How to prevent users from saving data in pdf

I have created several new pdfs for my communications center and would like to know how I can have these documents to be filled out but not have the info saved by the users?  I dont want the original document to be lost because someone accidentally saved the info they were inputing into it.  The forms I have created already have a print button at the top right corner so that is all I want the users to be able to do, fill it out, print it out, then close out original document without saving.

You can't prevent it absolutely, but there are some things you can try to minimize the problem, such as:
1. Provide a reset form button that the user can click to clear all of the fields, either with a Reset Form action or the resetForm JavaScript method.
2. Reset the form using JavaScript in the Document Will Save event.
3. Have the users set the file to read-only in the file system.

  • How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

    Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
    I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

    You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

  • How to prevent user from saving file on local drives

    Hi,
       We have a file server set up on a Windows 2003 Server. Is there any way to restrict users so that they can only open and view the file but they can't save it on their local drives? If not, can this be done with Windows 2008 or 2012 or any Linux
    server or any document management software?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    If you can open the file from a client then generally there is not much you can do to prevent them saving it locally. Unless you restrict the clients access to save anything at all on their local hard drive which depending of the security requirements of
    the data you are accessing could be a valid option.
    Depending how critical / sensitive that information you could look at alternate method of accessing that file. In my experience securing important / secret data comes down to access procedures just as much if not more than technical solutions.
    Maybe restrict access to that file to a handful of trusted users who can then inform the "untrusted" users of any information they need.
    Like I say this is a procedural issue as much as anything else.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

    Hi,
    We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
    I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
    To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
    UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE  INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
    In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
    Parameter Name: bne:import
    Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
    Data Type: Boolean
    Category: Field
    Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
    Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
    Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
    Display Options: Enabled: Checked
    Display Options: Required: Checked
    Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
    Display Type: Check Box
    Maximun Size: 100
    Display Size:100
    Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI. 

    Hi ,
    Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

  • Prevent Users From Saving PDF?

    I have created a PDF that has confidential information in it.  I do not want to give users the option of being able to save the PDF to their computer.  Is there a security setting to prevent viewers from saving a PDF?

    No, that's technically impossible. If you want them to be able to see it,
    the file must first be saved on the local machine.

  • CE10 how to prevent user from view hostrical instance

    hi,
    We are currently using CE10. One of our user used search functionality in enterprise to search for reports start with 'employee' and it came  back with all the crystal reports on the server that  started with employees, even the one the user doesn't have access to.  My greatest concern about this is that users can view historical instance and it is sensitive data.  Does anybody know whether or not this is a bug in CE10?  Is there a patch/fix for this?  Is there any configuration change that I can make to
    prevent users from being able search all the reports on the server rather just their own reports?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    hi,
    I have an EVERYONE group with limited access(view object), and EVERYONE group is added to each folder with NO ACCESS.  If I revoke view object(explicitly denied) privilege from EVERYONE group, do I still need to remove EVERYONE group from each folder?  When I'm at folder level in CMC, I see EVERYONE GROUP added, but when I tried to remove the EVERYONE GROUP, the EVERYONE group is not an option for removal.  What am I missing?
    Thanks for your help!

    Their schema has only connect and resource roles. Is there a way to prevent them from creating jobs? In 11g it's the CREATE JOB permission, but in 10g i'm not sure how can i do this.
    Thanks for any ideas!

    On 10g it's probably the CREATE JOB as well.

  • How to restrict users from saving a transaction in PCUI

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on a requirement where in I have to restrict the user from saving a followup up transaction if an order already exists for the same,in PCUI.I am able to display the error message in the PCUI screen but unable to restrict the user from saving the transaction.
    I have implemented the CRM_COPY_BADI ,copy method to check the item copy and populating the message from there...The requirement is fulfilled in GUI by giving a abandon message which restricts the user from saving the transaction.but in PCUI the abandon message is not working..So is there any way to deactivate the save button for a particular transaction in PCUI and this is to be done from within the CRM_COPY_BADI..
    I would sincerely appreciate any help provided on the issue..

    We can do this by populating an error message in the Application log

  • How to prevent user from deactivating the adobe software

    I am working in a training center, We've got 20 machines here installed with Adobe CS3 production premium (not using network license). The problem now i foresee is the software deactivate problem, i found user can deactivate the adobe software even they dont have XP administrator rights.
    And what i know about activation of adobe software is that there is a limit of activation count of 30 tries and after that i have to call the adobe technical support for help.
    Is there any way that i can prevent user from deactivating the software in terms of registry modification or what other kinds of method.
    Thanks
    Ivan

    If you have 20 machines I assume you have a volume license, which does not require de/activation anyway.
    If you have 20 separate licences... well, the only thing I can think of is to block the Adobe Activation domains of adobe.com through the firewall of your network. You should probably contact Adobe directly for more specific info.

  • How to prevent users from creating transactional problems?

    Dear Sirs...
    Using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and ADF UIX technology. If i created a web application that contains many pages. Assume the application contains pages A,B,C,D.
    The end user should access the pages A then B then C then D to get the transaction executed and commited correctly.
    the problem is:
    1- if a user navigates from A to B to C then he press the Back button to A then he commits the transaction, the data would be stored in correctly.
    2- if page C requires some preparations in page B (initalization of session variables) and the user enters page A then he changes the URL to C, then this would cause inproper execution of application and so the data would be stored incorrectly.
    so how can i prevent the user from pressing the back button of the browser (which i do not think is possible) or how can i prevent him from making any errors by inproper page navigation?
    thanks for any help in advance and best regards

    I really don't know if this is the correct way of doing it, but we prevent navigation directly to any page within our application if the HTTP Referer header is null. If it's null, we redirect to a page that says the user should use the navigation buttons provided and not enter the page via bookmarks, history, or direct navigation via a typed in URL.

  • How to prevent users from entering '+' or '0' in front of country code in the phone number field?

    Requirement:
    How can I prevent guest users from entering '+' sign or '0' in front of country-code in the visitor phone number field during self registration?
    Few SMS service providers are not looking for '+' sign or '0' or '00' in front of the international phone numbers to trigger the sms. Providing these values in front of country code during self-registration may fail to deliver the sms to recipient.
    Solution:
    Using a simple regular expression, you can validate the entered phone number during the guest registration. 
    The below regular expression will help you to validate the phone number and allows to register only  when the phone number is not staring with '+' or '0'. 
    ^[1-9][0-9](\d{7}|\d{8}|\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11}|\d{12})$
    It also performs the below validations.
    only numbers are allowed.
    first digit of the entered phone number should be 1 to 9, so '+' or '0' is not allowed. 
    numbers from 0 to 9 are allowed from the second digit.
    also validates phone number length, the length of the phone number should be 9 to 14.
    Configuration:
    To add the above regex in the visitor_phone number filed, please navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> (Pages)Guest Self-Registration >> select the self-registration page and go to Edit >> Register Page >> Form >>  select the filed visitor_phone and set the Validator to " ISRegexMatch" and enter the above regex in the Validator Argument filed as shown below.
    Note:  Edit the Validation Error as per your requirement.
    Verification
    Adding the given regex will validate the phone number and prevent the guest user from registering the phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
    Please find below the sample outputs for your reference.
    Result when phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
    Successful registration.

  • How to prevent user to enter data in "Date/Time Field"?

    Hi folks,
         Back after long time to the forums, where I get answers which are helpful in making me good at utilizing designer.
         I am trying to validate the "Date/Time Field" using JavaScript but couldn't get a proper RegEx expression for various invalid user input formats. If anyone can help me out in finding a proper script that would Great.
         My script grown bigger and bigger to accepting invalid dates, but felt like hardcoding. So, instead I decided why can't we prevent a user to enter data into "Date/Time Field" and use only calendar dropdown. Is there is a way to do this?
    find my sample testing docment
    https://acrobat.com/#d=mYXkrhO2txuEesCfmvxNXg
    Thanks in Advance,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    I don't think there is a way of stopping the user from using the keyboard to enter a date.  You can use the following script in the change event to stop them typing a date but they will still be able to paste a date in.
    if (xfa.event.change.length === 1)
    xfa.event.change = "";
    This code works because if the date is selected from the calendar dropdown then the date xfa.event.change value will be the whole date and therefore longer than one character.
    I couldn't access your sample but if you were to set an display picture for the date field to something other than date{YYYY-MM-DD} then a valid date will have a formattedValue that is different than the rawValue.

  • How to prevent user from selecting a specific printer?

    Hi there
    I have a MailFolder which has an ArrayList of Email objects inside it. Each MailFolder has an attribute called folderFile which is a reference to a folder in the operating system. Each Email has an attribute called parentFile which is a reference to a file in the operating system.
    Now, I am trying to put printing into my application.
    When I print using a normal printer like my HP Deskjet or the likes - an actual physical printer - everything works fine. But when I print using the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, things go wierd. The following things happen;
    I call myMailFolder.getFolderFile().exists() and this = false. But if I (in the debugger) make a new file pointing to the same path, .exists() = true. Also if I look in the OS, the file exists. So somehow in the job.print() this Document Image writer seems to be messing up this file reference. The same thing happens to the myEmail.getParentFile().
    So to fix this, can anyone tell me how to prevent the user from selecting this printer, or can anyone tell me why this is happening only with the Document Image Writer?
    Many thanks!
    Rachel

    I have similar problem with our printing program. I am printing Java Tables, zoom in every column in a landscape page accross multiple pages.
    There are two fatal problems:
    1. On Dell Latitude laptop, the HP5100 printer didn't work; I have to change the code to draw the table header with 2D graphics.
    2. Crash when printing on MS document image writer, but on some computers
    it works perfectly.
    Any one have a good solution/same result for topic 2?
