Convert PDF to PDF/A-2b

August 27, 2013, 5:55 pm
$

I am trying to build the option to convert PDF files to PDF/A-2b into my already existing Acrobat X plugin.

 

I have figured out how to select the correct handler for AVConversionConvertFromPDFWithHandler (com.callas.preflight.pdfa),

and if I give the flag kAVConversionInteractive it displays the preflight dialog to select which PDF/A profile,

but I cannot figure out how to do this selection from software (no dialog).

 

Is this possible in Acrobat X?

 

If its possible I guess its done thru the "ASCab insettings" parameter,

but I can't seem to find any documentation on what to put in there for the "com.callas.preflight.pdfa" handler.

Hi,

 

Here I want to known one thing clearly, that is I was developed one application in C# with Acrobat SDK.

 

In my application I am using Acrobat AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF and  also some other acrobat class.

 

In my development system i am using Acrobat 7.0.

 

When my application installed in my client system I am faced different types of problem.

 

  • System 1

System Configuration

OS : XP

Acrobat 7.0

 

Result : Success

 

  • System 2

System Configuration

OS : XP

Acrobat 5.0

Acrobat 7.0

 

Result : Fail

 

Error : Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)

 

  • System 3

System Configuration

OS : XP

Acrobat 7.0

Adobe Reader 9

 

Result : Success

 

Note:

 

But I having problem when I am use my application while Adobe Reader 9 is open.

 

What is problem?

 

Error is related to ActiveX COM fail like

 

    1. Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
    2. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {FF76CB60-2E68-2E68-101B-B02E-04021C009402} failed due to the following error: 80080005

 

  • System 4

System Configuration

OS : XP

Acrobat 7.0

 

Result : Success

 

Problem:

At the time of tool installation the system configuration will be as mention above, after by mistake they installed Adobe Reader 5.0. I faced the problem to use my application ActiveX COM failed

 

So I was un installed Adobe Reader 5, and tried but I got the following error,

 

     System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception      from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)   

 

 

So, I am advised my System Admin team to Re-Install the Acrobat 7.0, after the Re-Installation of Acrobat 7.0, all the problem get solved.

 

But I want to known what is problem?

 

And also what is the Adobe COM connection between Acrobat ActiveX and my Application(C#, VB, etc…).

 

So Please give clear information and guidance...

 

Thanks & Regard

Note:  I was able to merge 2 individual 1-page pdf's with the 1-page "cover" PDF - code not shown above - but I couldn't get it to also merge the 3-page "backup" PDF.

           I really don't know what the initial, second & final zero parameters in the above InsertPages command stand for or do.  That could be my problem, but I haven't

Good day,

 

I am writing a signature handler (like DocSign example) and I use kPSSigMethodPKCS7Detached to create the signature value; the digestValue is NULL and I use the dataBuffer to fetch the bytes to digest.

 

How can safely calculate the size of the signature value, i.e. outSigValueSize?

Prevent printing to PDF file

Hi,

 

I'm trying to prevent the user to print a protected PDF document to a PDF file.

My questions:

- How do I detect that the user prints to a specific printer?

  My replacement callback for AVDocDoPrint is called before the print dialog is viewed. But after the dialog is closed I have no chance to find out, which printer the user has chosen.

  My replacement callback for AVDocPrintPagesWithParams is never called..

  Or how can I find out the properties of the selected printer, like it is a "PDF printer" or a "postscript printer"?

 

If I print a protected document with the "Adobe PDF" printer, I get the message

"

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"

 

How do I achieve this for every other printer?

 

Best regards,

Stefan

How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window

Hi,

 

I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.

 

  • Language C#
  • Adobe Reader 10.0

 

Here´s some Code:

 

    public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
    {
        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
        proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
        proc.Start();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        proc.WaitForInputIdle();
       

proc.Kill();

    }

 

It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.

 

Is there another way to hide the Window ?

Good day,

 

I am writing a signature handler (like DocSign example) and I use PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS1 to create the signature value; the digestValue is NULL and it says the dataBuffer is a handler to fetch the bytes to digest, but how?

 

And what's the difference between PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS1Digest and PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS1? The PubSecHFT.h says if using PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS1Digest the handler need to do its own digesting and the PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS1 don't. Then why the digestValue is null? For it's constant, when is it produced?

 

Please help me out. I'm really confused.

Through the application the users will open pdf files available on the server and view it, in Internet explorer.

 

Now,since this is a sensitive data, we want to restrict the users from "Saving a copy " of the Pdf file.

 

How can i prevent the user from saving a copy of the pdf file

 

I observered that there are options to disable copying, selecting, printing of the pdf file. But i dont find an option to disable Save feature

 

If there are no straight forward approach for this, I would like to know any roundabout ways of achieving this

I would like to set the permissions for printing to "none" using C#.  The Javascript documentation says to use the "security" constant to access like this:

security.getHandler(security.PPKLiteHandler, true);

to access the handler and then to apply the permissions:

this.encryptForRecipients({

oGroups :

[

{userEntities:importantUsers,permissions:{allowAll:true }},

{userEntities: otherUsers, permissions:{allowPrinting:"none"}}

],

bMetaData : true

});

 

"this" refers to the JSObject, but how do I send the message "security.getHandler"?

I am new to Acrobat SDK and i am having a hard time trying to figure this out...

 

I am trying to extract the "UF" Value from "AA"(additional action) -> "D" -> "F" -> "UF" from a [Widget] type Annotation.

 

Below is how it is structured  in the PDF:

Creating a Plugin that will save the PDF to a specific location when signed.

I have been working to create a system where when one signs a document, the file is automatically saved to a specific location and the file name is determined by certain fields entered within the document.  At first I believed that this could be done using javascript within the pdf, but am finding that I would instead need to make a plugin for Acrobat and Reader.  Below is a link to where I had posted on the Javascript forum about this and their suggestions:

 

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5652259#5652259

 

I have currently used their suggestions to create the following Action in Acrobat:

 

 

//Create the file name from text fields in the form

     //Credit to Gilad D for the first part of this script.

     var myFileName = this.getField("PATIENT_ID").valueAsString + "#" + this.getField("PATIENT_DOB_3").valueAsString + "#C#" + this.getField("PROCEDURE_NAME").valueAsString;

 

     //Save the file

     this.saveAs("/C/Users/ahill.CNC/Desktop/PDF test save/" + myFileName + ".pdf");

 

The above action works, but it currently isn't activated when the form is signed, nor would it work with Reader, which is something I would need.  If anyone has any sort of guidance on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Which signature handler to use when timestamping data

Hi,

 

I am struggling to validate my timestamped data with my signature handler. I how also need to be able to validate the signatures using Adobe default security handler. I currently have my handler set for PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS7DetachedDigest. I see that there is also a handler property PROP_PSENG_SignFormatETSIRFC3161Digest.

 

If I want to include a timestamp from a TSA so that Adobe reports that the signature has been timestamped should I change the handler to PROP_PSENG_SignFormatETSIRFC3161Digest?

 

I see that Adobe default security's subfilter is adbe.pkcs7.detached, so I should be able to accomplish timestamping with PROP_PSENG_SignFormatPKCS7DetachedDigest?

Enabling Acrobat Toolbars in C#

I am using WPF to display PDF documents in my application.  I load my documents using the following code:

 

    public partial class AdobePDFViewer : UserControl

    {

        public AdobePDFViewer(string path)

        {

            InitializeComponent();

 

 

            this.axAcroPDF1.LoadFile(path);

            this.axAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(true);

        }

    }

 

 

Problem is, that only displays the top toolbar and not the thumbnails on the side.  I don't themt to be fully visible, but I would like to have a collapsed version of them on th left side.  If I don't set this.axAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(true), then my documents load in Read Mode.  If I set this.axAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(true), then they're display in read mode with the toolbar on top.  So, now I have toolbar on top and toolbar on bottom.

 

What I want, is simply to view documents in Toolbar mode to begin with, and if the user chooses to go into Read Mode, they can do so from the toolbar.

 

How can I accomplish this?
