Hi,
Can you please confirm to me if I can digitally sign a DWFx using the DWFToolkit-7.6?
Best regards

Thank you for your question.
DWFToolkit-7.6 doesn't support to digitally sign DWFx files. However, Autodesk Design Review (ADR) has such function. You can download ADR from here.
Please let me if you have any further questions.

Jerry,
I found, download and install ADR and test the digitally sign of DWFx...working well
But my request is to programmatically do this operation and not from a ready tool. Any solution?
Best regards
Jamil

We cannot give out the code for signing DWF files. Otherwise people could
write applications to thwart the signing. Owen Wegard of CADLock can tell
you all about it.

Jerry,
What is the problem of having the API of locking and building applications to do so?
I don't know the strategy to Autodesk about that but if we compare DWF to PDF, we can see that Acrobat gave out the code of signing a PDF so any application can sign it using the right certificate.
How can I contact Owen Wegard?
Best regards
Jamil

Scott: Exposing an API or documenting the file format does not compromise a digital signature. In fact, not making it easy to programmatically add or verify digital signatures makes them less useful. I haven't yet looked at the digital signature support in ADR 2010. Is it really not documented or exposed via API at all? -- Owen Wengerd President, ManuSoft < http://www.manusoft.com> VP Americas, CADLock, Inc. < http://www.cadlock.com> "Scott Sheppard - Autodesk" wrote in message news:6284950@discussion.autodesk.com...

I can't find any documentation or sample about the digital signature into the Toolkit-7.6.
Please, can you confirm if I miss something?

Jamil: I took a quick look at ADR 2010, and it looks like Autodesk have created a custom digital signature format instead of using the XPS digital signature format (< http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd372947(VS.85).aspx>). I recommend ignoring Autodesk's undocumented and poorly supported implementation and using Microsoft's instead. The current version of ADR seems to ignore XPS digital signatures, so using XPS digital signatures will require the use of XPS viewer or your own custom UI for signature validation. -- Owen Wengerd President, ManuSoft < http://www.manusoft.com> VP Americas, CADLock, Inc. < http://www.cadlock.com> "jamilnour" wrote in message news:6286068@discussion.autodesk.com...

Owen,
Thank you for the information.
I am ready to go with the XPS option but it seems convertion DWF(x) to XPS looses picture quality.
Any suggestion?

That should not happen. The geometry in the DWFx for 2D should be in XPS
format.

looses picture quality. It's not necessary to "convert" the file. Try just renaming the .dwfx file with a .xps file extension. -- Owen Wengerd President, ManuSoft < http://www.manusoft.com> VP Americas, CADLock, Inc. < http://www.cadlock.com> |

Owen,
Thank you for the information....
But in some 2D DWFX files I have the message
"This DWF file contains extended content that cannot currently be displayed in this application" shown on IE 8.
so it is not fully supported?

Jamil: I'm not familiar enough with DWF to say exactly what is supported, but I do know that XPS viewer only displays 2D DWF graphics. Perhaps Scott or someone else from Autodesk can clarify. -- Owen Wengerd President, ManuSoft < http://www.manusoft.com> VP Americas, CADLock, Inc. < http://www.cadlock.com> "jamilnour" wrote in message news:6289106@discussion.autodesk.com...

That file is a DWF file not a DWFx file. wrote in message news:6289206@discussion.autodesk.com... http://freewheel.labs.autodesk.com/sample/Hotel5.dwfThe file above downloaded from freewheel site can't be opened inside IE after saved to DWFX then renamed to XPS. Best regards Jamil |

If you also have other data in the same file, such as a 3D view, the XPS
viewer is letting you know that the XPS viewer cannot display the non-XPS
data in the file.

Scott,
Can you confirm it the "markups" of a DWFx file are packaged into a separate folder?
If yes, what is the name and how to know it?
I aready created a thread to programmatically access the markups of a DWFx. NO ANSWER
Thanks
Jamil
