Future of 'FREE' software Acrobat reader

Everyone:

I use Acrobat reader software that came with my scanner Epson V37.  It is connected to an Apple Macbook Pro laptop computer running the "Snow Leopard" operating system.

I use this to create a family history of CD-ROM containing photographs historical, letters, documents and contracts.  Some documents date from 1940 to the present day.

50 to 100 years from now someone will always be able to open and read this information?

Please send employees to Adobe if you know someone at Adobe.

Thank you

Ralph

The PDF/A standard is designed to ensure that the files will be opening as far forward as possible, by prohibiting any technology that could be removed or blocked by a seller (encryption systems for example trademarked, video codecs, etc.). The Committee does not guarantee a lifetime of a PDF/A file, but is expected to be at least 50.

It is true that we do not know what material will exist in 50 years, but the public ISO specification defines all that a future programmer would need to know in order to make the file. Adobe didn't need to be involved at all.

CD-ROM engraved, on the other hand, is a terrible choice for archiving. They degrade over time, and there is no guarantee that same 10 years computers will be sold with CD players. It may seem strange, but you are better to store documents in the cloud (in several places), because they will be migrated automatically on the latest technologies of storage as and when they come out. The Internet cannot House you can burn.

    Hi yaritzab46986362,

    If you purchased a plan from Pro to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, you need to use to protect the files.

    I guess what you have opened is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which is a free application to view and print PDF files.

    If If Acrobat Pro DC is not installed on your machine, you can download it here: Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

    I have a VBA application that fills the data in an Acrobat form.  Do I have to distribute a complete Acrobat on each machine that uses this application (it will be disastrous) or is there a way I can use the software Acrobat reader only.  I use the next AcroExch.App and AcroExch.PDDoc object to the form.  I hope there's a distribution object, I can use the full application and not because I don't want users to have access to forms and to keep the cost down.

    It is important to realize that the Acrobat SDK kit is a marketing tool for Acrobat. So, Yes, certainly you need a copy for each system. There is no redistributable components.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version) DC - I can add and pay for "send for Signature?

    I have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC product. This is the basic player just to view the PDF files. I saw the feature "Send for signature" and when I click on upgrade, it takes me to a Web page to pay for an annual subscription of $24.00. I don't see any kind of trial, which is ok I guess. I don't have any other paid products or paid subscriptions with Adobe and it would be the only feature that I would like to pay.

    What I really want to know is just in case it doesn't on my needs, I am able to cancel with a refund? What is the cancellation policy?

    Hi MariaTaxes,

    If you opt for the $24 subscription, then you can use it online as with your Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, just make sure that you sign in using the same Adobe ID in Adobe Acrobat Reader ms whereby you have completed the subscription.

    Kind regards

    How can I make bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat Reader ms?

    No matter what there are?

    AFAIK the bookmarks should be created with the Adobe Acrobat DC commercial application and cannot be created with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - failed to access Acrobat Capture Web installation. Acrobat may be busy or waiting for input

    At Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 and used Internet Explorer 10 Version 10.0.9200.17414. In the upper RIGHT of IE, I had Adobe (plug-ins?) option to:

    Convert Web Page to PDF...

    Add Web Page in existing PDF...

    Print the Web Page...

    etc.

    I used the Web Page Add to... the daily option. I then installed, to fix a different problem, Adobe Acrobat Reader Version DC 2015.008.20082 (later from this post). Now, when I choose to add a Web Page in existing PDF... option, I get the error popup:

    Unable to access the installation of Acrobat Capture Web. Acrobat may be busy or waiting for input.

    I have searched the WWW of solutions but can't find one. Anyone has any potential ideas?

    The free software Adobe Reader doesn't have these features. They are part of Acrobat (not free) - as far as I know; only with the Pro version.

    There may be a PDF 'create' a web page associated with an Adobe online subscription services (perhaps PDF Pack).

  • I have the latest version of acrobat reader installed (10.1.4.38) but it still says that it needs to be updated

    Problem started out of the blue a few days ago. When I go to a page with a PDF file, it says "Plugin is vulnerable..." Click here to start anyway"(paraphrase). When I look in Add-ins, it has the following line about the software Acrobat Reader ' adobe acrobat is known to be vulnerable and needs to be updated to 10.1.4.38» This is the latest version available.

    I tried to update, remove from my computer, reinstalling, etc several times. No improvement - I still get the same message.

    I have no idea whence 10.1.4.38. But let me put that aside for the moment.

    There are actually two ways to upgrade for you.

    • Adobe Reader 10.1.6
    • Adobe Reader 11.0.2

    The easiest way would be, inside Adobe Reader X, use help > check updates get 10.1.6. Does it work?

  • Attach an Office or Acrobat reader file to Lotus Notes 8.5

    Hello world

    We have a problem in our society with attach them files, we use Lotus Notes 8.5 as a mail client and also Office 2007 and Acrobat reader 10
    The problem is, when you use any Office document for example, (it can be the word, excel...) and you want to attach the file to the option ' send to ' for the mail (in this case, Lotus Notes 8.5) client it pops up the following error:
    "There is no associated messaging program to perform the requested action, please install a mail program."
    We have Lotus Notes 8.5 as a current email client, and he's the ONLY client we have.
    In the software Acrobat reader produces exactly the same problem.
    Could someone help us? We are fighting with this for a long time
    Thank you

    This problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with Office.  There is a problem with Windows and your e-mail client.  Apparently, Lotus Notes is not a handler for the recipient of the e-mail ' send to '.  So, to add a send that contains the shortcut to use Notes.  Your Notes documentation or the support for Notes web site you must give the answer on how to do it.  Basically, you need to add a shortcut to Notes in your file send to.  Path of the folder is %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo for Windows 7, but you did not mention your version of Windows, so if it is different, the path may be different.
