo_app.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.app')
luo_file = create oleobject
luo_file.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.AvDoc')
luo_file.open('c:\some_file.pdf')
// Next three lines are for visual debugging and confirming that file is opening well during testing of code :=)
luo_file.show()
luo_file.bringtofront()
luo_file.setviewmode(1)
// Next two lines return FALSE, meaning they did not execute because the words "Select All" (or "SelectAll") and "Copy" are not the right words linked to the
// menu items
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Select All') // Neither "SelectAll"
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Copy')
// End of code
Everything works fine except the two lines. The Adobe application is open and the file shown, but when calling "Select All" and "Copy" in the function menuitemexecute, Adobe does not interpret these phrases.
Just to confirm that menuitemexecute has the right syntax, I tested a call for luo_app.menuitemexecute("find") and this command is well interpreted by Adobe, which immediately opens the find window at the right corner of the file
I hope not to be too dense with this explanation ( but maybe I was ) :=)
Thanks for your feedback

Shared Review End Review, Deadline not working in Acrobat Pro 9 for Acrobat Reader 8 reviewers

I am testing the features of PDF Shared Reviews on a network server using Acrobat Pro 9 with reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8.1. (All are Windows users.) After initiating the review via the Tracker and having no problem getting the reviewers to comment and publish, I select End Review in the Tracker. Acrobat Pro 9 registers this action and shows that the review has ended in the yellow bar at the top of the PDF and in the Tracker. However, all the reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8 can continue to comment, publish their comments, and the comments continue to show up in the PDF posted in the network folder. That PDF file continues to say, when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 by the initiator, that it is closed for reviewing. The comments published after the review has ended continue to show up. This is true minutes, hours, and days after the review has been ended so is not a synch problem.
I cannot add comments to this PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 because Acroat Pro registers the end of the review. I can open this file in Acrobat Reader 8 on my computer and continue to add comments. This same problem exists after the deadline set initially has passed. Acrobat Reader 8 users are always able to comment and publish comments when the review should have been ended for them.
How do I get the reviews to end for Acrobat Reader 8 users?
Thanks.
Mary-Nell

Those users will have to upgrade to Reader 9 to get the deadlines working

What I need to write plug-in for Acrobat Reader ?

Look at the documentation:

Special Standard printer only for acrobat reader, is this possible? Registry Hack

In my networking earea are a lot of printers also a big toshiba copying mashine.
While printing a pdf file to it with an PCL6 printer driver it takes a lot of time to print this.
When i take a Postscript driver it runs faster ...
so when my users will print pdf's it is difficult to explain them how to print ... an own standard printer for acrobat reader would solve this problem.
Does anyone have a solution? is there some registry hack?
regards 2CV6

In Windows (don't know if this is the case on Mac) in a corporate environment where you are connected to printers via verbose network paths, you can't see the entire path. The "printer name" gets truncated. Since the name of the printer is at the right end of the path, you can't see which printer is which.
It would be handy if they had a function that allowed you to scroll to the right of the printer list and/or throw up a tool tip that gives the entire path. I'm surprised this hasn't been flagged as a pretty significant issue.

Security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2

I just installed the security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2 from this link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-15.html
After the update there is nothing to indicate that it is actually installed.
Going to Help About both Acrobat & Reader still shows Version 8.1.2 as before.
Is there a way to tell if the patch is installed?

My problem is same as Post #2
I have downloaded the security update and still see AcroRd32.exe as File version 8.1.0.137. I've done this on more than one machine running XP/SP2 with every Windows update applied except SP3. I have deleted Acrobat Reader via Control Panel and then for good measure deleted the sub-directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader manually.
I downloaded again, ran updates until I got "There are no updates available at this time."
I ran the security update as stated in the posts above(Post #16). This was verified via
Computer Management > System Tools > Event Viewer
Product: Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 (KB403742) -- Installation operation completed successfully.
There are 2 files in C:\Program File\Adobe\Security Update
HotFix64.exe and RdrSU.mst
I just don't see where AcroRd32.exe version 8.1.2.215 or whatever is supposed to come from?
I'm running this as Administrator and on 3 different machines each with the same result.

Licensing for Acrobat 9 Pro has quit working - How to fix this

I just subscribed to the Photography plan that gives me access to Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5. I already own Design Creative Suite CS3 and Adobe Acrobat Pro (9). When I downloaded the application manager and began to download PS & LR it showed all applications and most listed as the option "Try" and on Acrobat XI Pro it indicated "Up To Date." Once I downloaded and installed the PS & LR applications I tried to open a .pdf to do some research. I got the following message as Acrobat Pro tried to open:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support
for help.
I uninstalled Acrobat XI and Acrobat 9 from my computer, restarted it, then re-installed Acrobat Pro 9 from the CS3 installation disk. When done I tried to open a .pdf and got the same message. I restarted the computer and tried again and got the same message. I then did a Verify Permissions & Repair Permissions and Checked the Disc. (BTW this is all on a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 o/s. I have the 10.8 Mountain Lion o/s disk on the way, so I can't install/use LR 5 until that is done. anyway...)
Since it is Sunday and there is NO Adobe Customer Support and there is no IT department in my house, what do you think I should do? As an aside, the initial download/install for Photoshop CC hung at 44% installed. I did online chat with Bhartha at Adobe and he managed to do nothing but make my system worse. So I got away from him and repaired the damage he caused when I did the "screen share" operation with him. IM not so HO, Adobe's support system, what's the technical term?, SUCKS. If I had any good options to Photoshop and Lightroom I would use them, but for now I'd be stuck with something worse, like GIMP and Aperture. Okay, that's my rant about the sub-standard approach Adobe has to support. Apparently they feel that once you have their product then you're stuck with it and if they give you crappy service, so what? I hopefully await the day when Adobe gets bought and ruined by Microsoft. Like the old days when the phone company was one big corporation. Their motto: We Don't Care. We Don't Have To. Adobe seems to have adopted that idea.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem

Everything was fine until I downloaded & installed PS CC. I had a copy of Acrobat 9 I had purchased. There was also a folder for AA XI I had previously downloaded as a Cloud member, but had cancelled that and did not use AA XI. Everything in CS worked fine for the last 2-3 years, until this download. As I stated, the download "hung" on install the first time at 44% install & I contacted Adobe via the chat line. Why a download of Photoshop CC would wreak havoc on my functional Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (or XI Pro, for that matter), is something they couldn't explain, and they couldn't fix. They provided no help whatsoever...in point of fact the tech guy didn't actually seem to know how to navigate on a Mac. First thing he did, using the "Screen Share" process, was open the Parallels partition and boot Windows. And since this problem had nothing to do with my Windows/Parallel partition it was clear he didn't have a clue. Everything he did after that just confirmed his ineptitude, right up until I turned the computer off to get rid of him.
At any rate, I used the step-by-step procedures delineated in 3 other forum discussion threads which all said do the same thing. I did. It did not help. Of course I will call Adobe tomorrow and I'm sure they will not have any solution either. Which is why I unsubscribed to the Cloud account. Every time they had updates for any application the installs would fail and then the previously installed programs wouldn't work and I would have to uninstall & reinstall EVERYTHING. That was their solution. The brilliant minds of Adobe Tech Support in action. "Did you try powering if off and then back on...?"
At risk of being seen as a person with an actual opinion based on experience, I will say that ADOBE TECH PERSONNEL ARE MORONS. Of course they're in Kuala Lumpur or some other seemingly exotic place (unless, of course, that's where you are, in which case Des Moines, Iowa seems exotic), so maybe they don't get very good training on the products they are supposed to support. Adobe doesn't care about good support. They already have your money and they pretty much have a monopoly on a few of their niches (Photoshop, Lightroom). Any place you can find another manufacturer's product that competes with Adobe, for example Corell's Painter vs. Adobe Illustrator, the other manufacturer's product is ALWAYS BETTER. ALWAYS. So I am stuck with Adobe products due to occupational need, and stuck with their sub-standard support. Whether by design or omission, ADOBE DOES NOT SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS. In point of fact, I DESPISE these clowns. I just am forced to deal with them against my desires and better judgment. Probably why homicide is illegal.

Plugin for Acrobat Reader cannot use DigSig methods?

Hi,
I have an acrobat plugin created using acrobat sdk 9, registered using PubSec. Now, i want to make it run for adobe reader aswell. but i read the following somewhere:
You may not use the Adobe Reader key to develop or enable your plug-in or any other software or hardware to perform or enable any of the following:
Add functionality to Adobe Reader that is substantially similar to functionality in commercially available Acrobat products
Accept navigational commands from an application other than Adobe Reader
Create, remove, or modify any Enabling Rights (including but not limited to permissions added to a PDF file with a product such as Adobe LiveCycle™ Reader Extensions (formerly Adobe Reader Extensions Server)
Save or modify any Acrobat file (including without limitation PDF, FDF, or annotation)
Extract and save any content from a PDF file (other than submitting form data to a remote server)
Use any APIs from the Forms or DigSig Host Function Tables (HFTs)
Modify the appearance of Adobe Reader
Remove the menu item that calls up the "About" screen in Adobe Reader
Implement a Replacement File System (RFS) for Adobe Reader"
Does this mean that i cannot use a plugin registered using DigSig HFT OR that i cannot use DigSig methods in my plugin, which i have used generously?
If the latter, then does this mean i'll have to remove all DigSig method usage from my plugin?
Thanks

It means you need a special Reader-enabling license. When you send in your Reader IKLA (integrated key license agreement) you need to specify that you are doing something related to DigSig so that they can send you the revised agreement and pricing model.
