Spam Bots and Hyperlinks

I'm putting in email address' in our MUG's newsletter. In Pages I can create some text such as Chief Geek and in the hyperlink input mailto:[email protected] (Not real email address") to make it a live link. When I export to PDF the links work great in Preview what I'm wondering is if Spam Bots can pick up on the email address' when I do it this way? Otherwise I will have to change our address' to something more like
[email protected] and have them remove the NoSpam part.
Our PDF's are posted online on our website.

Yes, the spam bots can pick it up. They can pick it up even if it is not a hyperlink in the pdf unfortunately.

Spamming, Bots and morever

Hello everyone. So I yesterday one user messaged me(She was not in my friend list) I replied hi. Today she started-lol, soo i have an idea if ure up for a lil fun ? I thought she meant LIL WAYNE, so I replied nope, adding - do you mean Lil wayne? But her reply was-
lol i thought she was out of her mind at first, but its pretty cool actually. we work online doing private webcam shows which sounded nuts at first trust me. but i freakin luv it!!! That was the WORST ANSWER SHE COULD HAVE EVER ANSWERED! I hesitated... Took some clues from her chat and I ended up with botting and spamming/scamming program. She replied messages like she had written this for ages and did not read my messages at all. Then she said that she will "ready" and she is waiting to me in her private room. But as far as I knew that SHE WAS BOT here is my reply- I am not sure if I am interested in keeping touch with computer programs(bots).... message me when you become an Ex machina and then we might have a chance talk.
If you guys don't know what Ex machina is watch the movie it is great. Shortly it is a documentary about self intelect of robots who have body, face and everything like human and can make conversations without hesitaion.
I was happy to be messaged by a girl but after I found out her true face I was bit dissapointed... I have only one female friend But she is the best

i have a problem with a bot that keeps spamming me named v(random numbers) this happens all the time i try blocking and reporting the person but the next day they have already made a new acount with a new name. this is so anoying i block them then they make a new account so they can keep spamming. this has to be a bot and each one says "[6/4/2015 12:34:15 PM] *** NEW VIDEO MESSAGE RECEIVED! VIEW AT [edited for security] ***" plz help the blocking didnt seem to work because they kept making new acounts.

E Mail Forms and Spam Bots

I have created a form and using a PHP script to forward the
form results to an e mail account. How protected is this from
harvesting the e mail address by spam bots? If this is not the best
way to go, any suggestions on a better method. I'm familiar with
captcha but would prefer not to have to use this.
thnx
Fred

If the email address is ONLY mentioned in the PHP script,
it's completely
secure.

Need to find a SPAM bot on the network

How can I use my PIX-515e firewall to locate the source of a SPAM bot on a network? The PIX is running v6.3.5.

How about creating an access list on your Inside interface, for traffic flowing from your internal network out to the Internet. Permit your internal mail servers to talk on smtp (port 25) outbound, and deny all other hosts. Then just look for the hosts that get DENYs on port 25.
You could/should also be looking at an IPS solution, either Cisco's or open source (eg. Snort.) I'd also suggest looking at BotHunter, which is a customized version of Snort thats tuned to -just- look for Bots.

Spam bots & e-mail links

Hi,
if I add an unprotected e-mail address to my pages, it's a real gift for spam bots.
Is a "masked" address safer? I mean, +"My Name"+ with "[email protected]" added as invisible URL? Will this masked address be found by spam bots, too?
And is the only solution to shredder the mail address to +"my.e.mail (at) me.com"+ ?

I've done it by using the HTML font code to change the font and color. It's a hit or miss thing. This demo page shows a snippet that I've applied it to:
The code is as follows as displayed here: 2 ways to encode an email address
<xmp>
<a id='contactMe'><font color="#0033FF" size="3" face="Georgia">Email Me</font></a>
<script type='text/javascript'>
Assemble Obfuscated email address and set div id='contactMe' href
ObsArray = new Array();
ObsArray.push('mai');
ObsArray.push('lto');
ObsArray.push(':');
ObsArray.push('my'); // your break up email address starts here
ObsArray.push('name');
ObsArray.push('@');
ObsArray.push('me');
ObsArray.push('.');
ObsArray.push('com'); // your break up email address ends here
function setContactMe() {
var ObfuscatedHref = '';
for (ii=0; ii<ObsArray.length; ii++) {
ObfuscatedHref += ObsArray[ii];
document.getElementById('contactMe').href=ObfuscatedHref;
chkEmail = setInterval('checkEmail()', 100);
function checkEmail() {
if (document.getElementById('contactMe') != null) {
clearInterval(chkEmail);
}}</script>
</xmp>
*(Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)*
See the code around the Email Me at the top? That's how to change the font, size and color. You can apply that to the test in a snippet. It would look like this: Email Me

Spam-bot protection

How well does the spam bot protection on the registration page work? Do you guys still get a significant number of "illegitimate users" signing up everyday? My forum gets about 20 per day and it's not that popular, and I'm tired of deleting them all.

Actually, I can count the spammers we've had since I added that on one hand (though I might have to cheat and use binary). It works very well so long as whatever you do is unique to your site. So whether it's a question that in itself contains the answer, a math problem, or an option box with the default set to failure (bots will often pick the default for unknown fields, that's the logic here), or whatever, it doesnt even have to be all that clever, you can stop most of your spam.

Blocking spam bots

Skype needs to do a better job with their spam servers and filter Internet traffic for the end users. Afterall, Skype is owned and operated by Microsoft. Least they can do is upgrade their security appliances and block known bot nets. Least with Skype for business has a lot more security controls and there's absolutly no chat bots trolling our employees. I'm getting tried of blocking these creative automated bots.

CS3 - How can I preserve Links and Hyperlinks in my INDB?

I am still pretty new to ID, so please speak slowly :)
My problem - I create an INDB that consists of several indd chapters. The chapters include numerous Links (to PNG & PSD images) and Hyperlinks both to Text anchors to other chapters within the INDB, as well as to URLs. I have all items saved on my local HD. Once complete, I do "Package for Print", check the Preflight report to make sure all is OK (it is) and then save the new INDB folder in a new location on my local HD. This all seems to work just fine, BUT if I move this packaged INDB folder (such as to a backup drive, or give to another worker that copies it to their HD), upon opening the INDB file, some links and Hyperlinks are broken.
It seems that these broken Links and Hyperlinks are still pointing to the original locations on my HD. But obviously not all are, since most links/hyperlinks DO work fine. The Hyperlinks to Text anchors within other indd chapters seem to typically break. Is there a way to force these to reference the packaged assets within the INDB folder? Seems ID would be smart enough to look there itself!
Also, I was creating some Hyperlinks as "cross referenced" - that is, I created a URL Hyperlink Destination in Chapter 1 indd and then created Hyperlinks pointing to it from other chapter indd in the book. I have learned that these ALWAYS break in the above scenario, so I started creating the URL destination within the same chapter indd and pointing to it there rather than across chapters. But this is just more work to keep re-creating the same URL destination in every indd!
I'll keep running into these problems since I need to share my finished INDB with other CS3 users. I also would like to be able to do a Save As of the INDB when creating a revised, newer version, but I see this also results in the new INDB links/hyperlinks still pointing to the original INDB's assets! Any way to make the Save As update the Links/Hyperlinks in the new INDB?
Thanks greatly for any insight. I can find no help in the Help on these issues!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

Image instead of List Name, and hyperlink the image to view 'All Items.aspx' page

Hi,
I would like remove the Page title for list (i.e., name of the list in view all items.aspx page) , and instead use image and hyperlink the image
to 'All items.aspx" page.
Using developer tool found the element (#PageTitle) and added 'Script Editor' webpart and below css script to it. I am successful in replace the
title to image, however, I am unable to add the HTML tag for hyperlink. Where do I need to add or how do I add? Could anyone help me please??
<style type="text/css">
#pageTitle
background-image: url('http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
</style>
Regards,
Sunitha

Hi Sunitha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the list title to an image.
I recommend to add the code below to the list page:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
var s = "<img alt='SP' src='http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg'>";
var $t = $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea span span a");
$t.html(s);
</script>
After that, the list title will change to the image and it will show allitems.aspx page when clicking the image.
Thanks,
Victoria

Problems with Long Interactive PDFs with Extensive Interactivity via Buttons and Hyperlinks

I have inherited a project which requires the creation of large interactive pdfs with lots of buttons and hyperlinks. I am having continuing problems with buttons not working and long periods of wasted time as attempted exports fail.
Background:
The largest books range from 264 MB to 411 MB – (764 to 1024 pages). Per book, the maximum number of buttons on each page is 16, linking separate files (subsections) in the book via text anchors. The buttons are created using Master Pages which are set for each file (subsection) in the book. 50% to 60% of the pages in each file (subsection) will also be referenced as 2 hyperlinks. One is the source page hyperlink on each workflow and the second is a listing on the source page as a possible navigation path. I have created hyperlink destinations for each page which is used to generate the source and navigation hyperlinks. With 2 hyperlinks representing 50%-60% of the pages - that means the largest book contains a maximum of 1200 hyperlinks. Each file (subsection) also has it’s own separate TOC and the bookmarks that are created (optionally) during the TOC creation process.   As currenlty formatted, the book is primarily images of workflows which mean 50%-60% of the pages contain pdf images.
Several questions:
1. How do I get my buttons to work consistently? There is nothing worse than working hard and then ending up with faulty product. I have been thinking about combining all the files into 1 document per book. Then I could change the buttons to objects, add a hyperlink over each one and set them for a specific hyperlink destination. Can I do that if the buttons are on Master Pages? Can InDesign handle a document with 1024 pages?    I can't fix the problems in Acrobat later because it would mean 1024 fixes for just 1 button correction.
2. How do I stop InDesign from freezing when exporting these large pdfs? It seems to wait until the final steps to crash which sometimes means a 4-6 hour waste of time per export.
3. Are we making a mistake using pdfs as our workflow images? I'm not pleased with the quality of the images we have and wonder if we switched to another image format if this would improve the results.   Would it be worth the effort and relinking? I have been reading different information on what the preferred source image format is for InDesign. One article I found yesterday says using pdf images is a problem. Another site said the Photoshop, TIF and JPG are preferred but PDFs were also acceptable.
4. Do I need to propose scrapping InDesign as the source of the project? If so, what application can better meet my needs?

Those are the limitations you have to put up with.
Apple doesn't follow the PDF spec. It chooses which PDF features it will support.
As to the version number (v5 or v6 or the new multimedia features in v9), there is different support in different versions of Reader/Acrobat as the product has developed. You just need to post a message to downloaders that they need to view the file in Adobe Reader version X or above to get the best experience.
Other industry standards face the same problem: How can you add new feature like multimedia? You can't always be backwards compatible.

An hour ago, I accidentally deleted a "Bookmarks" folder, and all of subfolders and hyperlinks. The lost items are not in "Trash." Are they still retrievable? JAW

An hour ago, I accidentally deleted a Bookmarks folder, and all of subfolders and hyperlinks. The lost items are not in "Trash." Are they still retrievable? JAW

They don't go into the Trash. Unless you have a backup prior to the deletion time it's gone.

We created a pdf document with comments and hyperlinks. On iPad, comments/hyperlinks disappear.

Using Acrobat Pro 9, we created a pdf with comments and hyperlinks to be shared with a large community on the iPad, through a server. Once the document is opened on the iPad, all the comments and hyperlinks disappear. Are we missing a tool on the iPad or is there a different way to create this file? Thank you.

Is everyone on the iPad using the latest version of Adobe Reader mobile for iOS (10.6 at the moment)? You can see all the comments (including drawing markups) as well as view the notes attached to text markup with this version.

Table of Contents links and hyperlinks lose accuracy in FP past 5 pages?

I've come up dry searching for any mention of this bug
anywhere.
We've got Word documents that have a table of contents (TOC
created dynamically in word, using the standard "Heading" style
method.) When we convert these to Flashpaper SWFs, about 50% of the
TOC links don't work - they go sort of nearby spots in the
document, but bring you to a spot off by half a page or more. The
links to spots in the first 4-5 pages work ok, but TOC links that
go deeper into the doc - from 5 to 20 pages in - those are off by a
half page to a page. The working TOC links in Word or in PDF
versions of the doc take you directly to the right spot.
The "outline" option in flashpaper also fails - the outline
links past 5 pages or so are innacurate just like the in-document
links.
According the the (scanty) documentation for Flashpaper,
Heading/Outlines, etc. are supposed to work fine and get converted
into the SWF.
I've already tried creating fresh example files, to make sure
it isn't a problem with sloppy Word formatting, extra Headings,
etc. - no dice. I still get TOC and outline links that fail to work
in many cases. They mostly fail for things that jump to spots after
5-6 pages into the doc. But if I convert these same docs to PDFs,
the PDF bookmarks and TOC links and hyperlinks work perfectly.
We've also tried using Hyperlinks in Word to create "pretend"
Table of Contents (not dynamic, but we're desperate), and we find
that those hyperlinks that go past 5 or 6 pages into the 20 page
doc lose their acuracy also - they are a half to a full page off.
We already tried the method of saving the word docs as HTML
then converting to FP(suggested within this board) but that did not
improve things.
Thanks in advance.
- Chris

We solved our issue. In our case we have Word 2007, but our
client is still on Word 2003 so our Word document was originally
created in Word 2007 and then converted by Word 2007 into the Word
2003 format. It appears that we were having these problems because
we were running Flashpaper on the coverted Word document. A
document converted this way is internally different than a document
created by the Word 2003 application.
To fix the problem we downloaded the Word 2003 application,
created a new Word 2003 document, copy and pasted the contents of
the converted Word document into the document created on Word 2003,
and then ran Flashpaper on the new Word 2003 document. Problem
solved.

Equipment/Functional Location Attachments and Hyperlinks Batch Upload

Hi,
We would like to upload File attachments or create Hyperlinks for a reference object in batch - an equipment using transaction IE02 or a functional location IL02. We have already tried creating an LSMW for this however attachments and hyperlinks are deactivated using the LSMW functionality.
Could you kindly advice?

Hi,
I guess you are trying to attach the Hyperlink and documents for individual objects through the generic object services(GOS).If thats the case the standard Generic object services does not support background process and hence the unavailability of the same in LSMW.
However you can create a separate custom program to create attachments to individual objects using the class and Methods associated with Generic object services (GOS).
The Method that you would need to use is "CL_BINARY_RELATION=>CREATE_LINK" associated to class "CL_BINARY_RELATION ". There are sample codes available in ABAP development forum to do exactly the same.
