Encrypting an existing PDF file

Penkala — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:08:40 +0000

Hi,
Good Afternoon.
I am trying to encrypt an existing PDF file using the below code that was part of the PDFInclude project i have downloaded from this site.

I assume, after the end of the program, the output file 'hello-encrypt.pdf' supposed to be encrypted. But the file can be opened without any password.

Can you please help me?

Also, Is there anyway we can open an encrypted PDF document using 4GL commands.

I greately appreciate anyhelp that you can provide.

Thanks,
Satish.

Use template PDF file multiple times.

wvdgraaf — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:42:26 +0000

I have a Invoice PF template that I use for generating digital invoices to be e-mailed to our clients.
I have an performance issue, because of the loading of the pdf template.

For every invoice I want to generate, the PDF template is loaded. After issuing a pdf_close, the temp tables containing the template information are cleared and I have to reload the template file.

Is it possible to issue a pdf_close, so the pdf-invoice is written to disk and then continue with the next invoice by using pdf_new?
But WITHOUT having to load the template file again.

Certain Win7 clients failing to create workable PDF files using PDFInclude

jeanjump — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:42:03 +0000

I have two different users running the same PDFInclude app both on Win7 and Progress 9.1C. One works fine the other gets to a point that I cannot tell how far and the Progress app dies very ungracefully (just stops responding) and when you try to open the PDF file Adobe just says, "There was an error opening this document. The file was damaged and could not be repaired." I have attached both example PDF files to this issue. The "bad" PDF files always ends up being 15.79 KB in size. I can open them both using notepad.

PDFInclude Template with Form Fields

xscottehx — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:54:13 +0000

Hi All,

I have used PDFinclude for over a year now. I have used templates successfully. I now however cannot get the pdf template to work when creating form fields through adobe acrobat pro.

I am generating a pdf through open office. I then use this pdf in adobe acrobat pro and create a single form text field and then save this as a adobe acrobat 4.0 and later file. I have attached the file and code. Any help would be much appreciated. I am using progress 10.2b i am still using the older of the two pdfincludes (is it v3?).

Thanks,

Scott

I am having an issue trying to print a file that was created with PDFInclude. I am getting error 5893 "The automation server for AcroExch.App is not registered properly". This worked until we upgraded Adobe to "xi".

The error is occurring in the CREATE "AcroExch.App" statement. I am using OpenEdge version 10 - character mode.

The print program is attached to this issue.

I would appreciate any help anyone can provide me.

I have just started using PDF Include and I am trying to use a PDF Template. However, I am getting the error "pdf_use_PDF_Page Invalid Page #". The code I am using is:

RUN pdf_open_PDF("Spdf", "C:\InvoiceTemplate.pdf", "PO").

Barcodes have whitespace (gaps) between sections which parallel spaces between words in the text values

mhaglund — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:07:10 +0000

I have attached a program listing and output pdf to show what my issue is.

I used the Code39 font which was included with PDFinclude, but also had the same result with a Code128b font.

I need to know if there is a way to print the barcode without the gaps.

Also, is there a way to print the text value in the barcode (see sample.png attachment)?

Adding a hyperlink to a PDF document

joehansen — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 23:06:58 +0000

Hi,

I have used PDFinclude to create PDF documents since last 6 years. I am using version 3.2. How do I add a hyperlink to a PDF document? For example, lets say I have the following paragraph:

"Microsoft releases Surface, a tablet that competes directly with Apple's iPad."

Now, I'd like to make Microsoft point to www.microsoft.com and Surface point to www.surface.com. How can I do that? Does PDFinclude support have that capabilities?

Thanks,
Joe

PDF template on UNIX AIX

aelo — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:09:32 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm new to PDF Include.
I test it on Windows and it seems to work nice.

But now, I'm trying to make the same on UNIX AIX : generating a pdf by filling the fields of an existing PDF Template (the same one used under Windows).

Everything seems to work nice with the data I added by Progress, but the data existing in the PDF Template does not appear in the PDF result.
When I open the file I got the Acrobat message "XObject not found : BV1.", where "BV1" is the page Ident in teh PDF template.

Is zlib.dll always required?..

ristojj — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 12:45:19 +0000

Hi,

I'm having little difficulties using zlib.dll in our product, because I install it to different types of environments and it would be perfect if I could use just clean progress-code (not any unix/windows libraries etc).

I have no need to compress/uncomress or crypt files, so I beleave it would be somehow possible to get rid of that dll library

Any suggestions?

uninitialized MEMPTR error

pete — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:11:21 +0000

I am creating 800 invoices in a batch which inserts one external pdf page in each invoice. after about 250 I get the following error: "DLL procedure uncompress pdf_inc.p using an uninitialized MEMPTR. (3233)". After a ctrl-c it took a long time for it to go back to the login screen. I logged back in and got the error on the first invoice. I logged out of my terminal session, started a new one and could restart the process. It gets the error on the same invoice on a full run. I printed a small batch including the invoice it crashed on and it worked fine. Progress 91E on AIX.
