Which Adobe product do I need to be able to measure off square footage on construction drawings

Acrobat has a measuring tool; you can download a fully functional trial from https://www.acrobat.com/free-trial-download.html
Note: you cannot "upgrade" Reader to Acrobat; they are two different products.

Which Adobe product do I need

We need to be able to programmatically (via C# or VB.Net) create PDF documents as well as join multiple documents together. It needs to be fully automated and the code needs to execute and create the PDF documents on each user's Windows PC.
Do I need Acrobat and the Acrobat SDK? I looked at some information about the SDK and it looks like it's designed to aid you in creating plug-ins for the Acrobat app, not necessarily used to create PDF's from scratch in your .Net code.
Thank you
James

Does it matter if it's Standard or Professional? I've been told that not all of the functionality to create PDF's via the .Net portion of the SDK is "available" in the Standard version.

Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product will enable this?

Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product do I need to do this?

Both Acrobat and Reader 10/11 can, and previous versions of Reader can if the document is enabled to allow it. Mobile versions of Reader can too.

I want to scan typed documents to Word for Mac and change them. Which Adobe product is best for this? This is not my area of expertise. Thank you.

Can someone tell me which Adobe product to use? I'm compiling a manuscript of poems and short stories for a friend, which are typed and handwritten and I need to edit them. Thank you.

Scanning to Word won't do what you want.
You see, a scan of a page is just like a photograph of it. You have photos of letters and stuff, but no actual letters. There is a special process called "optical character recognition" (OCR) which analyses the picture in detail, and decides - hey that pattern of dots looks like it might be a letter A - and that would could be an S... it is difficult and time consuming but if the original is clear then you can get a lot of text text with the need only for careful proof reading.
Check the software which came with the scanner first. It may well offer options for OCR. Yes, Adobe Acrobat Pro can do this, but you have unnecessary complication, because you'll then need to get the text out from Acrobat to begin the tedious process of typesetting each page. To be honest, you might find retyping everything the quickest and most reliable approach. If you aren't already experienced in dealing with long documents in Word you are in for a long haul. Back up a lot, so you don't lose everything due to a mistake.
(I'm assuming you don't want a "facsimile" - a warts-and-all exact copy of each original page, as typed and scribbled, with no changes at all - that would be a different story).

Customising leaflets - which Adobe product is best?

Hi
We have around 250 leaflets that we need to customise quickly for around 100 customers. The customisations are straightforward - placing a logo (jpeg) at the top and some text at the end.
The leaflets themselves are not complicated and follow a standard 2-column design mainly text with two or three illustrations.
I'm not a developer and we're looking for an off-the-shelf solution that is easy to use.
I need some advice on which Adobe product is best for us.
Thanks!

For the time spent learning how to use Illustrator and the cost of it you could probably hire a professional.
If you want to do it yourself for a small company, avoid Adobe all together unless you want to use their 30 day trails - google it for info.
Gimp is good, free, simple. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
And as above, Publisher and Expression design can be OK - generally it's what you do with the software not the software itself.

Which Adobe product should I use ?

Hi!
I'm going to generate, merge and put a waterstamp on PDF's. I want to do that from C# code on a 64-bit server. There is no need for a GUI.
Which Adobe product can help me do hat ?

Wiggur

Hi Wiggur!!
All you said is possilbe by creating Actions in Acrobat X. That will be a silent process and will do everything automatically. Installation of Acrobat on servers depends on the license that you purchase. But certainly you can do that. That will be a silent process and you can call those actions by any programming language, i guess!

Which Adobe product can create a PDF that cannot be altered or printed by the recipient?

Hi quoman,
It sounds like you're asking how to add security to a PDF file. You'll need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do that. If you don't have Acrobat, you may try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

What Adobe product do I need in order to be able to flatten a pdf document so that my comment/stamps appear when I send to clients.

If your clients are opening the file with Adobe Reader, they should show even if not flattened.
If they are not and you absolutely need to flatten them, maybe the pre-press tools in Adobe Acrobat would work for you.

Hi Acctgdm,
You probably go ahead and buy Acrobat Professional or standard (perpetual product ) or you can subcribe to our subscription for Adobe Create PDF.
Both the options are available for you to have the PDF printer accessibilty,
You can go ahead and purchase the product either online on www.adobe.com or you can get in touch with our sales team on 800-585-0774.

Which Adobe product is best for me?

My wife and I are in the travel business. I like to make 8½ x 11 flyers for our cruise promotions. I start with a blank page and add images and text to make a composite, and then save it off in pdf. I've been using an old XP version of Microsoft Picture It! running in XP Mode on Windows 7. I need to upgrade to something more modern that will handle eps files, etc. I'm not a graphic designer, so the Adobe product line is confusing for me. So which product would be best for me, the cheaper the better? Thanks

Which Adobe Programs Do I Need For My Videos?

Hello,
Please forgive me for not knowing the technical terms for what I aspire to do. I have worked with video for many years (started with Premiere 4.5) but never 3D objects other than titles.
I want to be able to draw 3d models of objects and people (in the round so that they will look correct at any camera angle), position the models and cameras starting points, move the camera angle during the video, and animate the 3D characters themselves (make them walk, bend, smile). I think I saw something about a lip sync tool as well.
I want to be able to combine 3d models with real video as well. I assume I would render the 3d scene on an alpha channel or green screen and then pop in the video background using Premiere but not sure.
For final outputs I will need to upload to youtube and create widescreen DVDs.
Please let me know which Adobe apps are best for the...
1. 3D model creation
2. scene creation, animation and rendering
3. combining real world video with the 3D characters and objects and outputting to the formats mentioned above
4. Anything I missed?
Many thanks!

Adobe is not in the 3D business that you might think. Adobe software (Premiere/After Effects) can do compositing but not character animation.
You might do well to take a class in this stuff where you can learn the technology and purchase the correct software at a student discount.

Which Adobe Product For Videos Editing

Hi,
I have always been a huge fan of adobe but currently I am in a bad situation and I need your suggestion.
I am now put incharge of the video editing department, where our company make videos and send it to clients. It's a multinational company so imagine the professional customer.
The Videos will include Power Point presentation capture with Audio and a huge amount of Video Camera movies.
Our Company Manager suggesting Camtasia, Sony but I heard Adobe has a very good product as well.
Kindly suggest what Adobe Product and Version can support my requirement and also is it better and easy to operate than the above two products.
Thanks...
Waiting for your honest replies...

@Smith, John and Hunt.
Thanks alot, I was not expecting such a comprehensive and awesome replies.
Thanks alot..
Received a call from Manager and we will be using Two Technologies :), PowerPoint Capture will be done by Camtasia as we are already using it and have recently upgraded from 6 to 7.
@John I am abit confused on your last statement. Can you please explain it abit.
Let me clarify more my requirements:
We will be shooting on a 720P Camera or Cam Corders and I guess it's HD.
We will be conducting Interviews and more Class room trainings on a White Board.
We will capture that and remove the noisy or unwanted part and then distribute it online as well as on CD's or DVD's.
I guess it's pretty much simple.
So please give me your Final suggestions:
Director or Premiere Pro + Encore or Premiere Elements.

Which Adobe product?

Hi, I run a website www.biblestudiesonline.org.uk which offers original Biblical commentary for most New Tesament verses. I want to create an app which I can embed on the homepage of my site (which will soon be using HTML5).
The app should retrieve (and display on the same page) data from a database when certain keywords are inserted into a text field. For example, if a user types 'Matt 5:23', 'Matthew 5.23' 'Mat 5v23' or other such combinations, I want the app to display the content relevant to the twenty third verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew on my homepage.
I also want the app to work across all platforms.
Is there an ADOBE product that will let me build this (I have almost no developer skills?)
OR does ADOBE have a commercial divsion, or if not (dare I say it) does anyone know of another company that could provide me with an estimated price for delivering such an app? I'd probably have to save a lot of my dimes for a while...

PS we don't have dimes over here.

Hello,
The "Just Say It" box with the video in it is made with
Flash.
Probably Photoshop for the graphics.
Take care,

Which Adobe product should be use to create interactive presentations?

We have an interactive presentation that we developed for a client a few years ago in Flash. The client is concerned that Jobs has hurt the future of Flash as a development tool. Is there another Adobe product that we should switch to or is Flash still the premier product? Note: I need something sophisticated enough to do complex animations (many moving parts with masks). Play back has to look good with possible auto and video intergration. At the moment mobile/tablet is not an issue but may be desired in the future.

Two primary considerations, IMO.
1. If the product is already developed in Flash, and still works fine for all target devices, and maybe just occasional/simple updates are needed here and there..
2. If mobile delivery of the product is not at all required.
Then stick with Flash.
BUT if mobile is going to be a targeted platform, or the product needs a significant revision, then consider another approach.
Tools like Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Trivantis Lectora are solid tools for creating HTML5 (mobile-compatible) content...but since HTML5 support and the spec itself are still evolving, there are certainly more limitations on animation, interactivity, etc.
So the longer you can hold out updating the product to HTML5, using whatever tool you prefer, the better...but on the other hand, balance that against the efforts and updates you put into a Flash-based project that's likely going to have a limited future.

Which Adobe product takes over vdeos?

I downloaded some Adobe product and now all of my videos have an adobe symbol and are not accessable. Any dea what I need to remove?

Hi Ralph
Thanks for the additional info.I'm not certain what operating system you are on. I'm a PC and a big ole Mac ignoramous. So I'm not sure if Mac will behave as PC (Windows) does.
IF you are using a PC, what does it show when you right-click one of the videos and examine the properties? I'll post a screen capture of my own properties dialog for a .MPG file type.
See the button labeled Change? Click that and you are able to choose any other application that you want for playing the video.
Sorry, but I'm not thinking any of the applications you listed should have caused a change to the file association. Obviously SOMETHING changed it, but I'd be hard pressed to say what.
Hopefully something here will help or possibly someone else will have a different idea of what to try.
Cheers... Rick
