Question on PDF Distiller or Creator for Development

I am looking at creating a program and would like to know a couple of things about the PDF Distiller or Creator API.  First do you have to have Acrobat Pro installed on the server to use the APIs.  I am a little new to the newer versions of Acrobat, but I did have experience with Acrobat 4.01 where I believe that I did need the Pro version to use most of the APIs.  Is there a way to get the Distiller Library alone without the Pro Edition?

You need Acrobat installed in order to use the APIs in the Acrobat SDK - however, section 2.3 of the Acrobat EULA forbids it from being used on a server, so you cannot use Acrobat SDK applications on a server.

You can buy Distiller Server.  It is a seperate product from Acrobat (which includes Distiller, not Distiller Server) and designed to run on a server as part of an automated workflow.

  • Question about buying a new macbook for developing

    I am looking to buy a macbook for iOS mobile app development. My current macbook is a 2010 white macbook 250GB storage and 2GB memory. It is full of music videos and everything else I have downloaded in the past 5 yeaIt will only be for using Xcode and browsing the internet. I am looking at a Macbook Air or Pro but I don't know exactly how much power I will need. What macbook would best suit my needs?

    For me there is always  something else I need to get the job done besides what I had originally planned to use. So have extra resources to include this is alway helpful. You may not suffer the same problem as I do.
    Besides when I am in the development mode, the last thing I want is for the computer I am working on to slow down. For me this is a terrible distraction and could be the reason I do my developmental work on a Mac Pro. But then you might not be as sensitive to computer speed as I am. I have been told i am hypersensitive to computer speed.

  • Font Embedding Question in PDF exported from PageMaker v7

    I am having difficulty embedding the majority of my fonts in PDFs exported from PageMaker v7. When exporting to PDFs, a "cannot embed font" error is generated.
    Technical Details:
    The fonts I have are ALL LEGAL, and were purchased with complete licenses when required.
    The fonts properties show them to be completely embedable, with no restrictions in terms of installation, etc.
    The fonts can be placed and embedded in PDFs from all other programs I've attempted this with (Illustrator, Acrobat, MSWord, WordPerfect, etc.).
    Disclaimer:
    Yes, I know PageMaker is old, and yes, I am in the process of upgrading to Creative Sutie (although, as an aside, it is extremely disappointing that even a token discount is not offered to those who have purchased every Adobe and MacroMedia software package in the past, but I digress...). However, several of my clients require PageMaker files (for a variety of reasons I won't go into here).
    Thank you in advance for any advice on what might be the underlying problem.

    When generating PDF output from Pagemaker, I've used 2 methods:
    1. File>Export>PDF
    This method works fine for a limited number of fonts (AGaramond for example), which is why I started this post. Bob Levine had suggested using Distiller instead.
    2. File>Printer Styles>Acrobat
    I usually used this method when an offset printer requires crop marks, since the other method does not provide an option for crop marks.
    This opens a window with numerous options, the pertinent ones to my question are:
    Printer: New 2002 PPD for Adobe PS Driver on file
    PPD: Adobe PDF 3015.102
    Postscript: Download Fonts (3 options):
         None
         True Type and Type 1
         True Type Only
    When I choose download "True Type and Type 1", I get the same "cannot embed font" error if I use most of my fonts (with the exception of a few that work).
    When I choose NONE for the option, the PS file is generated without errors.
    Once the .ps file is generated, I then use Distiller 4 to open the file and output PDF file.
    If I used "True Type and Type 1" for download font option, and the font does not generate an error, the PDF file is fine.
    If I used "NONE" for download font option, when I open the PDF, it indicates that the fonts are embedded. However, since I do not download the font, I am nervous that this might cause problems when I go to an offset printer.
    I do not print to a file using a printer driver (for example Linotype, Acrobat, etc.). The 2 processes I've used seem to be independent of what the default printer is on the operating system (XP).
    Thanks!

  • Which is the best and user freindly IDE for developing Java GUI application

    Please advice me if there is any good IDE for developing all kind of Java applications.
    I m confused about which IDE to use.
    I have Searched on Net also. and most of the answers i found was for JBuilder and JBoss.
    But cant confirm until u guys suggest me.
    Because i think this is the best place to ask questions about java.
    Please advice

    If you're developing JSPs and Servlets....
    I've found that using Eclipse (which is free) coupled with the MyEclipse plug-in (an advanced J2EE specific plug-in which costs $29.99USD/year) was the best for me. I've tried several free J2EE Eclipse plug-ins, didn't like them. Wasn't a big fan of NetBeans either, but I liked it tons better than the other Eclipse plug-ins.
    Therefore, IMHO for free I'd go with NetBeans, for a small fee I'd go with Eclipse/MyEclipse plug-in.
    If you are new to J2EE but not to Java, you may want to consider going straight to JSF and Sun's Java Studio Creator. This is not free, but the fee is one-time and development is (mostly) visual using Java Studio Creator.

    My form has a list of yes or no questions.  I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons.  Unfortunatly I can't make it work.  When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions.  If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later.  Need immediate help!!!

    Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
    For example, if you had:
         Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
    Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
    Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
    I hope that helps,

  • Do I need a separate iPhone for development?

    Hello fellow developers,
    I'm excited that I'm finally accepted to the dev program so I can test my app on my iPhone. Before I start testing, I have a couple of questions though. Do I need a dedicated iPhone device for the development? or is it possible to use my only iPhone for both development and personal use?
    Another question is, I've read that I need to install an iPhone OS on my device. Given that I have updated my iPhone today with the latest official 2.0 firmware, do I still need to install another binary for the development?
    Cheers,
    Jake

    1) I use my iPhone both for development and personal use. The last few beta updates have been pretty stable so personal use is possible and is not as annoying as it used to be. However, you should expect some performance issues (mostly due to extensive logging and probable debug builds) and unexpected crashes since the releases were still beta (point 2 might affect this).
    2) I haven't been able to update my iPhone to the latest gold master v2.0 of the iPhone firmware yet. Since I already have v2.0 beta 8 installed, iTunes doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between the two versions. According to the information available on the development portals, we should be able to use the GM firmware for development purposes, which imho would be awesome!

  • Best practice for developing with CRM 2013 (On Premises)

    Hello all.  I'm just starting to work with CRM, and I have some questions that hopefully will be simple for the seasoned developers.  It's mostly just some best practice or general how-to questions for the group.
    - When creating a new Visual Studio CRM Project I can connect to my CRM Instance and create new WebResources which deploy to the CRM instance just fine, but how can I pull all the existing items that are in the CRM Solution into the Visual Studio CRM project?
     Or do I need to export the solution to a ZIP, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe, then copy these into my Visual Studio project to get it into sync?
    - When multiple developers are working on changes is it best to keep everything in a Visual Studio project as I mentioned above, or is it better for everyone to have their own instance of CRM to code with so they can Export/Import solutions as needed then
    these solutions be manually merged before moving into a common Test/QA environment?
    - When modifying the submenu on a CRM form is it suggested to use Ribbon Workbench or is it better/easier to just export the solution, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe,  modify ribbondiff and anything else required for the change, package it
    back up, then reimport to CRM?  I've heard from some that Ribbon Workbench has some limitations, but being green I wasn't sure what those limitations might be or if it'd be best to just manually make these changes.  Or is thre any way to have a copy
    of ribbondiff in Visual Studio and deploy this without having to repackage the Solution and Import in the ZIP?
    I think that's it for now :)  Thanks for any advise or suggestions.  I really want to start learning the in's and out's of CRM and how all the pieces fit together.  Also can someone direct me to some documentation or books that might give
    more insight on developing for CRM 2013 or 2015 (moving to this soon)?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Sam
    Also interested in best practice around this area - especially recommended development routes, unit testing, continuous integration etc - it would be great if you posted here if you find any good articles etc. At the moment we tend to just push changes
    onto a live system as and when appropriate and I'd prefer to move away from that...
    Thanks

  • Not able to release normal change document for development

    Hello All
    We have Implemented ChaRM in SolMan 7.1 SP10
    Have created the Project and activated Charm with required DEV/QA/PRD logical component and before creating the Maintenance cycle, we did a check in the project which showed all green..
    We are able to create a request for Change and go till the approval, when we try to change the status to release for development, it is throwing the below error and not letting us go further.
    We have checked the MC phase, and it is in phase Dev with release.
    Project is in IN PROCESS state.
    IBASE and Component details are correct.
    Tried to put back to Validation and re tried for Development and this did not work.
    Until unless change document created successfully, we cannot go ahead even though MC phase is in DEV with release.
    I have seen few blogs and I have checked below steps
    system roles in SMSY
    Landscape system info
    Changed MC phase to DEV with release
    Strange why it is not allowing to create change document ???
    Please assist
    Thanks
    Sateesh.

    Hello,
    Three consistency checks are performed when you choose action "release for development" (resulting in the SMCR's status "being implemented"):
    PROJECT_ASSIGNED: Project is Assigned
    SYSTEM_EXIST: System assigned to collective change request
    FOLLOW_ON_GEN_OK: Change Documents Can be Created
    In case any of these checks fails, the SMCR's status returns to "approved".
    These same consistency check are also checked when the SMCR status is set to "approved". The behavior for a failed check, however, is different in this case. Just a warning message is shown on the top of the screen and the "approved" status can be set.
    Question 1: When you set the SMCR to "approved", those warnings are shown too?
    Perhaps there is something wrong with the assigned project.
    Check if the assigned logical component has the correct systems/clients.
    Check if the transport tracks between the systems listed in the logical component are working.
    Question 2: When you assign the scope (change type, in your case, Normal Change), some system data from the production system defined in the logical component are automatically filled (System, Client, Configuration Item, etc). Is this happening?
    Regards,
    Daniel

  • Questions about PDF exporting with InDe CS5.5

    Hey all,
    A couple questions about exporting to PDF from the latest version of InDe.
    First, I have noticed that it seems to take a lot longer to get to a PDF. Any suggestions for how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes or so to generate a low-res PDF (for print) of a 24pp document with a few placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long time to wait, especially for a proof.
    Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
    (As an aside, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF seems kind of weird. Generally one makes a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when all the changes have been made and everything is "final". So, I see no benefit to being able to work on my document while it's making a PDF, as I'm probably finished making revisions for the time being. I have to say that I kind of like the progress bar you get when you make an interactive PDF, as you know you can't work on the document when that's on the screen... )
    Thanks as always.

    Yes, this is abnormally long (and too long), something is wrong. What's the full version of InDesign you are running, as reported by holding down Cmd or Control and selecting About InDesign?
    Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
    Saving is not related. InDesign makes a database snapshot of your document the moment you begin the PDF export, and makes the export relative to that snapshot, regardless of edits you continue to make during the export process, and regardless of saving. Of course saving first is a good idea, for several reasons, not the least of which it sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong with your document or your InDesign installation.
    We recommend you trash your preferences and export your document to IDML and see if either of those things changes this 8-minute behavior...err, assuming you're running 7.5.2.318.

    Yeah, I think the primary benefit is if you are likely to work on 2 or more files in parallel, so you can finish A and export A and then switch to B. If you'd like a dialog box to pop up when export is done, check out my exportPop script from this post: ANN: automatic dialog after background export (exportPop.jsx.

  • Most useful (and difficult too) certification -for developer

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement that - i need to recommend to my management about a very useful certification - one that marks a quite high level of skill too. and this is for Development track -not on DBA track. The release is at least Oracle 10g . Which one would fit this need? They flatly tell me that ocp is just so easy and they want to find a better one.
    Is Oracle expert on Pl/sql the one that is best choice based on this need? (we don't use oracle application developer so , while I know there is a certificaiton there, it is not relevant to us).
    thanks

  • Print PDF without embedded fonts (for USPTO)

    I need to print PDFs that can be uploaded to the US PTO, and for them to be compatible they must not have any embedded fonts. I am using the Acrobat XI Distiller with the configuration file downloaded directly from the PTO website http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/portal/efs/uspto.joboptions, but the fonts are still being embedded. Is there any way to get the PDF distiller to not embed any fonts?

    The .joboptions file that your posting points to very specifically requests that all fonts be embedded, subsetted!!! 
    Thus, if you are using these joboptions to produce PDF, you are getting exactly what the joboptions call for.
    If someplace on the US Patent and Trademark Office website is telling you to not embed fonts and then provides these joboptions, then they are giving you conflicting information! 
    However, searching that website, I found instructions for PDF file creation such as at <EFS-Web PDF Guidelines> and the attached PDF file from the website.
    In fact, the US Patent and Trademark Office absolutely requires that you embed all fonts.
