Acrobat 8 Professional EULA
I refer to the Acrobat Professional EULA often enough in this Blog, so I thought it would be best to post a link for your reference.
What is the EULA? The EULA is the “legalese” that most people don’t read whenever they install software.
If you are interested in taking advantage of Acrobat 8’s new Extended Rights for Adobe Reader, then you’d be well-advised to check out Acrobat’s EULA, and possibly consult your attorney.
Finding this text once you’ve installed Acrobat is actually quite hard to do - it’s not available from the interface in any way which I found a bit odd, especially given its newfound significance.
Under Windows, at any rate, the EULAs in a variety of languages are installed by default to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Legal\
Adobe posts their EULAs online here.
The really interesting part of the Acrobat 8 Professional EULA, for those with an interest in using Reader Extensions, is Section 14.13.3. For you (and your attorney’s) reading pleasure, this section is reproduced below:
ADOBE Software License Agreement (a paragraph thereof)
14.13.3 For any unique Extended Document, you may only either (a) Deploy such Extended Document to an unlimited number of unique recipients but shall not extract information from more than five hundred (500) unique instances of such Extended Document or any hardcopy representation of such Extended Document containing filled form fields; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Professional shall not increase the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Professional you may have obtained).
