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.

How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

Hi all,
I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?
Sreejesh K V

Hi,
I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.

Joe

Where can I download the plugins for Acrobat Reader X

In particular, the plugin called: "weblink" is not loaded causing all live links in pdfs being read by the Reader to not work in a browser.

The plugins are part of the Adobe Reader X installation.

How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
Thanks

PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you. You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

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

According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...
Thanks again Pat, but apologies, as I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

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.

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.

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.

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
