Those are interesting algorithms, and phiLho; I honestly thought about doing that, but is processing, made with processing??

 

benja:

could you elaborate on your solution? I never had worked with config type of file before? I wouldn't even know where to begin. Could you explain a bit with more details?

 

Thanks guys 

I feel like if anybody can help me, it is you PhiLho, thankfully, you are all over this forum. Here is my code, it runs perfectly, but, when I click save, I want it to create another .exe, rather than a .tiff image, let me add, it does't have to be exe, just something I can display the pdf, not an image, without editing options I will add in the future. To start click import and pick a pdf file;

Yes Philho, you got my answer I think. A self displaying PDF, after the changes made to the PDF, like the background color change, and highlighting, I can do all those, with the program I made above, runs smooth, the problem is, somebody else will make changes to the PDF using that program, and he/she will export that, than, somebody else will use, what is exported, to read the document.

 

And yes it is considered as the target computer has Java.

 

Idea is, because pdf viewers can be saved, printed, shared etc. This person, wants to eliminate those, because he will be displaying some importand files to others, so the others can only display it, not to share it. That's why he wants to edit the PDF first, and allow someone to view it as an exe, or anything other than PDF, or like you said;

You want a self-displaying PDF document? Something not needing Acrobat Reader or similar to be displayed?
