Changing document properties

Hi,
I want to change the properties of my PDF documents on Mac OS but it's impossible to change anything. Has someone got a solution ?
Thank you

You mean "properties" as in File>Properties?
If so, you would need Acrobat and not the free Reader.

Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

Read-only Collaborator can edit Contract Document properties

We have a master agreement with a read-only collaborator. The security profile for this collaborator role is identical to the stock "Document Reviewer" profile, i.e. only View is set.
However this supposedly read-only collaborator is able to edit Contract Document properties. They click on the Contract Documents tab, then drill into a Contract Document, and then click on the Edit button. From there, they have the ability to change fields such as Name, Descrpition, Effective Date, etc. They cannot change or delete the actual file attachment itself.
Is this an issue with CLM, or is there some security setting we are missing somewhere? Please tell me this is not working as designed ..
thanks.

Hi Terry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want the yollow bar notification to display when you open Access documents.
This issue seems to be about the client application. Please compare the followings with the things that you did:
1.Open the documents
2.Click File->Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings
3.Click Protected View, unselect ‘Enable Protected View for originating from the Internet’
4.Click Message Bar, select ‘Never show information about blocked content’
5.Click Macro Settings, select ‘Disable all macros without notification’
In addition, as this issue is about Office, I commend you create a new thread in Office forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

I hope this helps.

Document Properties - Initial View

Is there a way to set the "Initial View" settings when creating PDFs rather than manually changing them all via the Document Properties dialog box?
Most specifically, I would like to set the Magnification to "Fit Page" for all the PDFs I create. I don't see it as something that can be defined in the Acrobat Distiller presets.
Haven't found anything about it on the forums after several searches.
Thanks.

Thanks, Dave.
I will check that epilogue.ps out.
Not sure why my searches of the forums turned up nothing.
I actually use the terms Initial View (among others) and it gave me zero results.
Obviously, your post should have appeared.

508- Document Properties - Disabled ..."All of the text on this page lacks a language specification"

Hi,
When i try to do 508 check. I got the following error message
"All of the text on this page lacks a language specification'
I checked "FILE=>Document Properties". All "Document Properties" are disabled.
We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create this dynamic for and save it as static PDF file.
Still, we have same issue. I am not sure, how to change or setup the language in adobe livecycle designer es2.
thank you,

Ah, I don't know that. "Tables" is a collection, not a simple array, and some careless experimentation shows that you cannot simply use .concat to paste them together.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of workarounds for a situation like this. Perhaps it's time to read "[CS3][JS] everyItem() and getElements()" -- i.e. Marc Autret's blog posts about this, at the end of that thread.
That is, if you stick to using everyItem()! Perhaps it's easier to build an array "the old fashioned way". This code is based on my earlier assumption you had textframes-in-textframes, but you can rewrite it to cater for groups as well:
t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().tables;
tableList = [];
for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
tableList.push (t[i]);
t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().tables;
for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
tableList.push (t[i]);
alert (tableList.length);

Access and change documents property with KM API

Hi,
I am trying to access KM with the KM API to change some document properties.
I tried following cod, but I get errors for the IUser:
IService service = PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IUserManagementService.KEY);
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User((IUser)request.getUser().getUser());
IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext(user);
RID path = RID.getRID("/documents/Access/mydoc.doc");
IResource res;
res = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(path, context);
response.write("ResourceDisplay Name"+res.getDisplayName());
IPropertyName propName;
propName = new PropertyName("http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm/rendering","displayname");
IMutablePropertyMap map = new MutablePropertyMap();
IProperty property;
response.write(map.get(propName).toString());
property = new Property(propName, "Asia");
map.put(property);
res.setProperty(property);
Does anybody have an example code? Or can anybody help me?
Thank you
Regards
Ismail

Hi,
This should work:
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(request.getUser());
Make sure you added a sharing reference for "com.sap.km.application" in your portalapp.xml.
Best regards,

Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting. I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010. If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

I have the exact identical problem. Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7). I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything. No error or anything. If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing. This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue. However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Linking Custom Document Properties to SharePoint

We currently have a Microsoft Office Add-in that, among other things, reads and writes Custom Document Properties. Our add-in includes a user-dialogue through which these values are captured and subsequently displayed within the document.
We now have a requirement to integrate this functionality with SharePoint 2010. In particular, we want our Office custom document properties to be co-ordinated with equivalent SharePoint server properties (i.e. site columns in Document Libraries) so that,
when a given SharePoint property value is changed the equivalent custom document property is also changed.
Users must be able to set the properties in either SharePoint or in an Office App (Word for example) and the changes be reflected in both places.
Our solution must work with the desktop versions of Office 2010/13 and the non-Office365 versions of SharePoint 2010/13.
During our initial prototyping we have looked at a number of possible approaches (including Document Property Promotion and Demotion) but are still not sure which appropriate to use.
With regard to Document Property Promotion and Demotion for example, we found that, if we create a document outside SharePoint, then invoke our add-in to set document properties, then upload the document to SharePoint; the SharePoint properties and the
Office Custom Document Properties are initially in step, any subsequent changes cause problems.
If we now change the SharePoint properties by editing them in SharePoint and then open the document in Word, the Custom Document Properties are unchanged. Similarly, any change we make in Word is not reflected in the
SharePoint properties when the document is saved back to the SharePoint library.
Our properties are all of type string in Word and type Choice in SharePoint.
For various reasons, our solution must not depend in any way on Office templates.
We would like to know what would be the recommended approach to implementing this functionality.
Below provides a basic diagram of our requirement:

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to sync the custom document properties between document and SharePoint Library.
A solution can be like this: We can add an Event Receiver to this library, it will be triggered when there is a file is checked in or the item of list is updated, then we can
read/write the specific document properties and sync between document and SharePoint Library.
The whole scenario would be like this: When a document is uploaded and checked in, the method put in the Event Receiver will be triggered and update the related columns of library.
When we updated these columns in library, we can capture the ItemUpdated event and update the corresponding properties of this document.
Here is a step by step sample on creating a simple Item added event receiver:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408183(v=office.14).aspx
For about how to update the custom properties of an Office Document, it is recommended you post another question to the Microsoft Office for Developers forum, you will get more
help and confirmed answers from there.

Changing security properties

how do I change security properties in Adobe Reader X or in Acrobat.com? I can create pdf's and convert but my documents have no security.

There is no mechanism for changing the security on a PDF file from within Acrobat.com. You can choose to make it private or public, but that's all.
To add password protection, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat.
Hope this helps!

Help needed re document properties and tracing edits of the contents

Hi there,
We are in a situation where we believe a document may have been edited unethically and need to find out what the terminology means.
The original document exists in print and we have been sent a 'copy' of the same document via email several months later.
The date created and modified, however, is very recent.
We know the document has been altered as it is different to the original and are trying to find out when exactly it was modified.
It is an acrobat document created on a Mac. In the document properties box it says 'Application: Word' so I guess that means that they created it in Word and saved it as an Acrobat file?
It says the date created is 05/06/14 and the date modified is 05/06/14.
Does this mean that the file's content has been changed or does it just mean that it has been saved etc?
Any help very gratefully received!

You can't really say anything. Files don't start out as PDFs, they start out as something else like a Word document.
So, if you have the Word document, you can make a PDF any time.
Edit the Word document any time, and make another PDF.
Also, computer dates can be set by anyone any time. Dates in a PDF can be changed (though not by Acrobat, but it isn't rocket science). If you are looking into this from a legal point of view, dates on a document are worthless.
Digitally signed documents have value provided they are signed in particular ways.
Acrobat has a compare document facility, but all this will do is confirm the changes.
To be honest, it sounds more as if they send you a new copy from the Word document, when it was asked for. Someone might have changed the document in the mean time, without tracking the changes in a way you'd have wished.

Document properties

Hi
I am creating a form in Livecycle and then when viewing in Acrobat Pro the document properties options are all greyed out. This is frustrating as I have not been able to set the document to open in full view and add metadata there. I am sure that I have had this working before as one of my documents does open in full view. I have now tried a few other livecyle examsples and getting the same problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
XFA forms developed in LC are completely different animals compared to AcroForms (Acrobat forms) or normal PDF documents.
The XFA form is "wrapped" in a PDF package so that Acrobat can open it. A lot of the normal Acrobat functionality is not available in an XFA form. For example you can add comments, insert video, or change the properties. Have a quick scan of the menu items in a LC form that is opened in Acrobat.
You could change the default magnification setting in the Acrobat preferences and that should apply to your LC forms when opened.
That's the best way I can explain it. Other than the previous post I do not know of any other work around. Someone else may have a better solution.
Good luck,
Niall

Document properties - screen transparancy

I have a problem with reading document properties because they appear in a transparant screen. Why and how to change.

It is 1440x900 for this user.

Document Properties time stamp

Post Author: Hieu
CA Forum: crystalreports.com
The time stamp in Document Properties (such as this one "07-08-08 17:04:50.338") is based on Eastern Time Zone. Is it possible to change this to reflect my local date/time as seen on the bottom of the Crystal Reports XI application? We are in Hawaii, and we don't observe daylight savings. Therefore, our users must remember to calculate a difference of 5 hour or 6 hours depending on Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer, respectively. Quite tedious.
Also, can you change the 4-digit year instead of only the last 2 digits? When viewers see xx-xx-xx, they tend to first think mm,dd,yy which is not correct. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions. We may provide features for end users to set the default timezone and date format in future releases.

Custom document properties accessible via Javascript?

I don't see any method in the Document Javascript object model to read custom properties that have been added to a document.
Is this not accessible to Javascript? I will resort to using a field in the document to store information about the file that I'd like to access if not, but I would prefer to put this info (which will not change, btw) into the custom properties if possible.

Under 'Document Properties' (where you can enter an Author, Subject, Keywords, etc.) there is an additional tab which allows you to define custom properties. What I want to do is store info (stuff like version, a document ID#, etc) in a common place that can be accessed by my script.
Edit - in Acrobat 7 the menu is 'Document Properties', in Acrobat 8, the menu is 'Properties'.
