Hi,
I recently downloaded the new eval JBOSS server from the adobe web site and I'm trying to assign reader extension rights to a pdf file via a web service call, as demonstrated in the following example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/sdkHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?...My crendential alias is called "test", and it's pointing to the .pfx file I got with the download. I was able to successfully create it using the administration console.
In my .net code, I am using the following code, like in the example:
Dim objOutputBlob As New BLOB
objOutputBlob = objReaderExClient.applyUsageRights(objInputBlob, "test", "the_password_I_received", objReaderExtensionsOptionSpec)
This function is supposed to return a byte() representing the output pdf file, but for some reason it is always returning a null array.
Here's my entire code. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
