Acrobat 9 SDK Documentation as PDF

Hi,
where can i found the Acrobat 9 SDK Documentation as PDF File?
PDF is offline better to handle (Search, ...) then Documents in HTML Format.
Adobe should know this!
Klaus

Ok, i read
If Adobe cannot produce PDF from his Word Processing Programm in which the SDK-Dokumentation People write the Dokumentation, then thats very poor.
I don't belive that this Programm has only the HTML Output.
Klaus
PS:
In the past you can see, that Framemaker was used for Dokumentation.

Acrobat SDK Vs Adobe PDF Library

Hi,
Can anybody help me in deciding which one will be cost benificail for my following task:
1. I need to do the color separations in PDF file and handling the transparency in
pdf elements.
Thanks in advance...
sabdul.

Acrobat is a much more feature-rich application than the CreatePDF service.
CreatePDF is a web-based service that can be used for, as the name implies, creating PDF files from virtually any format. You also get the ability to convert existing PDF files to Word, Excel, or Powerpoint files.
The EULA for Acrobat states that you can install a single license of Acrobat on up to 2 computers. The implication being that these are both your computers and that Acrobat is licensed to you, individually.
The CreatePDF service can be accessed from virtually any computer that's hooked up to the internet. Your subscription though is limited to your personal use.

Add Digital Signature Using C# and Acrobat SDK

Hi everybody!
Please, how can I digitally sign PDF documents using Acrobat Professional 8 API and C# language?
I know that I need use JavaScript APIs (IAC) but I can't find anything really helpful in the Acrobat SDK Documentation. Could anyone post a sample of how use javascript manipulation inside C# (Framework 2.0), or give me a direction?
Thank in advance!

Hi Felipe,
when i am signing the document.
I believe i am missing something in my code. After executing the code to sign, when i open it i get "The following signature fields are not signed".

Use enhanced function of Acrobat SDK

Hello,
We would like to use Acrobat SDK to read PDF files (containing aircraft navigation charts) in our application (under QT), put in a window, trace objects on the image and print.
There is no creation of PDF file, only read mode.
We have tried Acrobat SDK joined with Acrobat Reader but there is not enough function in this case.
We would like to use Acrobat SDK joined with Acrobat Professional to have enhanced functions.
Can we then deployed to our customers our application with some DLL of Acrobat Professional ?
Best regards

As explained in the API documentation, there are many functions of the SDK that are not available if you have not Acrobat Professional.
For instance, all functions in:
- AcroExch.PDDoc
- AcroExch.PDPage
So, it is not possible to select a part of a PDF and redraw, to control the scroll and zoom, and so on.
The only functions available in the SDK with Acrobat Reader is contained in AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF.
Unfortunately, it is very limited.

Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
"3.2 Development Restrictions. You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned. That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application. And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat. I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's. So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application. The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks. I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
So, when you say:
"You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
Do you mean:
It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
And when you say:
"Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
Do you mean:
Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing? (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
Thanks for your input.

Acrobat SDK Licensing and Server Deployment

Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding deploying a .NET Web Application that uses the Acrobat SDK (only for PDF merging). Currently, I have a license for Adobe Acrobat (which gave me access to the SDK to develop the merging). For other developers to work on the same project, they will also each need their own Acrobat license in order to develop with me, correct?
I've completed this project (again, a .NET Web app) and it will be hosted on a web server as part of a larger website. The application generates some PDF reports and will merge the documents together into 1 PDF. The process will be run on the web server when a user clicks a button to generate the reports.
My question is, on the web server, what type of license is needed? Is there a redistributable that can be installed on the web server for the AcroExch.PDDoc COM object (and everything else) or do we just need to purchase another copy of Adobe Acrobat and install that on the server?
If any of this isn't clear, please let me know.
Thanks!

Well, read through a bunch of docs and I believe I may know the answer to my question. It looks like the PDF Library is what I would need to use in order to create applications that I can then deploy to other users or in my case, a server.
The question I still have is, is it still valid to just install the Acrobat SDK on the server (I have an extra license)? Would it still work (since I'm not using any of the specific PDF Library functionality that Acrobat doesn't have)?
Thanks!

Create pdf using Adobe acrobat sdk

Hello,
I'm new to this concept of using adobe sdk to convert a html into pdf.I would like to know few details regarding this..
I went thorugh the documentation but I did not get any help about the vector image support in the pdf and I aslo want to know abot the dpi support in the pdf.
I also want to know wether I can create a pdf form a Html page.
thanks for the help.

>I want this to be on the server.
Ok, we can start there - or stop. The Acrobat SDK is for automating
Acrobat. Acrobat must not be installed on a server. So you cannot use
Acrobat.
Adobe have a PDF Library, which can be licensed for server use. But it
does not have any easy HTML to PDF converter.
You might look into LiveCycle PDF Generator, a different application
with a Java API and more, for server use.
>The dpi what I was talking about was..in the pdf i want a logo to appear that would around 200-300 dpi.That logo is a vector image.
This seems a contradiction. PDF files can store text, vector images
and bitmaps/images. If you store a vector image, it remains vector and
there is no dpi to worry about.
HOWEVER if you can only convert HTML
1. HTML does not support any vector formats
2. HTML often forces images to 72 dpi.
HTML is not suitable for print quality.

Rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()

I am trying to find whether each page in PDF document is color or monochrome.
For doing this I am rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()
Once after rendering the PDF page, I am using GetPixel() to read each pixel value to decide about color or Monochrome.
Problem:
When I read the pixel to decide about the page color or monochorme, in some XP machines it is showing the PDF page as color and in some PC it is showing it as Monochrome. Color quality in both the system is kept as 32 Bit.
After this I tried copying the PDF page directly into clipboard and then take the clipboard image to decide about color and monochorme, but even this also behaves in the similar way.
Question:
Why rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard() is behaving differently in each machines.
If required I will send my sample project.
With regards,
Rajeshrv.

In SDK documentation, there is no methods are defined for getting the color of the page. In color spaces and color values, we can set the color for drawing operations. A method AVPageViewSetColor is used for setting the color.
But there is no methods defined for getting the color in the page. Please let me know , is there any alternative way.
Thanks in advance.

Extract highlighted words from a pdf (Acrobat SDK, OLE)

Hello Acrobat gurus ! :-)
I'm new to the SDK, so please excuse any "stupid" question i might have.
Here is what i want to do:
I want to search for a group of words in a pdf document. According to the SDK documentation, once i search for a text using AcroExch.AVDoc.FindText(), the function "Finds the specified text, scrolls so that it is visible, and highlights it."
I was assuming that after calling this function with my string, once the string is found i will have acces to the coordinates of the rectangle containing the highlighted group of words (i presumed that those words would be automatically contained in an object of the type AcroExch.HiliteList) and to the coordinates of those words.But i'm not able to do so, i cannot find any function(s) that give me that kind of access.
So question is:
Is it possible to access the coordinates of the rectangle/words that are highlighted in a pdf after calling the FindText() function ? Can someone help me get on the right track ?
Thanks

Ok, let me give you an more elaborate example, maybe i don't ask the right question.
Let's say i have a pdf, containing the following text in the first page
--- arbitrary number of ":"
Mother's Name: Joanna
Father's Name: Josh
other text
If i call the function like this: FindText("Mother's Name:"), acrobat is going to find the first occurance of my string. What i want to do is to be able to get the coordinates of this WHOLE string OR the coordinates of the last character in the string (in this case ":").
The problem is that if i go for the coordinates ofthe double dots i cannot just look for them in the pdf, because i may have an unknown number of double dots (":") before the ones i'm interested in. The logical solution in this case would be to get the coordinates of the entire string ("Mother's Name:" in this case) and then get the coordinates of the double dots i'm interested in.
Would that be possible ?

Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.

You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

Usng Acrobat SDK to create form fields on an existing pdf

I am trying to implement a browser based editor for my company's application. This requires to fetch an already created pdf document, add form fields on it and display on a browser.
Does it look feasible? Does Acrobat SDK allow to create a fillable pdf from an existing file?

Vishal:
Take a look at the FormFieldSampleService in the Datalogics PDF Java Toolkit. The toolkit was developed by Adobe and, as you'll see in the sample, provides an API to add fields to a PDF file.
