Creating Certificate using Acrobat dll in C# program

Hello,
I need to create a certificate, basically .pfx file in C#. I used makecert tool to create the certificate first and then export it into .pfx file through command line. My attempt was successful. Then I used the .pfx file to encrypt a pdf using iTextSharp. The pdf is encrypted successfuly but when i try to open the pdf, Acrobat/Reader shows a message "You do not have access rights to this encrypted document". I intalled the .pfx file but the problem still remains.
Can anyone please guide me what am I doing wrong. I used the following code from command prompt to create a certificate and then export the certificate to a pxf file
Create certificate - makecert -r -pe -n "CN=My CA" -ss CA -sr CurrentUser -a sha1 -sky signature -sv MyCA.pvk MyCA.cer
Export to pfx - pvk2pfx -pvk MyCA.pvk -spc MyCA.cer -pfx MySPC.pfx -po <password>
Is it possible to create a pfx file using acrobat dll in C#??
Please help me, its urgent.
Thanks in advance!

No, there are no APIs for working with certificates from C#.

Create forms using Acrobat

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WSB3F26303-0F1D-494a-BC55-7BF7F6684B4D.htm l

Just found the solution (and it worked):
If for some reason “Enable Additional Features…” is greyed out, make sure that you are not still in the form editing mode. Under the tasks panel (usually in the right-hand column) click the “Close Form Editing” button and it should solve your problem.

How to create a certificate using keytool / terminal?

I have problems with creating certificates using the terminal. I use the instructions below and typed in all the required information. When it asks me to type "yes" and confirm, the whole process just starts from the beginning over and over and I have to type in the same things. What do I do wrong? How do I confirm the information I typed in?
I am trying to create a certificate to sign apps for GooglePlay and Amazon. I am using DPS Professional.
Thanks for help!
Instructions:
(Mac OS) Create a certificate file using Keytool
Open Terminal, which is located in the Applications > Utilities folder.
Type (or paste) the following line (replace “myname.key.p12” with the actual name of your certificate):
1
keytool -genkey -v -keystore myname.key.p12 -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -storetype pkcs12 -validity 10000
Specifying “10000” sets the expiration date after 22 October 2033.
Enter and reenter a password. Until the Viewer Builder supports the creation of custom Android apps, it's necessary to share this password with Adobe. Create a password that you can share.
Follow the prompts to specify the certificate information.
When prompted to confirm choices, enter yes, and then press Return to use the same password.
A certificate is created in your prompt location, such as your user name folder. Copy this certificate file to a known location. Write down the password as well.

It could be access/rights issue. Enable root user and try again.

To access bookmarks in pdf doc using acrobat sdk with C#

Hi, I am converting a word doc to PDF. While doing this the headlines in word doc are getting converted to bookmarks in PDF & I get a bookmark tree. I want the bookmarks to be collapsed. I am using acrobat dll to convert word doc to pdf. Want to use the same to collapse the bookmarks.

Hi Irosenth,
If we have Acrobat installed on our m/c in Micorsoft office word I get an "Acrobat" tab. In that I get an option to create "PDF" from word.
So keeping this in mind I created a project in C# using VS 2008. In this project I took the reference of "Acrobat.dll" the com library.
Using the reference of this library I converted the word/excel/ppt docs to PDF.
Below is the code snippet :
public
void startConversion(string docFile, string pdfFile){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDocClass _acroDoc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDocClass();Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc _pdDoc = null;
string strNonPDFFile = docFile;
string strPDFFile = pdfFile;
_acroDoc.Open(strNonPDFFile, strPDFFile);
_pdDoc = (Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc)(_acroDoc.GetPDDoc());
_pdDoc.Save(
Convert.ToInt16(Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull), strPDFFile);
_pdDoc.Close();
_pdDoc =
null;_acroDoc.Close(1);
_acroDoc =
null;}
This does convert Word/exce/ppt to pdf successfully. But I wanted to get access to the bookmarks of the PDF file....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lalit

Upgraded MS Office 2010 to 2013, how do I get the pdf menu option in Word, Excel, etc - Using Acrobat X

Hi
Have just upgraded from MS Office 2010 to Office 2013.
Have lost the menu option "Acrobat" for creating pdfs (using Acrobat X).
How to I get it back?
Cheers

uninstall acrobat, clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and reinstall acrobat.

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .
FAQ | Adobe Acrobat DC
If in case you are referring to any particular issue or problem or if you face any regarding Acrobat DC ,we are always here to help you with that .
Please feel free to write us back .

Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date. When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash. The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll. HELP!

Here's a slightly better version.
set urllist to {"http://www.cnn.com", "http://www.apple.com", "http://www.macintouch.com"}
set numURLs to (count urllist)
on pageloaded(timeoutvalue) -- in seconds
delay 2
repeat with i from 1 to timeout_value
tell application "Safari"
if (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1) is "complete" then
return true
else if i is timeout_value then
return false
else
delay 1
end if
end tell
end repeat
return false
end page_loaded
tell application "Safari"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
set frontmost to true
repeat with i from 1 to (numURLs)
tell application "Safari"
set URL of document 1 to item i of urllist
end tell
my page_loaded(5)
keystroke "p" using {command down}
click menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
keystroke return

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
topic/subject.html - Subject page
.....etc
Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1 was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Topic N Contents
Subject 1 of Topic N
Subject 2 of Topic N
Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Topic 2 Contents
Topic N Contents
Main Topic Contents (a second time)
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Subject N of Topic 1
Subject 1 of Topic 2
Subject 2 of Topic 2
Subject N of Topic N
Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html
Chris

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
Be well...
