2014 NEC PDF Version

[Nom Deplume]

Does the PDF version of the 2014 NEC still use the FileOpen plugin or is it simply a secure PDF?

Can I copy the PDF to any of my computers and open it, or is it locked to only the computer that I downloaded it on?

Just a secure PDF. Can be copied to and opened on devices.

But I'm told it's like the 2011 version, you cannot manipulate the file; highlight, underline, make notes, etc. Isn't worth the expense to me.

You can use the markup tools.

That's good to hear then, not what I heard before. My 2011 has the Licensed Agreement on every page also.

Still there, in blue in very small type at top of each page

Using the markup tools (notes and/or highlight, etc.) should not be confused with using editing tools!

Well, now that is a little confusing. I only use it on my iPhone 4S, ios 6. I have Sticky notes, highlight, strikeout, underline, and add text. There seems to be no deliniation between annotation and drawing markup tools. I'll call the NFPA and ask them which ones I can use then.

I don't know anything about modifying pdf's on an iPhone... but from an Acrobat perspective, all of those can be done. You just can't modify any of the published content.

I couldn't copy and paste on the laptop last time I tried, but others could. I haven't tried lately.

That may depend on what you are using for a PDF reader. Older and non-Abode readers may not implement the current fine grained protection scheme and instead prohibit all edit type operations including copying.

I have the PDF version on several computers. Get the red line version as it shows what was deleted and added.

Would you please tell me where you got the "red line version". Also, can it be put on multiple computers of mine? Thanks:happyyes:

From the source, of course.

Uncertain, but possibly available through others sources, too.

Also uncertain about multiple computers, but I don't see why it would be any different than the regular version.
