Pro vs Standard

I'm using the trial of Acrobat Pro X and trying to decide if I need it or can get by with the Standard version. When I look at the product comparison, the main difference for me is the inclusion of the Livecycle Designer with Pro. I don't think the other differences really matter to me. However, it seems that the Livecycle Designer makes editing existing pdf files much easier. It seems to be a pain to try to edit text in Acrobat, especially if you add a few words and try to keep the formatting. The Designer seems to be much easier. I also exported a pdf to Word and edited there, but again it seemed to lose some of the formatting (lost bold text for one thing) but seemed to keep the spacing better when adding text.
I guess my question is am I missing something somewhere to edit an existing pdf or would Livecycle Designer be worth the extra money. Unfortunately, I don't qualify for educational, nor does my older version (5) qualify for upgrade pricing.
Appreciate any help and opinions.
Thanks,
Dennis

George,
Thanks for responding. I'm probably not real sure about what I am doing.
I'm running the 30 day trial now and trying to figure out how things work.
I've looked at the comparison of the Standard and the Pro and the only
difference for me is the inclusion of Designer. As far as what I know, the
other differences wouldn't matter. There is a big difference in price if I
don't need Designer.
I do have Microsoft Publisher and have created a couple of pdf's out of
those files and brought them into Acrobat and used the Forms section for the
interaction. In your opinion, would Publisher be able to accomplish pretty
much the same as Designer?
I also have a couple of existing pdf's that I've downloaded that I need to
customize. They are some wedding photo contracts, release forms, etc for my
photography work. It seems to be easier to do that in Designer, but there's
a big chance I'm going about it the wrong way in Acrobat. I did use Acrobat
to convert one to a Word doc and then use MS Word to edit and then imported
it back to Acrobat for a pdf.
In your opinion, would the easiest way to customize those existing pdf's be
to save them as a Word doc, edit, and then import back into Acrobat to use
the Form fields?
Thanks for helping me out.

SDK support in Pro and Standard editions.

Hi,
I want to convert PDF file into DOCX programatically. I have written the code using Acrobat SDK and tried with Acrobat X Pro trial version, and it works fine. I just want to confirm whether Acrobat X Standard edition supports exporting PDF to DOCX via SDK? and whether my code will work in Standard edition.
Also, want to know whether there are any differences between Pro and Standard editions in terms of SDK support.
With regards,
Pinakin Purandare

Hi,
Apologies for missing the code.
Below is the code:
            AcroPDDoc pdDocument = new AcroPDDocClass();
            if (pdDocument != null)
                try
                    // Open PDF file.
                    result = pdDocument.Open(location);
                    if (result)
                        // If PDF file is opened then get the docx file name.
                        string docxFileName = string.Concat(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(location), ".docx");
                        docxFileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetFullPath(tempPath), docxFileName);
                        try
                            object jsObject = pdDocument.GetJSObject();
                            Type type = jsObject.GetType();
                            type.InvokeMember("saveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jsObject,
                                new object[] { docxFileName, "com.adobe.acrobat.docx" });
                        finally
                            pdDocument.Close();
                            pdDocument = null;
                finally
                    pdDocument = null;
I have gone through the feature list of Standard edition on Acrobat site and it mentions that it has feature of exporting it to Word. But since I was not able to find trial version of standard version, I am not able to test the code.
I want to make the decision on buying the edition based on the export to DOCX feature programatically. Hence wanted to confirm.

Visio Pro 2013 keeps asking if I want to install Pro or Standard. OCT Admin File

I have created an Admin file to install Visio 2013 Pro. When I run SETUP.EXE it prompts to select either PRO or STANDARD. I only want it to install Pro without prompting the user. This is for an automated install. I am using KMS.
How can I force it to install PRO every time?
Thanks.

Try to run configuration.xml file to define the Visio 2013 Pro setup.

I assume you have the S/Ns. The download is at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Be sure to backup the download to CD or backup HD for future use.

Acrobat v9 Pro and Standard Runtime Error!

My company recently got in the CD's from Adobe for Acrobat 9 Professional and Acrobat 9 Standard.
I installed Acrobat 9 Pro on one of our systems. The system got a runtime error every time Adobe Acrobat started citing "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusal way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Initially, I thought it was an issue with that system. So, I installed Acrobat Standard on two other systems. Both units get the same error.
Of the 3 units 2 are identical IBM workstations with some different software installed. 1 is an HP system. The OS is a fairly clean Windows XP SP2 otherwise very stable installation.
I searched Adobe forums and here but haven't come across much version 9 questions/comments.
Initially, I was going to fully uninstall Acrobat and try the installation again. However, now that 2 other systems are getting the same error, I feel it would be a waste of time.
Any ideas on what to look for to resolve this issue?
Previous version was the latest v8 which 9 uninstalled.
Thanks in advance!
-Dean
EDIT: I did come across this for version 8 and tried the same fix with 9, but to no effect:

C++ Runtime error after launching Acrobat or Adobe Reader 8 on Windows
Issue
When you launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Professional, or Adobe Reader 8 on Windows, an error occurs:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Solution
Disable the Updater.api plug-in.
Navigate to where Acrobat or Adobe Reader is installed, usually
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins
or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins
Rename the Updater.api plug-in to Updater.api.old
Relaunch Acrobat or Reader.

So here is the flaw... Since i dont see many people saying WHAT the flaw is.
==== THIS IS WITH ROAMING PROFILE CRASHES! ====
Adobe's program iterates the network path from left to right, skipping the first word: \\Server\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\APPLICATION DATA as it searches a user's profile for the APPLICATION DATA folder.
So starting at FOLDER1 it checks to see if it can "create" a folder. It doesnt do it, but it tries to check its access. If your not in the users profile at this point, the program MOST LIKELY cannot because its a directory NOT owned by the user. THe previous folders is something you wouldn't give NORMAL users access to.
After the program FAILS to "create" its folder because it cannot -
The program Crashes:
*R6025 - Pure Virtual function call
* The exception unknown software exception (0x40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x2e80f5e3
* C++ runtime error
* WINDOWS NAME Collision error.
=== ITS ALL OF THESE! Same error, different points in the crashing ===
Solution?
I create a network drive DIRECTLY to the profile, then I update the registery to make that the WINDOWS APPDATA path. ALL of this is done on the user logon scripts. So it was just "solved" one day, except for a new drive letter appearing.
(Added to login script)
net use l: \\SERVER\USER PROFILE TREE\USER PROFILE
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v AppData /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "l:\Application Data" /f
For our work we use: \\SERVER\USER PROFILE TREE\%USERNAME%\%COMPUTERNAME% - so each user has SEPERATE data per computer they are on.
ADOBE - PLEASE update your code so it doesnt iterate like this! If it does RESUME on error, to see if its recoverable before the END of the interation. These are simple mistakes...
THIS will also fix the SIMILAR / SAME(?) BUG in ROXIO products.

Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

Hello,
at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
There is an image attached.
But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
Greetings from Munich
Sebastian

The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

Pro or Standard for digital signatures

You need Pro.

Choosing a Macbook Pro '13 - standard or retina?

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro '13 soon but I have a few questions I need to ask before I make a decision.
I'm buying a mbp because I really need a new computer and I'm mainly because I'm already thinking I'll probably need one when I start my master's degree which will probably involve editing video/image/sound.
Having that in consideration, I'm not sure which Macbook Pro would be best for me - the standard or the retina version.
On the pro-retina side there's the ssd memory which makes the computer much more fast. But it has a major disadvantage for me: the capacity is very low. Considering that I'll be working with videos and images, even the 256 GB ssd memory may not be enough for me (and I cannot afford the 512GB version).
I had people telling me to buy the standard version because even though it can be slower, it has a 500 GB hdd which is important for the use I'll be giving to the mcp and also, it is much cheaper which is good for me.
But my brother told me that it is better to "sacrifice" the capacity because ssd memories have a lot of advantages. He also said that I can then replace the optical drive with a second internal hard drive which could be the 500GB hhd. Is this true?
I have an external hard drive with plenty of capacity and my brother told me I could still edit my videos having the files there but I'm afraid that won't work very well.
I'm guessing that even if I can replace the optical drive with an hdd, the warranty would become void, right?
He also said that a 4GB RAM is no longer a good choice, so that is one more reason to go for the retina version which has a 8GB RAM.
Can anyone advise me on this? I really don't know what I should go for.
Thank you in advance

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, the portuguese apple store doesn't have anything on the refurbished MBP's page
I absolutely cannot afford the 15" because my budget is below 1500€ which is approximately the cost of the MBP Retina 13" (256 GB SSD).
You may be allowed to buy from a Spanish or French store, but I suggest you check the rules and policies.

For now, my external hard drive is a Western Digital Ultra 1TB with a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 interface. Since I would spend all my budget on the MBP, I would have to stick with this hard drive for a while before I can buy a better one.
As long you find it adequate for your needs, it is not necessary to upgrade it.

would you mind to explain shortly what a Fusion drive is? How can you merge an internal drive with an external hard drive?
You may want to read this link Mac mini (Late 2012), iMac (Late 2012 and later): About Fusion Drive . A Fusion drive is a merged version of two drives, which Apple also calls CoreStorage. Typically, a faster drive (SSD) and a slower drive (HDD) is combined into a single 'logical volume' and the filesystem moves blocks of data between the SSD and HDD parts based on frequency of use and other factors. These two work in tandem to provide better performance. Apple officially does not support using an external drive as part of a Fusion Drive, But you can build one yourself, and newer versions (Mavericks and newer) automatically can detect a SSD/HDD combination and will create a Fusion drive, if both the drives are unused. It is also possible to manually create one between two drives. Please see http://blog.macsales.com/15617-creating-your-own-fusion-drive as an example.

And what do you mean by a good backup strategy? Backup for the video projects?
You want to maintain regular backups of your Mac and important files. The easiest method is to use Time Machine and an external drive. In your case, it will be a third drive and you can select what you want to back up from your Projects. Please see Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac

Want to upgrade to Pro from Standard.

I have Acrobat XI Standard and want to upgrade to Pro. I can't find any info on their website as to how to buy this upgrade. Help?

It's only some 13" 2010 models that can handle 16GB... for the 15"+ only 8GB.
Be certain to purchase the correct RAM for your machine. Crucial and OWC are the brands that most of us rely on.
Good luck,

On the right side at the bottom click on the button 'Select Default PDF Handler'
Select 'Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro' from the list and click on 'Ok'.
Acrobat will be set now as the default application for all the pdfs.

Does macbook pro come standard with iPhoto?

I have a macbook pro. Still new to it. I have had several people tell me that it should come standard with iLife, which iPhoto is included. I can't find this on my laptop and am frustrated that I may have to pay extra for something I feel should come standard. Help

ILife is included with all new MBP purchases:
Call Apple support for the appropriate redemption codes. I did.
Ciao.

It depends in part on what graphic card it is attached to. And if you have 2nd monitor.
