Adobe Acrobat - SDK
Hi,

I know this isn't the best place to post, but no-one at Adobe is answering me, so its worth a try :)

Basically, I'm trying to write a Perl script that integrates with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (NT). However, I can't for the life of my, find the SDK kit, or even a shred of sample code. I literally just need to generate a .pdf dynamically, based from an upload .doc file.

Anyone got any pointers? Smile

TIA

I haven't had a chance to do much with PDF but I found these links on CPAN:

http://www.pdflib.com/
http://search.cpan.org/...0.41/lib/PDF/API2.pm

Nothing specific to converting from doc to pdf though. Please post back if you find something. I'd like to take a look at it as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't look like either of those convert to .pdf from .doc :( I tried installing the win32 version, but the examples given suggest that it can only be used to generate from .html pages, which wouldn't be too much use for me, as the .html conversions from .doc are pretty rubbish, in comparison to the originals :(

Thanks anyway :)

Cheers
