Running Adobe AIR applications without having Adobe AIR installed

Is running Adobe AIR applications without having Adobe AIR
installed possible?
Why wouldn`t it be?
And if not, when will it be possible?
Thank you.

There's no technical way this could be possible. It's like a
.swf playing without the Flash Player installed, or a Java applet
without the Java Virtual Machine. Or even like a Windows
application running without Windows. :)
There are, however, 3rd party wrappers out there to turn AIR
apps into native OS apps (basically it wraps the AIR Runtime inside
a native OS executable, like .exe). One that I can name off the top
of my head is the Shu wrapper. This is like the old school Flash
projectors, like Zinc and mProjector. The user doesn't have to
install anything to run native executables.
I would be surprised if Adobe has any plans to make an
executable wrapper for AIR, but I don't know anything. I would like
to see .air files be able to run in the AIR Runtime without having
to actually install the .air package, though.

Is there a way that I can view Adobe indesign files without having Adobe indesigner on my Mac

I often get sent Adobe indesign files, but I am unable to view these because I do not have the software installed on my Mac. I wondered if anyone knew of any software that would enable me to view these files. I do not need to edit these files and only need to view them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Alice

Hi,
Many thanks for your response to my question. This does seem a way around the problem.
Today I was sent indesign files from a designer and I wasn't able to check they were the right version, so I passed them on for them to be printed and then found out they were the wrong version when I got the PDF back for me to approve by the print house.
Thanks again
Alice

Using X11 applications without having xorg-server installed.

Hello,
I have 2 computers in my network: one is a powerful 8 CPU SPARC, the second is quite old and has 4 slow CPUs. I'd like to run graphical applications on this slow server (logging into it via ssh, server doesn't have either vga nor monitor, it's usable only via console login and ssh), but I would like this powerful computer to be a X11 server - it should work with all those graphical programs that I will run on slow computer. Is it possible (if yes, I would be glad if you tell me how) to remove X11 server software from slow computer (leaving there only client apps, like mozilla, xclock, etc.) and configure it in this way, that this powerful computer will handle all X11 requests?
Thanks for help,
Konrad

Just don't start an X server on the slow one.
Then you could either ssh into the machine and run programs with your display explicitly set to the other machine.
(Only necessary if you're not using SSH X forwarding)
fast_machine$ xhost slow_machine
slow_machine being added to access control list
fast_machine$ ssh slow_machine
slow_machine$ echo $DISPLAY
(If set, run your programs. If not set, set it explicitly)
slow_machine$ export DISPLAY=fast_machine:0
slow_machine$ xterm

Help! Run AIR Applications without Adobe AIR.

Hello, I wanted to ask that is there any way to run AIR applications without having Adobe AIR in the computer. It's really annoying when you have to give someone your application to use and then the person needs Adobe AIR to run it. Any suggestions?

Where to start...
AIR is a lot like Java in the sense that it requires a run-time engine to be installed. This engine has all "things" required to for the application to run. In a similar way, applications such as 3DMax or Word require that the operating system be present for them to run. Those programs are written using API calls that are present within the target operating system. Likewise, AIR and Java apps are written using API calls that are present within their run-time. To bring it full circle, AIR is an application written in C, that uses APIs for the target operating system. So, when you perform certain functions within AIR, it then knows how to execute needed operating system functions (as needed). AIR also provides a lot of higher level functionality and management that make your life as a programmer a lot simpler.
Looking at iOS or Android, we have the same thing happening. Some developers are writing apps using Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) that are using APIs specific to those operating systems. This is the same as writing your app in C like 3DMax.

Air programs without having flash

Can you run Air programs without having flash
installed?

If you're on Windows and are just looking to write a program
with an HTML interface and Javascript for the application logic,
Microsoft invented something much like AIR about 8 years ago called
HTML Applications (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536496.aspx).
It's basically a web page with one special tag at the top to set
some application-like properties for the main window, named with a
.hta suffix so Windows knows to open it with IE.
The technology hasn't moved forward since the days of IE4,
except of course that the base rendering engine has gotten a lot
more powerful. You also lose out on cross-platform compatibility,
and to get the single-file download-and-install behavior you get
for free with AIR, you'll have to separately build some kind of
installer, like an MSI. In an HTA, all of IE's security features
are turned off, so you can do things like access COM objects to use
more powerful APIs than a web app normally has access to. Through
that interface, you can do all the same sorts of local file and DB
access that AIR can do.
Bottom line, you can think of HTAs as "AIR Lite for Windows".
AIR is portable and, on the whole, a lot more powerful, but if you
can tolerate its limits, it can be a good solution.

How to run java application without having java environment in a machine

can i run java application without having java environment(JVM) in a machine.I mean i dont have installed j2se or jdk in my machine.And i have an j2ee application running on another host which is built in swings.I want to access that application in my machine
can any one help regarding my problem

If you only need to access the program from one machine and you are running a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux, Solaris), you can use the remote display capabilities of X11. In this case you have to choose the host where the app will be displayed when you start it:
$ DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
$ java ...
If you want to be able to display it on both machines at the same time, or if you are using windows, then try something like VNC (http;//www.realvnc.com). Or if you are running windows and your version supports it, you can use windows remote desktop.

Can I get rid of a windows partition on a MacBook running 10.4.11 without having bootcamp or bootcamp beta?

Can I get rid of a windows partition on a MacBook running 10.4.11 without having bootcamp or bootcamp beta? If so, how?

Yes, I think so, as would Snow Leopard probably. If your computer meets the requirements it would only cost $29 to buy Snow Leopard versus $129 for Leopard.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Leopard System requirements
You must have a Macintosh computer with:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

Is there some way of getting adobe to work without having to download a document first, then adobe will show the pages.

Hello,
I am trying to find out what I can do, to get adobe to open up a pdf file so that I can read all pages, without having to download the document first. I get the first page only; then I download and have access to all pages. Then I delete. Seems like such a long process. Is there another way? Do I need to download a different adobe?
Thanks for your help.

How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
See if you can open that document on your laptop now.
