Queries on the Adobe PDF Library SDK

Hello

I have a requirement to merge several PDF files to single PDF on AIX 5.3 Server. This is currently done using Itext and Java. But recently, we have noted that Itext doesn't compress the PDF significantly. Then we tried to merge the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Writer(Adobe Standard 8) manually on the desktop (windows Vista). Our surprise the merged PDF size was lower.

So, we want to move on to Adobe SDK. Appreciate the answer on sub queries: -.

(1) is it possible to use PDF Library SDK to merge several PDF for only via Java program.

(2) given that the program will run in AIX 5.3 server which is the version of PDF Library SDK I can use?

(3) can I use PDF Library SDK on server?

(4) license is required to create a PDF of source target several PDF documents? I assume that PDF Library SDK application for permit.

(5) what is the cost per purchase. Do I have to buy any more that my requirement is only PDF writer?

(6) can I get any support from Adobe for the SDK of the problems after the purchase of the product.

(7) I downloaded, Acrobat 9 SDK. Please suggest how to find documents on the PDF writer as folder seems ambiguous.

Thank you

1 - Yes, they are VERY different products.  Acrobat SDK is a set of headers (and the related options) to work with Acrobat and Reader.  The PDFLibrary is a stand-alone library based on C/C++ to work with PDF documents.

2 - Yes, there is a version of the PDFLibrary for AIX.

Contact Datalogics (http://www.datalogics.com) for leave to the PDFLibrary from Adobe.

  • Acrobat SDK vs PDF Library SDK (especially for the AcroForms)

    Hi all

    I would like to develop an application for reading and setting the value within the AcroForm and a setting AcroForm shaped. For this purpose, I would use some of the existing API methods. I have a few questions:

    1) what are the differences of the SDK Acrobat and PDF Library SDK kit? (see the Documentation of the SDK Acrobat DC)

    Among others: kit SDK Acrobat and PDF Library SDK use the same PDF Library API? Just a different subset of it? What licensing and the pricing? Is my application above suggested a Library Application called "PDF"? What Acrobat Forms API - it is part of the extended for plug-in API but is not part of the PDF Library API?

    (2) what steps can I for the formatting and setting/read the value of an AcroForm?

    Can I use the two SDKs for this? (it seems that Yes, see Adobe PDF Library SDK |) Adobe Developer Connection) what are the advantages/disadvantages? What API methods come from? (Acrobat Forms API?)

    Thanks for all the info on these points

    The PDFLibrary SDK is a subset of the Acrobat SDK kit that can be used without the need for Acrobat.  One of the things that is not present in the SDK of PDFLibrary is the API of Acrobat forms you mention.

  • Why the Adobe PDF Create add-in is no longer supported by 25 FF?

    I use 25 FF on Windows 7 Pro x 64 system. Recently, I did a reinstall of the OS and with it a reinstall of Firefox. After importing my old profile, I noticed that the Adobe PDF create button was missing. It is a very useful application in my daily work.

    Going to the Add-ons Manager, I noticed that the Adobe Acrobat - create PDF 1.0 add on is disabled in 25 FF. Why support has been removed for this?

    I tried to use another Add on PDF, but it caused the browser hanging and it had to be removed. Is there a reliable option to save a web page to PDF? (other than the use of a Mac).

    This means that the addon message must be updated to be compatible with the latest version, if this addon is essential, you can revert to a previous version.

    If the second section does not work, the foregoing applies.

In addition, when I open just the program Acrobat 9 Pro Extender an error message comes up saying that a part of the Capture 3D plugin has been damaged. I went to customer service and they sent me here. Please tell me that this is not another race. I'm running out of patience! I have 10 window.

    Acrobat 9 is quite old and not longer supported. The last Windows OS that could use Acrobat 9 has Windows 7 and Acrobat had to have all updates applied.

    You need to upgrade to Acrobat DC.

  • PCL file sent to the Adobe PDF print driver

    After you install Adobe Acrobat DC, the Adobe PDF printer is created in devices and printers, but when I sent a PCL file to the Adobe PDF printer, nothing happens. Is there a plugin available to the Adobe PDF printer manage inputs for the PCL file?

    Thank you

    Mike

    No, it's a PostScript printer driver and the back-end (Acrobat Distiller) converts only PostScript to PDF. Adobe have no any PCL to PDF Converter.

  • WARNING 20225. Adobe Acrobat7.0 failed to create a new item. Adobe PDF Port / printer. The Adobe PDF printer may be unavailable.

    "Attention 20225. Adobe Acrobat7.0 failed to create a new item. Adobe PDF Port / printer. The Adobe PDF printer may be unavailable."

    any help appreciated

    On behalf of Adobe, no version of Acrobat before 8.1 is completely installable or useable on any version of Windows beyond Windows XP. There are fundamental differences in the way that the Adobe PDF printer is installed and accessible on later (1) Windows Vista and/or (2) 64 - bit versions of Windows. In addition, Acrobat 7 coordinates with all recent versions of all Microsoft Office applications. You need Acrobat DC licenses at this stage.

  • Problem with InfoPath via the Adobe pdf printer print

    Hello

    It seems that in some cases to the printer Adobe pdf makes the text box a little narrower than THE InfoPath. So we have packaging Word and number of lines in the PDF can be only in the InfoPath form. But the output area is not resolved. So the end of the text may be corrupted:

    I checked this approach, but it does not help:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/missing-or-garbled-text-printing.html

    The same behavior is with different IEs.

    Could you please help to solve this problem?

    Must be a bug in InfoPath from the Adobe PDF printer simply reports the available printer box and print what they say in print, where it says print. Could be a problem with the printer driver change. Try to set default Adobe PDF before you start InfoPath, might work.

    Updates are essential when you use an older version. Even older versions can be implemented in 32-bit systems, but must have workarounds. However, people have reported success for AA8 with systems 32 and 64-bit, but critical updates.

  • Cannot find the Adobe PDF printer

    I'm trying to convert a Word document to PDF by right-clicking a Word document and it saying to convert to Adobe PDF. I get the error message "cannot find the printer 'Adobe PDF' or"Acrobat Distiller". You want to run the installer in repair mode? "I try to run the repair mode and it will work the repair mode, but nothing changes. Also, I used to have an Adobe tab in my Microsoft Word program, but it's over. All these problems started when I got a new computer that is running Windows 7. Any idea on how to solve this problem? Now I'll have to use PDF Complete, but I prefer to use my Adobe!

    No, but you may need to do some work to get AA8 to work on your system. The first step is to update, currently in 8.3.1 (you have 8.0.0 that maybe your problem). AA8 is not certified for use on Win7, but several people have managed to make him run. However, you may encounter hickups sometimes even if it runs. In the meantime, try to open the document in WORD and print it on the Adobe PDF printer. If it works, you have at least one method of production.

    The next step is to understand why PDF Maker does not work. To do this, open the document in WORD, and make sure that the Adobe menu appears. In WORD 2007, it will probably be the right most of the Acrobat named menu item (which is on my WORD 2007 with AA8 system, although this is a VISTA machine). If this menu does not appear, then the macro from Adobe in WORD must be enabled.

    If the printer is not running, then the additional work is needed. Let us know what is the current state, and then we can go from there.
