Default error printing secured PFS from Adobe Reader to virtual printer(PDFCreator)


there is a solution for this error (OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec) when
printing a secured pdf to another pdf using PDFCreator.

the solution is to choose Encapsulated Post Script format when you are
in the save as dialog in PDFCreator (choose EPS extension in the
drop-down).

the trick here is to save one page at a time, because ghostview/gsview
can only open EPS files - reliably - which have only one page

after that, install ghostview/gsview and ghostscript.

if you have PDFCreator, you already have ghostscript. you just need to
install ghostview/gsview and go to menu Options Advanced Configure.
In the field "Ghostscript DLL" you must paste the path to where
gsdll32.dll is, typically (or similar to):

"C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\GS9.04\gs9.04\bin\gsdll32.dll"

Below that, in "Ghostscript include path" add this at the end or the
beginning, make sure entries are separated with a semi-colon:

"C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\GS9.04\gs9.04\lib;"

After this is done, you can open the EPS file you created with
PDFCreator... et voila!
Now you can print from gsview to PDFCreator to get a pdf (make sure you
choose the PostScript Printer option when you print from gsview to
PDFCreator).

once you have all the pages, you can join them into one document using
pdftk (free software, google it!).
