Preview or Sample Book using Adobe Content Server 4.0

We are using Adobe Content Server 4 to process PDF files into ebooks. Now we want to provide Preview or Sample books of these ebooks. By Preview I meant, lesser pages per chapter so that user can read some content of the book and if he/she likes the content then he/she can purchase the complete ebook. I am wondering if there is a way in Adobe Content Server 4.0 that can help us creating these Previews or Sample books. Our limitation is that we want that ACS 4.0 automatically create the preview from the complete book. It means that we do not want to provide PDF with limited number of pages. We want to provide complete PDF file and ACS 4 should automatically select some of the pages to create Preview or Sample ebook. Does Adobe COntent Server 4.0 has such functionality that can help us in creating Sample ebooks or Previews?

Subsetting or creating sample documents is not a feature of ACS4. I would suggest looking at using/creating your own sample creator.

Removing book from Adobe Content Server

Hello.
I would like to remove book from Adobe Content Server. I used answers from that thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/621994 .I successfully removed book from distributor inventory but can not remove it from operator (built-in distributor) inventory. I got this error:
data="E_ADEPT_DATABASE http://acs.authorcloudware.com:8080/admin/ManageResourceKey Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`adept`.`fulfillmentitem`, CONSTRAINT `fulfillmentitem_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`resourceid`) REFERENCES `resourcekey` (`resourceid`))"
How can I delete data from 'fulfillmentitem' table from php script?
Best regards,
Tamara.

Finally, I found a way to remove book from adobe content server. This article Public Knowledge Base helped me a lot.
So, in order to remove book from acs you need to make 4 requests:
- request to admin/ManageDistributionRights with distributor ID
- request to admin/ManageDistributionRights built-in distributor ID
- request to admin/ManageResourceItem
- request to admin/ManageResourceKey
This is how my requests look like:
//Remove book from distributor
<request action='delete' auth='builtin' xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/adept'>
     <nonce>Mjc3MjQzMTI=</nonce>
     <expiration>2014-05-26T09:57:37+00:00</expiration>

          <resource>urn:uuid:cd9879ce-7648-49ad-8202-243a54486938</resource>
     </distributionRights>
</request>
//Remove book from built-in distributor
<request action='delete' auth='builtin' xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/adept'>
     <nonce>MjYzNDA0ODQ=</nonce>

          <resource>urn:uuid:cd9879ce-7648-49ad-8202-243a54486938</resource>
     </distributionRights>
</request>
//Remove Resource Item Info
<request action='delete' auth='builtin' xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/adept'>
     <nonce>MjYxMDgxOTI=</nonce>
     <expiration>2014-05-26T09:57:38+00:00</expiration>
     <resourceItemInfo>
          <resource>urn:uuid:cd9879ce-7648-49ad-8202-243a54486938</resource>
          <resourceItem>0</resourceItem>
     </resourceItemInfo>
</request>
//Remove the resource key
<request action='delete' auth='builtin' xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/adept'>

          <resourceItem>0</resourceItem>
     </resourceKey>
</request>
Value of "resourceItem" tag is important. Actually I didn't find description in documentation what this tag means. I found that this is optional resource item index and that default value is 1. But when I send delete request with 1 in <resourceItem> the last request, which remove resource key, return error. If you know what this tag mean please answer in this thread.

Selling a Book using Adobe eBook Platform.

Looking to sell and a digital book using adobe content server and adobe digital editions and looking to better understand how this process would work? User would pay and then be able to download the ebook to their devices and allow us to control the files rather than sending pure pdf's.

This is the forum for the Adobe FormsCentral product. It is not a support forum for help with downloading e-books.
I suggest you try with the online store where you are trying to buy your book, or with your e-reader manufacturer. Perhaps there is a forum somewhere for users of your device?

Where to create adobe content server trial account?

hi there,
where i create trial server account for adobe content server 4?
is it give me account for sign - in to acs operator client?
thanks.

Hi,
I'm not sure what SDK you're exactly referring to. But you can use server-side actionscrip and an IDE like Adobe Flash Builder/Flash Professional for client side actionscript to develop your two-way application.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thanks,

Suggested User base on Adobe Content Server

I was trying to get some statistics for the supported user base for Adobe Content server 4.01. We have one server Dual Core processor with 4 GB RAM on windows 2008 server. I would like to know what is the load that this server can support during document fulfilment process. We are expecting around 300000 users to download documents from Adobe Content Server in next couple of years and we are trying to see what are ways that we can scaleup the infrastructure to support huge user downloads.
It would be really helpful if some one shares us the concurrent user load supported by Adobe Content Server

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

Using DMS Content server for Archiving HR documents

Hi SAP Gurus,
with the details gathered from the forum we could suggest the client to go for Archiving there Documents for storing there HR related Documents, like Resumes, salary hike litters, leaves etc....
but as we do have DMS here and intending to get a Content server for DMS, can we use the same content server for archiving the HR documents also,
or the other way round if we go a Big archiving server, can we store DMS documents there using it as Content Server,
Thanks and Regards,
Priya S

Yes, you can use the content server. Just create an ArchiveLink Repository on the server and you can use it for HR.

Future Adobe Content Server options

As everyone knows, ACS 3 as a standalone product is no longer available; the official text from website:
"Adobe Content Server 3 is no longer distributed by Adobe as a standalone product. Instead, a number of Adobe Partners, including service providers and content aggregators, offer Content Server protection as a convenient hosted service."
Delivering protected PDF files to our customers through a hosted service (ADEPT or through a partner) is not an option for many reasons. LiveCyle does not appear to be the right solution either.
Can anyone give insight into whether this gap in product offering will be addressed?

Content Server Technology for a special edition of Adobe InDesign CS3 ME
I seek to license Adobe Content Server-like Technology for a special edition of Adobe InDesign CS3 ME in which a user must activate this special edition of Adobe InDesign CS3 ME so that the coponants of special OpenType fonts, InDesign scripts, and keyboard drivers only function together as a group and on a specific hardware configuration. When these software elements are separated and are not joined by this specific hardware configuration, no element functions.
