Creating PDF Documents

In the Acrobat 7.0.5 SDK, there is a new set of APIs that allow you to automate the silent 
creation of PDF files from an external Windows application. 

When you use the OLE Automation described above, the Distiller splashscreen and status 
are displayed even when the process is automated. With this API, there is no interaction 
with the user and no display on the screen; the printing is done “silently.” 

This API allows you to specify the name and location of the output PDF. To do so, you must 
make modifications to the Windows registry. See the Distiller API Reference for more 
information on what registry modifications are required.

This procedure involves editing the registry. Adobe Systems Incorporated does not 
provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and 
application information. It is recommended that you back up the registry before 
modifying it. 

To check status and errors, use the Distiller API. For more information, see the Acrobat  
Distiller API Reference and the Acrobat SDK Samples Guide.

You can control the Adobe PDF settings file through the Distiller user interface, or you can 
control Distiller programmatically through the various Distiller automation methods. For 
details on automation methods, see 

 and the Acrobat Distiller API Reference.

At the user interface level, you can set Distiller parameters by selecting a file of predefined 
Adobe PDF settings, or by creating your own set of Adobe PDF settings. Each Distiller 
settings file defines compression, font embedding, color management, PDF/X-compliance, 
and many other properties for all PDF files that Distiller creates. 

Distiller comes with several predefined Adobe PDF settings files, with settings defined for 
common scenarios. You choose which settings file to use as a parameter to the Distiller 
Automation API. For a complete list of settings, see the Acrobat Distiller API Reference.

The most convenient place to generate advanced Acrobat features is in the authoring 
application itself, since this application knows the most about the structure of the 
document. Advanced PDF features are generated using the 

 PostScript operator. 

The authoring application must generate a PostScript language file that contains the 
appropriate pdfmark operators for the document structure desired. The resulting 
PostScript language file is converted into a PDF file via Distiller. In addition, Acrobat allows 
logical structure information to be added to a document. For instance, paragraphs in a 
page’s contents can be associated with a structural element representing a paragraph.
