Adobe claims Intellectual Property rights over the Adobe PDF specification
and we aim to ensure that those rights are upheld.
When you install ABCpdf you accept the ABCpdf license agreement.
Part of the agreement specifies that you must abide by the conditions
of use for PDF set down by Adobe and detailed in the Adobe PDF Specification.
For full details you should see the specification. However in summary,
Adobe permits you to write software to create, display and manipulate
PDF documents.
This permission is conditional on the basis that your software
should respect the permissions and permission controls embedded
within existing PDF documents.
These permissions do not necessarily make sense within the ABCpdf
framework. For example the concept of an encrypted document which
bars the user from filling in form fields makes sense if there is
a user. However ABCpdf is a component and so is removed from the
final user.
You should ensure that when you create software which an end user
may operate that your software respects these types of permissions.
You are legally bound to do this both by the ABCpdf license agreement
and also by the Adobe conditions of use.
