Creating Artifacts for 508 compliance accessibility

Good afternoon.
I ran a full accessibility check on my pdf file and received notification that "None of the comments or other types of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree". It stated that I could fix the issue by creating artifacts. Does anyone know how to do this? Any insight would be extremely helpful.
Thank you.

Hi
I ran a full check accessibiilty report on a document and some of the issues that came back are Inaccessible Page Content how do I resolve this issue using Acrobat 7.0.
Thanks in advance.

Deleting Comments & Stranded Annotations for 508 Compliance

We create PDFs and send them to different departments through Adobe's shared review system so that our editors and subject matter experts can make revision comments. The Graphic Artists then make revisions and send the PDFs back through for more rounds of review. Each round of review may incur a multitude of comments and there is usually multiple rounds of review. In the end those files need to be 508 Compliant to deliver to our customers so prior to delivery we (GAs) must delete the comments. When we do that Acrobat leaves a stranded Popup and Text Annotation for each comment that was previously in the file. These annotations are not associated to any content in the file nor are they tagged in any way which causes the file to fail the 508 Accessibility Check. To remedy that we (the GAs) have to go in and delete each of those stranded annotations one at a time using the Select Object tool. Since we have so many rounds of review, and therefore many many comments, and therefore a lot of those stranded annotations that need to be deleted manually this takes a LONG time.
Using the PDF optimizer or the Preflight cleanup tool DOES get rid of all the comments and those stranded annotations but it strips out ALL the annotations in the file which means ALL the interactivity is gone. We lose all our hyperlinks and buttons which is obviously not going to work either.
So, my question is this: is there a way to remove ALL the comments from a PDF including their accompanying annotations WITHOUT removing all the interactive elements from a file?
BTW: I’m cross-posting this in the Accessibility AND the Commenting forums here on Adobe.com
Thanks!

If you have Acrobat Pro XI, please check out the "Preflight" tool (Edit -> Preflight; or simply use the Cmd-Shift-X shortcut):
in Acrobat Preflight you have profiles, checks and fixups
in the fixups part search for "Remove all annotations", and duplicate this fixup (using the "Options" menu in the upper right of the Preflight window)
edit the duplicated fixup, and change the option for "Type" from "All" to "All commenting annotations", also make sure to adjust the name of the fixup accordingly
once done, run the fixup on one of your files
Please make sure to also execute the following two steps:
double check whether all those stray anotations are actually gone
double check that those annotations you want to keep are still there
Should any of these two not turn out to be exactly what you need, you may have to finetune the fixup setup (and possibly use several fixups to address annotation types in a more specific manner; should you end up with more than one fixup, you could combine them into a profile). If you have several fiels to clean up, you could also use a batch sequence, e.g. applying the fixup to all files in a given folder. Or you could create a droplet, put it on your desktop, and then drag'n drop your PDFs onto it to do the clean up.
HTH.

Help Needed Creating AppleScript for Dial Up Access and Updates

Hello,
Due to my location I can only access the internet via Dial Up. I would like to create a script that wakes up my Mini early in the AM, dials my ISP and checks to see if there are any Apple Updates. I'd like to do this at night so my family doesn't have to compete with updates when they are using the computer.
I've done the Apple Scripting tutorials and have a feel how to do the basics. But I cannot find any information on how to access the USB Modem (US Robotics), get it to dial, access the "Check for Updates" page, download, install and then disconnect.
Can anyone point me to a functional script that will do this or tell me where I can find the modem related scripting commands?
Thanks

1). Does your script both get and install updates if they exist ? If not what should be added to accomplish that?
If you use man softwareupdate to look at the command line options for softwareupdate you'll find:
-i | --install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and unarchived,
and also installed. The install flag requires root. args
can be one of the following:
item ... One or more update names.
-a | --all All appropriate updates.
-r | --req All required updates.
So '-i' tells softwareupdate to install the updates, and '-a' tells it to install all available updates, as opposed to a specific update, or 'required' ones.
2). Can you suggest an addition to the script that will disconnect the dial up modem and then shut down our Mac Mini?
That's going to be harder because, as written, the script performs the softwareupdate in the background. It does that so that you don't run into timeout issues (by default AppleScript will timeout after a certain period, canceling the script in progress). Since it's not clear how long the updates will take to download and install it isn't possible to predict what the appropriate timeout should be.
The easiest way to disconnect would be to just configure the dialup connection to disconnect after a certain period of idleness (System Preferences -> Network -> Modem -> Advanced -> PPP -> Options or some such). If that doesn't suffice let me know and I'll craft up a revised script.

Creating Artifacts for "old Movie" look

I'm trying to create a symbol that will go over a silver screen in a project i'm working on. The symbol I want to repeat over and over and create an artifact look. Like how in the old moves you would sometimes get those lines on the sides or splotches.
I've tried doing a mask (So that only a certian amount of space is visable.) but it jsut flashed black and white.

Also, and I know I'm going to get flac for mentioning this, Matrox has a pretty good "Old Movie" effect. We've got the RT.X2 card and I used the effect for some footage a client needed for a Western-themed event. It let you control the amount of dust and scratches, the jitter effect and the grainness as well as making it pure black and white or sepia colored.
If you're looking for a free method, you can create the effect manually using After Effects, but it takes some effort. I'm pretty sure there are some tutorials out there to show you how to do it.
Take a look at this:

Limit to Custom Screen Reader Text for 508 Compliance

I am converting forms for a government Agency. The forms must be Section 508 compliant. Some pages of the forms are full pages of instructional text. I am using a single field to contain all of the accessibility text so that I can control the flow of information through the tab order with limited additional tabbing from the original version. I am adding all of the text in a Jaws friendly format into the Custom Screen Reader Text field under the Accessibility tab in the Object window. When I test the form, Jaws stops reading the Accessibility text about 980 characters in. The only way to get it to read the text in its entirety is to use the down arrow key, which forces the Jaws reader to read it line by line. This is not desirable. Has anyone else experienced this? Why is there a seemingly arbitrary limit to how much Accessibility text that can be passed to Jaws?
I am using Livecycle 7.1 and testing in Acrobat Professional 7 and Adobe Reader 8 with Dynamic PDF 7.0.5.

An associate in the field told me this is not a problem with Adobe's product. Rather it is a problem with Jaws. Apparently he has the same problem with Jaws and IBM Workplace Forms.

Creating users for admin console access

When I install the web server onto my system part of the installation is to create an admin user and password. I'd like to create another user to log into the web server admin console with the same or limited permissions. I don't want to have to hand out the 'admin' password to multiple people, I'd prefer to create new accounts for each person that needs to administer some part of the webserver and set permissions for each. Can't seem to find out how this is done in the admin guide.

508 Compliance Question

Hi, All!
I work for a small company who is developing a training
product for production and sale. Since this is our first project of
this type, can anyone give me insight on the demand for 508
Compliance? Also, is there more demand for one disability than
another?
Thanks,
Bob

I work at a college and have to create complex Section 508-compliant PDFs throughout the year. Though you've probably upgraded to CS6 or higher, I thought I'd share info on an ID plug-in that is very helpful with determining and setting the reading order from within ID. It is called "FrameMaker," by Rorohiko, and it puts a tiny label on each frame of a page. For example, if I select a frame, the reading order "number" will show on the top right of the frame. So I'll know immediately that I need to fix the order before creating a pdf.
Very inexpensive. Definitely worth the money.

BTW: If you have to create text files from large ID files, their TextExporter is fabulous.

Flex 3 And Section 508 Compliance

Hey guys,
We are developing a new RIA that has pretty complex screens,
navigation system, modal modules loading on top of others, detailed
interaction with grids, trees, etc. and a requirement for making it
508 compliant has come across my desk.
I've done a bit of research on what Adobe has to offer on
their compliance. The components look to be compliant, but from
what I can tell the compliance works best on simple forms and
screens that don't require a great deal of complexity. I'm also
having trouble finding real world examples of people who have
developed complex RIAs in Flex made for 508 compliance.
Silverlight is also being evaluated, and I'm not sure if they
are any better when it comes to the complexity of a deep RIA.
Does anyone here have any experience developing for 508 in
Flex, and if so can you shed some light on what challenges a
developer might face, or any short comings of Flex that would
prevent it from conforming to 508?
I'd also appreciate any RIAs anyone can point me to that are
508 compliant, they seem to be few and far, even the ones listed at
Adobe, most are broken links or no longer available.
Thanks.

That is a concern for state governments as well. We (alaska)
are required to make our (outward facing) sites compliant. Flex
will not allow that unless you stick to the basics ... however, if
you do that, then you might as well script in html as the results
would be basically the same.

ADA 508 Compliance Workflow Overview (tab key for navigation / WebAim Toolbar)

Hi,
I've been assigned to update interactive training for a State agency..... with of course, an emphasis on ADA / 508 compliance.
So, before I pinpoint my two questions/scenarios, here is a basic, initial attempt at providing an overview of ADA compliance workflow in Captivate and beyond.
PS - useful Captivate forum urls are at the end of this post. I'm using Captivate v.6
ADA Compliance Workflow Overview:
1. All assets need an alt tag and conceivably a description > highlight the asset, like a pic, and click the Accessibility button under Properties.
2. Create slide notes for each slide > load slide, highlight no assets and click the Accessibility tab under Properties. Copy and paste your notes > for screen readers.
3. Need closed captioning for video/audio content > I use Camtasia for CC and will use the JW player for screen reader of video content.
4. Interactivity needs to be accessible via the tab and enter keys.
What else am I missing?
Question 1
My question targets how to get the enter key to initiate after a successful tab. To be clearer.... I hit tab and I can navigate through all the buttons in the correct order, but hitting enter provides no action. I am gettining the yellow highlights around buttons when I tab through. Everything works very well when using the mouse, but blind users don't use mice.
I did create my own animation buttons in Flash and imported them in as animations. I then placed a Click Box behind the button animation to engage the rollover action. Could this be causing problems? The prebuilt (and clunky looking) buttons on the quizzes do work (ie) tabbing to them and hitting enter provides effective navigation.
I'm opting not to use the playback control skin, only my Flash nav bar.
Question 2 (Scenario 2)
I have downloaded the WebAim Toolbar feature designed for FireFox, used to check ADA compliance issues.
I am getting this error message:
A frame does not have a title attribute or value. Okay... I bet I can fix this via the .html file or via the standard.js file??
and these warnings:
Alert: Javascript in head - A javascript element is present in the page head section.
Alert: Flash - A Flash object is present.
Does anyone know if these alerts are worth fixing?
Obviously Captivate is going to pump out, or rather publish... javascript elements, but is this bad in the page head section?
And..... of course a Flash object is present...Captivate produces Flash / Shockwave files.
I'll obviously ask the programmers at WebAim for guidance as well. As always any help would be appreciated and Tanks in advance.

Hi,
Attached is my zipped project file. I did create my own buttons in Flash - this might be the problem. I have only been problem solving with navigation on the first four slides.
To clarify, hitting the Enter key does engage navigation, however I’m having difficulty controlling the navigation so that it goes to the correct location.
I’m using Captivate v.6 / publishing SCORM 1.2 / Using IE to deliver via the SyberWorks LMS.
Here is question 1:

InDesign SWF and accessibility/508 compliance

Hi,
I'm trying to ensure a simple SWF I created in InDesign meets basic accessibility requirements. Can I do this with InDesign's tagging features? Would it work similar to creating an accessible PDF?
Thanks

I'm guessing that that is not possible in InDesign's SWF files.
I think you would have to do that in Flash Professional.
Googling "SWF accessibility" brought me to this link to some Adobe TV videos:

Accessibility-mode set to inaccessible and 508 compliance

Hi,
I'm using JDEV 10.1.3.3.0.
I've set accessibility-mode to inaccessible in adf-faces-config.xml in order to set the InitialFocusID on some of my pages. Does this setting mean that my application is not/cannot be 508 compliant?
Is there a way to use the InitialFocusID (or other way to position the cursor) and use ADF Faces automatic 508 compliance code?
TIA,
Dave

Hi,
ensure you use the correct version of JAWS. In the past I've seen things like this caused by the JAWS reader. If the problem still shows and you have a support contract, provide a test case and file a bug
My problem is when i use tab key from keyboard to navigate on the page the component highlights(dotted line around the component ) but it does not open the required popup.
This is because there is no setting in your page code that says that the popup should show when the component is in focus.
+<af:showPopupBehaviour popupId="alertPopup" triggerType="mouseOver" align="startbefore"/>+
+<af:showPopupBehaviour popupId="alertPopup" triggerType="contextMenu" align="startbefore"/>+

I designer I want to create forms for web client, does each client have to purchase form central to access the data?

I designer I want to create forms for web client, does each client have to purchase form central to access the data?

Hi,
In this scenario, you can share the document with the clients to and provide co-author privileges.
Co-authors can edit the form design, options, responses, and summary report (everything that you can do).
Note:- They do not require a paid subscription to view the responses, free subscription users can become co-authors.
Please refer to the following thread to know how to share a form with others:-How do I share a form I created with others?

Can we access tables created internally for Business objects in CAF

Hi,
     When we create and Deploying Business objects in CAF then internally it creates tables in Oracle/Maxdb database. Can we access those tables through CAF.
          Or is it possible for Oracle to access the Business objects tables which are deployed on SAP Web Application server?
          We can configure the Oracle driver in the SAP Web App Server. But how can we use it?

Hi Rohit!
Can we access the tables created internally for BO's without the use of CRUD methods provided by them.?
Or
Can we fire queries on these tables through Oracle.? As the tables are created along with BO's in the database.
Maybe, you can do that, but why do you want to do that?
Based on the Entity Services (i.e., CRUD and find operations) that are generated for your BOs, you can implement Application Services which contain any business operation that you want to perform. Furthermore, you can expose your Application Services as Web Services. That's the designated way to do that.
Manually manipulating the underlying database tables does not sound like a good idea.
Best regards
Alexander

Error General Security Access denied : in creating timesheet for a resource using PSI C#

I'm trying to create timesheet for a resource using Method
timeSheetSvc.CreateTimesheet(timeSheetDs, svc_Timesheet.
PreloadType.Default)
get error :
[System.ServiceModel.FaultException] = {"ProjectServerError(s) LastError=GeneralSecurityAccessDenied Instructions: Pass this into PSClientError constructor to access all error information"}

As Glen says, it sounds like a Kerberos delegation issue. IIS does not run in the same context as Visual Studio, and you may be hitting double-hop.
Try using another auth method to confirm (CredSSP is the default).
I have tested this code against Ex15 and Ex14:

Cannot create profile for IMG display only access - Timeout

Hello all,
I have created a role for IMG display only role. It has hundreds of Org values and fields. I have made ACTVT=03 in change Authorization
Everything is fine except when i click to create profile, the system does starts processing but its taking hell of a time. It times out since the system has time out after 9000s. Anyway 2 hrs for creating profile..phew!
Is there a way I can create profile?
Alternatively, Is there a simpler way to create role for IMG display only access?

How are you building your role? It shouldn't be timing out - might be worth having a chat with your basis team.
Alternatively, if you can save the role (but not generate it) you might be able to generate it in the background via transaction SUPC. It's better to understand why you cany create it first though.
