Question

I would like to hold off on my agreeing to the terms and conditions if the work is to be made collaborative or assigned to other people, can I change this now so that it isn't taken over ("improved") in this developmental stage?

So after conversion can anyone go through my work.. I'd rather they didn't and I want to download them but retain the copyright from the time of upload and conversion. Is this a problem? I agreed haphazardly without fully thinking it through. I don't fully understand what they mean when in terms and conditions they make it available for editing by their people and or the improvement of for others. Is this joint ownership in this regard. I really like that I have this service for copyrighting my work. Other means seemed awkward.

Secondly, are artworks and designs safe also, might they be protected by just having them in my organiser. I generally save them to my PC hard-drive elsewhere. Just wondering is it advised for copyright protection means!

    Hi liam anthony dalton,

    I checked your account, and it looks like you just purchased an Adobe PDF Pack subscription. Is it the terms and conditions of PDF Pack that you're referring to?

    Your files are secure in your Acrobat.com account, and are only accessible by you, unless you decide to share them with others. Converting your files doesn't lead to joint ownership--you decide when or if you want to share the files. (I'm not sure exactly what you read, but it sounds to me like it's just a description of how the service works.)

    I hope I've helped to allay your concerns. If you would like to send me a link to the terms that you agreed to, I can speak more directly to your concerns.

    Best,

    Sara

    Dear Sara,

    I refer to section 3 and the second part thereof. I am unclear as to the licence requirement. I am a graduate of Sculpture and Multi-media, degree level 7 at HETAC level. This is European recognised qualification. Perhaps this is enough or perhaps I will require a further qualification?
