Save As Trusted Function: Part II

Continuing my previous thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/509314?tstart=0
I'm now working on another form requiring this same type of function, but there's a new wrinkle.
How can I substitute fields if one of the fields to be used is blank or is a certain selection of a drop down ...
i.e. If fieldA = "other" use fieldB in place of fieldA in save as title.
Thanks for any help / suggestions!

I'm running into a problem here.
The js file from my first thread works fine for that form.
However, I've created a second folder js file for this form. When the click event "event.target.myTrustFunct(event.target);" fires it attempts to use the first js file and thus does not work seeing as content and field names are different.
How can I distiguish between what js file I'm trying to pull from for each trusted function?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Doc Save As and Trusted Function

I have been reading over the forum and the adobe help files regarding this. I think I am close but since I need to get my IT department to assist in placing the js files where they have to go, I thought I might ask the forum if I am on the right track
I still have to make sure the field values will not include an illegal characters. They wont be empty as the forms will be coming directly from our system -prefilled
Currently these forms automatically email (although staff still have to hit the actual send button) when staff go to print the document. The people who get these forms are just finding it a bit hard to keep up with the emails and have asked to just have the files save to a folder so they can look at when they have time
This is what I have for my trust propagator function. I assume this is the only js file I will need as it incoporates the trusted function?
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
doc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv(); })
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
// Privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc,path);
app.endPriv();
// Privileged and/or non-privileged code below });
I got this code from the Adobe Help
then I want to have this code in the Document Did Print area
var name = this.getField("FormValues.accountNames_0").value
var folio =this.getField("FormValues.folioNumber_0").value
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, "/w/Public/AccountOpening/" + name + " " + folio,pdf);
I have to read where to put the js file as I have seen some comments on the forum that where you place the js file has changed for those with Adobe X and Windows 7
Would anyone be be able to let me know if I am on the right path before I get IT involved. I suppose I could test the code on my own laptop to see if it would allow me to save the form.....
Thank you

Read this: The Acrobat Ninja: Acrobat 10.1.1 JavaScript changes
You have to manually create the folders that aren't present, and they must be named correctly.
It's a good idea to use the valueAsString property instead of the value property to get the field values, since you're using the results as strings. It probably won't make a difference here, but it's a good habit to get into. You also have a typo in that last line of code. It should be:
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, "/w/Public/AccountOpening/" + name + " " + folio + ".pdf");
It would be a good idea to make sure those field value aren't blank if there's a chance that they could be.
Also, consider using a try/catch block for the doc.saveAs call, and look at the return value so you can give the users a more helpful error message than what the default will be if something goes wrong.
If you need help with any of this, post again.

How to get an Adobe trusted function javascript to save a pdf form even if fields are empty?

I have a form I have created in Livecycle designer which I want to save to a specific location using a combination of specific fields in the form. I have been able to do this by writing a trusted function and putting it in the adobe javascript file and then putting some code on a save button in the form. However, it may be that some of the fields (vfirstname and vsecondname) may be blank and i still want the form to save. Ideally i want to write an if statement to substitute those fields for other fields if they are blank but cant get the code to work.
Working code in trusted function file
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode(" form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.ClientFirstname").rawValue.toSt ring(); var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Working code on save button in form
form1.#pageSet[0].Newenquirymasterpage.Button1::mouseUp - (JavaScript, client) var txt = form1.execValidate(); //This script will validate all required fields event.target.mySaveDoc(event.target) xfa.host.messageBox("Document has been saved to shared drive", "File Saved", 3, 1);
IF code for trusted function file that I cant get to work
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. ClientFirstname").rawValue == " ") { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.EnquFirstn ame").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientFirstname").rawValue.toString(); } if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. Clientsurname").rawValue == " ") { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.Enqsurname ").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); } var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Can anyone suggest why the If code above doesn't work? or how i could get the form to submit even if the fields are blank?

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

Trusted function not reffered in PDF file - Adobe reader.

Am failry new to Adobe scripting.
I am trying to generate a jasper report of PDF file format from an online web application
MY intension is to automatically save the generated report into my user's hard drive location say /C/Sample/sample.pdf
I have created the trusted function and made it copied to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts
Trusted function code mySaveAs.js
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cFile)
app.beginPriv();
// Ensure path has trailing "/" cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");
try{
oDoc.saveAs(cFile);
}catch(e){
app.alert("Error During Save");
app.endPriv();
And am invoking the script from the Jasper api which will be a part of the PDF script like below
exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT,
     " if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') { " +
     " mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');"+
     " } else { " +
     " app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')" +
its just Equivalent of
if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') {
      mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');
} else {
app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')}
but am not able to get the file saved in my client machine.
Kindly suggest me a better approach or any where if am missing something.
Am failry new to Adobe scripting.

Am currently using Adobe reader 11 I am not getting any alert .
But the same saveAs() works well in XP even with out making it as a trusted function, We have just placed the script inside the PDF itself. But its not working in Windows 7.
Below code works fine in Win XP
try
     this.saveAs('/C/Sample/sample.pdf'');
    catch(e)
    { app.alert(e);}

Problem with trusted function

Hi,
My problem is I've created a form with a button to save it under a different filename.
So from what I've read I'd to create a script with a trusted function, so far so good, in Adobe Acrobat XI anything works fine, I can save the form without any trouble.
I've put the script inside: (Windows 7)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
The script itself had the follwing content (found here on the forum, just modified it so that an invoice number is added to the filename which is generated after form printing):
var ProcessDocument4 = app.trustedFunction(function(cPath, InvoiceNb) { app.beginPriv(); // Build path root from current documen // Split off the ".pdf" at the end (this is just one way it can be done) var aPth = this.path.split("."); aPth.pop(); var cPathRoot = aPth.join("."); // Now run the extraction loop for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ ) this.extractPages({nStart: i, cPath: util.printf("%s_%s.pdf", cPathRoot, InvoiceNb)}) ; app.endPriv(); });
Form on Button click:
ProcessDocument4(aPth+"/", InvoiceNumber);
Now the problem:
What do I 've to do, to make the script work in Reader X on Windows 7?
When I click the button there, I've got an error message telling me thats not allowed to save a copy of a filled form instead I've to ptint it out.
So I thought I've to place the trusted function script for Reader X too, so I did and placed i here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Javascripts
Which didn't solved the problem.
Then I was reading about that I've to save the PDF with additional rights for reader, so I did, no error but it still doesn't save the form.
Now I'm a bit clueless how to make it work in both programs.

Well, your answer is not really helpful though, its kind of: you can't drive a car without tires but your not explaining the op why...
I've had a similiar problem last I've tested the function the op wrote and it works! The problem is located not because of the function, its the protected mode which causing problems.
If you disable it, it works like a champ.
So the question would be, at least for me: "how to rewrite the function so that even if protected mode is on, it still works"
For the op, to disable protected mode in Windows 7 the fastes way I've could think of was the registry under (according to your reader version!):
HKEY_CURENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged
Change the Value from 1 to 0 and try again.

Trusted function help

Hi all,
I need to clarify if i am looking in the right place!
I have a form with templates, when the first page is signed there is a button to create a second page from a template (with a new signature).
I get this error:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Template.spawn:17:AcroForm:P0.Background.Tab:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
I believe this is a trusted function issue, so I tried to write the following to accomodate in my code:
function test()
        var t = this.templates;
var j = this.pageNum;
    var T = t[0];
    var S = t[1];
    var R = t[3];
    var Q = t[2];
// Checks other field value before selecting correct template
if (this.getField("P"+j+".Background.Dropdown4").value == "Other"){
T.spawn({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
Q.spawn({nPage: numPages - 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
app.alert("A new page has been added")
}else if (this.getField("P"+j+".Background.Dropdown4").value == "option 1"){
T.spawn({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
S.spawn({nPage: numPages - 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
app.alert("A new page has been added")
}else if (this.getField("P"+j+".Background.Dropdown4").value == "option 2"){
T.spawn({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
R.spawn({nPage: numPages - 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
app.alert("A new page has been added")
}else if (this.getField("P"+j+".Background.Dropdown4").value == "Select..."){
app.alert("Please make selection, from Category");
    app.trustedFunction(test);
I have this as a document level javascript but im not usre if this is correct, i want to avoid creating a js folder to hold the script as i have many users.
Because Acrobat X now uses this trusted function i need to update quite a few forms, so your help would be much appreciated.

Signing a signature field does not consitute editing the file.
Adding new pages to a file does.
Think about a real-life situation: You sign a 20-page contract.
Then someone adds their signature next to yours. That's not a problem because it doesn't affect what you signed, just says that another person is a part of the contract.
However, imagine that after you've signed the contract someone adds a 5-page appendix to it and pretends you signed that as well... You wouldn't be too happy about it, right? That appendix should not be added unless you sign it as well.
Well, digital signatures have that function built-in into them. You can't edit the file without invalidating the signature(s) in it.

Trusted Function Privelged File Folder

This Adobe publication
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/user-javascript-changes-10-1.html
says place the Trusted Function .js file in (for MS Windows 7 & Acrobat X Pro):
Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\10.0\JavaScripts.
(disregard spacing issue in JavaScr and ipts. Webpage error no space in file folders.)
or applicably
C:\Users\JohnSmith\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\10.0\JavaScripts
(disregard spacing issue in JavaScr and ipts. Webpage error no space in file folders.)
That's all good and clear except I don't have that "Privileged" file. Any suggestions? Should I just create the
"Privileged" folder inside of the "Acrobat Folder"?

The file is on a server, I assume the path is correct since the same script works on my computer (script is saving the reader file by a name from a certain field on the pdf to a specified server location) and the script file (myspecialtaskfucntion.js) was just attached in a email to a co-worker and then loaded into the location on their computer at:
C:\Users\JohnSmith\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\10.0\JavaScripts
I'll try a manual save, unprotected mode and report back. Thanks for your time.
Update:
I don't believe I can put Acrobat X or Acrobat X Pro into unprotected mode. Perhaps this mode is only for Adobe Reader X ? The computer I'm having trouble with is MS Windows 7 with Acrobat X (aka Acrobat X Standard). There is no option for placing the Acrobat Application into "Unprotected Mode" that I can find.
The manual save is possible on the co-workers computer after the console appears with the previous message I posted above.
"RaiseError: ....................................... or in a different folder."

Operation failed when trying to Save a Custom Function to the Repository

When attempting to save a Custom Function to the Repository in Crystal Reports XI R2, I get the following error message:
"Operation failed: You do not have edit right on: "Default folder for custom functions".
Where is the default folder for custom functions and how do I grant it the "Edit" right?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
To give rights to a user or a group to save custom function in the Repository:
1. Open the Business View Manager
2. Logon to your BusinessObjects Enterprise as the Administrator
3. In the "Repository Explorer", right click on the "Custom Functions" folder, and in the contextual menu, select "Edit Rights"
4. In the "Edit Rights" window, add the user or group that you want to give the right to save a custom function to the repository, and set the "Edit" right to "Granted". Finally, click on the "OK" button to accept the change.
The user will then be able to save a Custom Function to the Repository in Crystal Reports XI R2.
Also, note that it is important that the "Everyone" group "Edit" right isn't set to "Denied" as every user is part of the "Everyone" group.
If the group "Everyone" is set to denied, it will take precedence to the user rights, so nobody will be able to save custom function. So ensure the "Everyone" group right is either set to "Inherited" or "Granted".

BusinessObjects SDK - Save as Excel functionality

Hi Experts,
I have a question for anyone experienced with the SDK and the BOBJ apis. We are presenting WEBI reports to Partners, so we want to display the reports without the toolbars and only show the reports. We do not want to confuse them will all the extras :). We have done this, but, we have now been asked to provide the "save as excel" functionality to the users while still keeping all the toolbars hidden. So our goal is to just add our own button that will call the same functionality as file -> save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function we can call from the apis that will perform this action?
Second, and not sure if this is possible or not (hope it is). We also have some xcelsius reports displayed to the user in flash. We would also like to add the same functionality, giving the user the ability to click a button and save as excel. Does anyone know if there is a specific function within the xcelsius specific classes that would allow us to do this as well?
Thanks!
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you are using the Business Objects Enterprise BI 4.0 then you can modify the crystal report viewer format list where you can export to any particular format.
Please refer to the below mentioned Blog by Ted Ueda :
[SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise BI 4.0 - Modify the Crystal Reports Viewer Export Format List|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/22845]
As mentioned, you could only allow the excel format to be exported by your customers.

Why does the Fireworks save for web function give better results than in Photoshop?

Having used the trial version of Fireworks, I have noticed that the save for web function gives greater compression and image quality than saving for web in Photoshop. Why is this?
As Adobe are not continuing in developing Fireworks, does anyone know if will they will improve the save for web function in Photoshop to match the Fireworks version?
Are there any third party companies who anyone can recommend who will process large volumes of images for web?
Thanks

One of my favourite topics ;-P
First, the save for web function in Photoshop has not seen any real updates in a long time. In Fireworks PNG export allows for fully transparent optimized files with indexed 256 or less colours, which is impossible in the save for web function in Photohop. It is unsupported.
This is one of the reasons why Fireworks does a much better job than Photoshop. Another reason is that Photoshop adds meta junk in its exported files, and this also increases the file size (and should be removed, because there are also a number of fields which include information about your setup).
One other caveat is that Photoshop's save for web functions neither allows for a choice in chroma subsampling, and instead decides automatically below a certain quality threshold to degrade the colour sharpness quality. The user has no control over this. (Fireworks also limits the user this way.)
One thing to be careful of: FW's jpg quality setting, and PS's quality settings are very different - a 50 in Photoshop is not the same 50 setting in Fireworks.
For jpg optimization I generally use RIOT (free): http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/
(When you install, be careful NOT to install the extra junkware!)
Fireworks cannot change the chroma subsampling to 4:2:0, which does degrade the quality a bit compared to RIOT and Photoshop in my experience. Photoshop adds useless meta information, even if the user tells it not to do that. RIOT allows you to remove that information, saving 6k. RIOT also offers an automatic mode that optimizes existing jpg images without degrading the quality further, and often saves 10k or more, depending on the images.
Interestingly enough, in my tests exported Fireworks jpg images are always reduced in file size by RIOT, due to FW's jpg export limitations, without any image degradation.
In my tests FW's jpg quality versus file size turns out to be the worst of all three. RIOT generally wins, or is at least on par with Photoshop.
As for PNG export, Photoshop's save for web function is quite abysmal. No 256 colour full transparency export is possible, while Fireworks does support this.
Having said that, there is a free alternative that leaves both Photoshop AND Fireworks in the dust: Color Quantizer. http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
CQ is an amazing little tool: with it anyone can create PNG files with full transparency and reduced to ANY number of colours! It means that a 512 colour PNG with full transparency is now very easy to do. On top of that, for more difficult images a simple quality mask brush tool allows the user to control and retain even small colour details in a PNG, while reducing the file size to an absolute minimum.
CQ is one of the best kept secrets of a Web Developer's toolkit. And it is free!
Both RIOT and Color Quantizer have a built-in batch mode. Both are available for WIndows. Not for Mac. If you are on a Mac, try imageOptim. Not nearly as good as RIOT and CQ, but quite passable.
PS to be fair, the newest versions of Photoshop do allow for export of 8bit PNGs with full transparency through the use of its Generator functionality. But again, it cannot compete with CQ. And as far as I am aware, Generator cannot be used in Photoshop's batch processing (which, btw, is very slow! For simpler daily image processing tasks I have to do in batches, I prefer IrfanView, which is lightning fast! IrfanView).

Web ADI Create Document - Short Cut Save to Form Function Grayed Out

How do I "ungray" Save to Form Function to allow a save?
RDBMS 10.2.0.4.0
Apps 11.5.10.2
Only GL and Desktop ADI
Oracle on Demand Customer - does not give us SysAdmin Responsiblities
We have:
Applicatin Adiministrator does not have Application> Funcitons
Application Developer has Application>Forms and Function
Setup Web ADI super user menu with Create Documents, Define Layout, Define Mapping, Manage Documents
Setup options and "Hidden" Enter Journals
Thanks for you help,
Dale

I still have no response or answers
Refer the section "Creating Form Functions Using the Create Document Page Flow" in Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide. User to have system administrator responsibility assigned to have this feature enabled as this is a SysAdmin task.
THE BIG QUESTION - since "Oracle on Demand" will not allow their users to have System Administrator, how can I add the required functionality to the supplied Application Administrator and resolve the questions below?
Problem Description:
Web ADI – Create Document, Save to Form Function is grayed out, therefore it can not be used
1. How do we enable Web ADI functionality to Create document and Save to Form Function?
2. Once saved to form function how to we navigate to Application>Functions?
3. Once the Short cut is saved to the Form Function, how do we attach to a user’s responsibility?
We have only Application Administrator with no Applications> Functions menu, however we do have in our test instance Application Developer with Applications>Forms and Functions, but it does not appear to have the same rights as SysAdmin. I tried adding the menu functions simular to SysAdmin to Application Administrator but no luck unlocking (ungraying) the form.

How to Disable Save and Save a Copy functions in a PDF file

I would like to know how to disable the Save and Save a Copy functions. I have a client that does not want the ability to save for there customers. I also need to make sure that it can not be changed by there customer.
Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Andrew

Once the PDF is viewed on a machine it is already saved there. That is why it is not possible. The only option is to not allow folks to have the PDF at all. You can disable the ability to copy information from the PDF or use SAVE as to put it in a different form without the security. Those are the security features that are available, but with the caveat that many 3rd party products ignore the PDF security and thus your efforts are not warrented if you want true security. The only way to get full security is through a fancy online (and costly) solution.

Trusted functions in Reader through browser plugin

Hi all,
I have created a trusted function that works perfectly when I open my form directly through Reader or Acrobat :-)
My trusted function does something like import a file as an attachment from a certain place on disk.
However when I try to open it through the browser plugin (ie. Internet Explorer) it does not work - what could I be doing wrong? And what do I need to take into consideration to make it work through the browser plugin?
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need further information.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely

Hi again dohanlon,
You were right, something in my script on the form was not executed correctly - seems like the util.stringFromStream does not work in the form if you run it in the plugin. I changed my code into usinsg the stringforStream method in my trusted function and then it suddenly worked.
Thanks a lot for your help btw - it led me into understanding that it was possible to use the trusted functions inside the belly of the browser plugin also
\Kim
