Manipulate Pdf files programmatically (class PDF edit)

Hi All !
I am trying to manipulate a bunch of exiting pdf files from a vb.net 2005 application.
After searching lot of hours on intenert I found that Adobe offers an SDK that helps to manipulate the pdf files
i have downloaded Acrobat Sdk 9.1 but little bit confused on the usage of it
can somebody please help me to understand how to start up with ACROBAT CORE API (class PDFedit)
how to use PDFedit class and what to use in "imports"
any help is appreciated
thanks in advance
Sri

I kinda managed to fix it (though its not a right way to do )
step 1:
As i know wat is on the pdf file i developed a form with single page from Adobe livecycle designer
and added the textfield box wherever i need to replace text not touching any other infos and fields.
i got the inputs from the users to fill those fields.Output will be a pdf file with single page
step 2:
created a tiff file from the new pdf file using jsobject.saveas() method
step 3
added it as an watermark to desired x & y position using itextsharp
so it overwrites the oringinal file
looks like we just replaced the texts we wanted to replace
Thanks for all your Help
Sri

Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

Read contents inside pdf file programmatically in SharePoint

I have a SharePoint document library, My Requirement is when user add PDF file on the document library the event receiver fire and read contents inside
pdf file programmatically. After the start workflow according to the result of event receiver.

If your question is about handling events in apps for SharePoint, see these links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220051%28v=office.15%29.aspx
If what you need is a way to extract text from the PDF inside the event handler, see this example that uses leadtools.
http://support.leadtools.com/CS/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=43894
You should use PDF text extractor in your Event Handler code -
You can use iTextSharp for reading content

Need to create a pdf file programmatically

Hi friends,
I am able to read contents of a pdf file in KM repository programmatically. Now I am trying to create a pdf file programmatically. I ve tried the following solutions:
1) pdfwriter. Here i endup with giving the path for the file.I ve tried giving RID and URL of the document. but in vein.
2) createresource. Here i am able to create a txt file. but couldnt find how to create pdf.
Awaiting replies specific to the questions. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
In my view,the solution for this is to create a pdf file in C or any drive of the sever temporarily and get the FileInputstream from that temporary file and with the file stream upload pdf file in to KM repository and finally delete the temporary file u have created.
Follow the code given,it will be more clear
//Creating PDF
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(0,0,2382,3369);
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("D:\PDFfromJava.pdf"));
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("Hi, this is demo PDF file from JAVA!"));
catch(DocumentException de) {
response.write("Document Exception");
}catch(IOException ioe) {
response.write("IO Exception");
ResourceContext rContext=null;
ICollection aCollection=null;
IResource aResource=null;
InputStream myIS=null;
IUser loggedOnUser = (IUser) request.getUser().getUser(); if (loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
rContext = new ResourceContext(loggedOnUser);
RID aRid = RID.getRID("/documents"); // remember that the repository is case sensitive
try {
IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
aCollection = (ICollection) aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
//Creating a File object
File myPDF=new File("D:\PDFfromJava.pdf");
//Getting the stream from temp file
myIS=new FileInputStream(myPDF);
IContent aContent = new Content(myIS,"byte",-1);
if (aCollection != null)
aResource = aCollection.createResource("PDFfromJava.pdf", null, aContent);
myIS.close();
//deleting the temp file from server
myPDF.delete();
}catch(Exception e){
response.write("Exce"+e);
One more thing the file name PDFfromJava.pdf mentioned in bold should be same at all places

PDF edits with Mac OS X Lion Aperçu don't show up on iPad: anyone with this issue?

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion, and an iPad 2 with iOS 5. If I edit PDF files with Aperçu, the drawings or texts I have added do not display on the iPad 2. Is this a known Apple bug? Does anyone else have this problem?

Actually, it is in iBooks that I have this problem with PDF files that have been edited with Aperçu. With iPad Safari, the PDF edits are displayed correctly, through Google docs PDF viewer; I have not tried with iPad Safari independantly from Google docs, but I think it won't work. It does not work in iPad mail for such edited PDF files that are attached to a message.

Are PDFs editable???

Are PDFs editable???
First, how can I make a text PDF word-like to copy and paste text from it, and secondly, I have a PDF of a sketch of a floor plan I need to make some scribbles on. How can I accomplish this?
thanks

PDFs can be edited somewhat with some difficulty. PDF is not intended as a wordprocessor file, nor as a CAD file. But some changes can be made.
An inexpensive program you can try for free is PDFpen:

PDF edit

Hi there
I've filled out a pdf-editable form and email it to someone using windows system. He opened the file and it was blank. He then filled out the form and emailed me back and I also see blank form. Is it to do with the form design? This problem doesn't apply to all forms I used in the past.
Best regards
Jimmy

Some forms cannot be filled in like that; now, PDF does offer the capability of using Tools > Annotate. You can choose Text among other things; however, I've tried that once and had to reset it for every line which was not only time consuming, but did not look that good. So, if the form is not fillable while online, I'd think it would be fastest to print it out, enter the required information, and scan it back in to be attached to an email.

How to compare two XSD files programmatically

Hi
I want to compare two XSD files programmatically to find out whether one XSD is a sub set of another XSD(Means checking all the elements and attributes of one schema to be present in another schema).
Please let me know how this can be done in an efficient way.
Thanks in advance.

Or simply apply an oracle text index on your pdf column:
SQL> create table t (id integer primary key, bl blob)
Table created.
SQL> declare
bf bfile := bfilename('TEMP','b32001.pdf');
bl blob;
begin
dbms_lob.createtemporary(bl,true);
dbms_lob.open(bf,dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(bl, bf,dbms_lob.getlength(bf));
insert into t values (1,bl);
commit;
dbms_lob.close(bf);
dbms_lob.freetemporary(bl);
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create index t_idx on t (bl) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('filter ctxsys.auto_filter')
Index created.
SQL> declare
   mklob   clob;
begin
   ctx_doc.filter ('t_idx', '1', mklob, true);
   dbms_output.put_line (substr (mklob, 1, 250));
   dbms_lob.freetemporary (mklob);
end;

How can I change .RDL files programmatically?

p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal
{margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:right;direction:rtl;unicode-bidi:embed;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';}
@page Section1
{size:595.3pt 841.9pt;margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt;}
div.Section1
{page:Section1;}
Is there any suitable collection of classes for making changes in .RDL files? I want to manipulate .RDL files for building my reports programmatically. But I have not found any programming structure or tool yet.
The way is introduced in MSDN is not a structural way for making enormous changes in .RDL files.
thanks,

Hi,
If you want to manipulate programmatically RDL files, you can use XML Schema Definition Tool and C#. (xsd.exe in Visual Studio)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x6c1kb0s(v=vs.100).aspx
At the start of the RDL File you have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Report xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns:cl="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/componentdefinition" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition">
Copy / Paste "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition/" in your web brower and download the
ReportDefinition.xsd file.
After download, run this command
xsd reportDefiniction.xsd /C
It will generate a class file with this name reportDefinition.cs
You can now serialize, update and save your RDL files in one a C# Object.
I use this method to read and generate documentation about all my report, but i never change programmaticaly a report. (I'm not really sure that report server like that)
An example to XML file reading, data changing (not a ReportDefinition Class)
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ROOT));
// XML => Object
ROOT myFile = (ROOT)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
myFile.MESSAGE.HEADER[0].ORDER_NO = (i + _startIndex).ToString();
FileStream newFile = new FileStream(this.dirName + "\\xml_generated\\XML_" + (i + _startIndex).ToString() + ".xml", FileMode.Create);
serializer.Serialize(
newFile,
myFile
I hope this information helped you, let me in touch if it's respond to your question.
Good luck,
Arnaud

There is any way to let one page of the final pdf exported file editable?

Hi there
You haven't seen any replies because you posted this to the Captivate forums. Hang tight and I'll move it over to the InDesign forums where it may gain some traction.
Best of luck in finding a solution! Rick

Emdedding swf file as class throws error while previewing the component

Dear all,
I am using Flex SWFLoader to load an animated swf file and added it as a component in xcelsius by add on manager. When i click preview button it throws the folloing error.
TypeError: Error #2023: Class must inherit from Sprite to link to the root.
I am embedding swf file by using the following lines of code
Embed('Animation_1.swf')
public var Animation:Class;
Then i tried to create my class by extending Sprite, i got the same error,
Can you please anyone help me to solve this issue, all i need is the way to emded the swf file as class and using it in xcelsius. The embedded swf class is working fine alone (that is outside to the xcelsius).
Thanks & Regards,
Manimaran.

Hi
To embed a .swf file in xcelsius using SWFLoader, you have to pass the path of that swf file to the source property of SWFLoader.
By using class concept xcelsius does not get the path of the swf file you have embeded.
In flex It gets that file because that swf file is present in the same directory as your application.
Hope this helps

Creating JAR files programmatically

I am trying to create JAR files programmatically using the java.util.zip and java.util.jar APIs. I am starting with just a set of directories containing .class files. I can seem to make the JAR but if I try to use any of the classes in it they don't work. But, if I unzip the JAR using WinZip, the classes are usable. So I am somehow building the JAR file incorrectly. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? The code is pretty long so I won't post it yet but I can send it to you if you'd like to see it. Contact by email if you'd like to see the code. Thanks.

What paths are you encoding? Here are a couple of rules:
1 - All paths are '/' separated, and do not begin with a '/'.
2 - All paths are relative (see 1) and contain the exact package name of the class, plus the class.
E.G., the class java.lang.Object would look like this in your jar:
java/lang/Object.classNothing more or less.

Trying to view a class to edit

I have extracted a class(servlet) I have developed for use in my server directory. I have lost the .java program in my NetBeans editor that I used to create the program. My only copy of the code is the .class file that I have in my server directory. I want to be able to edit the .class file again but do not know how. What must I do to view the content of this class file? Do I create another .java file and import or add the .class file to the new .java file directory? If so how do I do this? I have tried opening the .class file with an editer like notepad and copying the content into a .java file for me to edit, except when I open the .class file it gives me a wingding or heirogliphic style encoding. Again, what must I do to get a copy of the class into a .java file so I can edit the content??
Thank-you for your help.

Class files are compiled java files. You cannot edit them directly, You have to use a decompiler to to decompile the class file.
The result oftentimes contains codes that you don't write. so you have to rebuild the result of it to a new java file.
