*Newbie Question* Acrobat 8.1 SDK: Converting Files and Multithreading

I'm new to the SDK concept so please bare with me:
1.) Can .DWG files be converted directly to PDFs?
2.) **Must a version of Adobe Acrobat be installed on a computer for an application to function if it is using the SDKs class libraries?
3.) If the application is installed on one computer, how many users are allowed to access it simultaneously.
Thanks for the answers!

>1.) Can .DWG files be converted directly to PDFs?
Acrobat can use AutoCAD to do this, through the user interface. A
plug-in can also invoke this.
>2.) **Must a version of Adobe Acrobat be installed on a computer for an application to function if it is using the SDKs class libraries?
Absolutely. Just as the Windows SDK is for computers with Windows on
it, so the Acrobat SDK is for computers with Acrobat on it. The SDK
itself does not add any interfaces, they all exist in Acrobat.
>3.) If the application is installed on one computer, how many users are allowed to access it simultaneously.
Only the logged in user. Acrobat is not for network or server use.

  • Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Convert File Hyperlink From Word to PDF?

    Is there any method to convert file link (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\xx.xls) from Word 2000? I have read many related issues, but seems cannot get the final answer. Many of them only mention about URL hyperlink (eg. www.yahoo.com). Can anyone help?

    Do you mean that  Office XP and later version can automatically convert the file link? No need to manually create the link in Acrobat using the link tool?
    I will work this out to see whether ok or not.
    By the way, thank you, Michael Kazlow.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Missing PdfMaker files and won't pdf files

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 7.0 standard edition and I'm running it on Windows XP with MS Office 2003.
    The icons to automatically create PDF from MS Word does not appear and when I look for them on the toolbars menu they are not there.
    So I open Acrobat and click create pdf, but midway it tells me that it is missing some pdfmaker files and do I want to run it on repair mode.
    I click yes, but that does not solve the issue.
    I have tried uninstalling and removing the whole program and that did not help.
    I even removed all the activation information and reinstalled it and reactivated it and no luck.
    I have also downloaded the latest update from adobe and still no luck.
    Please help if you can

    I have had this problem with nearly every version of Adobe Acrobat up to and including 9.0
    Here are four things I do to resolve this issue in order of time/difficulty:
    First, I made sure that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in wasn't disabled.
    In any Microsoft Product such was Word, Excel, etc.  go to Help>About Microsoft (Word/project, etc) and then click on the 'disabled items' button.
    If the plug-in is disabled, select it and enable it again.
    Second,  I make sure the PDFMaker files are registered.
    I open a command prompt and navigate to the PDFMaker plug-in dll files in Adobe.
    In Adobe Acrobat 8.0  the file path is:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office
    I then type in:
    regsvr32 PDFMOffceAddin.dll
    That should enable the Office PDFMaker plug-ins.
    Third, I make sure that the AcroDist.exe application path was configured properly in the registry.
    If it isn't, I just create it.
    Registry path:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
    Look for the entry "AcroDist.exe"
    If not there, create it - it is a 'Key". (right click on App Paths and choose New>Key)
    In the AcroDist.exe  key the (Default) value should be:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe  
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
    depending on which version of Adobe Acrobat you have.  Essentially you put the absolute path for the AcroDist.exe file in there.
    The only other entry in the AcroDist.exe key should be the String Value Path.  If it isn't there, create it  (right click and choose New>String Value)
    The name of the String Value should be Path and the value should be the path of the AcroDist executable.   e.g.:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\
    Close out the registry and try to use the PDFMaker again
    If that still doesn't work then I run a repair on Adobe.  If THAT doesn't work then I completely uninstall/reinstall.

  • Convert files and remove originals from library?

    Ive only been using iTunes for a bit now but I think Ive got it figured out but one thing I cant seem to work out is if there is a way to get iTunes to remove the original file after it has converted it to an iPod format.
    So far I have to do this:
    -Import Files
    -Convert Files
    -Then go through and delete original files form the library
    Is there a way to set it to 'remove original after conversion' or only 'add to the library after conversion'? Any ideas of how I can get this to work or not would be greatly appreciated.

    Nope. No way to automatically remove the original file.
    You'll have to manually do this.
    You can create a Playlist of songs to convert, then go back to the Playlist and mass delete those originals (Shift-Delete).

  • Newbie question: placing Illustrator .ai or .eps file in InDesign

    I have an Illustrator file consisting of text which has been converted to outlines.  When I place either the .eps or .ai version of the file in a new InDesign document, the text is composed of blocky pixels which make it not only unaesthetic but also unreadable. My goal is to place it so that it looks like it does in Illustrator and is resizeable as a vector.  This is my first shot at using InDesign so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what.  I would appreciate any help.  Thanks!

    You likely are just looking at the low res proxy image. It is to keep the layout peppy.
    View > Display Performance
    or right click any image and go to Display Performance to adjust it individually. Can be set globally too in preference.
    Hope that works for.

  • Newb question:  How do I access the files on my usb disk?

    I'm new to Mac, and have my airport extreme set up with my usb disk conntected, and set for file sharing. But how to I access the files that I already had backed up to my disk? Like pictures and videos and stuff that I want to use on my new Mac. I know it has to be something simple I'm just not doing, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

    StacyW wrote:

    in finder, click on the icon of the airdisk under the shared header, wait for the connection to be established (you may need to enter your admin password), then click on the folder representing the external drive connected to your extreme.
    that should cause the drive to mount on your desktop after which you can access the files on the drive.

  • SDK swc files and runtime shared libraries

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me what effect setting the swc files in the sdk folder as runtime shared libraries in a project via the Library Path in the Flex Build Path. Does setting these as runtime libraries have an effect on a project or is it just setting the framework as a runtime library amend the final movies file size?
    Thanks
    Stephen

    It will make your SWF size smaller which should reduce load time and bandwidth costs.  You may need to change your code as using RSLs may find places where you need to specify a ContextualClassFactory instead of plain old ClassFactory.  Those usually show up if you use embedded fonts and find they aren't working properly.

    When you decompile the SWF is it possible to extract the Action Script?   Cheers

  • Newbie Question: Best Way to Set Up Library and Photos?

    Hello, all — I've been using Aperture for several years now, but I've been doing so with no structure or planning. Now I've got an Aperture library that is nearly 300G, mostly unorganized, and slow —  and I'm ready to clean things up. My general question: "What is the best way to organize Aperture Libraries/Photos?" Right now I've got one library and about 90% of the photos are stored "inside" Aperture.  I'd like to free up space on my internal hard drive and move my library (or libraries) and photos to an external drive.
    So my big questions are:
    "Should I have more than one library?"
    "Should I store my libraries on my internal or external drives?"
    "Should I store my pictures inside our outside of Apertur?" and
    "Starting with the library I already have, how should I go about making these changes?"
    I know these are all big topics and a lot to ask, but I'm feeling lost and would like at leat some pointers to get started.  I guess I should also point out I do limited editing of my pictures: the vast majority are downloaded from my phone and kept as-is in Aperture.
    THANKS!
    Mark

    So my big questions are:
    "Should I have more than one library?"
    That's up to you of course but there are pros and cons to multiple libraries.
    The biggest con is that by splitting up your library you cannot search all your images at one time. So say you split by year,  you can no longer get all images of Aunt Sally at Bobby's Birthday through the years. You would need to go into each year library, do the search and export the images.
    Also having multiple libraries can complicate housekeeping.
    On the plus side the libraries are smaller but there isn't a lot to be gained from smaller libraries. Aperture is able to handle fairly large libraries.
    "Should I store my libraries on my internal or external drives?"
    Again it's an individual choice but as a rule you want your libraries on the fastest drives you have. Up until the release of USB 3 and Thunderbolt that meant the internal drive, now you have more latitude.
    So old system I say keep it internal. Newer system, if you can afford the USB 3 or Thunderbolt drives it's your choice.
    "Should I store my pictures inside our outside of Apertur?" and
    Again it's a users choice. Keeping the originals managed (inside the library) greatly simplifies backups. You backup the library the originals are backed up also.  If the originals are referenced you need to make separate provisions for backing them up.
    A plus for having referenced originals is that you can store them on slower media and save space and money. Again before the new Macs this was more of as issue as you would want the library on the internal drive for speed but to save space you could put the originals on slower external drives.
    The other reason to store the originals referenced is if you need to access them with another application. If they are managed and in the library it really isn't feasible to access them from another application.
    "Starting with the library I already have, how should I go about making these changes?"
    Well step one is to make sure you have good working backups of everything. There is a good chance you will not get this right on the first shot and being able to just wipe everything out and start again will be both a big help and a great stress reliever.
    Other then that you need to decide how you what the final setup to look. You could make some teat libraries and try out different setups to see what feels better for how you work.  This will also let you play around with the commands and steps you will need to do when you do it for real.
    Good luck and if you take nothing else away from all this pay attention to the part about having backups before you start. You will be very happy you did.
    regards

  • Newbie questions on fms and actionscript 3

    Ok, like I said I'm a newbie, but I do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
    1)  What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
    2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
    3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
    I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
    Thanks for any help you might have...

    1) I did not get this question correcly - for that matter SSAS can only be in AS1 - so i dont see reason comparing them
    2) It has to be AS1
    3) if you doing "include" stuff - i think code would go into compiled swf and proper decompiler would give you the code.
    Last para - Server-side engine understands only AS1 so it wont be able to read and understand your AS3 file.

  • Problem downloading converted files

    I cannot download files that I have converted to Word or Excel, either through the Adobe Reader or directly from the Acrobat website.  The converted files are present on the website, they simply will now download.  There is no error message -- the download simply seems to  hang with no progress. 
    The problem began today.  I downloaded several files with no problem two days ago.  I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem.  If not, what should I look for in my environment that could be causing a problem?

    What browser are you using to access the ExportPDF website?
    Have you tried another browser?

  • Warning:  SUID File (11 Files) and "Permissions Differ" - No Install Disc

    Hello,
    Have had my black macbook for about 3 1/2 years now (leopard) and having problems with it being really sluggish and freezing up. Additionally, the fan is coming on a lot and being really loud. I have checked activity monitor (all processes) and nothing is running over 12...Question is are the "warning suid files" and "permissions differ" the source of these problems? I can't find my original install disc (have one for my i mac but no good I hear.) Guessing I need to go to the genius bar to fix this issue...Thanks, PoorGradStudent

    Hello and welcome to the discussions, Those warning are normal and nothing to worry about.
    While your at the genius bar see if they will run a diagnostics test on your laptop. Note, if your problems only show up after it has been on for an hour, get there an hour early and warm it up.
    No use in have them look at it if you can't replicate the problem.

  • Tokens are diffirent between CAP file and Export File

    hi Safamer, hi all guys.
    firstly, thanks all for concerning my issue.
    As i know, java card technology link components base on TOKEN.
    But the question is: the token in Export file and in the CAP file are different. So, how can off-card installer can link everything.
    For example.
    My_Package1:
    Class1:
    protected field1
    private field2
    public filed3
    ---> in the ExportFile, i have token for filed1 and field3 are 0 and 1 correspondingly. But in the CAP, these are not.
    Thanks for your answer.
    Edited by: hoan_micheal on Jun 14, 2011 1:41 AM

    dear guys!
    I check very careful for this issue. And the results are:
    - With the instance Field, virtual method ( i mean non-static), the token in the ExportFile and the token in the CAPFile is SAME
    - with the static Filed and STATIC Method, the token is different and i don't see any rule to link these tow value. For example
    --------------------------------------------------------------------CAP file --------------------------------------------ExportFile
    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\public----------private --------------------------------------token
    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\token-----------token------------------------------------------
    public........static     short     sf1....=......1------------12---------------------------------------------------------->0
    private......static     short     sf2....=......2----------------------------21          
    protected..static     short     sf3....=......3------------14---------------------------------------------------------->1
    private......static     short     sf4....=......4----------------------------23          
    public     .......static short     sf5....=......5------------16---------------------------------------------------------->2
    public...... static     short     sfn1-------------------------0----------------------------------------------------------> 3
    private......static     short     sfn2--------------------------------------- 6          
    protected..static     short     sfn3-------------------------2----------------------------------------------------------> 4
    ...............static     short     sfd1....=.....7-------------------------- 25          
    ..............static     short     sfd2....=.....8          
    public......static     byte     sb1....=......1------------18---------------------------------------------------------->5
    private......static     byte     sb2....=......2---------------------------27

    ...............static     byte     sbd1....=....10------------------------------29          
    ...............static     byte     sbd2-------------------------------------------11          
    - with the Class in a package, the token is diffent. For example.
    Package library{----------------------------exportFile Token----------------------------CapFIle--- the Offset in the Class Component
    ............. Class1--------------------------->not ---------------------------------------------->0
    public.....Class2---------------------------->0-------------------------------------------------->1
    public.....Class3---------------------------->1-------------------------------------------------->2
    ............Class4---------------------------->not------------------------------------------------>3

    Those are really different. Could you help me to understand this.
    Thanks a lot

  • InDesign or Acrobat (newbie question)

    Hi,
    I tried posting this in the LiveCycle Designer forum, but I think it's a bit too much of a newbie question:
    Once in a blue moon when I'm at work, someone will ask me if I can add text fields to a PDF form so that they can easily type onto it and print it out. I've always done that directly in Acrobat (on the few occasions that it's been requested from me). But I was curious about Adobe LiveCycle since it came with CS3, so I played around with it a couple of days ago. I added the text fields in LiveCycle this time, and it seems to have worked fine. Which is the better program for this kind of task? I'm not 100% clear on the *main* purposes of either program or how they compare. If anyone wanted to give me a clue about it, I'd appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Phyllis

    > I thought perhaps you could add that capability
    You can (I said I was oversimplifying). However there are contractual
    limits - to oversimplify (!) 500 users per form.
    >Which would be preferable -- receiving form data from LiveCycle or Acrobat?
    It depends what you want to do.
    >
    >I wish I knew what the difference was between these two programs. Is it purely a matter of emphasis on one task or another?
    They come to the same problem in different ways. For a simple task
    they may seem pretty much the same. Some differences:
    * A form made in Acrobat is a PDF with form fields stuck on top; it
    remains a normal PDF in every other way. Forms are almost always made
    by preparing an existing PDF, then adding form fields.
    * A form made in Designer is barely a PDF. It's a wrapper round an XML
    file. You can no longer edit it in Acrobat, ever, even for the most
    simple things. PDF files are imported and converted (sometimes with
    loss of quality or features), or forms are made from scratch.
    * Acrobat form fields are fixed size.
    * Designer form layout can be dynamic.
