need me an Adobe license to generate unique PDF files using iText 2.17?
Hello
We are building a web business application using iText v2.1.7 (Apache 2.0 under a free license) which generates unique PDF files, containing a dozen of text to fill in fields. Each PDF files are different by using multiple text labels, ensuring uniqueness.
Each instance of the PDF file is sent to a single recipient, the recipient fills text fields, print the document and signs the document.
Subsequently, the paper is placed in a workflow outside of our company. This workflow produces a unique XML file that is sent to our internal workflow.
My question is: do we need to license Adobe Acrobat Reader, and that is the license appropriate for us?
Thank you!
You do not use any Adobe technology. Adobe do not claim that all rights to the PDF generators that do not use their technology - PDF is a public ISO standard.
In fact, the use of Acrobat Reader and Acrobat is prohibited on a web server, but fortunately it does not apply because you don't need.
Your end users will need Acrobat or Acrobat Reader or another PDF reader. But the licensing of your software to end users is their own interest (unless you manage their business, in which case you may need a license for the redistribution of the reader).
However, although it is off topic, I can't really recommend basing a business on the old iText 2 just application because it's free. See Sales FAQ | iText Software, "WHY I shouldn't USE ITEXT 2.X (OR ITEXTSHARP 4.X)?". It could be the weak link in your solution, and you would have yourself locked out of commercial support.

What do I need to install Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit PDF files?
I'm subscribed to Adobe PDF Pack.

I have created a PDF file using Adobe DC and I need to share this amongst many pepole. Do need to install adobe DC in their pc.
It depends on.
1. most people with reasonably new equipment can read PDF files in any case using things that are built in. This includes
-Windows 8 and later versions
-Mac OS (all users)
-iOS (iPhone, iPad)
-Android (phones and tablets)
2. many people Windows have a web browser that can read PDF files anyway. This includes
-Chrome
-FireFox
3. This means there are many different types of software that can read PDF files. If you do a simple PDF, you should be fine. If you make shapes or portfolios or media, your end users must install Acrobat Reader, even if they otherwise can read a PDF file.

Can reports character mode - I generate a PDF file?
Hi, I work with Forms 6i character mode. Forms and reports are the Unix server.
Now all forms call reports like this:
run_product (REPORTS, lower (lv_reporte), SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, filesystem, list_id, null);
HOST ('sh print' | lv_salida |) » '|| TO_CHAR (ln_cantidad) | » '|| lv_ccola, NO_SCREEN);
"Sh print" is a WORK, it has redirect the output to the printer.
I need character mode, run the report in PDF format, ¿It may be possible?
I don't want to create the read, I want to run the report and generate a PDF file.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
I can't generate a PDF file, but if the form call the report in "BITMAP" mode and the character not without archive.prt, i ' ts generates a PostScript in UNIX.
Later, I turn the Ps to PDF with ghostscript PS2PDF.

This is my first time using this forum. I hope that my question made its appearance and that this space is to respond to the answers possible, but just in case, here's my question again:
On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in the sequence automatically, but the number 10 appears under the number 1 instead of below the number 9. I googled the problem, do not see addressed. I called Microsoft, and they said it's a matter of Adobe. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thank you.
Not an Adobe issue at all. If you want your files to a single digit (1-9) to appear before the 10, you must add a zero at the beginning.

Is it possible to use Adobe Pro to create a PDF file from an e-mail item in Outlook 2013?
Is it possible to use Adobe Pro to create a PDF file from an e-mail item in Outlook 2013? We used this feature in Outlook 2010 and just converted in 2013 Outlook, but it doesn't seem to be available any longer?
Are there plans to make available for Outlook 2013 or 2016?
Hi maryga0922,
You must have Acrobat installed compatible version that would work with Outlook 2013.
Otherwise you will not see the Acrobat tab in Outlook. Web browsers and applications of PDFMaker
This is the reason why I asked for the version of Acrobat is installed on your system.
Kind regards

Whenever I try to save a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat DC (Version 15.1), I get the error "the document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). "When I click ok, an error message appears saying:"insufficient data for an image. "I tried to do a repair on Acrobat, but it has not changed anything. I also tried some updates, but nothing that is. I did hours of research on the Internet and have found nothing so far. Does anyone know why this error keeps appearing?
Thank you!

New files created when to split a PDF file using the Adobe SDK are much higher than expected
Hello. I use the kit Adobe SDK to split large PDF into a set of small PDF files, using a set of page ranges. I created 2 PDDocs. One is for the original PDF, which I open it. In the other, I insert a range of pages of the original. I'm doing this for each set of pages.
objPDDocNew.InsertPages (-1, objPDDoc, startPage - 1, lngPageCount, 0)
It works fine, except that the combined size of the smaller PDF files is 10 or more times the size of the original PDF file! Y at - it an explanation for that? Y at - it a setting that I can put to reduce the size of the output files? I run my program of my Windows 7 desktop that has Adobe Acrobat XI. Thanks for any help you can provide.
You can get an idea on what elements are the use of how much space in the PDF file by opening the various Acrobat Pro files, and then select file > save as other > optimized PDF - then click on the "Use of space Audit" button in the upper right corner of the dialog box that opens. When you compare the use of the space of your source files with the file target that you can discover what is causing the increase in the size.

How can I hide the page thumbnails navigation bar initially to the top of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I couldn't find this option on the Preferences tab? Thank you
Under Edit - Prefs. - Documents check the box that says "Restore last display settings when reopening documents." Hide the Pages panel manually, and the next time that you open the file it should have disappeared.
