Re: PDF Conversion

Yup I know lots about cracking PDF's. I have a previous history with PDF's
where I was hired to break the protection on thousands of em. During that
job I discovered just how inadequate the standard PDF security was. The
tool I used cost peanuts and took just seconds to find the key and rewrite
the file without any security. The application I am hoping to sell just
needs protection enough to keep K through 6 kids from changing their grades,
before Mom and Dad see them. I'm betting that the standard Adobe PDF
security will do it for me.

Security is already coming in the new version. Be aware though that there
are tools out there to crack this level of security.

The only thing I have on my "Wish List" would be to support PDF Document
Security. I have one potential application (would Email School Report
Cards
to parents) that will require the PDF document can not be edited.

Can't thank you enough for what you have done already. :-) I still
have
not had reason to update the application I deployed back in November
with
the old MDE version of ReportToPDF. I guess I am in the "If it aint
broke
don't fix it" camp.

I'm finally finished my OLEExtractor tool and back to the ReportToPDf
converter. Do you have any suggestions Ron for missing
features/functionality I should add to this next release?

Have a look here http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm

IMO this Access solution for Creating PDF's is the "Bees Knees" No
Active
X, No licencing issues, Zero cost. Copy a couple files to the target
machine (neither DLL requires any registry entries), write a few
lines
of
code, and you are in super fat city.

I want to generate reports that will be mailed to customers from an
Access
application and would like to have the report converted to PDF. Is
there
a
plug-in that will allow that to occur on machines that may not have
Adobe
Acrobat, in the same way that there is a run-time license of Access
for
machines without Access 2003.
