I am sure this questions has been addresssed, but could not find it.

Lets say I create a design in powerpoint and turn it into an interactive pdf brochure with popup menu, and vidoes, am I allowed to sell a pdf interactive brochures? So If a company approaches me about creating them an interactive brochure, I am allowed to create and sell it to them?

I will be using acrobat 9 pro extended

Thanks,
Nick

Hi grandprix,

Sure you can create interactive PDFs of any kind with Acrobat and sell them. There are a multitude of companies who create PDF forms, reports, brochures, etc. for clients using Acrobat. Is there some reason you thought otherwise?

Hope this helps,

For some reason I thought maybe you had to have Acrobat Lifecycle ES to market and sell interactive pdfs. Well thats great news. I also notice you said in your statement "for clients using Acrobat" Do clients have to have acrobat? Can I just create an interactive pdf brochure and sell that to the comapany even if they only adobe program they are using is Reader?

Thanks again

Hi grandprix,

I should have said "using Acrobat for clients"- my bad grammar :)

You don't have to have Acrobat Pro or Standard to view any kind of PDF- the free Reader will work with a few BUTS. If you use newer features in Acrobat then the viewers may need to have the latest version of Reader to see/use those newer features. Some publishers prefer not asking viewers to download anything in order to read their PDFs. And I'd bet there are a huge number of people who do not have Reader 9 yet. So for instance, if you created a PDF Portfolio using the new Flash navigator(both new features in Acrobat 9), then the viewers would only be able to enjoy those new features if they had Reader 9.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
