Robust PDF editing on the fly

Hello!,

Longtime member, rare poster here.

I am browsing around right now regarding the subject line, and have
looked at the HTML_toPDF project

http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php

that also includes a PDFEncryptor
system in it.. but I thought I'd post to the list to see
if anyone has any recommendations or comments.

I'm particularly looking at editing some of the more advanced
security features of PDF (if possible) on-the-fly.. things such as
limiting printing, encryption etc..

I am building some basic epub sale/distrobution/DRM
features for a client.

TIA for any comments!

Donovan

I don't think PHP really has anything good for higher level editing of
PDF's. Simple stuff only really. You could maybe look at doing some
command line stuff on a system using a later version of OpenOffice which
has just now got some very good PDF editing features.

Thanks,

Hi Ashley,
Actually, I installed this:

http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcp df

and was able to apply certain DRM stuff right away. I haven't
yet tried editing an existing pdf document with it.. but I created
a pdf from scratch that required a password to do just about
anything... open, print, modify, copy etc.. A good start anyway.
