Creative Commons Information Acrobat Plugin (CCInfo)
Creative Commons (CC) is a nonprofit organization that provides copyright licenses in which only some rights are reserved. The CC Acrobat Plugin allows you to integrate a CC license into your PDF document and to view the CC License a PDF document is licensed under.
The CC Acrobat Plug-in currently works with Adobe Acrobat only. In the near future we hope to release an Adobe Reader version.
The Creative Commons Acrobat plugin enables Acrobat users to insert a Creative Commons license into their work, and to examine the license of an existing work. Some screenshots and a brief description of the working of the plugin will be available shortly.
You can download and use the CC Information plugin for free; furthermore, the plugin is Open Source - meaning that the source code for it is available to all.
NOTE: The currently available version for download is a beta version! This means that it passed very little QA testing, and may contain bugs or be incomplete.
Download CC Acrobat Plugin (Installer for Windows)
Source code for the CC Acrobat is available as a zip file here. We recommend using 7-Zip (another Open Source project) to add or extract files from a Zip archive.
You can also browse the project's source-code documentation here.
The code is written in C++, and includes project files for Microsoft Visual Studio 6 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You will need the Adobe Acrobat SDK (from the Adobe site) to compile the code.
The project uses XMLite, a simple XML parser by Kyung-min Cho, slightly modified. Thank you, Kyung-min Cho, for a great little parser ;D

If you wish to help with this project you can send an email to yoav@cogniview.com. We could really use the help of a graphic designer right now.
