Viewing and Buying PDF on the
Web
Acrobat 5.0 installs plug-ins that make viewing and buying PDF documents on the Web
easier.You can view PDF documents in your browser, or set up Acrobat to work as a helper
application when you open or download PDF documents from the Web.
The Web Buy feature lets you buy and download PDF files that have been locked with the
Adobe secure PDF technology to protect the copyrights of authors and publishers. Web
Buy lets you unlock these files so that you can read and search them on your personal
computer. A series of Web pages pops up in your browser to guide you through the
process.
Additional functionality is available through online Web services hosted by Adobe Online.
These services can be accessed directly from within the Acrobat application, provided you
have an Internet connection.
Setting your Web Buy preferences
Sellers of electronic documents may require that the use of a document be tied to a
particular computer or storage device.You can specify in the Web Buy preferences dialog
box what storage device information you are willing to make available to sellers automati-
cally when you purchase a secure PDF document over the Web. An advisory page will pop
up in your Web browser if a seller seeks information other than what you have defined in
your Web Buy preferences dialog box.
To set your Web Buy preferences:
1 Select Edit > Preferences > General, and select Web Buy from the list on the left.

3 Specify which warnings you would like to receive before information is sent to an
online seller.

and Other Identifier 2 drop-down menus. All devices that are visible to your computer are
listed in the drop-down menus.
Note: If you lock a document to a removable media such as a Zip cartridge or Jaz drive,
the document is portable. That means you may open and view the document on another
computer, provided the specified removable media is present. If you lock a document to
your computer, the document can be read only on that machine.
