Automatically select correct browser plugin

I am currently learning to create JSP and servlet pages.
I already have some java experience.
The first time I used jsp:plugin_ I got a message in my browser asking to install JRE 1.2 (which is quite old).
After a bit of googling I discovered the iepluginurl_ and nspluginurl_ attribute,
Unfortunately by default it installs the 32-bit version.
Is there a way to automatically install the corresponding version for an os and architecture (Windows/Linux/Solaris, 32-bit/64-bit).
It seems this should be possible (since there are also other platforms with java support.
Ideally instead of an answer I'd rather have a resource which pertains as much applicable information as possible(for example a tutorial or guide from sun.com)
Thanks a lot in advance

I read the very long thread at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3295855#3295855 discussing the exact problem with Reader X and an older version of Firefox. Although several comments mentioned changing the zoom level to 100% from something greater, I initially thought they were referring to the zoom within the Reader window. When I finally realized that they were referring to the display properties, I changed that back to 100% and the controls now work.
Although this problem has been happening to me on a custom-built rig, my display is a Dell U2412M. I think at least one other commenter in the other thread mentioned Dell, so perhaps the problem is with the Dell display driver -- where increasing the magnification causes Adobe to "see" mouse presence someplace other than where it actually is. Strage -- and this behavior doesn't appear to affect other apps..
The solution in comment 116 by solution_finder_123 works!!!. Right-click on the shortcut to Reader in the Win 7 Start Menu and select "Disable display scaling on high DPS settings" on Compatibility tab.

Automatically selecting the correct network.

My wife has an G4 iBook. She has a wireless network at work and home. When she turns on her iBook at work, it automatically connects to that network.
At home, the iBook selects our neighbor's network. She has to manually select our home network. We want the iBook to select our home's network not the neighbor's.
What settings do I need to change so it will automatically select the home network not the neighbors, when at home and still automatically select the work network when at work?
Thank you
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The laptop is running 10.3.9. I do not see a preferred network list. I can select the location Home and select by default join, Home in the menu. This works from home. But when she goes to work the laptop does not automatically join the work network so she has to manually select the work network.
Only one location works automatically, the other one must be selected manually.
Am I missing something?

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time i run safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive?

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time I run Safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive? This doesn't seem to be causing a problem, but is a puzzle?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

Here is some background to my question
I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
app.hideToolbarButton("Print");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
What I'm after is a way to either
(i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
or
(ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
Cheers
Will

Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
In an ideal world there would be an available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
or
Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
or
Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
Thanks for you help
Cheers

Adobe reader & pdf browser plugin 2 license

i've got a macbookpro, & my class lectures are presented in pdf format. every time i go to open 1, i get a popup that i need to order a pdf browser plugin 2 license. it let me access my pdfs last semester by requesting register later, but this semester it's not letting me read them. nothing i've found for adobe reader shows that i need this. how do i get rid of this popup so that i can read my lecture notes?

You must have used some file that was created with that program. It is completely unnecessary for Safari or Firefox. If you have installed Adobe Reader, it should have put a plug-in into your Internet plug-ins. Find a pdf file in Finder, then select it, then right click, get info. In the window, make sure that the pdf file opens with Adobe Reader, then click on Change All. It tells the Mac to handle all pdf files with Adobe Reader, and IF you have the plug-in, you should be able to read it.

How to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
Thanks in Advance,

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

Order pdf browser plugin 2 license

Mac Pro laptop OS10.6.7, running Firefox 3.6.17
When I attempt to open a .pdf document within Firefox one of two things happen:
1. the screen/tab freezes completely with a "Not registered" message shown under the frozen processing icon. Or
2. I get a pop-up that asks me to "Order PDF Browser Plugin 2 license. To order a PDF Browser Plugin 2 license, click Order License to go to the Schubert it online store." This is followed by a "Order License" button. The lower half of the pop-up is "When you have received your license code enter your name and the license code." This is followed by several buttons and blanks for name and code. Without ordering and leaving all fields blank, clicking the OK button in the lower right allows the .pdf to load albeit very slowly.
I have a screenshot of the pop-up window to forward if needed.
Thanks for the help.

Automatic Selected Item of List Builder Component Does not work (anymore)

Hi all,
Í'm working with Xcelsius Engage 2008 (version 5.3.2.0) and the automatic selection of an item at runtime of the list builder component does not work anymore. In a previous version it worked very well.
Here's the case: at runtime I want that the list builder component automatically puts the first item in the list to the destination section and selects it, so that a graph can show the underlying pushed data. In the previous version it worked o.k., but now at runtime the destination section remains empty at startup. If I interactively select an item from the source section to the destination section and update the list builder, the data is shown correctly, but it must done automatically, which worked o.k. in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008...
This are my settings of the list builder component (which was running correctly earlier..):
-at the general tab I defined a range of labels
-at the general tab I defined 2 data column insertion series
-at the behaviour-common tab I defined selected items: position mode; items: the first item of the label list; insert items at runtime
-all of the data comes from an external xml data source
You can find an example of the visualisation at: http://onderzoek2.evinet.nl/projecten/10169/dynarap.htm. You will see that at start-up there is no item visible and selected in the destination section of the list builder....
I've tried every combinations of settings, build up the component from scratch, but its not working (anymore).

Hi njnits,
Print view button is a standard component of Xcelsius: look at it in the IDE
Exporting to Powerpoint is also a standard functionality, so yes. For this particular dashboard/report all data resides in an external xml-file which have to be accessible for Powerpoint
All visualisations, not only the table, in this/report fetch their data from an external xml-file, but a QaaWS-connection will also do the trick. You will have to write this dedicated service. In our case the xml-data is also generated automatically.
The external data is best defined as a sort of matrix, consisting of approx. 100 columns by 1000 rows. I agree it takes a lot of Xcelsius but it does the job....
Hopes this info helps....

Is it possible to use automatic lens correction profiles in Camera RAW using Extendscript?

I have developed Javascripts using Extendscript toolkit to help me process batches of files for creating time lapse videos, and
I would like to take advantage of the automatic lens correction profiles available in Adobe Camera RAW (I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6 64-bit), but in the CameraRAWOpenOptions, there is no property describing the automatic lens correction profiles. It seems there has got to be a way to automate the selection of the "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" box when opening camera RAW images. I am using Canon lenses, and the Adobe lens correction profiles work great, so I'd like to use them.
I am aware of the other way of doing this in Photoshop using File-->Automate-->Lens Correction, but this seems to work more slowly than using the lens corrections in Camera RAW.
Thanks.

You don't need to bother...just set your Camera Raw "Defaults" to include Enable Lens Profile Corrections and check the Auto CA correction. Then go to the ACR flyout menu and select Save New Camera Raw Defaults...Note: if you have your ACR preferences set to have seperate defaults based on camera serial number and ISO, you'll need to save out seperate defaults for each camera and ISO you use.

Lens Profile Not Automatically Selecting Anymore...?

Hello all,
I have been using LR3 for a little while and I was excited when the 3.3 update added lens profile support for my last unsupported lens--the newer Tamron 70-300 VC USD. Now, I don't shoot with that lens too much, so I do not have a great number of images since that update, but I SEEM to remember that I tested out a few images and LR3 was correctly choosing lens profile for the 70-300. However, I shot some more images this evening and its not choosing that profile anymore automatically.
I have done some searching on this forums and tried a few of the troubleshooting steps I found. I have tried to install LR3. No effect. I manually chose the 70-300 profile to ensure that it did have an effect on the picture (so the profile is not missing or anything). And, yes, I am shooting in RAW only, no JPEGs.
The issue is just that when I load up any images taken with the Tammy 70-300 (all other lens profiles for all my other lenses are loaded automatically), LR3 just gives me the "unable to locate matching profile automatically"
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Please excuse me for beating a dead horse, but I just want to make sure that I understand. If I manually select the correct profile and then save as default, LR3 will associate all new photos with that correction profile automatically? i.e., I wont have to manually select that profile when I load in new pictures? Is that just working by manually telling LR to associate that profile with this particular *likely faulty or messy* EXIF data set?
It will save it as the default for that lens and camera combination.
Fully automatic lens profile selection can only be activated by including a Develop Preset when importing. Fortunately, you need only create one prset a Lr will automatically select the correct profile.

How to make it stop automatically selecting the waveform after recording.

When I stop recording, it automatically selects the wave form in the Waveform Editor window (it turns white.) Every time I have to mouse up and deselect it. Is there a way to tell Audition not to auto select when stopping recording? I could nto find a preference for this.

It's because you have a syntax error in your "correct" examples. There should be another closing parenthesis before the opening curly brace:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['car'])) {
The deep indentation is a bug that affects the layout of jQuery functions, and it will hopefully be fixed in the next version of Dreamweaver. In your case, it's unintentionally alerting you to a mistake in your PHP code.

Polymorphic units break automatic selection of polymorphic vi

I have a polymorphic vi that can have a single DBL input, or a array of DBL. Normally, that works fine.
Also, when I give those inputsa unit, for example 'km' it works as expected.
However, when I give a polymorphic unit '$1' then the automatic selection of the polymorphic vi doesn't work anymore. I get a broken wire.
The vi still works. When I manually change 'select type' from automatic to the array instance, it works again.
I wonder if this behaviour is a bug or a design decision?    I understand that adding polymorphic units make the automatic selection more difficult...
I added a zip with a simple example:  polymorphic vi & instances, plus a vi that uses it.
Attachments:
polymorphic vi and unit.zip ‏20 KB

I see I wasn't clear about this.   I'll try to explain.
The polymorphic vi isn't broken.  But the automatic selection of the correct instance of the polymorphic vi is broken.    If you right-click on the polymorphic vi in the example program, and change 'Select Type' to ' Automatic' you get broken wires.   You must select the instance manually to run the program.
Normally, Labview will recognize the difference between a single element and an array, and will automatically select the array instance instead of the single element instance. So you don't need to select the correct instance manually.
Try to the following: Edit the 'array element' vi, and remove the units.  Save 'array element' and 'polymorphic element'.   Also remove the units of the input array in 'use polymorphic vi'.
If you now set 'Select Type' to 'Automatic', you don't get broken wires. Labview automatically recognizes that it should use the array instances, and not the single element instance of the polymorphic vi.
(I see where the confusion comes from...   I saved the example program with the correct manual selection. Change the selection to automatic, and you'll get the broken wires immediately.)

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

Help on browser plugins

Hi everybody! I need your help on this. I am creating a
browser plugin. So here it goes: Do you think Flex will be
effective on this side?
Say for instance, i'll create a browser plugin that allows
users to insert images to email. these images are being gathered
from a server then being showed in a Flex generated swf file. User
then searches and selects which image to insert in the email body
from the Flex app. For other matters, i will use javascript and
PHP.
Do you think it is advisable or is it ok that I use Flex for
this? Or I'd rather settle with Flash? but Flash is
programmer-unfriendly :(
As a hobby, I've been doing some RIAs with Flex for 7 months
now but I've also been using Flash for rich media content before.
Please give your comments. Thanks in advance for your reply.
:smile

Thanks sir. The only thing that might make this a problem is
maybe the SWF file size that Flex generates. Even if i try to
minimize the components and embedded images, one is way too big.
Even though i use RSLs, the SWF it generates is still big. or i
just think so.
