Can I use Acrobat 11to download pdf that only allows me to read, enter data, and print?
I need to complete gov. forms available online as pdf. I can review, enter data and print, but I cannot save to my computer or anywhere else. I need to be able to save so I can return to the form and enter information as I access it. Can this be done if I purchase Acrobat 11 and, if so, can I get the Standard edition? I currently only have Reader.
Yes, if you upgrade to at least Acrobat Standard you will be able to save. Since you can't save with Reader (assuming 11), the forms are probably XFA forms (created with LiveCycle Designer), which must be Reader-enabled in order to be saved with Reader. Reader 11 can save non-enabled AcroForms (forms created with Acrobat), but not non-enabled XFA forms. If you have a Reader version prior to 11, try using Reader 11 to see if it will save.
If you can provide a link to one of the forms, I can tell you for sure what the minimum requirement for saving is.

Create accessible PDFs that only open in Adobe Reader
Is there a way to create/tag/mark PDFs so that they are forced to use Adobe Reader to open? Sounds like a stupid question I know but we have a large number of accessible fillable PDF files that are now being opened by the integrated PDF readers in some new web browsers and as a result, we are experiencing issues with their functionality (fields can't be filled in, submit button not working). All works fine however if we force to open in Adobe reader. Unfortunately, these forms are used by the public and we have no way to force a PC configuration setting on them to do this as we could if these were only internal to our company. Therefore, we were wondering if there was a way to create the PDF file in such a way that only Reader will open them?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksHi zee,
When you say the forms are accessible, do you mean fully compliant with WCAG 2.0 guidelines and/or the Matterhorn Protocol compliance criteria for PDF/UA? If you are not sure, that would be my first suggestion. Truly accessible documents *should* work in any of the major browsers. The new PDF/UA Reference Suite includes an example accessible form - Document 10. It is in Danish but the tagging and other accessibility concepts are the same in any language.
Hope this helps,

Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open
I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?
You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.

How distill a file to strictly PDF/A‑1a:2001 using Acrobat XI? Is that possible at all?
How to distill a MS WORD file to strictly PDF/A‑1a:2001 by using Acrobat XI? Is that possible at all?
It is Amazing because in the Product description to the buyer as you learn from this discussion and see the links it is not absolutley explicit. There is the Product page for standard on:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard.html
there you find the option "more..." under "top features" for Adobe Acrobat Standard, you click and com to:
Features | Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Then down there you see as top feature:
"http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/iso-pdf-x-32000-standards.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/iso-pdf-x-32000-standards.htmlIMPROVED Conform to ISO PDF standards
Create PDF documents that comply with standards managed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)."
and with a image that shows that the product includes both PDF/A and PDF/X.
Even if you follow this link further to:
PDF ISO 32000, PDF/X, PDF archive | Adobe Acrobat XI
The URL indeed says "acrobatstandard" and the page does not distinguish.
Only the section:
"Get help creating accessible PDF files/ Simplify the creation and verification of PDFs that need to conform to accessibility standards for people with disabilities. The Make Accessible guided Action* will help you every step of the way."
is explicitly with anasterix footnoted and is distinguished. It makes clear to buyer that "PDF/X and PDF/A are part of the Standard version", I would say.
I would say as a buyer of the Standard version under these conditions of product description it is normal to believe that two of the most basic "standards" are in the "Standard" version included PDF/X and PDF/A, otherwise Adobe would Asterix and footnote it at least or be more explicit and not mention it as Improvement a.s.f. Another interpretation would be to get the buyer first buying without very explict information the Standard version and then making him over days of trial and questions in a forum where people have also similar problems: Aha!! it is not included. "Upgarde it! and pay us more!"
This is amazing, Gilad. -

Can I use Acrobat to prevent content theft?
Can I use Acrobat to prevent content theft on my Green Living Article website? Is a PDF File Spiderable?
Thanks,
DonaldIt is possible to encrypt the content by using password protection.
However, all passwords are easily removed by 3rd party utilities. DRM is
available that will do the trick but is much more expensive. They
require the use of a dedicated server which adds to the expense. There
are companies that apply DRM to specific pdfs for a cost. One such
company can be found at:

When saving an downloaded pdf-fil, the saved file is corrupt (empty?) and can´t be opened. Happens all the time nowadays, never before. Its a mess. Please advice.
Hi Melbus_SE,
Are you downloading files from your Acrobat.com cloud storage? If so, what browser are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Has something changed on your system since you were able to download/open PDF files successfully? What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using to open these files?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but your answers will help us get to the bottom of this issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac
I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?
All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive. You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB. The installer will be in Finder > Applications. You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself. So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network. -
I purchased an album and didn't receive all of the songs. I have iTunes 9.2.1 so I can't use the new 'Downloading past purchases" feature. How do I get the other songs? Using an Iphone 3Gs
Look under the Store menu in iTunes on your computer for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form, or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.

SOLVED: How can I use or call a function that returns %ROWTYPE?
Hi
edit: you can probably skip all this guff and go straight to the bottom...In the end this is probably just a question of how to use a function that returns a %rowtype. Thanks.
Currently reading Feuerstein's tome, 5th ed. I've downloaded and run the file genaa.sp, which is a code generator. Specifically, you feed it a table name and it generates code (package header and package body) that will create a cache of the specified table's contents.
So, I ran:
HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\OPP5.WEB.CODE\OPP5.WEB.CODE\genaa.sp"
749 /
Procedure created.
HR@XE> exec genaa('EMPLOYEES');which generated a nice bunch of code, viz:
create or replace package EMPLOYEES_cache is
function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
procedure test;
end EMPLOYEES_cache;
create or replace package body EMPLOYEES_cache is
TYPE EMPLOYEES_aat IS TABLE OF HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa EMPLOYEES_aat;
TYPE EMP_EMAIL_UK_aat IS TABLE OF HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE INDEX BY HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE;
EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa EMP_EMAIL_UK_aat;
function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE)
return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
begin
return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMPLOYEE_ID_in);
end;
function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE)
return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
begin
return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa (EMAIL_in));
end;
procedure load_arrays is
begin
FOR rec IN (SELECT * FROM HR.EMPLOYEES)
LOOP
EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa(rec.EMPLOYEE_ID) := rec;
EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa(rec.EMAIL) := rec.EMPLOYEE_ID;
end loop;
END load_arrays;
procedure test is
pky_rec HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
begin
for rec in (select * from HR.EMPLOYEES) loop
pky_rec := onerow (rec.EMPLOYEE_ID);
EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec := onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (rec.EMAIL);
if rec.EMPLOYEE_ID = EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec.EMPLOYEE_ID then
dbms_output.put_line ('EMP_EMAIL_UK lookup OK');
else
dbms_output.put_line ('EMP_EMAIL_UK lookup NOT OK');
end if;
end loop;
end test;
BEGIN
load_arrays;
end EMPLOYEES_cache;
/which I have run successfully:
HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\EMPLOYEES_CACHE.sql"
Package created.
Package body created.I am now trying to use the functionality within the package.
I have figured out that the section
BEGIN
load_arrays;
end EMPLOYEES_cache;
/is the initialization section, and my understanding is that this is supposed to run when any of the package variables or functions are referenced. Is that correct?
With that in mind, I'm trying to call the onerow() function, but it's not working:
HR@XE> select onerow(100) from dual;
select onerow(100) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "ONEROW": invalid identifier
HR@XE> select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [55018]
HR@XE> select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual;
select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00936: missing expressionHe provides the code genaa.sp, and a very brief description of what it does, but doesn't tell us how to run the generated code!
Now, I have just done some googling, and it seems that what I am trying to do isn't possible. Apparently %ROWTYPE is PL/SQL, and not understood by SQL, so you can't call onerow() from sql. Correct?
So I try wrapping the call in an exec:
HR@XE> exec select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
BEGIN select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 30:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
HR@XE> exec select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual;
BEGIN select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 14:
PL/SQL: ORA-00936: missing expression
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
HR@XE> exec employees_cache.onerow(100)
BEGIN employees_cache.onerow(100); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00221: 'ONEROW' is not a procedure or is undefined
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignoredNo joy.
Of course, now that I'm looking at it again, it seems that the way to go is indicated by the first error:
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
So am I supposed to create a type of EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE in a PL/SQL procedure, and the idea of this code, is that the first call to onerow() runs the initialiation code, which populates the cache, and all subsequent calls to onerow() (whether by my session or any other) will use the cache?
I've had a stab at this, but still, no joy:
create or replace procedure testcache is
emp employees%rowtype;
begin
select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual into emp;
dbms_output.put_line('Emp id: ' || emp.employee_id);
end testcache;
show errors
HR@XE> @testcache.sql
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.

Ha, figured it out

Hopefully you also figured out that the example is just that: a technical example of how to use certain Oracle functionality. Unfortunately it is also an example of what you should NOT do in an actual application.
That code isn't scaleable, uses expensive PGA memory, has no limit on the amount of memory that might be used and, contrary to your belief will result in EVERY SESSION HAVING ITS OWN CACHE of exactly the same data if the session even touches that package.
Mr. Feuerstein is an expert in SQL and PL/SQL and his books cover virtually all of the functionality available. He also does an excellent job of providing examples to illustrate how that functionality can be combined and used. But the bulk of those examples are intended solely to illustrate the 'technical' aspects of the technology. They do not necessarily reflect best practices and they often do not address performance or other issues that need to be considered when actually using those techniques in a particular application. The examples show WHAT can be done but not necessarily WHEN or even IF a given technique should be used.
It is up to the reader to learn the advantages and disadvantages of each technicalogical piece and determine when and how to use them.

That is correct. To be used by SQL you would need to create SQL types using the CREATE TYPE syntax. Currently that syntax does not support anything similar to %ROWTYPE.

NO! That is a common misconception. Each session has its own set of package variables. Any session that touches that package will cause the entire EMPLOYEES table to be queried and stored in a new associative array specifically for that session.
That duplicates the cache for each session using the package. So while there might be some marginal benefit for a single session to cache data like that the benefit usually disappears if multiple sessions are involved.
The main use case that I am aware of where such caching has benefit is during ETL processing of staged data when the processing of each record is too complex to be done in SQL and the records need to be BULK loaded and the data manipulated in a loop. Then using an associative array as a lookup table to quickly get a small amount of data can be effective. And if the ETL procedure is being processed in parallel (meaning different sessions) then for a small lookup array the additional memory use is tolerable.
Mitigating against that is the fact that:
1. Such frequently used data that you might store in the array is likely to be cached by Oracle in the buffer cache anyway
2. Newer versions of Oracle now have more than one cache
3. The SQL query needed to get the data from the table will use a bind variable that eliminates repeated hard parsing.
4. The cursor and the buffer caches ARE SHARED by multiple sessions globally.
So the short story is that there would rarely be a use case where ARRAYs like that would be preferred over accessing the data from the table. -
Can I use iTunes to download iOS 8.0.2 once and then install on multiple new iPhone 5S we have at work?
Our 30 new iPhone 5S came with iOS 7.1.1.The fact that the OS requires 3.8GB of storage is ridiculous to begin with. Especially when they know there are a ton of 16GB models out there. Clearly another big brother attempt by Apple to force new iPhone sales which amazes me beyond description. If I experience pain with a product, I'm not going to buy another one and "hope" the problems go away. I'm going to buy a competitor's product. Apparently the lemmings keep following the herd or Apple couldn't continue these strong arm tactics. I'll stay on iOS 6.x until I'm ready for a new phone then...by another manufacturer.

What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.
Two thoughts:
(1) It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
(2) You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
Good luck.
