hi

currently i am building an application for selling ebook, now i want to create a form to allow user to upload the word document, when visitor make purchase to the ebook i want the system to convert the documet to password protected pdf document. and one more feature is i want to set the document to have expiry date when it passed the expiry date the document will delete itself. like what amazon do currently for ebook. if it is possible.

so, anybody know where i can find the converter component to convert the word document to pdf with encrypt/password security feature?

and set the expiry date?

thanks

Have you thought about buying it? http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatstd.html

The company I work for has software that creates PDF files, using Acrobat that we bought. 

ya I wish to buy it, if it is useful.

so can you tell me more about that??

I haven't looked at the code that does it, but what happens is that we have code that creates raw print files that when downloaded to a printer create a formatted document. And at the same time we're building this raw print file, we also build a PDF file as a representation of the printed output. It may be that the code is simply writing to the PDF print driver (something that gets installed when you have Acrobat), instead of manually creating the PDF file directly, as I said I haven't looked at that part of the code.

As far as PDF's and them having an expiration date, I have no idea how or if Acrobat supports that. I would suggest calling Adobe's pre-sales support.
 

Hi

I have been writing this doubt in many forums but not receiving any answer.So if anybody can help me,I would really appreciate that

I am working on a maintanance project.The project is online job application system in which candidates enter their details and upload resumes and cover letters.When they finish entering details,and hit the submit button internally these details will be converted to a pdf and will be sent back to the candidate as a mail attachment and a copy will be saved to webserver //ACTS/HR-Uploads/ .Now they want to change the location of the server and move to some other server location.So I searched the entire source documents but didn't find any code which converts these details to pdf.So I don't understand where I have to modify this code.

The only code that I find related to pdf is this where spath is the location of web server and the format.But I understood that it doesn't contain code to save the pdf.

 Try

 sPath = HRUploadsPath + "Applications\"

 sPath = sPath & txtUser_Rec_ID.text & "_" & txtJob.text

sPath = sPath & ".pdf"

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "Gibbes.CofC.edu"

objMailMessage = New MailMessage()

objMailMessage.From = jobs@cofc.edu

Dim atcItem As New MailAttachment(sPath) objMailMessage.Attachments.Add(atcItem)

If anybody can help me in this ,I would really appreciate that

Thanks in advance
