I was inspired by Steve Drucker's presentation last night to dig deeper into the guts of PDF.
What I want to do is to use a webservice to control whether a user can print a PDF document or not. Adobe has a LiveCycle policy server product which is overkill for what I want to do (And it's priced at $40K !). So, I just want to do this with ColdFusion. I've almost got this figured out, but I've still got one problem regarding WSDL SOAP Bindings. I need to connect to the server via SOAP to see if it's OK to print. I created a simple CFC that keeps up with users and the number of times they have printed. The CFC just returns whether it's OK to print or not. Here's the problem: In LiveCycle Designer, I get an error that says "SOAP binding must be Document/Literal". I found out that there are various ways to implement SOAP bindings and Document/Literal is one of them. But, how do I convince ColdFusion to use the Document/Literal SOAP binding? In case anyone is interested, here's how I think I can implement the print control: - I'll add a custom Print button to my form, and hide the normal Adobe Reader print button. - When clicked, the Print button will connect to the webservice to see if it's OK to print. And if it is, it will just call the print functions. I'm really amazed at the API that's inside of Adobe Reader -- I never knew this stuff was in there. Thanks for any advice on my SOAP question!
