Adobe Extended License

[Theodora Andy]

Ihave created a logo for a client using one of Stock's vector graphics. The graphic is literally a logo with a text indicating "Company". When I reviewed Adobe's Additional Term for the Extended license, I discovered the following note (boxed in red), which feels like conflicting information.

That's what it says. You can't use a stock asset as a logo. A logo would need to get exclusive access to the asset. That's not possible. In my eyes, all those "logo" assets in the database should be purged from the database.

Hello there. Since posting this thread, my client would stilll like to use the graphic but no longer as a logo. Unfortunately the image has been taken down from Adobe Stock. Can someone send me the vector image #12074025? I still have access to the standard license.

Sorry, if the asset has been taken down, it is no more available. Taking down an asset may have more than one cause (the contributor deletes, Adobe deletes), but the basic effect of this is that the asset can't be downloaded any more. If you don't have a copy of it on your system, you should talk to your customer that it won't be possible to use that asset because the licence has been revoked. As for your situation, I would recommend contacting Adobe customer care for your lost asset point. Adobe customer care can be contacted by beginning a secure chat session at =autoOpen. If the chat window fails to open, or is non-responsive, use a different device to start the interaction.

It doesn't say you can't make a logo, but it does say you can't make a trademark or service mark. That may well not suit your client; imagine becoming an international name and finding the logo that grew with you cannot be protected. Some have argued that "logos" should be removed from the catalog.

Unless a company buys the explicit rights for logo use from the original illustrator or copyright holder (not a third party agent or stock site) the company may not hold the full copyright of their own logo.

If you buy from a stock site, you never own the copyright. Even Adobe does not own the copyright. The original creator is still the copyright holder. What the buyer acquires is the right to use the asset according to the licence conditions. Other buyers acquire the same right to use.

Logos are specific original creations, where the buyer wants to have exclusive rights and access to the logo, including the right to register the logo as a trademark. If the logo graphics sources from stock, other stock buyers could not use the graphic any more or the trademark owner would lose his trademark. In both cases this would be a catastrophic situation also for the stock provider. You can't use stock material for logos for this precise reason.

The bad is, however, that Adobe (or Fotolia before) did not refuse assets during the vetting process, when the title or the keywords contained the word "logo". But I suppose this has changed, if I interpret the post here correctly.

As a graphic designer, if I create content for you, you will have exclusive usage rights according to a custom licensing contract. That is the general case of a designer's work. I may keep some rights (so that you need to come back to me, if you want modifications) or I may sell you all rights plus the source files, so that you can independently modify my stuff.

Stock, however, works differently. The customer get nonexclusive limited rights in exchange for lower costs. This can still be royalty free or rights managed. There is no per se relationship between exclusive content and rights managed or royalty free content.

Yes, of course, everything is negotiable! Anyone wishing to license content from a stock agency can always contact the agency directly to inquire about acquiring special, exclusive, or extended licensing rights when needed. A simple automatic stock purchase transaction via download comes with a one or two license choices you can select based on what you need and then you must abide by the parameters of that license in your usage application. But should the license you want, such as a copyright buyout I mentioned in this discussion for a company logo, not be offered by the stock agency in their basic license choices, you can always contact the agency to see what you might be able to work out.

It is indeed impossible to allow logos and attribute non-exclusive licences. It is explicitly written in the terms because laymen may not make the correct assumptions from getting a non-exclusive licence.

Acrobat Reader DC extensions enables your organizationto easily share interactive PDF documents by extending the functionalityof Acrobat Reader with additional usage rights. The additional usagerights activate features that are not usually available when a PDFdocument is opened using Adobe Reader, such as adding comments toa document, filling forms, and saving the document. Users do notrequire additional software or plug-ins to work with rights-enabled documents.

To apply usage rights to PDF documents, configure AEM formswith a valid credential for Acrobat Reader DC extensions. A credentialmay have been configured during the installation of AEM forms. Ifyou did not configure your Acrobat Reader DC extensions credentialwhile running Configuration Manager or if you need to import a newor replacement credential, you can do so using the Trust Store Managementpages.

If you are using an evaluation credential, replace it with aproduction credential when moving to your production environment.To update an expired or evaluations credential, first delete theold Acrobat Reader DC extensions credential.

The Trust Store may contain more than one Acrobat Reader DC extensions credential.You must designate one of those credentials as the default Reader Extensionscredential. The default credential is used when a Workbench useris unable to determine which credential to use during process creation.These rules apply to default credentials:

You cannot delete a default Acrobat Reader DC extensionscredential. To delete the default credential, first set anothercredential as the default. An exception to this rule is that ifthere is only one credential, you can delete it even though it isthe default.

In the Alias box, type an identifier for the credential.This identifier is used as the display name for the credential inAcrobat Reader DC extensions. This alias is also used to accessthe credential programmatically using the AEM forms SDK.

The credential contains information describing its intendeduse that is accessible through the Acrobat Reader DC extensionsend-user web application. You can use this information to determinethe type of credential installed (either evaluation or production)and its validity dates.

When you upload a PDF file to the Acrobat Reader DC extensionsweb application, you can view this information:to view whether ithas been Reader extended, any usage rights applied, and their expirydates.

When the digital certificate that specifies the usage rightsfor a PDF document expires and the PDF document is opened in AdobeReader, a dialog box appears advising the user that the PDF documenthas usage rights, but these rights are disabled. Although the messageindicates that the PDF document was altered or tampered with, thisis not necessarily the case. Adobe Reader displays this messagewhen a certificate expires or a document is modified. In Adobe Reader 7.0.xor later, you cannot determine which case is currently the issue.

After you close the dialog box, Adobe Reader opens the PDF document.The usage rights that were applied using Acrobat Reader DC extensionsare not available, as expected. If the PDF document is an interactiveform, the form fields are locked and the user cannot change theform data.

Evaluation certificates are issued to customers and developersso that they can evaluate and develop sample applications for products.The validity period of these certificates is between 60 and 90 days.They expire at the end of the second month following the data ofissue.

Partner Integration certificates are issued to Adobe businesspartners to support software development, integration, prototyping,and demonstration. These certificates are valid for two years fromthe date of issue.

Production certificates are issued to customers who purchasedAcrobat Reader DC extensions. These certificates are valid for themaximum period permitted by the certificate authority (CA), shownas Max in the Certificate Profiles table.

When you examine the Acrobat Reader DC extensions certificatein the Certificate Viewer, you can select the usage rights itemfrom the Details tab (if configured) to see an itemized list ofthe Adobe Reader usage rights that the certificate can enable. Theusage rights enabled on a particular document may be a subset ofthose enabled by the certificate.

If online commenting is required in a non-collaborative environment,contact Adobe Support for more information. The Mode property matchesthe deployment type and is either production or evaluation .

The permitted Acrobat Reader DC extensions usage rights consistof one or more specific elements. These elements are used in differentcombinations to achieve varieties of licensed product functionality.

Data capture requires that you assign a user role to access theSampleReaderExtensionsCredential. You may assign the standard TrustAdministrator role, but consider that this role gives general, non-administrativeusers the powerful administrator privileges that control the PKITrust settings and manage PKI Credentials, which could compromisethe security of your AEM forms installation in a production environment.It is recommended that the AEM forms system administrator createa role that grants only read-only access to the Trust Store, andassign this new role to non-administrator users who use data capture.
