How to convert a protected document into a PDF?

Hello,
I need to develop a plugin that needs to convert a protected document in office format into a pdf. I looked into the sdk and found the method AVConversionConvertToPDFWithHandler (). But can this method also apply the digital rigths of the protected document to the newly created pdf?
Is there any other way to convert a protected document into a pdf and at the same time apply the rights to the pdf? I don't want to use Adobe LiveCycle for digital rights management.
What are the requirements to develop a DRM plugin for acrobat?
Please Help!
Thanks in advance!

The AVConversion APIs will use Office itself to perform the conversion (well, the rendering part). I would ASSUME that when Office opens the document, it will ask for any necessary passwords or other information to determine if the user has the rights to view and/or process the content of the document. If they do, then the conversion will succeed otherwise it will fail. The PDF will not have any DRM applied to it, since we don't know anything about the Office DRM options.
If you wish to apply DRM to the PDF, you will need to do that yourself or using tools such as LiveCycle Rights Management.

How to convert a word document into the PDF format?

Please instruct me step by step on how to convert several Word documents into the PDF format?

If properly installed and updated (depending on the WORD version), you can simply do any of the following:
1. Open the doc in WORD and select Print, choose the Adobe PDF printer, print.
2. Open the doc in WORD and go to the Acrobat menu in WORD and select create PDF (this uses PDF Maker).
3. Open the doc in Acrobat and the conversion should be done based on PDF Maker.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

Hi Jill,
I would like to assist!
I do not see one of our subscription services in your account. Are you interested in purchasing PDF Pack to convert your document to PDF?
What type of document are you working with? You mention an 'adobe document'? Would you mind being more specific?
Here is a helpful document that explains more about acrobat.com:

How to convert a large document into a InDesign Book w/Chapters?

Hello!
I just started a position with a company that has a number of catalogs full of the widgets they sell. Previously the catalog work was outsourced to a company that uses Quark, and the first thing I did when I started was to convert them to InDesign using a 3rd party plugin.
The one I'm working on now is 400+ pages, including a TOC and 2 indexes (words / item nos.), and is currently 4 VERY large files that take 5-10 minutes each to open.
What I'd like to do is split the entire catalog along logical lines into a bunch of 10-50 page documents, then stitch them all back together as Chapters in a Book file. The plan is to have the smaller documents be usable either as stand-alone brochures or as pieces of the big catalog. Once I can get it all organized the way I want, I'll be redoing the TOC and indexes as well.
So, to boil it down to a few questions:
1. How do I split a large document into smaller pieces?
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!

Saving x-number of copies as new names, then chop off the unwanted parts is pretty efficient.
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
Nothing specific, other than learning the ins and outs of working with book files. For example, if you change a style in one file, you'd want to use the Synchronize feature to propagate the change to the other files, but you'd also need to remember if any change in one file shouldn't be propagated to others, and deselect it in the Synchronize dialog box.
It's a good idea to open all and save all book files before doing any book-wide operation; even better to save the whole directory for safety. Working on open files gives you some undo powers that working with closed files doesn't.
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
The individual files need to be checked and perhaps updated or have their numbering restarted when they're removed from the book file's control. It depends on how you've set up the numbering.
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!
Both TOC and Index have check boxes to include all files in the current book. You need to update the TOC, and generate the index again with Replace Existing Index checked, after making changes.

How to convert a JSP page into a PDF file?

I am calculating and generating a bill in JSP?
I want the output JSP page from the server to get converted to a PDF file.
How to do this?
Please help me doing this!

Hai CeciNEstPasUnProgrammeur
Actually I didnt mean what you are asking?
I will put it in this way,
I am having a JSP output.
If I save that page in the browser it should get
saved as a PDF File,
This is my problem,As far as I can see, you have two options:
1) Ensure you have some kind of rendering tool installed on the server, render your JSP to that engine, capture the output as an image and transform the image to a PDF. Or a variation on that server-side theme.
2) Take the data you would be/are pushing into a JSP, offer a "download" facility that just takes that data and wraps it into a PDF. Your server then serves out that PDF file.
To save the browser view (your JSP) as a PDF each client machine would need to be set up with some mechanism to capture and save as PDF. You can't control that.
I've had to do something similar in the past. In that case though we had a simplar task of just generating a stored HTML file that we could store in the DB and lock down. Our approach was to use XSLT over the generated XML data structure.
I'd advise you doing the same and generating an XML file and then running an XSLT/FO process over it to generate your PDF file. Don't try to do all the fancy stuff on the client environment, that's an environment you usually have very little control over.

I have a major project but i 'm having trouble converting this docx document into a pdf where all th

I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I have a document with a lot of large scale maps 11x 17 paper size (which were saved as PDFs) before they were put into the document. When I tried creating a PDF of this Doc. 8 of these large maps didn't get included or in some cases only small parts of the map, a dot or an arrow show but nothing else.
I tried taking it to Staples but they couldn't help. We tried creating a PDF by scanning it page by page. It worked but the file size is to big to send through channels (government). When I tried opening it with Preview 5 and saving it as a PDF and using the quartz filter to reduced the size but the quality made it unreadable.
This govenment office I have to send this report to cannot take anything bigger than 20mb.
Does anyone have any sugestions?

Can you post a sample document for the forum to have a look?

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.
