Document Generation in MSA - Make Word Doc Read-Only or PDF Documents

Hello,
The mobile sales client comes with an Document Generation tool to fill Word Document Templates with SAP data on demand.
Because of legal issues, we do not want to allow anyone to be able to modify the generated word document. Using the permission functionality of the word template is not working as it would prevent the Generator itself to fill in the data.
Is there any option to set the created Document to "Read-only" after the generation is finished or to convert the Word document on fly to a PDF version?
As I am not so experienced in VB I would appreciate any code examples.
Regards,
Andreas

Hi,
there are at least 2 different ways to implement your request:
- before and after the word document is created you can start a word makro (which e.g. disables the document); this would be done in the method "TextGeneration" of the underlying BO, e.g. BOSALESDOCGEN. The code is quite simple, in earlier Word versions it was sth like
WordObj.ToolsMacro sMacroname, 1
- you can call any 3rd party SW to convert the doc file to pdf, similar to this thread
[MSA "Cancel login" functionality;

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.

Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.

Bookmark a PDF document to hyperlink to a Word doc-need rush help

Using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and Word 2002 (SP3), what I was trying to do is with a bookmark in a PDF document be able to hyperlink it to a Word document so that when I clicked on it in the Word document it would open to the bookmarked section in the PDF document.
Anyone know exactly how to do this? If so can you please set out your reply in very basic, easy to follow steps.
A quick reply would be very much appreciated. Thanks for responding.

This does not seem related to Acrobat 3D specifically. I would
recommend posting in the Acrobat Windows forum.

How to import and make the content of the original PDF document editable and preserves the pdf appearance and retains existing fields and formatting in LiveCycle

Can someone tell me how I can see my content (artwork and text) after I import it into LiveCycle Designer ES4? I like to import and make the content of the original PDF document editable; preserves the pdf appearance and retains existing fields and formatting, then allow me to do the modifications and save it back into the original PDF document with changes. I have tried everything but still cannot see my content(artwork and Text) of my original PDF after importing it into LiveCycle. All I see are is a blank page with the formatting and layout of where my artwork and text should be. I like to see everything if possible so after I make my change I will know how it will look when I save it back into the PDF and open it in Acrobat Reader.

The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

May be there are some jar file I need to download or
any tools you used before? Thanks in advance... =)Hi All,
Thanks for your replies..I think i almost find the solution. I found 2 options to do this. They are :
1. Get Adobe Acrobat and it's SDK (has to buy)
2. Get OpenOffice 2.0.4 and it's SDK (opensource)
So, i do option 2. I install them in my system.then i call them from my ide. Then i follow the code from this link..

Thanx.. =)

How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it. I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way. Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only? I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
Thanks!

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

Make Sticky Notes Read-Only After Creation?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to make sticky notes read only after someone has created one?
I have a form that we want people to add comments to but we don't want anyone to be able to remove those comments. Possible?
Kristi Tost

Resolved it : in click event javascript
ADOBE_DATA.form.field.access = "readOnly";

1) Make the column read only without coding

Please guid eme how to make the column read only in the list without using the coding.
Vij

Basically, the answer is that you can't. There are ways to change a specific list view to make a column readonly by replacing the form with a custom DataView form. But that only applies to that view and since users can create their own views,
those views would have read/write access to the column if the user has read/write access to the item. SharePoint only supports security down to the item level out of the box and not down to the individual column level.

Make USB mount read only.

Hello again,
I am looking to make any USB mounted devices read only by default. Is there a way to do this in Leopard?

Greetings,
While you can make a USB device read only, you can't make a port read only. There are ways to disable a USB port, but that's about it.
You can also use a OS X Server and with it, you can deny access to the device, but to make it (the port) read only, I don't think that's possible with any OS. You could mark the internal hard drives read only, as well, but that would be a major pain.
I have hundreds of machines, and the open labs are the only ones I disallow the use of USB devices for security reasons, PeeCee or Mac. Using the OS X Server, we can apply restrictions, as I do with Active Directory for the PeeCees.
Cheers,

Converting a word Doc to a dynamic PDF

Unable to make Quantity Column Read-Only in PO Lines in R12 iProcurement

Hello Everyone,
My Requirement is if a PO is coming from a requisition and it has Requisition Number populated in PO Distribution, I want to make Quantity column Read only in the PO Lines. This column can be updated for all the lines in standard page by clicking Update button(which makes Quantity enterable).
I have tried following using SPEL Binding. But it seems SPEL Binding is not working as expected. I am pasting the code below :
I have created a Transient Attribute of Boolean Type in the VO and have placed it in SPEL Binding for the Quantity Bean. On click of Update button I am conditionally setting the transient VO attribute to False.
if(oapagecontext.getParameter("UpdateButton") != null){
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAViewObject vo=(OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("PoDistributionsMergeVO");
String x=(String)vo.first().getAttribute("OnlineReqNumber");
OAMessageTextInputBean msgTextBean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("QuantityOrdered");
Row row=vo.first();
if (x!=null) {
do{
row.setAttribute("QuantityRendered",Boolean.FALSE);
row=vo.next();
}while(row!=null);
Thanks in Advance,
Abhishek Mishra

Abhishek,
Your code seems pretty fine. There are few things
1) Post the Spell, which you have attached with the rendered property.
2) Had you initialized your VO (where your transient variable exists).
For a work around i would suggest you to create a new VO and create a transient variable. Now try the same using this VO.

Gyan
