I have a client who would like to host a PDF on his site, but make it so
that each individual that downloads it has to open it with a separate
username and password. My question is if any php classes or libraries have
the capabilities to load an existing PDF into memory and basically add in
the login portion of it dynamically. Or, if anyone knows of a 3rd party
executable that can handle this, that would be great too.

Where are the usernames & passwords maintained ?
Just place the pdf in its own subdirectory and protect that directory with
the web server.

That won't stop piracy. Take a look on whatever napster clone /p2p

I believe the folks at http://www.phparch.com/ do that with their

answers.

I know, but it's what my client wants to do. I think I found a way using
pdflib, but my testing server is using an older version the from the pdflib
docs that I read. If anyone is using a newer version of pdflib (5.0+ I'm
guessing) can you please try this:
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($ pdf, "some.pdf") ;
pdf_set_paramet er($pdf, "userpasswo rd", $pass);
I get an unknown parameter error but I am wondering if its just because my
server has pdflib 4.x.x and that parameter was not available then.
according to the pdflib manual, the parameter does exist.
can anyone help?????/////

Well, make the password their credit card number (or some other similarily
sensitive info) and watch that problem vanish!

I am having some problems with trying to perform calculations on time

(on a 24 hour scale, not 12). I want to find the difference in minutes,
divide this result by a predefined size of interval, and make a loop
that runs this many times. For example, with an interval size of 15
minutes, it will return 6 blocks... I have this all working fine, but am

Hi.
I'm doing some image manipulation in an applet using the example code on

not from inside an applet. Any hints on the subject are appreciated.

Hello, in my coding work I'm going to using a lot of matix

Hi,
I would like to find out what ASP/ASP.net can do with image manipulation.
Does ASP have built in functions (eg. after upload to server) to
manipulate images, like rotate, scale, crop etc.? Or are 3rd party
solutions needed to do this?
I am a php/codfusion programmer and know nothing about asp, so I'm
hoping somebody here can help me out.

Hello, I'm currently learning string manipulation. I'm curious about
what is the favored way for string manipulation in C, expecially when
strings contain non-ASCII characters. For example, if substrings need
be replaced, or one character needs be changed, what shall I do? Is it
better to convert strings to UCS-32 before manipulation?
But on Windows, wchar_t is 16 bits which isn't enough for characters
which can't be simply encoded...
