Form2PDF Description

Form2PDF is a standalone UNIX PDF utility for converting text files to PDF, optionally adding a background image in the process. Form2PDF is a standalone UNIX PDF utility for converting text files to PDF, optionally adding a background image (a form) in the process. Form2PDF project can also send the resulting PDF file as an e-mail with the PDF file as an attachment. This is done through a built-in SMTP client and it does not depend on any other components.Here are some key features of "Form2PDF":· Support for SMTP authenticationNow Form2PDF can communicate with SMTP servers that require autentication. Currently the authentication methods "login" and "plain" are supported.Options: --smtpuser, --smtppasswordSend mail using SMTP authentication. form2pdf --smtpuser=user1 --smtppassword=secret --sender info@example.com --mailto user@example.com test.txt test.pdf· PDF document encryption and protectionIt is possible to "lock" PDF documents preventing access or specific actions. Locking a document will also encrypt the contents of the document. For encryption a 40-bit RC4 algorithm is used which does not provide as strong encryption as the 128-bit algorithm available in later versions of Acrobat Reader but on the other hand is backwards compatible down to Acrobat Reader 3.The option --ownerpassword is used in combination with --pdfprotectmask to protect the document from unauthorized editing or printing. The --userpassword option will force users to enter a password before they can even open and view the document.The argument for --pdfprotectmask is a bitmask that defines what operations are not allowed: 4 - Print, 8 - Modify, 16 - Copy text and graphics, 32 - Add or modify text annotations and form fields. The default value is 8 (Modify).Options: --userpassword, --ownerpassword, --pdfprotectmaskProtect document from modification (editing):form2pdf --ownerpassword verysecret test.txt test.pdfProtect document from modification and printing:form2pdf --ownerpassword verysecret --pdfprotectmask 12 test.txt test.pdfPrevent users from reading the document unless the have the password, "secret".form2pdf --userpassword secret test.txt test.pdf · Sending of e-mail without PDF conversionForm2PDF can now be used as a simple SMTP client for sending a text message and an arbitrary number of attachments.
