Create and sign PDF with IAC?

Hello, does anybody know, how to create simple PDF and sign it with X509Certificate from .NET managed application? It seems to me, that it is not possible with Acrobat Interapplication Communication API. Do I really need LiveCycle for this operation?
Thank you for help.

When you say "create", do you really mean "convert some other format to PDF" or did you want to start with a blank page and then do things like "draw string", "draw line", etc?
Will this be a desktop or server-based application?

  • Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

    I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
    Thanks in advance

    I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
    long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
    pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
    100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
    email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
    size/processing?

    If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

  • Create digitally signed PDFs

    Is there a way to create digitally signed PDFs by using the options at the "Print" menu to "Save as PDF" that is available at certain apps ?
    If there is no built-in solution by Apple, which applications do you use to digitally sign PDFs ? I searched the discussions, but haven't found an appropriate solution so far...
    Thanks for your help

    Is PortableSigner a professional tool that really works ?
    I have no idea how good it is, and I don't really have any benchmark to compare it to. It's hosted at Sourceforge, which might explain why the web site is a big crude-looking. On the other hand, the site says it's a project of the Municipality of Vienna, so I'd say that it appears it's good enough for at least one government.
    My feeling is that a lot of the software at Sourceforge is written for a specific, fairly specialized purpose, and sometimes not a lot of time is spent on the GUI or user-friendly features. But if your purpose happens to meet up with the purpose of the creators, the software can be a life-saver.
    Really, I'd say just download it and try it. Only you know if it's good enough or not. And you've got nothing to lose since it's free.

  • Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

    Hi,
    the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
    Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
    Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

  • Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

    Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

    > Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
    Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
    Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
    Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
    ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
    ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).

  • Can you create a 3D PDF with environment reflections without specialist software?

    Just asking this because I had a job last week in which I was asked to create a 3D PDF with environment reflections... I started by trying to use a combination of Photoshop and Acrobat, and although I could set my materials and environment image in Photoshop, when I exported the 3D layer and imported the U3D into Acrobat, the environment wouldn't come with it, so no reflections. I really searched around for more info, but I couldn't a way to do this with just Photoshop and Acrobat alone. In the end I had to buy a program called SimLab which achieved what I was looking for, but it seems a bit odd that this shouldn't be possible with Photoshop so I wanted to double check I wasn't missing something obvious...

    OK..., but do Photoshop or Acrobat allow you to embed an environment texture into the U3D or PDF in some way?
    The program SimLab will allow you set a reflection map for your meshes and this obviously gets embedded into the PDF or U3D when you export it...

  • How to create and sign CAB files info on Supplement Option

    To all Supplement Option subscribers:
    At the supplement option for iDevelopment Accelerators, I uploaded a zip with detailed info on how to create and sign CAB files (necessary when you are running your application on the Native IE Java Virtual Machine).
    Not all functionality provided to you through JInitiator will work (e.g. WebUtil doesn't) but the way how to make and sign a CAB file will become more easy.

    This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
    We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

  • Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

    I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
    Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
    Many thanks!
    O.

    Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).

  • TS3988 I want to delete my current I.cloud account and sign up with a new one

    I want to delete my current icloud account and sign up with a new one

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted (if running iOS 7).  Then sign back in with a different ID to create your new account.  Be sure to save any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    If you want to migrate your data to the new account, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I log out and sign in with a different name...

    My wife and I share an ipad. I downloaded Skype last night and signed in with no problems. My wife now wants to use it but we can't find any way of logging me out and logging her in. I've tried discarding the Skype window but as soon as I bring it back I'm logged in automatically. There doesn't appear to be any "Log out" tab or menu option. 
    Thanks in advance. 

    Settings>General>About>Name. You can type any name that you like in there.
