Form array order be changed in VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA function

Posted on

Thank you very much for your information!

One of the options in our PDF creation process leads to the call order,

- VeryPDF PDFFontDelDup
- ...
- VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA

before the final document is going to be used as output document.

If I understand you correctly it might be possible that ConvertPDF2PDFA also rearranges the form array order.
--> Do you think that it is also possible to keep the form array order in VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA function?
--> If it is possible to keep the form array order in ConvertPDF2PDFA function,  would a corresponding correction / enhancement be included in the original feature offer?

Due to the fact that we would need the defined form array sort order also for PDF/A-compatible documents, the enhancement of only PDFFontDelDup would not solve our requirement.

Hi,

>>If I understand you correctly it might be possible that VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA also rearranges the form array order.

Yes, ConvertPDF2PDFA() module will rearrange the form array order too, it may also rearrange the object number in the resultant PDF/A file.

>>--> Do you think that it is also possible to keep the form array order in VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA function?

I think it is too difficulty to keep the form array order in ConvertPDF2PDFA function, however, I will research this function at later, I will let you know if it is possible to keep the form array order in ConvertPDF2PDFA function.

I can't give you an answer at the moment, I will come back to you after I finished the research on VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA function, thanks for your patience.

>>Due to the fact that we would need the defined form array sort order

I understand your requirement.

Just a question, is it possible for you to solve the "the form array order" in your application? Is this problem can be solved easily from your application?
=====================================
I have researched the VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA() function just now, VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA() does change lots of things to PDF format, for example, it will embed necessary fonts into PDF file, insert metadata, insert PDF/A tag, convert CID Fonts to PDF/A compatible fonts into PDF file, and last, it will synchronize forms from old PDF file to new PDF file, the object number will be changed during synchronization.

So, in the VeryPDF ConvertPDF2PDFA() function, the form array will be changed by two methods,

1. Object numbers are changed in new PDF file, for example, the old object number is 10, the new object number may become 20,
2. The form array order be changed in the new PDF file,

It is too difficult to solve above two problems, the problem #1 (object number changing) is more difficult than problem #2, in order to solve problem #1, we have to set object numbers in form array to highest level, and renumber other objects, we need change our source code a lot.

Just a question, is it possible for you to overcome "form array order" problem from your application? Is this can be done easily from your application?

PDF Form Filler load data from data source

Posted on

Are any of your products capable of taking data from an outside data source and load it
into a pdf form that execpts data fields (form filler).
==========================
Thanks for your message, our PDF Form Filler product is able to load form data from XML, FDF, XFDF, etc. files, you can save your data to XML, FDF or XFDF format first, then you can load it into PDF Form Filler product for filling automatically.

VeryPDF PDF Form Filler product can be downloaded from following web page,

https://www.verypdf.com/pdfform/index.html

Also, we are planning support database as data source in the future, for example, the future version will be able to load the data from MySQL, you can just specify a table in mysql database, VeryPDF PDF Form Filler product will load the data from this table and insert the data into PDF files automatically.

advanced pdf tools

PDF Linearization

Posted on

I just purchased the VeryPDF Advanced PDF Tools SDK product.

When I save the PDF output with the -! True setting the output file reports that it is optimized but the file will not stream properly from a web server.  If I re-save the PDF output with Acrobat, which re-saves the file with linearization within Acrobat then that file will stream properly from a web server.

Can you verify that linearization still works in the Advanced PDF Tools SDK product?
=============================
Please download the latest version of pdftoolsdk.dll from following URL, the latest version does support -S switch for linearization,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

VeryPDF
=============================
Thank you for the updated file.  What is the exact format of the -S command since I cannot get it to work.

-i filein.pdf -o fileout.pdf       then what???
=============================
You can use following command line for -S parameter,

pdftools -i filein.pdf -o fileout.pdf    -S "linearize=true"

you can use following VC++ source code to use the -S parameter,

__declspec(dllexport)
int WINAPI VeryPDF_PDFTools(LPCTSTR lpCommand);

char szCommandLine[1024];
char *lpLicenseKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
sprintf(szCommandLine,"pdftools.exe \"-$\" \"%s\" -S \"linearize=true\" -i \"%s\" -o \"%s\"", lpLicenseKey, "C:\\test.pdf", "C:\\_test.pdf");
int nRet = VeryPDF_PDFTools(szCommandLine);

if you still can't get it work, please feel free to let us know, we will create an example project to you shortly.

VeryPDF
==============================
Thank you for the update.  It appears to be working but it is very slow.  Much slower than the VeryPDF Advanced PDF Tools command line version (over four times slower).

The last two versions of the DLL are much larger in size than the original release (3,000kb vs 300 kb).  Did you perhaps send me a debug version, which makes the processing so slow?  If so, could you send me a release that is as fast as the command line version?

Thanks
==============================
1). Because the latest version is using a different method to linearize the PDF file, the new method is compatible all formats of PDF files, but the speed is slow. If the speed is important to you, we can present a copy of PDF Tools Command Line version to you free, you can use PDF Tools Command Line version to linearize your PDF files in most case, if you encounter a PDF file which can't be linearized by VeryPDF Advanced PDF Tools command line, you can use latest version of VeryPDF PDF Tools SDK to linearize it again, is this solution okay to you? If yes, please let me know, I will present a copy of PDF Tools Command Line to you shortly.

2). No, the latest version is not the debug version, because latest version is contain lots of different methods to compatible all formats of PDF files, this will increase the file size, this is normal.

PDF Split-Merge Unknown Source error

Posted on

I get an “Unknown Source” error about 75% of the time when I try and use the PDF merge function.  What typically causes this?

Thanks.

I have tried sending the files to you and you don’t have the same problem.  I think it has something to do with my system.  Sony Vaio running Windows 7.
==================================
What version of PDF Split-Merge are you using?

We suggest you may download PDF Split-Merge v3.0 from our website to try again, will PDF Split-Merge v3.0 work fine to you?
