Hi,
There is another solution but it is at client side only.
Open Adobe Reader -> goto Menu 'Edit'-> 'preferences'->'Internet'-> Uncheck 'Display PDF in browser' then press 'OK'.

How to display the "display values" in READ Only mode for a SHUTTLE

Hi,
I have a form item of type *'Shuttle'* and using the following LOV.
   select DEPTNAME d, DEPTNO r
    from DEPTIn normal mode..it displays the department name and internally store the Deptno..
Now I converted this item to Read Only mode using Read Only Condition Type
the problem is as soon as it becomes read only...it displays the deptno....not the department name
            Department-   10:20:30How can I display the "display values" i.e the actual department name in read only mode..
            Department-   Department1:Department2:Department3Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
It seems feature. Shuttle is span tag when it is read only.
Work around could be that
you compute display as text item with LOV display value according shuttle session state and show shuttle and this item conditionally depend case

Adobe reader wont let me highlight, and opens pdf in read only mode, why?

I need help with highlighting pdf, and tke it out of read only mode . When i go to the text edit thing it say "To modefy this document save a copy on device" Its already on my device, so why does it say that? I was able to highlight this pdf before. Was there a recent update that diabled highlighting ?

What is your operating system? Reader version? Are these PDFs writable or read-only on your device?

Instance in READ ONLY mode - DISPLAY mode

Dear,
we dismissed and OLD SAP environment (4.6C), but due to the Italian law, we have to maintain it alive for 5 years more.
I would like to set it in "READ ONLY" mode.
Users could login in this OLD R/3 but, without changing their profiles, system must be set in DISPLAY mode.
Does anybody know a Tips & Tricks to put it in place?
Thanks
Andrea

You should change the users authorizations so that they cannot perform any changes to the system. Usually in cases like this only a limited number of users require access to the system so it shouldn't be too difficult to setup specific authorizations for read only access. I think this is the only choice you have.

Open pdf files in read-only mode

Hi all,
I want to open a file and I want to have option rewrite the file while it's open in the Reader.
Is there any way how to open the file in the read-only mode and even from cmd in Windows?
Thanks in advance.

You can set security in the file to dissallow changesby going to File>Properties>Security in Acrobat. But you can't change anything with Reader.

ALV: columns in read-only mode look like editable columns in edit mode

Hi,
My application contains an ALV table which should be toggled between display and edit mode like the rest of the fields.
The evident solution was to use
if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_read_only( abap_true or abap_false)
However, unlike the rest of the fields, when the application changes into display mode and the fields get grey like in any SAP application, the columns in the table which were editable remain white, and those which were not editable and thus grey, get now white, too, instead of the other way round. So it will look to the normal user, as if now all columns would be editable!
Of course, he would realize that they are not when he tries to edit them, but this is irritating.
See following link with screenshots (only active for 3 weeks from now on):
[Link to my webmail space/SDN: .|https://businesswebmail.telekom.at/filestorage/MzYxMTk1OTMx/]
I have looked
through my books ("Einstieg in Web Dynpro for ABAP", "Praxisbuch Webdynpro for ABAP", ...)
through the wiki for Webdynpro for ABAP here in SDN as well as through this forum (by searching with "ALV edit")
through the notes in BC-WD-CMP-ALV
but could not find any solution. Most tables in those PDF articles found here in the WD4A wiki also show white cells although they are probabliy in read-only mode (e.g. the imitation of the SE16N browser article).
The attributes to the LO_CELL_EDITOR for both Inputfields and textview columns contain exactly the same values when toggling between display and edit mode (read-only in table settings), so also no chance to change here anything.
Also changing the cell design is not a solution as there is no design that looks like grey for not editable according to WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN ([SAP Help - WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/5e9041d3c72e7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm].
I do not know if I have made an error, as this is my 3rd Web Dynpro (after the first 2 of the introduction book), or SAP is really inconsistent in User interface between "normal" fields and ALV table fields.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Erlend

Hi,
In my application aslo, i have 30 columns out of which 10 are input fields. But, i'm showing the table as ABAP_TRUE incase of Non-editable otherwise to abap_false. Now i'm getting everything as in WHITE cells.
Do you want to show it is Grey mode with Non-editable feature. Is that so.
How many columns are there which has Input fields.
Get the column references.
Now, based on the mode of display create the object as Input or Textview field.
For that column -
If mode eq 'D'.
Create an object for Textview(cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view)
else.
Create an Object for Inputfield(cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field)
endif.
The Append row is a standard button or custom one on ALV toolbar.
Do you want to hide the toolbar or just disable these buttons.
If you want to hide the toolbar then refer my wiki -

Acrobat X: browser plug-in always opens PDFs as read-only

Hi all
I have just installed the trial of Acrobat Pro X on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit PC. Prior to this I uninstalled other PDF software (Acrobat 7 and Foxit Reader).
The problem is that the setting in Acrobat preferences to NOT open PDFs in my browser as read-only seems to have no effect.
Specifically the setting is at Edit > Preferences > Internet > Web browser options > Display in read mode by default
Whether this is checked or unchecked, PDFs viewed in either browser on my PC (IE8 or Firefox 3) are opened in read-only mode. One very inconvenient consequence of this is that I cannot annotate PDFs in my browser.
I tried running Acrobat as administrator and changing the setting, but this similarly had no effect.
I expect I will be met by a wall of silence if I attempt to get help about this from Adobe as a lowly trial user -- but it's crucial to deciding whether I want to buy the upgrade to Acrobat X. Can anyone reproduce the issue?
Thanks...

That option is nothing to do with the PDF being editable, it's to control the display of the toolbars. "Reading Mode" is when the toolbars are hidden and the black head-up display navigation bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
PDFs displayed within a web browser with Acrobat/Reader X are not editable, nor can you apply markups, unless you're within a browser-based-review workflow. You have to save a copy locally and open it in desktop mode to make any changes.

Querying up AR Customer OA page in read-only mode for a Single Customer

We are building a Custom Form in which associated Customer <defined in AR> would be queried up.
Now we want to give an option to the User to view the complete details of the Customer. We would be giving a menu option in Tools 'View Customer' thru which he would see the Full Customer Details. <AR Customer OA page>
We have two requirements
1> The Full Customer Details should show up in Standard OA Customer Page the moment page comes up. The user should not be required to query the details.
2> It should be read-only and user should not be able to update any field.
How can we achieve this requirement? I did some RnD but did not see any place in EBS where we display the Customer Page in read-only mode and that too quried up for one particular customer.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
Please let me know if find any solution for this. We have a similar scenario in which we need to call the customer Page with all the inforamtion populated, related to one customer.
Thanks in advance,

Launch Adobe Reader for Android via Intent in Read-Only mode

One issue I've bumped into recently with respect to launching Adobe Reader for Android via an ACTION_VIEW intent is that fillable forms can apparently always be filled and saved, thus modifying the original file. That may be wonderful in many applications, but I have a situation where I would really not like users to be able to make any changes to the document (i.e. filling in fields and saving) at the current time.
I am assuming that there is currently no Intent option to open a PDF in Adobe Reader in true read-only mode (preferably such that fillable fields wouldn't even be fillable).
For now, I'll probably just have to point to a copy of the file, but it would be more convenient to have a handful of properly-documented options for launching read-only via an Intent.

GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

Using edit box in Read only mode

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 with OAF.
In one page I have created one region with a few edit boxes. In this region I want to display the information using the edit boxes in a "Read Only" mode so that it matches with the same background colour.
If the content of the edit box is small, i.e.: a few characters long, but if the content is large about 150 characters, then if I make the edit box read only, then it does not come to a new line. For this I have to make the edit box in "Disabled" mode. In "Disabled" mode only, the long message is shown in multilines. But my problem is that, when I make is "Disabled, it does not become uniform with other edit boxes with the same background colour. Can you please suggest, how can I address this problem.

Shuttle issue when in read only mode

version: Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
I have created a shuttle based on an LOV. It displays the correct values on the left.
select party_name d, party_id r
from tbl_parties
order by 1The right side is populated as a source from a function that returns the ID delimited by a colon(ID1:ID2).
When in edit mode(not read only). The shuttle functions and displays correctly. In readonly mode however what is displayed is only the ids and not the description.
The description of each value(id) is displayed correctly in edit mode.
I also tried using a sql query instead of a function as the source. When I do that, the description is displayed but just one record(even though more then one should return). This is in read only mode. In edit more nothing returns.
Source for the sql is
Select party_name d , ':' , p.party_id r
from tbl_authorization_parties a, tbl_parties p
where a.party_id = p.party_id
and a.authid = :P14_AUTHIDalso tried:
Select party_name d , p.party_id r
from tbl_authorization_parties a, tbl_parties p
where a.party_id = p.party_id
and a.authid = :P14_AUTHIDWith sql as a source in edit mode nothing is displayed on the right side.

Hi ashalon,
have you checked APEX 4.1, because I think in the most current version this is not the case anymore. You can test 4.1 on apex.oracle.com.

Sharing a view in read only mode

Hi,
I am new in this domain. I have made an application in which I made two local development projects. Through that I am using views of one into another with the help of "Used WebDynpro Components" concept. After deploying, I have got these two views.
But the problem is that I want that view in read only mode which I have taken from other local development project and this view was not in read only mode in its local development projects.
Please provide me the solution in detail so that I can understand easily.

Hi Manish,
Say View1 is the view in main Component,View2 is the view in used Component. Exactly follow these steps.
Create a context attribute enable of type String in used Component's controller,used Component's Interface controller, View1 and View2.
Using context mapping map these attributes View2 -> used Component's controller-> used Component's Interface controller -> View1 ( if you don't know how to map double click the the Main component: Data navigation modeler is opened; In the diagram, right side select small arrow first select View1 drag to used Component's Interface controller,in the wizard select right hand side enable attribute drag to left side)
you can map similarly View2 -> used Component's controller-> used Component's Interface controller.
In View2 create another variable edit of boolean type.
Open Layout tab of View2, bind this attribute to enable property of all the UI elements which you want to disable.
In implementation tab of View1 in method wdDoInit() write this code
wdContext.currentContextElement.setEnable("display");
In implementation tab of View2 in method wdDoInit() write this code
if(wdContext.currentContextElement.getEnable().equalIgnoreCase("display"))
wdContext.currentContextElement.setEdit(false);
else
wdContext.currentContextElement.setEdit(true);
Hope this helps for you.
Best regards,
Siva

Open CRMM_ACCOUNT in Read-Only-Mode

hi,
i want to open the application CRMM_ACCOUNT out of a bsp application in a new window. Ok, no problem... (thanks to all the posts before )
BUT: How can i open the Account in read only mode?
yours Michael

Hello,
If you look into the standard of MAC CL_BSP_ACC_ACCMOD, you will find in read method of super class CL_BSP_BP_ACCMOD the following coding :
Activity "display": don't allow to change anything
    IF gv_activity = gc_activity-display.
      CALL METHOD cl_bsp_bp_global_service=>set_field_attr
        EXPORTING
          iv_object_key            = ls_object-object_key
          iv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name
          iv_field_property        = gc_no_change
        CHANGING
          ct_field_attribute       = et_field_attribute
          ct_dd03p                 = gt_dd03p.
    ENDIF.
So, the only way to put the account application in display is to work on the fields attributes.

Fred

How Real Time Apply works while physical standby is open in Read Only mode

Hi,
With Active data guard option, we can open physical standby DB in read only mode, while redo log are being applied. (Real Time Query)
Standby Redo log (SRL) enables Real Time Apply (with "USING CURRENT LOGFILE" clause in recover database command on standby DB)
I am interested to know, how Real Time Query works ?
What is the mechanism with allows us to open physical standby DB in read only mode while redo logs are being applied continuously ?
Regards,
Sujit

Dear user7419391,
That is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. MRP can use the real time apply in 10g but the concept here is different.
Taken from the following document;
http://www.ascent.co.za/documents/oracle/Oracle%20databse%2011g%20Active-Data-Guard%20datasheet.pdf
*Unique Advantages of Oracle Active Data Guard*
+Active Data Guard is an evolution of Data Guard technology, providing unique+
+performance advantages while leveraging all other enhancements included in Oracle+
+Data Guard 11g. For example, any Data Guard 11g physical standby database can+
+be easily converted to a Snapshot Standby. A Snapshot Standby is open read-write+
+and is ideally suited as a test system, able to process transactions independent of the+
+primary database. A Snapshot Standby maintains protection by continuing to receive+
+data from the production database, archiving it for later use. When tests are+
+complete, a single command discards changes made while open read-write and+
+quickly resynchronizes the standby database with the primary.+
The other link in the previous post is excellent and you really have to read it to understand the active data guard aspects.
Regards.

Document will only open in read-only mode

I created a .pdf document from a Word document in Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.1. When I open the .pdf it will only open in read-only mode. I want to change the security settings to prevent editing before I send it out but the File>Properties>Security>>Security Method is greyed out and set to "No Security." I have tried certifying and signing the document and even placing in a secure envelope with no luck.
Help.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Dave.
From MS Word, I am choosing Save as Adobe PDF. In the Save window I reviewed the "Options..." and found PDF Options including
Convert document information (checked)
Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file (not checked)
Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF (checked)
Apply Security (not checked)
Create Bookmarks (checked)
Convert Comments (not checked)
I checkmarked Apply Security and attempted to save the document, however, received the following error:
PDFMaker cannot apply security when PDF/X or PDF/A compliant job option is selected.
I do not have the Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file box checked so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error.
