Hi, I am using Core Api. I am resizing pdf files which I am able to do successfully. The logic that I have been using is to create a new page of the desired size and move over and scale the content of the old page and then delete the old page. The problem that I am facing is that the output document...

Hi Alex, This brings me back to my original question that I asked in the first post: Is there a way the Core Api can tell me without throwing an exception that I cannot update the producer for a particular file? Any particular property/method that I can call before actually updating the producer? Wh...

Hi Alex,

I am still not able to figure out the matrix. Can you provide a sample matrix and render rectangle so that I can print a Letter size Portrait pdf onto a Letter size Portrait paper at 300 DPI?

Hi Alex,

Can you please describe or provide a link where the description of how the matrix is constructed? I have went through the link that you provided and could not find it there.

I am using the Core Api if that makes any difference.

Hi, I am using the function DrawToDC but it is taking too long to print the vector pages. Even on the text pages it takes upto 2-5 seconds per page to draw that page. Is there any sample that I can see that prints a simple file (a pdf) using this method so that I can follow the code? I am currently ...

Hi Alex, I have a PDF file that has an invalid signature. When I open up the file I get the warning "At least one signature is invalid." I have looked at the annotation and it is a Widget. My question is that is there a way with the Core Api that I can know that there is a warning related ...

I am using Core API 6.0.319.0. I tried setting the text like you mentioned above but it just prints out the text itself instead of the page number.

Hi, I am looking into converting some old Tracker code to the latest release of Core Api. I could not find equivalent function that I could use for PXCV_DrawPageToDC.

Hi Alex,

So this means that the default value of Scale watermark parameter is 50%. Do you have the list of the default value of all the other parameters as it is not on the help site?

Hi Stefan,

Can you try compiling the project? The exe in the folder might be older and not working properly.

Hi Stefan,

I have attached a sample outcome file. I don't know you are not getting any banners on the output file. The header banners in this file are 36 font and the footer banners are 18 font but they do not look like that.

Regards,
M

mmasood

Hi Alex,

I looked at the code and have the following questions:

1. Where exactly in the code is it scaling to 50%?
2. Is it a default value?
3. How can I set it to be 100%?
4. Are there any other default values that I need to be aware of?

Hi, I am using the Tracker Core Api 6.0.318.1. I am setting the FontSize property of the IPXC_WatermarkParams object that is being passes to the PlaceWatermark method but the font size is not coming out correctly.

Hi Alex,

Yes I am already changing the Media Box.

Hi Alex,

I have tried that but then I cannot extend the page size to the custom page size. So if I do that, how can I extend the page size?

I tried setting the Box property to an updated rectangle of the custom size but that does not extend/shrink the page size.

How can I achieve this?

Hi Alex,

Is there any update on this? I also downloaded the latest version of the Core API (6.0.318.1) and had the same results.

Thanks for pointing out the license key mistake. I will be more careful in future.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the update, the code is working and now I know how to set the conformance level :). But I am having the same kind of issue that I cannot verify the converted pdf file.

Hi Alex, This is the same code that you posted earlier. My questions from the post above are: Q1. Is there a way to do the save operation silently? Q2.

Hi, I am using Pro SDK 5. When i add watermarking to a pdf file, it embeds a font per page into the final pdf. I am looking for a way to either: 1. Remove the duplicate fonts from the final pdf once it is completed 2. or not embed the font if it already exists in the first place. I have searched the...

Hi Alex, I tried the method that you posted and following are my observations: 1. It only works if you have very few (i believe < 10) GStates on the page 2. If we have placed a watermark on the page, it gets messed up (instead of going across the page from bottom-left to top-right, it goes from bott...
