How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!

How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

Hi All,
Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
Thanks & Regards,
Mukesh Agrawal

Hi,
As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
I think this might resolve you issue.

How to make saved IR available for all users

Hi,
I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
But they're only visible for developers.
How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
Does version 4.0 support this option ?
Thank you!

Hi
At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
>
One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
- flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND r.session_id IS NULL
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
I then built 2 screens:-
1) Publish Report Settings
This shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
- Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
2) Import Report Settings
This again shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
- Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
A few proviso's:-
a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
They will simply not come across into the repository.
c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
Ruud
>
To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.

How to make some fields mandatory for a custom screen we have added

Hi All,
Please let me know how can I make some fields mandatory through coding in PBO for only some fields of a screen.
Say if I have 4 fields in my screen(module pool not selection screen) i want to make mandatory 2 fields based on some conditions how to do this? I tried using screen-group but this will make mandatory all the fields of that screen mandatory.
I want only specific fields based on condition in run time.
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
         Try this ..
Assign the same group to those fields , say GRP
       in PAI
         IF <CONDITION>
            Loop at screen.
               if screen-group1 = 'GRP'.
                  screen-required = '1'.
                  modify screen.
               endif.
             endloop.
          ENDIF.

How to make Partial Trigger work for a SelectManyShuttle

Hi,
I'm developing a page for user role management. For each role, one or more menus could be assigned to it. We have 3 db table, Role, Menu and RoleMenu. RoleMenu is the intersection table.
At UI level, I placed one editable table on the top of a page, and put a SelectManyShuttle below the table.
I developed a backing bean for the SelectManyShuttle to get all menus and selectedMenus for the current row in the table.
The Shuttle can display selectedMenu for the first row of the Role table, but it can't update when I select another row. It seems the partial trigger is not working.
Below are the codes:
<af:selectManyShuttle value="#{ pageFlowScope.RoleManagementBean.selectedValues}"
                leadingDescShown="true" size="8"
                              trailingDescShown="true"
                              inlineStyle="background-color:transparent; width:100%;"
                                      binding="#{pageFlowScope.RoleManagementBean.menuSelectShuttle}">
                  <f:selectItems value="#{ pageFlowScope.RoleManagementBean.allItems}"/>
</af:selectManyShuttle>
* Implements the basic backing-bean mechanics to handle page with shuttle.
* By injecting managed properties into the properties of this bean
* you can setup the shuttle data binding declaratively.
public class RoleManagementBean {
    String beanName = "RoleManagementBean";

        this.menuSelectShuttle = menuSelectShuttle;
    public RichSelectManyShuttle getMenuSelectShuttle() {
        return menuSelectShuttle;
}I guess the partial trigger is not working because the binding of the shuttle is not relative to the binding of the role table.
any help will be appreciated!
thanks!

My problem is solved, after I removed the if statement at the backing bean getSelectedValues() method
public List getSelectedValues() {
    //    if (selectedValues == null || refreshSelectedList) {
   //         System.out.println("here");
            selectedValues =

How to diable only one field enabled and other fields disabled for one user group?

Hi,
I have a form contains many fields. A group of users can add items using that form.
As per the user requirement I have created a filtered view and that filtered view can be seen by some other sharepoint user group but as per their further requirement the new sharepoint user group is only allowed to update Remarks field. All other fields
should be disabled for them.
In my idea, I have to create multiple forms and in one of it except Remarks field all should be disabled but I am unable to assign multiple forms to a single list.
Or how to make Remarks field enable to this user group and for other admin user group all fields could be enabled.
Hope I have expressed my question correctly.
Any solution would be appreciated.

There is no Out of the Box way to set permissions on each column, primarily due to the performance impact. The following thread provides some options,

Found the reason for the problem. I think there's a bug in Flex that causes this. One of my formItem had an id="owner" and maybe flex has used this "owner" id somewhere internally. I changed the name and now all the comboboxes are working fine.

How to make a portlet unvisible for another(not Owners) Users?

Hi all,
I (Site-Owner) have create a little Portal-Site with any portlets.
I want to make one or two portlets(Admin-Area) unvisible for other users. But when I create a portlet as Site-Owner, then all another users can they see.
How to make a portlet unvisible for another users?

Leonid Pavlov

You can hide and show portlets of Web providers (OmniPortlet, Web Clipping, and Java portlets) on portal pages dynamically. This functionality is controlled by security managers. The PDK provides a number of security managers. For example:
o Group security manager: The group security manager makes the portlet appear to users who are members of a specified group, while hides the portlet for those who are not members.
o Authentication level security manager: You can use the authentication level security manager to control access to the portlets based on the users authentication level. For example you may hide the portlet from public users, but display it to authenticated users.
In addition to the security managers provided by the PDK, you can build your own security managers.
Although OmniPortlet and Web Clipping do not expose security managers through the user interface, you can apply them by editing their XML provider definition file.
For PL/SQL portlets you can use the is_runnable method to control whether the portlet is hidden or shown.

How to make the fields dynamic read only in live cycle designer

hi folks
I have created a form in Adove livecycle es. Some fields should be read only from the start. So i have set the property .access 'open'. In versions of Adobe 8 this works, but in the latest version it won't so i think it should be done via another solution. Does anybody know how?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

May be the below code may help.. It loops thru all the pages in the PDF form and make them protected. So the user can not change any value in the form.
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++)
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i, "field");
var nodesLength = oFields.length;
//set the access type to be protected for all fields
for (var j = 0; j < nodesLength; j++)
var oItem = oFields.item(j);
oItem.access = "protected";
Thanks

YES! How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK with 10.4

How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK in 10.4
After struggling for quite some time, I finally found a pretty simple way to make print quotas work.
First, I’ll tell you our setup. We have 3 different computer centers with a variety of eMacs and new Intel iMacs, all clients are running 10.4.8, and each of those 3 centers has its own HP Laserjet 4200 printer. Our dual G5 server is running Server v.10.4.8. Client computers and printers have static IP addresses. All clients are bound to the server with the standard WorkGroup Manager/ LDAPv3 Directory Access scheme - such that all students login to the clients with their network username/password to mount their home directory on the client.
Next, I’ll tell you what does not work. IF YOU WANT PRINT QUOTAS TO WORK, you cannot use Workgroup Manager to assign a printer to any managed user account, user group, or computer group. Why? Because when you go to a client, and Show Info on the printer that is being pushed by Workgroup Manager, you’ll see that the queue name is not the queue that you’ve setup in Server Admin. Instead, you’ll see the queue name is “MCX” or something along those lines. Even if you manually edit the Workgroup print preference file that is being pushed to clients, it still will not work.
Drawbacks of my technique: In my case, students will see all 3 printers (1 from each lab) available to them no matter which lab they are in. Not the best, but for now I think it’ll be worth it to be able to control wasteful printing. Students may be able to move/delete the preference file (see below), but they’ll only be hurting themselves, as they won’t have any printers at all then.
Okay, here’s how I did it:
1. If you have setup any printers to be pushed out via Workgroup Manager’s preference enforcement to individual users, usergroups, or computer groups, turn those preferences off and leave them off.
2. Delete any existing printers in your Printer Setup Utility and/or Server Admin. Add and setup a new printer queue using the Server Admin> Print service. I added the printer through the Server Admin application, not Printer Setup Utility (may not matter). However, I did go into that latter utility to set the model of the printer. Now, back in Server Admin, edit the printer queue to turn on these services IPP, LPR (bonjour off), and of course check off the enforce quotas box. (No student Windows clients, so I didn’t tinker with SMB print service). I went ahead and specified the standard cover sheet – it will be handy while troubleshooting.
3. In Workgroup Manager, select the users that you want to enforce quotas upon, go to the Printer Quota tab (not the preference pane) and, in my case, I selected All Queues and specified a quota, and clicked Save.
4. Delete all printers that appear in the Printer Setup Utility from each client computer (I know, UGH).
5. For all network users, you need to edit a preference file and put it into each user’s home directory. That file is “com.apple.print.favorites.plist” and as you guessed, it needs to go into the Library> Preferences folder of every one of your network users’ home directories. Now, the content of that file is crucial… what it should show is the name of the queue(s) you created in Server Admin above, and be immediately followed by an “@” and the address of the server that is hosting that queue. For example, my queue’s name is TCStudentQ and the server’s address is student.mydomain.org… so my preference file has this entry: [email protected]. If you have more than one queue, you’ll have more entries. Be sure that the network user has at least Read level access under Group or Others. I’d recommend making the server System account the Owner of the file, and be sure to lock the file so the users can’t easily trash it. If you don’t know how to create this file in the first place, what you can do is go to a client computer, and log into the client with a dummy network account. Then open Printer Setup Utility, and you should see the queue you created in step 2. Add that printer, and then the file will be created in your dummy account’s home directory under Library> Preferences. Now you can use that file to distribute to other user’s folders… but don’t forget that each user needs Read level access.
6. That’s it. Works for me. When they exceed the quota, all that spits out is the cover page. It’d be nice if there was a quota monitor utility on the client side so users can see how many pages they have remaining and when the quota will automatically reset. I plan to start the quota on a Monday morning and go on a weekly duration. Not sure what a good starting point is… perhaps 25 pages every school week.
7. Hey Apple Computer, Inc. Server Developers & Project Managers, I truly hope you’re reading this and can explain why print quotas don’t function as you have documented and advertised. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve spent way too much time discovering this workaround, and I know it will help thousands of others with the same problem. I can see where your Print Quota system breaks down, and I think you need to fix these issues or at least document them. Don’t forget to fix serious 10.4 Server bugs before leaving it behind for 10.5 Server – many of us will continue using 10.4 Server for at least another year or two.

David,
Your assumption that I didn't read the documentation is incorrect. I read that 10.4 documentation over and over - followed it to the letter to no avail. Perhaps it was updated in the last few weeks? So, do you have a fully operable printer quota system in conjunction with a managed computer or user group that has a managed printer pushed to the group via Workgroup Manager? I can push a managed printer to a managed group without a problem, but the quotas won't be enforced unless I use the workaround above and cut Workgroup Manager's managed/pushed printer out of the picture.
I know this is a user-to-user forum - however, I'm also aware that Apple tech support often chime in here, so it doesn't hurt to post a message to them in the context of a larger posting about a 'known issue'. I have used the server feedback form... hasn't seemed to me to be very helpful in the past.
