Document revision checking

I'm the author of many PDF documents used throughout my company. These PDF's are centrally located on a web server and employees typically DL them and store them on their PC's for later use. Unfortunately these PDF's often change and there's no way of knowing if you have the latest revision unless you go back to the web server. Is there a way to have a PDF check it's revision against the master PDF on the web server whenever it's opened and alert the viewer when a new version exists?

You will need to write a document level JavaScript to open the web based PDF and comparing the docID[0] property of each PDF or add a custom meta data field with a version ID. Of course the stored documents will not have the script needed to perform this task.
The docID is only available with version 6.0 on.

Content Server - get content of document being checked in

Hi,
Is is possible to get the content of the document being checked-in via Java? Assuming I want to have a component which performs some action on the document being checked in, before this document is checked in. Is there some way to read the content of the document?

Hi Jiri,
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. From what I understand I just need to get the path to the document and then open it via Java. I believe sth like this does the trick:
String docPath = binder.get("primaryFile:path");
From my understanding there is this "vault" folder which holds the content server's files, revisions, temp files etc... Using the above code should work ok, but I understood that the CS can be told to save its files into some data base instead of the "vault" folder, in which case the above code won't be useful...
I assume in this case reading the document is done in some other way...
So, should I conclude that there is no general/abstract way of reading the document being checked-in which doesn't take into consideration the underlying structure which keeps the CS's files(vault or DB)?
Thanks,
V

How can I disable or turn off Document Revisions (revisiond)?, How can I disable or turn off Document Revisions (revisiond)?

Hi,
Today I upgraded my MBP-15 from Snow Leopard to Lion. Is there any way to disable or turn off Document Revisions (revisiond). Thanks.

1. Use apps that don't take advantage of the feature - that's most right now.
2. Ignore it. It's entirely invisble to the user.

You can check-in document in the ItemAdded event
Example:
namespace MultipleFileUpload.MultipleItemsAdded
/// <summary>
/// List Item Events
/// </summary>
public class MultipleItemsAdded : SPItemEventReceiver
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
private Guid siteID;
private SPFile file;
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
siteID = properties.SiteId;
file = properties.ListItem.File;
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteID))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
base.ItemAdding(properties);
SPListItem oItem = properties.ListItem;
oItem["Title"] = "Please add a title.";
oItem["Description"] = "Please add a description.";
oItem.Update();
if (file.CheckOutType != SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None)
file.CheckIn("Automatic Check In");

What is "Document Revision Text" ?

Hello all,
I just came across the term, "Document Revision Text" in UPK. Would appreciate if somebody can explain what it means!
Also, where do we set "Document Revision Text" in UPK ?
Thanks a lot !!

i believe so. i think the current situation is that iTunes 7.0.0.70 supports burning CD Text (so you should be able to see track information on other PCs from yours with burned CDs). but i don't think "reading" CD text is supported yet.
... i can't find documentation on this though. so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on this document, to see if any more info comes through (via the Apple Knowledge Base) over the next couple of weeks:

Easy Document Management - Check In of documents question

Hello everyone,
I am dealing with Easy DM 6.00, SP12 and I have one specific request from my customer. My customer still doesn't have content server implemented, and he would like to learn and use Easy DM. Since it is not a good idea to check in large quantities of documents to DMS_C1_st storage location, we were thinking about one slightly different solution.
We would like to set up Easy DM to work in the following way: When "drag-and-drop" function is used, we don't want to check in document. We just want to create a link to the original file on local computer (in our client's case to their shared folders).
Is it possible to change some settings, so that this happens automatically when creating a new document through Easy DM?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Karlo

Thanks for answer Athol.
The problem is that my client doesn't want just to use it for testing purposes. He wants to use it for some time until he implements content server.
Since they are working with CAD drawings, their files can be fairly big, and their SAP database could be full of documents in a very short time - which would have for consequence slowing down the SAP system.
So, we need to turn on this functionality somehow.

Reverse document for check voided with FCH9

I voided a manual check that was created by using FCH9. I want to be able to reverse the document, but when I tried to reverse, I got an error that the document was already cleared and could not be reversed. Is there a way to reverse the payment document?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
If no other new check has been issued for the payment document in FCHN, than you have to use FBRA to reverse the payment document. You should use the option reverse and reset

Pdf documents show checked background in safari

When I open a PDF document in Safari the background shows as grey and white checks rather than white, how do I fix this

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Document authorization check

Hello,
Is there a BAPI call, that being given a pair 'user name' + 'document number' will say whether the user is authorized for at least read access?

Well, let say I have a document in that is visible with use of CV04N transaction.
Clearly, when smb. tries to access (i.e. display) the document, SAP performs some authorization object checks:
C_DRAW_BGR
C_DRAW_TCD
and so on, basing on the profile of that user.
Also probably ACLs are checked if assigned any (in EasyDMS terminology).
So my desire is know whether there is a way to perform these checks remotely via BAPI call - passing a user and a document in question.
Please tell me if I can provide more details on my aim.

Document Printing -Checks to be printed

After printing checks, it is automatically confirming all checks. Is there a setting for this?? We want to be able to confirm or set as damaged.

When a check has been printed, it should be confirmed by default. That is logical. Unless you manually reject it as damaged, I don't see any benefit that user should control this process. As for the setting, the only available ones are under Print Preference - Per Document - Check for Payment.
Thanks,
Gordon

Workflow to send a notification when a document is checked in

I created some List Approval Workflows using SharePoint Designer 2010. I want to send an email out as soon as the user check in a document before uploading it into the Document Library. Can I do that in Designer 2010?
Thanks!
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
When a document is uploaded into the document library, the first action is the upload. Then if you have enabled Check-in/check-out on that library then user has to check-in the document for other's to see. It is not other way around. Even before you enter
the metadata for the document, the document is uploaded to the library. So are you looking to send email when the document is uploaded or when it is checked-in?
