Disable Bluebeam Revu Office Addins globally?

Hello,
Our office uses Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, with a combination of Office 2010/2013 64 bit, and Bluebeam Revu x64 CAD as our main PDF editor.
We're trying to look for a way to globally disabled the Bluebeam Add-Ins so that they do not load at startup inside Word, Excel, and Outlook. For those of you who use Bluebeam, you probably know that it has a "Bluebeam Administrator" component
that has a "Plug-ins" tab and allows you to check/uncheck the Microsoft Office & Microsoft Outlook Bluebeam plugins. This option does seem to work as intended - in Word for example - it does add/remove the Bluebeam tab on the ribbon. However,
we've noticed that even with the Bluebeam plugin disabled, if you go to File > Options > Add-ins, and choose COM Add-ins, you'll still see the Bluebeam add-in option there, with the box checked, and the Load Behavior: "Load at startup".
So it appears to us, that is is not TRULY disabled. The other piece of the pie is that changing it via the Bluebeam Administrator, or via the command prompt, appears to be profile specific. If I was to login as another user, I would have to do this
process again. I'm sure you can quickly appreciate how tedious this becomes in a large enterprise environment. The only way we've been able to consistently get rid of it, is to run Word/Excel/Powerpoint as an administrator, and then go into the
COM add-ins, highlight the Bluebeam add-in, and click "Remove".
So I have two questions:
1. Can anyone confirm that when a plugin still shows as "checked on" inside the COM add-ins section of Word, that it IS still loading, even though it otherwise appears to be disabled?
2. Does anyone know a good way to truly remove the Bluebeam add-in in Word/Excel/Outlook for all computers and users - via login script or group policy, etc.?
I've been going back and forth with Bluebeam tech support about this and they keep asking me to "make sure you have administrator rights", and "make sure you're running the command prompt as an administrator" (when enabling/disabling
the addins via command prompt). I am in the Domain Admins group, and Domain Admins have local admin rights on all our machines, so I don't believe this to be an "admin rights" issue. I can even see the registry key changing (HKLM >
Software > Microsoft > Office > Word > Addins), but none of these options ever get rid of the actual COM Add-In inside of the Office programs without us manually removing it. They also told me at one point that this is by design and even
though the COM Add-In shows up, it's still "not loaded".
Any ideas?

Hello STerenta, not much ideas here except that I'm experiencing the same thing. Have you found a solution for these unwanted add ins, since august 2013? Cheers, Paul.

Questions in Office 365 - Product Office Addins - How Best To Set Up Test & Dev Environments

Hello Team,
One of our customer raised this below query: (Please refer :
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/p/290555/887029.aspx#887029)
We have an existing product which has a set of components which are
Office Addins, working on Office 2007, 2010, 2013.
We have a customer who has asked us to support these on Office 365, as their Microsoft strategy is to move to this platform.
Our understanding is that there are two flavors of Office 365:
A browser-based version written in JavaScript (akin to Google Docs)
version which installs the full Office 2013 on the client, using Click-To-Run as the deployment technology.
We are planning to work with option 2 only just now (for Office 2013 only – not for 2010 or 2007).
In order for us to start working on this, we’ll need Office 365 clients installed both in our development and test environments. We see that we can access Office 365 through our MSDN subscription by doing this:
a. Launching this site:
https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/Pages/index.aspx
b. Signing in
c. Clicking on Resources->Access my software and keys
d. Choosing Office 365
However when we do this, we get this information:
"Important Information on activating your cloud licenses Your cloud product key can only be redeemed once. Therefore, in order to activate your Internal-use cloud
licenses on your existing cloud tenant, you MUST sign in BEFORE you activate your 25 digit cloud product key. Once your cloud product key has been redeemed, you will be unable to use it again.
You have the choice to deploy your program license grants as an on-premises only, online only, or an on-premises and online combination solution. Your combined usage
for on-premises Office products and Office 365 may not exceed your program license entitlement. Country and worldwide license maximums apply. To ensure you are compliant with program policy and guidelines, refer to the Product Usage Guide."
We are not clear on what the above means for us exactly, and which option we should choose: on-premises only, online only, or an on-premises and
online combination solution.
Please advise. Many Thanks.

Hello Balamurugan,
The current forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on the
Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility
or
Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility
forums instead.

The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
Give it a shot. Good luck.

Adobe Acrobat 11 Office Addin

I have a recurring issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0 COM Addin causing Microsoft Word 2013 to Crash.
I have tried to reboot
I have tried to "repair" Acrobat Pro v 11.0
I have uninstalled and re installed Acrobat Pro v 11.0
I have re-imaged my PC and re installed freshly Adobe Acrobat Pro v 11.0 and MS Office 2013
None of the above solutions have worked. When converting a Word document to PDF using the Acrobat Ribbon It consistently causes MS Word to crash and when the restart of the application occurs the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is disabled and even when I enable it the Acrobat Ribbon is not made available until a full PC reboot.
I am running:
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit Version - Service Pack One
MS Office 2013
Adobe Acrobat 11.0 v 11.0.10

Disable Popup confirmation on station globals modified externally

Hi,
Is there any way to Disable the Popup confirmation Message saying the staiton globals are modified externally from TestStand?
Regards,
Ramjee V

Hey Ramjee,
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to disable the dialog. I saw your other thread about the station globals, and would be happy to try and help figure out a different way to accomplish what you're trying to do that wouldn't require you to keep updating the globals. Let us know if we can do anything to help!

Since Office 365 is a Microsoft product and not an Apple product, it doubtful you'll get an answer here. Suggest you post in a M$ Office 365 forum, like this one http://support.microsoft.com/ph/15834/en Google for others.

Disable second level global navigation

Hi,
We have a requirement where we want to disable second level menu in global navigation.
Business Site1
|
Business Site 2 --> Business Site 3
So the currently, the Business Site 2 is clickable. Our requirement is that Business Site 2 should not be clickable, only Business Site 1 and business Site 3 should be clickable.
Or on click of business Site 2 , business Site 3 should open.
The setting for global navigation is to inherit from parent site and Show subsite is set to true. So there are no explicit nodes created. All the nodes are for Subsites. In this way when I try to change the settings programmatically, the count of nodes
is 0 as there are no nodes available.
Please help.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Victoria,
Thanks a lot for the above script. That has worked for me and I am able to disable only the second level navigation. Just one correction is needed in the above script. "static" class should be replaced by "dynamic". So the final script would look like this:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function ()
$(".s4-tn li.dynamic.dynamic-children > a").attr("href","#");
});</script>
The above script will work perfect. I am marking this as answer. Thanks again.
Just one more question. Will that above script be limited to global navigation only. Won't that affect any other links on the Site.?
Regards,
Vijay

All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

Hello all,
Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
Other information:
1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
clean.
2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rick

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Acrobat Std/Pro 8 addin for Outlook causing causing corruption of email graphics & pollution of Outl

Our IT Support team, in conjunction with Microsoft Premier Support, has been investigating reports of email messages not correctly displaying graphics. Microsoft Premier Support has identified the Adobe PDFmaker addin for Microsoft Outlook as the cause.
When active, the Adobe PDFmaker addin stops Outlook from clearing it's temporary working folder, resulting in this folder becoming 'pollulted' over time, and ultimately affecting the ability of Outlook to use the temporary working folder for caching graphics received in emails.
Please follow the below steps to replicate the issue.
(Note: our testing has been performed with Adobe Acrobat Standard / Professional version 8.1.2 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 and SP3 running from Windows XP SP2)
Steps to replicate
==================
1. Ensure Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional is installed to the machine
2. Ensure Microsoft Outlook is closed
3. Identify the location of your Outlook temporary working folder. This information can be obtained from the registry key: HKEY_CURENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
4. Using Explorer, delete the contents of the Outlook temporary working folder (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK91)
5. Once the Outlook temporary working folder is empty, open Microsoft Outlook, and open an email message containing graphics
6. Observe that the Outlook temporary working folder now contains the supporting JPG images that are loaded by the email :
7. Close Microsoft Outlook
8. Wait for 30 seconds, and re-open Microsoft Outlook
9. Re-open the same email message containing embedded graphic images, confirm that the graphics are correctly displayed.
10. Close the email, then close Microsoft Outlook
11. Observe that the Outlook temporary working folder now contains a second copy of the supporting JPG images that are loaded by the email
This is a bug. The expected behaviour of Microsoft Outlook would be that the above files should be automatically deleted from the Outlook temporary folder when the email is closed.
With continued use the Outlook temporary folder will continue to grow as the user opens & closes emails with embedded graphics, as the files in this folder are not being automatically deleted when no longer accessed by Microsoft Outlook. Eventually this will affect the performance of Outlook and ultimately result in the graphic images not being displayed in any email messages.
The Workaround
==============
Microsoft have recommended the below registry entry be modified in order to rectify this issue:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook\LoadBe havior
The value of the LoadBehavior key needs to be changed from "3" to "2" to disable the Adobe PDFMaker addin from Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested Microsoft's recommendation and confirmed that it resolves the above symptoms.

William,
Thanks for the report. May I ask that you file a bug report so that
Adobe will be officially aware of the issue and fix. Maybe it will be
fixed or the solution posted in the knowledgebase.

Best approach to develop office add-in

Hello,
i'm a .net programmer and i've developed addins for outlook/ word and excel with VS 2008 + .net 3.5 + VSTO.
There were many problem initially with the VSTO addin and i faced lot of difficulties to solve them specially when working with both Outlook and Word.
My client has Adobe Acrobat installed on every machine and no doubt the performance of Acrobat addin in office application is superb. On the other hand VSTO addins take time to load and the performance is specially low when tehre is a interaction between VB6 and MS Office application.
Many times the Outlook addin gets disabled if outlook is not running and VB6 code creates new mail item to send and display it to user. Many times mail window freezes and many such problems.
Now the question i've here is can anyone tell me the best approach to develop Office addin like how and in what language Acrobat addin is developed? or best practice to develop it with VSTO and which is best with a why?
Thanks,
Hemant

Hi,
In many cases, if your structure is very complex, you can not get direct nested xml after content conversion. In that case, in the mapping we need to handle the generation of nested strutcure. So you use Java or xslt mapping etc.. if it is not possible via graphical mapping. Also you can do this in the adapter module.
Here you go with good example- Generic Structure-
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/16/configuring-generic-sender-file-cc-adapter
Also file content conversion - limitations-
