Hi
I have a livecycle service running, converting msword files to pdf.
I am in the process of configuring a more complex process that will (optionally) assemble other pages onto the pdf, generates a jpg thumbnail and then (finally) assigned reader-extensions rights to the doc.
convertFromWord -> thumbnail gen -> reader-rights
I have some application code (acrobat plugin api / PDF library) which modifies pdf documents, adding watermarks. I would lke to execute this step in between thumbnail generation and the reader-extensions rights are assigned. e.g.
convertFromWord -> thumbnail gen -> watermark -> reader-rights
How might I go about incorporating this into liveCycle?
Is this a custom document component I can write? Is there an existing service I can adapt?
Do i need to write this in Java, or can i use my c++ implementation?
I can't find any reference to any way of being able to modify a pdf within liveCycle using via the official PDF APIs, hence I am hoping someone on this forum can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
