Printing of PDF File from VFP 8

[rkdua66]

Hi,

I have print approx 5000 PDF files with digital signatures. I cannot merge these files because files with digital signatures cannot be merged.

If someone help to suggest idea of printing withing VFP8 form.

Thanks

adir(myArray,'*.PDF')

would give you an array of all the pdf file in a folder, then loop through the array and use shellexecute to print them.

I am most certainly no expert with Signed PDF documents, but reading references on the web suggests that Signatures (1 or more) apply to the over-all PDF document, not to individual pages within the over-all document.

The following is from:

https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/A...ro/pdfs/signing-a-document-electronically.pdf

When you apply a digital signature, Acrobat embeds an encrypted message digest in the PDF file, along with the details from your certificate and a version of the document at the time it was signed.

In order to verify your digital ID, others who view your document need to have the public certificate from your digital ID.

So if you were to merge multiple PDF's into a single PDF document then the individual signatures would be removed.
Yes a signature (or multiples) can then be applied to the over-all document, but not to individual pages within the document.

If you need individual digital signatures on each separate included PDF document, it is suggested that in Acrobat X Pro or Foxit you create a "Portfolio" which includes all of the separate signed PDF documents.

Good Luck,
