Which apps does pdf generator need installing

Hi
The online documentation says that PDF Generator supports a large number of formats, including doc, dwg, vsd (visio) and photoshop psd.
It doesnt mention Illustrator (ai).
In trying these out on our dev server, i found that only doc, ai and dwg worked.
The "preparing to install" documentation says that msoffice and acrobat must be installed on the server.
Microsoft office is installed, but not Visio, so I guess that explains why visio files wont convert.
I havent installed photoshop or illustrator either.
I havent (knowingly) installed anything that supports dwg, but that works fine.
I can't find a definitive list in the documentation which says explicitly which applications are required?
Is there such a list published or available somewhere?  I need to be able to tell my customers which additional apps they will need.
thanks in advance

In the case of Linux you should be okay (LC can use OpenOffice for the transformations that are normally done with MS Office).
However, with Unix installations there is more than just the Acrobat installation to be concerned with. For the most part, LiveCycle uses the native application (Word, PowerPoint, etc) for the conversion.

  • Which apps does Apple TV have?

    I want to buy the Apple TV but I do not know which apps does it come with. Where can I find the answer?

  • Well my iphone was reducing my prepaid load, how will I know which apps doing this?Or which settings to turn off so it will not use my prepaid load?

    As stated above,kindly help...

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • Preview (app) and PDFs generated by Photoshop CS3

    (Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question; I didn't see another more appropriate category to post this)
    Anybody else here had problems with PDFs created with PS CS3 when trying to view with Preview? Any type that was not rasterized in PS disappears! PDFs show correctly when opened in Acrobat or Reader though so I know the type is there and it's readable/recognizable. Seems like a glitch in the Preview application.
    Maybe this will be corrected with Leopard??

    I made a small PS CS3 file using a couple of fonts which were Apple Casual and Stencil, used the pdf option in the print dialog box. The text was there in the doc opened in Preview and Acrobat Reader (8.1). Both of these are TT fonts. So I included one PS type Belo, and it was there also.
    What font type are you using?
    Yes, I know that to modify text in PS it has to be rasterized.
    Could be a PS doc setup problem.
    Make a new file and try putting the text in question alone on it and see if it shows up on Preview.

  • Photo editing question - which app does this?

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask; if not, please forgive my faux pas.
    I'm looking for an inexpensive photo-editing app ( < $25) that will let me take an image and distort it in such a manner that it appears to have 3d perspective.  That is, I'd like to shorten the height of the left vertical edge but not the right edge, making it appear that one is looking into the distance.  I have a few common apps like Graphic Converter and Pixelmator but if they have this function, it's pretty well hidden.
    Suggestions anyone?

    You can download the free trial of Pixelmator for MacOS:
    http://www.pixelmator.com/try/
    and for 30 days distort and apply perspective:
    Or buy it at the app store for 14.99.

  • LifeCycle PDF Generator Linux Confussion

    Hi,
    Actually I'm quite confused with LifeCycle products. Does PDF Generator is a standalone product? Or it comes with LifeCycle ES? I came across post that said upon installation LifeCycle we can choose PDF Generator. Is it true?
    Installing trial LifeCycle ES require Adobe acrobat pro/standard? Im using linux here, I cant find any adobe acrobat for linux. I did found Adobe Distiller Server 8 can be use on linux.
    Sorry, Im totally noob and confused T__T

    PDF/G is part of the LiveCycle suite. If you choose that option then it requires the native application be present to transform certain types of documents (i.e. Office). If you are running on Linux then you will have to use Open Office to get the conversion of office docs. On a Linux system you do not need to load Acrobat.
    For best results with PDF/G I suggest using a Windows system with Arobat installed and MS Office. If you stay with Linux you will get reduced functionality.

  • How to programmatically change the password of user accounts in PDF Generator

    I am using 4 user accounts for multi-thread converting Word documents to PDF in PDF Generator ES3, and I have to update the password of those user accounts. Does PDF Generator ES3 save the password somewhere on the Windows 2008 server? Can I programmatically change the password of those accounts other than updating them manually from LiveCycle Admin console?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Not in LiveCycle API.
    Changing user account password is related to Operating System.

  • Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

    Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?  If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his?  Thank you

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • Why when I am trying to install a free game app does Apple need my credit card info?

    I am trying to install a free game app and it won't install without my credit card info.  Why?

    To verify that you are who you claim to be in the country where you claim to

  • How many Licenses of Acrobat Professional do I need for Adobe LC PDF Generator

    Hi,
    At our customer site we have purchased 6 licenses of Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and have recieved a license file with the keys for Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We bought the license from a reseller of the product. We understand that the Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator is a server based software and needs 1 license per CPU. Each of our server (Dev, Val & Prod) have 2 CPU's so we have sufficient licenses (6). We are under the impression that this would suffice. How ever we are not sure on how many licenses we need for Acrobat Professional.
    Here is a brief description of the way we would use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. We are deploying a PLM system and one of the requirement is to render Word documents to PDF so we are using PDF Generator for this capability. On our Adobe servers we will install Microsoft Word, Acrobat Professional V9 Extended and the Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator. We will have around 150 users for the PLM system being deployed. The PLM system is a Web based system which means the PLM application server will be running on a Solaris server in our case. As part of the workflows in the PLM system, at the end of the workflow process, the PLM server would trigger a request to the Adobe server to convert the word document to PDF. The Adobe server processess the request and returns the PDF file that gets generated.
    Based on the above usage of the system how many licenses of Acrobat Professional do we need? We will be installing Acrobat only on the server where we install the Livecycle PDF Generator. We had a call with our purchasing person today and she cautioned us that for Adobe Acrobat Professional we might need 1 license per user of the PLM system. She has asked us to check this with the Vendor of the product. Somehow I don't think it makes sense to purchase so many Acrobat Professional licenses even though we install only once.
    So can someone tell me How does the licensing for Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator work? How many Acrobat Professional licenses we actually need? Is it based on the number of users in the system that is triggering the request? Appreciate your response on this.
    Regards,
    Ragha

    You really should talk to your Adobe Sales Rep about this.  There are all kinds of special deals, licenses and such for customers using LiveCycle.  (For instance the license for PDFG may include Acrobat licenses for certain uses).

  • Reader X does not display drawing in PDF generated with LaTeX

    I have a quite large PDF generated by pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 which contains also XY-pic drawings rendered with Xy-pic version 3.8.2, PDF driver v.1.4.
    One drawing does not display correctly in Adobe Reader X. Neither on Windows, neither on Mac. It does display correctly with following programs:
    Preview on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
    Adobe Reader 9.x
    Skim (skim-app.sf.net).
    When I open this document with Adobe Reader X I get following error message when I hit page 58:
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem".
    Where does one report rendering problems?

  • Need info on adobe pdf generator

    Hi,
    We are evaluvating a tool to convert word document to pdf for our prestegious client.
    Below are requirements,
    Requirement 1:
    Source- MS Word document
    Target- PDF
    1) Conversion of MS Word document to PDF through online. Here Word document content don't follow any specific layout disagn.
    User wants pdf format should be as same as Word document including font, file layout, header, footer.
    2) Target Pdf should dynamically generate content while reading  word document. i.e it has to replace <placeholders> with the data read from DB.
    3) Target Pdf should also merge some other pdf documents during conversion
    Requirement 2:
    Source- PDF
    Target- PDF
    1) User will provide PDF which has user data aswell as <placeholders>. We need to replace the <placeholders> with the data read from DB & generate PDF.
    Please let us know which adobe tool would suite better for above said requirements.
    Note: From my initial analysis  I found 'LiveCycle PDF Generator ES ' and 'LiveCycle Output ES2' are suitable to 'Requirement 1'. Please let me know your comments on this.
    Thanks,

    I've not seen a response from others, so I'll chime in.  If the answers are not in sufficient detail, I can find someone else to go to the next level.
    Requirement 1: The key thing to keep in mind is that PDF Generator is a server-based framework around word, at least for the word to PDF part of its functionality.
    1-1) Conversion of Word to PDF...  PDF Generator does this well.  Note that it will require the installation of MS Office or will use Open Office. Given your fidelity requirement, you probably want to use Office.
    1-2) The integration of dynamic data is less clear.  PDFG does not support this directly, as we use MS Office. I'm not a Word expert, but if you can pull of the dynamic content access and have the appropriate access paths available from Office as it is deployed on the server.
    31-3) Both Output and PDF Generator use a common service called Assembler for the merge. This should be an easy usecase.
    Requirement 2: Generation of PDF from a template.
    The best product for you is LiveCycle Output. It will take a template from LiveCycle designer, either static of dynamic, and create PDF at moderate volumes. I'd suggest that you look at Designer, including its template import facilities, and then consider how you can get the data for your placeholders into XML format. Output is then quite easy to do the data merge, formatting, and PDF generation.
