Generating 508 compliant output for access via SharePoint

In order to make our WebHelp application accessible via a Sharepoint folder, our team lead was able to move all output files (from the ISSL/WebHelp folder) to a single folder then move the files from the resource, whdata, whgdata and whxdata folders to the same [new] location so that all files associated with the RoboHelp WebHelp project are in the same area. Next, he edited the whproj.xml file and changed the datapath from "whxdata" to " " (null). This works fine for primary layout output that isn't 508 compliant, so I duplicated the same steps after generating 508 compliant output to see if I'd get the same results. After moving all files to a single folder and uploading to a test server (not Sharepoint), the table of contents page [frame] "can't be found". I know that the toc tag in the whtoc.xml file has a root attribute that points to "whtdata0.xml". This file is in the same folder as everything else. So why does it not show the TOC?
Thanks,

Perhaps the best way to answer this is to ask what your response would be if your support people came along to you saying a customer didn't like the structure of the folders in your application so they had rearranged them and now it would no longer work, what should they do?
Perhaps best not to post the reply here.
The folders and files that RoboHelp generates have many inter-dependencies and it could be some are in files you cannot edit. Who knows? It is not something Adobe would document and I have not seen anyone post anything that would help you.

Using mathscript to generate multiple digital outputs for switch control

Hello
I am new to this NI LV and a have kind of a basic question. I would like to use Mathscript to generate an array of bolean numbers which will be used to control the Digital I/O lines. I am using NI 6251 USB device and the Mathscript code runs well. But I have a problem using this array to control the Digital output. So I created a simple test programme where I set the DAQ assitant to generate 4 digital outputs(P0.0 ~ P0.3) and it gives error that ".. number of channels in the data does not match the number of channels in the task..." (see attachment) . How can I solve this problem thank you.

Creating 508-Compliant InDesign PDFs for Accessibility

Over the next few weeks my company will be reformatting all of the attachments on our Web site to meet "508" complaince standards for accessibility (a govenment contract requirement). While we are quickly getting a handle on how to create 508-compliant PDFs from MS Word and other MS Office documents, I keep running into problems when converting our InDesign documents. Our InDesign documents (often education posters) are usually more complex than the other standard documents created in Word, which is why we used InDesign to create them in the first place, but I'm having difficulty finding supporting documentation that is detailed enough to help me problem-solve the 508 issues I encounter. Adobe has some basic InDesign "accessibility" information on its Web site, and it offers a document called "Creating Accessible PDF Documents with With Adobe InDesign CS4" that offers a good introduction to the concepts and process. But I just can't seem to find information that is in-depth enough to help me create or modify InDesign documents that don't require endless hours of hit-or-miss fixing in Acrobat. I've checked standard third-party references such as my Acrobat and InDesign "Bibles," but no one seems to go into great depth on using the more detailed screens and options related to creating accessible documents. Are there other resources out there that can help? There must be an Indesign Accessibility Guru hiding somewhere (inaccessible!).

Usually there aren't too many responses to questions about creating accessible files because it's a fairly specialized area. I only know about it in a superficial way.
Chad Chelius has created a Lynda.com video which has the best information I've seen about the subject:

RH10 WebHelp includes special characters in 508 compliant search

I am converting a RoboHelp 5 WebHelp project to RoboHelp 10 WebHelp and the project uses 508 compliant output. When I click on the search tab I see special characters like $, %, !, #, etc. showing up as search words. I have tried adding the characters to the Stop Words list and generating the output again but the special characters still show up. Is there a way to suppress these characters from showing up in search? The characters do not show up in the RoboHelp 5 508 output. I am using IE8.

Hi there
Section 508 deals with accessibility. This means screen readers for blind or visually impaired individuals. They mouse over areas and the screen reader reads back to them what the mouse is hovering. So instead of a field where you type, they navigate search in a different manner. By clicking links that eventually lead to the term.
Cheers... Rick

Web-Crawler Compliant output from Robohelp 11

We are using RoboHelp 9 to generate our online document library in webhelp format, and are trying to get this searchable from 3rd party search engines (Google CSE or Swiftype) . However, we found that the webcrawlers can't get any pages back from our site, and this seems to be related to the frames used in the webhelp html. I've seen comments from people who think that non-frame based HTML 5 would solve our problems and have been evaluating both Flare 10 and RoboHelp 11, and generating output in Responsive HTML5, to see if this works.
So far we've had no luck with this. We've even tried generating a sitemap.xml, which in theory solves all our problems but web-crawlers don't pick up anything from this either.
Anybody been down this route and got any ideas ?

Search engines will automatically only pickup all content when you create pure HTML WebHelp or 508 compliant output. For all other outputs, you need to provide a sitemap. This is also true for Responsive HTML5.
Just creating a sitemap is not enough, as you also need to register the sitemap with the search engine. It won't pick up the site map automatically. All major search engines have detailed instructions on how to submit site maps.
I have a script to generate site maps for help (Sitemap generator | WvanWeelden.eu) - commercial script - and I post those site maps to search engines.
Kind regards,
Willam

403 Forbidden Error while trying to access External SharePoint site Via Client Object Model

Hi,
I am accessing the External SharePoint site from an intranet. When I try to access local sharepoint site in my intranet via Client object model to upload few documents into a library, it works perfectly fine without any issues.
But when I try to do the same (upload few docs ) to an external SharePoint 2010 site out of my intranet from my intranet, I get 403, forbidden error. It looks like there is some issue with login credentials of this site. But when I try to navigate to the
site URL in Visual studio 2010, it asks for credentials and takes me to home page.
I supplied the credentials in different forms like
ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
and
clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.FormsAuthentication;
and
FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo formsAuthInfo = new FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo("MyUser", "MyPassword");
clientContext.FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo = formsAuthInfo;
but nothing seems working and I get the Same 403 error. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
K.V.N.PAVAN

Hi Pal,
Thanks for posting your query, Just try to add credentials to your clientContext object as mentioned below
NetworkCredential credentials =
new NetworkCredential("username", "pwd", "domain");
clientContext .Credentials = credentials;
or use
clientContext.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
I hope this will be helpful to you, If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

Needs Manual Verification by User for 508 Compliant Docs

Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
I'm making a document 508 compliant using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and everything runs smoohtly, except it won't become compliant, because of this message in the summery report.
Does anyone know how I can fix that?
Thanks!

When you have the Accessibility Full Check dialog open & have selected the Section 508 checking option you'll observe the (a) through (p).
These correspond the paragraphs in 1194.22 (which, in turn, have a correlation to WCAG 1.0).
What needs manual verification will depend on which paragraph the comment is associated with.
Reference: https://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?fuseAction=stdsdoc#Web
In all cases (c) will have "Needs manual verification by user".
For (c), the requirement is that all information conveyed with color is also available without color.
Only a "warm body" can do this; hence, "Needs manual verification...".
You may find Duff Johnson's article "How Section 508 applies to PDF" useful.
http://www.appligent.com/talkingpdf-howsection508appliestopdf
An additional observation — A "pass" from Full Checker (using both "Adobe PDF" & "Section 508..." does not mean you've an Accessible PDF (S508 compliant &/or usable). One example would be the Scope of table header cells (Row | Column | Both | None) and Table Summary. Neither are evaluated.
You'll have to provide the appropriate value for Scope and provide the text for the Table Summary.
After using Full Checker you will need to "walk" the structure tree in the Tags panel (with the Highlight option selected) to look for possible issues.
Are any lists present properly tagged?
Are Headings properly used?
Do the various chunks of content have the correct PDF Tag?
Tags inappropriately used can really goober the PDF.
As always, proper mastering in the authoring file results in minimizing remediation activity with Acrobat Pro in the requisite post-processing.
Be well...

Unable to generate XLS output for Quoting Module

We are using XML Publisher to generate Quote report. We need the output in XLS (Excel) format but it generates only PDF.
We debugged the following files:
qotSCopOverview.jsp
qotSCocPrint.jsp
qotSCopPrint.jsp
jtfcrmchrome.jsp
oracle.apps.aso.print.webui.MainCO.class
We have set DES_FORMAT to XLS instead of PDF, however it is not generating XLS but the output is PDF only.
We would like to know the exact JAVA/JSP file which calls XML Publisher engine, so that we could directly change the FORMAT parameter.
Kindly let us know whether it is possible to generate XLS in this way. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
SURESH KUMAR M R

Finally we found the solution for this problem.
1. Open qotSCocPrint.jsp and add below line inside <SELECT id="qotOutFrmt" name="qotOutFrmt"> statement. This line should be added after "for" loop.
<OPTION value="EXCEL">Excel Format</option>
We can add as many options the XML Publisher supports.
2. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.webui.MainCO.class (Controller).
Change the below line
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
to
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/"+quoteOutputFormat.toLowerCase());
Take a backup of the original file, compile the java in the same directory.
3. Decompile oracle.apps.aso.print.server.PrintQuoteAMImpl.class and change this line
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField("OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF");
to
String outputFormat="OUTPUT_TYPE"+as[12].trim();
Field field = class2.getDeclaredField(outputFormat);
Bounce Apache and generate the Quote output in desired format.

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

Advice needed for provider hosted web application - authentication and access to SharePoint document library

I haven't done SharePoint 2013 development with claims so I apologize in advance if my assumptions and questions are way out in left field.
I'm trying to understand SharePoint 2013 claims authentication for a scenario that involves:
A SharePoint provided hosted (web forms) app that will pull information and assets (e.g. PDFs) from SharePoint into the web page.
It will be a VS 2012 solution with asp.net.identity feature.
Security will be set for internal users, federated external users and forms-based external users. Based on their security and (claim type) role it will define what information and assets that can be retrieved from SharePoint
I have looked through MSDN and other sources to understand.
This one helped with my understanding
Federated Identity for Web Applications and assumed that the general concept could be applied to forms-based identity for non-Federated external users .
What I have now:
VS 2012 solution web forms application set to Provider Host with asp.net.identity feature and its required membership tables.
I can create new users and associate claims to the new user.
I can log in with a user from the membership tables and it will take me to a default.aspx page. I have added code to it that displays the claims associated to a user.
For POC purposes I'd like to retrieve documents that are associated to this user from the default.aspx page.
This is where I am having trouble understanding: Is my understand correct?
Internal users
since they are internal on the network i am assuming that they would already have access to SharePoint and they would already be configured to what documents that they have available to them.
Federated external users & Forms authentication external users
it seems to me that the authentication for external users are separate from SharePoint authentication process.
changes to the configuration settings are necessary in SharePoint, IIS, web application.
I believe this is what i read.
claims processes (e.g. mappings) need to be set up in SharePoint
as long as external users are authenticated then things are ok b/c they would have claims associated to the user and the configuration in SharePoint takes are of the rest.
This statement bothers me because I think it's wrong.
So basically i'm stuck with if my understanding is correct: once a user is authenticated either by federated identity or asp.net.identity authentication that it should go to the provider hosted default.aspx page because the claim is authenticated and means
that it should have access to it and the SharePoint document library based on some claim property. I could then write the calls to retrieve from a document library and SharePoint will know based on some claim property that the logged in user can only
access certain documents.
It just sounds too good to be true and that i'm missing something in the thought process.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read.
greenwasabi

Hi GreenWasabi,
i agree this is an interesting topic to discuss,
as you can check from the article, you may check this example from the codeplex:http://claimsid.codeplex.com/
when i thinking regarding this topic, its looks like an environment with multiple of realms,
from what you understand, its correct that all the authentication is based from the provider, so for example i have a windows live ID and internal ID, then when i login windows live ID, it will be authenticated using windows live ID server.
here is the example for the webservice:
http://claimsid.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Federated%20Identity%20for%20Web%20Services&referringTitle=Home
as i know, if you using this federated, i am not quite sure that you will need to go to the provider page literally, perhaps you can check this example if we are using azure:
