Creating a Click-thru Agreement in a PDF
A click-thru (sometimes called ClickWrap) agreement is a software or web-based acceptance of terms.
Click-thru agreements rely on the recipient clicking "OK" or "I agree" to accept the terms of the agreement.
I recently received this email message about Click-thru PDF agreements:
Is it possible to create a message that appears prior to a [PDF] document being opened to accept terms and conditions? If the user would click "Yes" the PDF would open. If the user click "No" the document would close.
Short answer: Yes!
Do Click-thru Agreements have Legal Precedent?
Yes, there are a number legal decisions on the subject.
The earliest reference I found was to ProCD v. Zeidenberg (text), which established that clicking a button in a software program constituted acceptance of terms.
A number of relevant court decisions may be found here: Click-Wrap Agreement - Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions.
In this article, I'll show you how to create an alert message that pops up when a PDF is opened:

Creating Email Portfolios for Small EDD Productions
I took a close look at the Acrobat 9 packaging and didn't find any mention of EDD (Electronic Data Discovery).
Despite that, I'm hearing from more and more law firms that would like to use Acrobat to capture, review and produce email as part of a case.
A great solution is an Email Portfolio. Acrobat can convert an entire folder of email in Outlook or Lotus Notes into well-organized PDF Portfolio which lets you sort, filter and search.
The Outlook integration provide by Acrobat offers the following:
- Convert individual email messages to PDF
- Adds attachments in their native format into the PDF of the message
- Combines all of the converted messages into a PDF Portfolio
- Adds a full-text index to the PDF Portfolio
Acrobat's email archiving feature is intended to be a personal email archiving tool, however with a bit of tweaking (and perhaps a plug-in like Evermap's AutoPortfolio), you may be able to use it successfully to manage small EDD productions.
