Acrobat

in a technology that was primarily designed and produced for the purpose of circumventing, and was marketed by the defendants for use in circumventing, the Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader. ...

You can have double extension: first owner, then type. So that if the owner exists: it opens the file, otherwise "anybody" able to open will open it. Of course we need a table of all "anybody" with the file types they can open, and a prioritiy order. And this table must be available for the user (or at least the administrator).

for some Adobe apps (Acrobat), that 85% PC figure is right, but for apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, After Effects and Premiere, it's between 50-50 (GoLive, Premiere), and 60 PC - 40 Mac for the rest. The coolest thing I've heard today is that Newtek's Lightwave 7 package is selling better on the Mac side than the PC side.

Not weird at all. If you're moving a file on the same harddrive and partition (volume) then "mv file.name /some/place" doesn't move the file, but instead just changes the pointer in the file system (i.e. in the directory of files is just says "file X is now there, not here") Hence, the file is never touched and the resource forks remain the same. The same thing happens in...

Yes, I tryed to move the files/applications into a directory then tryed taring the new directory. No juice. A quick thought, is it possible that Alladdin's DropTar includes the resource fork? What is weird is that the move tool works perefectly but when I try to cp a file like /Applications/Acrobat\ Reader\ 5.0.app it still doesn't copy the resource fork. I did...

I don't know if this means anyhting, but I don't think it is at all surprising that Adobe brought Illustrator and Acrobat to OS X first. ...

None of the 'old' Unix commands handle resource forks. Not tar, not cp, not cpio, not dd. Even ls -l only displays the size of the data fork, though ls -l (filename)/rsrc will show the size of the resource fork. If you install the Developer Tools, you will get some Apple commands like CpMac that copy the whole file, including resource fork. Only HFS file systems support...

You know, I just got in the office to check my email this morning. I haven't been gziping my files, but this makes no difference. It appears as though I'm having a similar problem with the copy command. If you cp -r Acrobat\ Reader\ 5.0 it is also corrupted. Does the cp command have problems copying data forks as well? Later toady I'm going to try to download the new...

I will propose an explanation... the pdf file that I had originally tried this starts with: %??F-1.3 stream14353 /O 14982 /E 14998 /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 16055 0 R >> ] the pdf file that I get from printing to pdf: %PDF-1.3 2 0 obj << /Length 1 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >>
