Security Handler to use Adobe's Standard to Encypt and Decrypt File

Hello,
I am trying to write an Adobe Acrobat Security Handler plug-in based on the sample provided by Adobe.
Within the plugin source code - a CRYPT_KEY of 'Mickey' is used to encrypt/decrypt the document once the security handler is placed on the document.
Is there a way to use Adobe's CRYPT_KEY? Or what do I pass back from the callback function NewCryptDataExProc - so that a document with Adobe's encryption/decryption is used on the file?
The main goal is such that the document needs my security handler plugin to open/view the document. Please note that we know the open password and the owner password that we set on the file.
Thanks in advance for any advice and information anyone can provide.

We are trying require the user to have our plugin to open the PDFs that we supply them. If we use Adobe security - then anyone who know's the password can open the files. Now, there isn't anything to prevent them from sending along the plugin also - but that is another issue.
We would like to use the plugin to set the security on the file before the user gets the file - but the file is coming from another division and they are currenty unable to spend the time to update their process to include the that step. But, the files are set with Standard Adobe security. We are however able to tweek the PDF file, in the trailer, to recognize that our Security Handler is to be used.
So, when our security handler kicks in - it doesn't send back the appropriate 'key' to Acrobat and all the pages come up blank.
This is a temporary messure. We are currently getting a plan together to use Adobe Life Cycle (DRM), but the hardware acquision and other beauracy is keeping that from materializing for a few months and we need something yesterday (as my boss says).
If you have any guidance or suggestions - that would be welcome.

Converting a word 2000 file into pdf using Adobe Acrobat Standard X

I reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat Standard X today, and tried to convert a *.doc word file into pdf, but the application could not open the word file and got stalled. I remembered that last time I installed the application the same probelm cropped up and I had to install a Microsoft patch that was required to do this, What is the patch file and how do I get it?

I answer my question myself. I have solved it myself. The answer can be found by searching adobe website. But I give it here if it can be useful to others. Go to control panel. Go to Add or remove programs. Click on Modify in the listed Adobe program. Click Next in the box that appears. Select Modify. Click on + sign against pdF maker to expand. Click on X sign against 'this feature is not available' which shifts on to the little box on the left of Microsoft Office. Click on Apply. Quit. Once the Microsoft Office becomes disabled in Adobe, Word will open in all places.

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

Is it possible to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer from a pdf file ?

Hi,
I have a pdf file and I want to print using Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer so that the file to be uploaded to https://cloud.acrobat.com. Is this possible ? Right now an email is received that "Adobe PDF Pack could not successfully convert your file filename.pdf to Adobe PDF. Your uploaded file type is not a supported format. Or pdf file type is not supported ?
Thank you

Hi adelon84,
If the file is already a PDF, you can upload it directly to Acrobat.com. Just log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and password, and click the Upload File icon (the cloud with an arrow), navigate to your PDF file, and click OK!
(Once a PDF, no need to convert to PDF again!)

Are there any differences between using Adobe Illustrator on a MAC and on a PC?

Hello,
I'm about go enroll in a class specialized for teaching Adobe Illustrator in order to be able to use the program at work. The company that I work at uses Macintosh computers to deal with clerical work and everything, so I would like to know if there are any differences between using Adobe Ilustrator on a MAC and on a PC. The school that offers training teaches two types of classes, where one uses Illustrator on a MAC, and the other one on a PC. The PC class is able to have an earlier start date, which is why I'm sort of leaning towards choosing that class as I need to be able to use the software as soon as possible, but if there are main differences between the interface that will affect my knowledge of using Illustrator on a MAC after I take the class with Windows systems, then I will most likely be waiting for the class teaching in MAC systems.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh and another suggestion- should I take the Illustrator class in CS6 or CS5?

Reading through the CS5 vs CS6 performance thread, the Mac version seems to have worse performance than Windows version. From a starter's perspective the differences would most likely never be realized. It will take some time to see differences between even CS5 and CS6 other than the visual aspect of course.
Definitely take the CS6 versionso you can say you have it. CS5 is my preferred version, CS6 is garbage with the bugs it has for the type of work I use it for.

Hi kevinv1987,
It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
Please let us know how it goes.

Trouble connecting to https secure web service using Adobe Livecycle Designer

I am attempting to use Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 to create a data connection in a Form to a secure (https) web service and I'm having some difficulty.
I'm new to Livecycle and have tried searching online for an answer, but the help isn't very clear and the only tutorials online that I can find are ones that connect to non-https services.
The WSDL I'm trying to connect to is: https://uk.ws.ondemand.qas.com/ProOnDemand/V3/ProOnDemandService.asmx?WSDL
My questions are:
Q1. Does Adobe Livecycle support https web service connections? The following link suggests that this isn't possible: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yOOcM3Bn4BAC&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=secure+web+service+w ith+adobe+livecycle&source=bl&ots=jm1GIZflOJ&sig=uLfv5Xda4eXXJl5o_7vBViwU-w0&hl=en&sa=X&ei =WLvIT5P4OujW0QWmv7nDAQ&ved=0CI4BEOgBMAk#v=onepage&q=secure%20web%20service%20with%20adobe %20livecycle&f=false
Q2. I've managed to consume the WSDL but can only see the body of the XML request for a particular SOAP action. Where can I add the username/password credentials? I've selected "Requires Message-Level Authentication" during the new connection wizard, but it doesn't prompt me at all for these details.

Hi,
I tried using SOAP.Connect too..
But I am facing the same problem.
Any solution found yet?

Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

Hey,
Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.
And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This forum is only for discussions on the forums themselves. I would suggest that you start from the Acrobat forum,
