Please send me your recommendation on how to tackle this design requirement with the correct adobe software products. Let me know the s/w architecture you recommend too.
My client has a microsoft office 2010 application customized via VBA which is on a windows server. Users remote desktop connect to the server and run the application - multiple users running the application at once on the same server.
A new software enhancement is being requested to allow users to create PDF files. The PDF will need a customized coversheet (and if possible, a table of contents) as well as include entire existing PDFs all merged into one document. They would like to have a pop-up file selector interface then push a button to generate the PDF.
I understand the Acrobat library cannot be used in the server environment. What is the Adobe solution for this; is there a way to create a custom library (dll or such) perhaps using visual studio (c#?) that references the "Adobe PDF Library" (which I understand we'd have to license) which in turn the Office application VBA environment can add as a reference to get to the functionality needed?
Or - what do you receommend?
Thanks!
