Question

Prompted security warning dialog twice before postscript to PDF file conversion

So I'm currently being prompted "Do you trust the source of this file and want to convert it?" twice when I try to do postscript to PDF file conversion. I followed the how-to here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/security-warning-postscript-pdf.html#

 

But this only removes the first instance of the prompt. Any help will be appreciated.

 

I am running Windows 10 with Adobe Acrobat Pro (Continuous Release).

Do you need to use eps? eps is an older format that can be problematic. What is the source of the eps? Can you open the eps in the source application and save or export as a pdf?

    Hello @Luke Jennings3 ,

    The EPS file is like a watermark that we superimpose on top of the other PDF file, so I don't know if converting it to a PDF will be a viable option because we still need to dynamically create the "watermark" as it varies page to page but I will look into it to see if it can be done.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,

     

    If I understood correctly, you are trying to import a postcript file to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

     

    Unless there is an issue with copyrighted font types that doesn't allow enbedding (or Acrobat nor Windows 10 having an equivalent font type to substitute with) , this is ery odd.

     

    Usually you just open postscripted files directly with Adobe Acrobat Pro; it will handle the conversion automatically, so I am unsure why the manual extra step is needed to convert from postscript to PDF.

     

    Also, did this happened after updating your Acrobat Pro as recommended in the link that you provided, or is it missing the last update(s)?

     

    In any case, does the problem persists even after repairing the installation and rebooting the computer?

    Hello,

     

    Sorry for the delayed response. We are trying to merge an EPS file with a PDF using the available Adobe libraries in Visual Studio. So we are not trying to do it directly through the Adobe Acrobat UI.

     

    Reparing and rebooting did not rectify the issue.

     

    Thank you in advance for your time and help.

    Hi @Mario25760337bhdv ,

     

    Just a quick follow up to see if you were able to resolve this issue.

     

    I forgot to ask you if you've been able to take a look at the Acrobat Distiller API Reference?

     

     

    Specifically how to pass command line options and processing file lists.
