QUESTION ABOUT USING ADOBE READER LOGO ON ONE OF MY SHOP LISTINGS

I have an online shop where I sell instant download invitations. These come in a PDF format and Adobe Reader is used by buyers to edit these files. On each items listing, I added an Adobe Reader logo image in the top right corner so that buyers can immediately see that the item sold is a PDF. (I tend to get many buyers who don't read the listing in its entirety so I thought including this logo would also help them see that it is a PDF.)

I have read over the logo use terms on Adobes website, but I am honestly overwhelmed with all of the rules so I thought I might get a clear answer through the forums. I would really appreciate the feedback. I also attached a sample of how it appears in the listing.

Thanks!

Jess

Ok you can't use the Acrobat Reader logo at all. You can use the Adobe PDF file icon, which is simpler, and doesn't contain the word Adobe, UNEDITED with some space around it. There are other conditions for this icon so check it out: they are reasonably straightforward once you find the right section.

You're also free to make your own icon but it mustn't contain Adobe or anything copied from an Adobe logo, including the swirly PDF symbol. You can freely use the letters PDF which Adobe do not own.

To be clear, you CAN'T take any Adobe logo (even if you're allowed it) and make a derivative new icon like the "editable" one you made.

Point us at the logo rules, we may have an interpretation for you. But I think it's very unlikely you can use anything with the word Adobe in it without a license.

By by the way,is it a form? Calling a form "editable" will cause a lot of confusion. Stick to "fillable". Also you should strongly recomnend people use Acrobat Reader since most other PDF software messes up forms.

Yes fillable! Sorry about that. I'm not completely familiar with all the terms but I can see where some can become confused. Here is a link to what I read about logo use guidelines: Icons and web logo guidelines | Adobe
