What GUI environment/toolkit is used by Acrobat programmers?

I have a GUI application that resembles Acrobat at first glance, to the point that people have suggested that it should have been developed as a set of plugins. Upon closer examination, however, one realizes that the similarity is only skin deep. To begin with, the files handled are not even PDF, they are TIFF files. I also have a palette that looks like Photoshop's.
In any event, I *really* like the look and feel of Acrobat, specially the floating and docking toolbars. I would like to request recommendations about any toolkit (commercial or otherwise, or perhaps Windows already provides all I need?) that allows me to exhibit such cool and professional looking behavior.
If there is a better newsgroup(s) to post this, I am glad to hear about them.
Thanks,
-RFH
ps: I hope Adobe won't sue me. :-)

Adobe uses it's own internally developed libraries.

  • What GUI to use web application designer in BI 7.0 without support package

    I use BI in my ECC 6.0 system.
    I use tried both GUI 7.1 and GUI 6.40 to logon web application designer.
    But system display the message please logon to a Netweaver BI 7.x system. System A11 does not have a mimumium version required 7007.
    My system seems to be 7000, so what GUI is suitable to use for WAD?
    Thanks
    Giang

    Hi,
    It could be problem with either Support package which you are using for BI or Front end patch which you need to install for GUI.
    please check with minimal installations and let me know with current support package and FEP you are using.

  • Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

    Hi,
    I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
    This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

    I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
    A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

  • Am I licensed to use the Acrobat Standard XI bundled with Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner in business environment?

    Dear Sir/ Madam,
    Am I licensed to use the Acrobat Standard XI bundled with Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner in business environment?
    I just bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner. It comes with an Acrobat Standard XI and a product key. My understanding is that many Adobe product licence keys (e.g. educational version, home use version) are not allowed to use in business environments. My bundled Acrobat Standard XI does not state that it is limited for educational or home use on the CD. Am I licensed to install it in my office computer for business use? Is there anyway for me to review the licensing conditions of my product key?
    Thank you very much for your advice in advance!
    William

    Adobe software purchased appropriately can be used in any environment the licensed user has. There is no restriction (at least in the USA) on educational customers using the educational license for professional use. I am unaware of any home use versions of Adobe software. There are versions of Adobe software that are directed toward non-professionals (for example Premiere or Photoshop Elements), but there are no restrictions to using in a business as long as it is used by the person it was purchased for (one license-one user). Years ago other countries had different license agreements, but in today’s environment, I do not believe that is the case for current versions of Adobe software. So, yes you can use it in your business. In fact, Fujitsu Scanners like the ScanSnap are geared towards the business user. I am a very happy user of their 1500M scanner (which while designed for a Mac, came with Acrobat Standard software :-)

  • What custom desktop environment do you use?

    I know one of the reasons I love arch is that you get to build a system from the ground up--you get to build your own desktop environment out of whatever login manager/window manager/file manager/etc you want.
    I'm still experimenting with openbox and slim, so I'm just wondering what everyone else is using to make their computer "their" computer. What's your custom desktop environment built from? Maybe this will be a good starting place for other noobs (like myself), who want to be able to replace gnome or kde without losing all the features.
    btw, what office tools are you using? I don't really like openoffice, and I really don't like abiword.
    thanks for sharing!

    I am a gnome > xfce > lxde-ish > nothing-in-particular convert, so my post will be rather GTK-biased
    Panel-wise...I threw together the visibility iconbox/desktop manager thing and two tweaked dzen scripts (power status and time). It's not so much a panel as it is two blocks in the corners and a large gap in the middle where I can middle click.
    I use gmrun in lieu of Gnome's alt-F2 run dialog. I found that lxtask was a decent task manager. Seems to be unusually CPU-heavy for a task manager, though. I prefer htop. I use hardinfo for computer specs when I can't be bothered to look up the right commands.
    As far as office tools go, I keep Openoffice around for compatibility and those times when vim+latex or geany+latex is overkill. I like gnumeric as a spreadsheet program.
    I use alsamixer to control sound and nitrogen for backgrounds. No login manager here. I just xinit in my ~/.bash_profile . I've installed a lot of browsers for testing (I do a bit of web design), but I generally use uzbl, midori when uzbl doesn't work, and firefox when midori doesn't work.
    Somewhere up there, jasonwryan mentioned the LnF thread. It might be worth also checking out the Crunchbang distro's applications list. The list is not as, well, light and fast, but it does have quite a few not-heavy desktop environment-independent apps.

  • I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out?  Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

    I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document.  I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed.  Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc....  Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
    Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
    Greatly appreciated.

    Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

  • What system properties does JavaFX use?

    What system properties does JavaFX use, what are their value options and what do they do?
    Do system properties used by JavaFX vary across platforms?
    Will the JavaFX system properties continue to work in future JavaFX versions?
    Example properties are => -Dprism.lcdtext=false, -Dprism.order=j2d
    I'm only interested in properties specific to JavaFX, not generic to the Java environment or JDK/JVM implementation.
    If there is some documentation I missed, please just point me to a link to that.

  • Using Adobe Acrobat XI, uploaded my form from my Word. How do I format spaces for SSN, DOB, Phone number?

    I'm trying to create a new client form how do I format the spaces numerically for DOB, SSN and phone number??? HELP! Can I do this on Adobe Acrobat XI????

    Not sure what you mean by uploaded form. Did you print to the Adobe PDF printer, use the Save As Adobe PDF, use Save As PDF or XPS, use the Acrobat menu in WORD, or try to open the word file in Acrobat directly? Assuming you printed to the Adobe PDF printer, then you select the TOOLS>Interactive and select the Form Wizard. Otherwise, you simply use the tools under the interactive menu. You might find the following video useful: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-pdf-forms-from-existing-documents. The form tools are under the interactive menu (I could give better direction if I was at home where I have AA XI).

  • How do I create a PDF form for submission that can be used by Acrobat Reader only users?

    I am attempting to create a PDF document in Acrobat Pro with fields that can be submitted (via email) by users using only Acrobat Reader.
    I have tried changing the properties of the 'Submit' button, although I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Can anyone please help?
    C.

    I created a form using Adobe LiveCycle and added the submit via e-mail button. One change which I made was in the XML script I changed submission type to pdf, so that thepdf form itself would be e-mailed. This works fine if I use Adobe Pro 8, but when I tried the same using only Adobe Reader 7.0, it would not let me e-mail the form along with a message "This operation is not permitted".
    Any comments?
    Thanks

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

  • What is the result of using the "post tax payable" option in the advance ta

    what is the result of using the "post tax payable" option in the advance tax report - program rfumsv00? I know it will then post the input and output tax to the tax payable GL account. But from point of view of reporting, when you run the advance tax report, will there be any change after doing this posting to tax payable account?

    Basic communication aside, J2EE is mostly a synchronous run-time environment. When asynchrony is introduced, a whole new set of infrastructure requirements is needed to support QoS and commercial-quality implementations. In other words, it's not just about API anymore, it's about reliable communication, exception handling, time outs, etc. You may want to look at this Q&A to see some of the benefits provided by J2EE as underlying run-time for orchestration:

  • Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

    I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

    I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
    1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
    2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
    3. If it's a browser
    (a) what is the browser
    (b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?
