Information in Bi Publisher PDF Properties

Is is possible to have audit information in the properties of the pdf that specifies the authenticity of the document (date of creation, no modifications, date of modifications ...) for legal requirements?
Regards
Sarah

Not sure what version you are on, but later versions of BIP standalone support the addition of a digital signature to your PDF output. Check the user docs for details.

  • Published pdf form is unable to connect with database

    Hi Guys!
    I have created a PDF form using Adobe Live Cycle Designer which have some text fields namely RECORD and NAME. I have connected this form with a Database. When I enter a record in the RECORD number field the NAME field of this form has been populated with the help of XFA Script which is written on the exit event of the RECORD text field. When we publish this form, a new interactive PDF is created which works fine and populates the NAME field from the an SQL database but when I access this PDF form (which is located on a shared location) from some another location (not on the same machine where i designed this form) it is unable to connect to the database and does not work as expected.
    I think there is some thing i am missing for the database connectivity.
    If any body on this forum can help me out.
    thanks
    Here is the Script for the above form which i used to populate the NAME FIELD on the basis of enetered RECORD number.
    ----- Document.Page1.txt_MRN::exit: - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
    /* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection.
    sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from.  Note the data connection will appear in the Data View.
    sColHiddenValue  - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown.  Specify the table column name used for populating.
    sColDisplayText  - this is the display text column of the dropdown.  Specify the table column name used for populating.
    These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly.  Replace <value> with the correct value.
    var sDataConnectionName = "DataSource";  // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection";
    var sColHiddenValue  = "RecordNum";   // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue";
    var sColDisplayText  = "Name";   // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription"
    // Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name
    var nIndex = 0;
    while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName)
    nIndex++;
    //var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex);
    var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1);

    var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction");
    oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction");
    oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction");
    // Clear the list
    this.clearItems();

      txt_LastName.rawValue = oTextNode.value;
      found = 1;

    oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction");
    // Close connection
    oDB.close();

    Finally achived the database connectivity for the published pdf form developed in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
    There must be the same driver version of the DSN on both machines. The machine which published the form and the one accessing it.
    Use the Admin account to add the DSN on both machines.
    Get rid of the error: Connection for Source "DataConnectionName" failed because the environment is not trusted.
    Thanks

  • How to disable 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDF in Acrobat X on Mac?

    How do I disable the function that causes the 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDFs in Acrobat X? I'm using OS X 10.9.4 on a Mac?
    I've searched online and was directed to Preferences>>Security (enhanced) to uncheck 'Unable Enhanced Security', but it wasn't checked.
    This box (see screen shot) opens each time I close a PDF. I'm forced to select an option before closing.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Go to the menu Acrobat>Preferences
    In the Preferences window's "Categories" pane, select "Document"
    In the "Hidden Information" section deselect both check boxes
    Click the OK button
    You should be good now.

  • Adobe PDF Properties

    I am having an issue with the Properties that need to be set at installtion of Acrobat Adobe 7 Standard. I install this package via SMS Server and use Microsoft SMS Installer. When Acrobat installs the Paper available setting under the General Tab and the For to Tray Assignment under the Device Settings always defaults to LETTER size. I deliver to 1500+ computers and need to have the Default set to A4 size.
    I run the following registry key changes but these do not seem to do the trick:
    (1)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser] with value set to
    "Adobe PDF"=(then the proper hex:# for A4). I know the hex number is correct because LETTER changes to A4.
    (2)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModes2] value set to "Adobe PDF"=hex:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF] value set to "Default DevMode"=hex:
    (3)[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\DsDriver] values set to "printMediaReady"=hex(7):41,00,34,00,00,00,00,00 and "TrayFormTable"=hex:
    (4)[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData] value set to "TrayFormTable"=hex:

    I have run the regestry change right after the installation and have run it also after the reboot of the installation. The registry changes shoe Aç but the actual properties in the reference above remain LETTER size. Would someone be so kind as to explain just where I am going wrong?

    you can modify the language setting with a workaround in Acrobat.

  • PDF Properties/Document Protection/Security/show details. List differs from Document Restriction Summary.

    Hello
    I have a number of PDFs that have user permissions.  When the files are opened in Adobe Reader the document's restriction summary lists differ and the form cannot be used as intended.
    Example  Open PDF Properties /Document Protection/ Security/ Show Details                                                    Properties/ Document Restriction/Security/Summary (I have changed
                                                                                                                                                                         the order to make easier for comparison.)
    Doc. Open Password         NO                                                                                                                                   
    Permissions Pass Word    YES

    Template                           NOT SPECIFIED................................................................................ .............................................NOT ALLOWED.
    I am mystified why the two lists differ and the document when in use seems to be controlled by the list on the right, which takes away some of the user rights.
    Is there an explanation for this. I would have thought that as the documents were password protected for permissions such as commenting and signing Adobe Reader could not change this.
    Eric.

    Yes, thats right. I used Open Office 3 to generate the pdf. I have also tried using pdftk and Adobe Distiller 5 with the same result.
    Your statement implies, the 'Adobe Reader' features cannot be fully utilized without a valid Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    This is a document to which I have the source. I have been able to create the pdf with the required set of permissions based on standards. But I am being hassled because I didn't generate it with Adobe Pro! Well, I suppose this must have been a business decision, but its one thats standards contrary and morally low!
    Adobe just lost an avid Reader user. I shall circulate my findings within my work and social circles. Thanks to competition and open source, I am sure to find a standards compliant reader without much delay.
    Thanks for your help - graffiti

  • Windows 7 doesn't display pdf properties

    Windows 7 doesn't display pdf properties/metadata, like title, comments, author, subject etc. This was a great feature in XP. Anybody know a workaround?

    On this site is explained how to display the pdf properties in windows 7 explorer.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7files/thread/203b60ca-b773-4931-85ad-a5 e67656d6ce
    steps:
    open the file explorer in windows7
    select libraries from the left navigation bar
    right click on the libraries heading.
    select "new" > "library"
    give the library a name e.g. "sales orders".
    press the button "include new folder" to select the folder where the pdf files are in. e.g. "D:\files\sales\orders\"
    select (top-right) "arange by" and select e.g. "name".
    you should now be able to see the pdf properties (don't forget to enable the subject etc. collums)
    See picture..
    Good luck!!

  • PDF properties (meta tags) can't be changed (error 0x80040154 - class not registered)

    @MadEyes: I found out you had to set a site address in wordpress the hard way, i set it for a dns host and I couldn't get into the wp-admin page or load any sort of image or css.
    At the moment i have a server root directory with a wordpress folder on it. Eg:
        (/srv/http)/wp/
    and a  test index file in the root. Eg:
        (/srv/http)/index.html
    The index file doesn't show up publicly, but it will on the local network.
    I set the apache port back to 61669 and tested with canyouseeme.org. I got (i will email you the ip addy):
        Success: I can see your service on X.X.X.X on port (61669)       >EDIT: If I close apache, then it fails. Start it back up, it succeeds.
        Your ISP is not blocking port 61669
    I also nmap'd myself and got this:
        Host is up (0.025s latency).
        Not shown: 996 closed ports
        PORT     STATE    SERVICE

    A port forward is definitely set up, so i dont know how much I can trust this (I did make 6881, but them program isn't open).
    Any of this any help?

  • CorelDRAW X4. Published PDFs don't open properly. But they used to.

    Hi everyone. I am having a problem while publishing a PDF from CorelDRAW X4. It used be ok for a long time, but one day something went wrong. After opening a published PDF file I see only a blank page zoomed to an enormous percentage value (e.g., 6035%) and the it says "there was an error reading this document (14)" .You cannot see anything but you can still import the PDF back into Corel and see the content.

    Hi ,
    Are these PDF's being created using Inbound Refinery from some Word Documents .
    I think this can be done by un-checking the option "Transfer the properties " from input contents to output .
    This is I think one way of achieving the requirement .
    Thanks

  • Print PDF vs Publish PDF

    What is the difference between Printing a PDF and Publishing a PDF. I know that if a printed and published one are combined the links become messed up within the document. Is there any difference between the two?

    My "take" on it
    "Print" --- digital content ends up as an imprint on some kind of paper media.
    "Publish" --- digital content is repurposed to a different file format.
    "Published" PDFs can be provided via use of Adobe Printer for a simple PDF (no "extras", just page content) or via an interface between an application and Distiller (like PDFMaker or the FrameMaker or InDesign interface) that results in robust PDF.
    Be well...

  • A font not used in an MS Word doc is showing up in the PDF properties and won't embed

    A friend needed a new manuscript uploaded to a publishing site. I retyped it in MS Word (2007) using NO formatting shortcuts and using only ONE font (Georgia)  for both body and headers/footers. Placed all the jpg illustrations on the pages. Then saved it in the required PDF format for the publisher's system to use. They also require that ALL fonts/symbols are embedded. Even ONE character that is not embedded will void the file. I'm now on attempt 17.
    When I checked the properties on this PDF file, the font I used, including italics, symbols and bolding, are noted as embedded. However, it also says that there is ARIEL font (which I did not use) that is NOT embedded. AARRGGHH.
    This gal wants her book ready in two weeks. HOW can I resolve this? Any ideas? I saved it once through MS Word using the PDF option, but also tried it through my Photoshop Elements. Same result. My PC uses Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) and the Adobe Reader XI.0.7. The Java files are the most current update as of yesterday.

    It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
    Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements.

  • Crystal report "Failed to load database information" error after publish

    I have seen similar questions, but none of the answers seem to apply to my situation.
    I am upgrading an older web application to Visual Studio 2013, using the SAP Visual Studio Crystal Reports tools. Everything works great until I publish.
    I have two sorts of reports: Some that export to Excel, and some that export to PDF. All work fine within Visual Studio. However, when I publish, the reports that should go to PDF give me the following error.

    I have seen several posts that indicate that this could be a 32/64 bit issue. I am using a newer 64 bit SQL database, and this is an old application. I have it set to Any CPU. However, since the reports work fine in Visual Studio, I don't see how this could be the issue.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Geoff Callaghan

    Hi Geoff
    This is definitely not due to the export type. Rather it will be due to a db issue of some sort. My suspicion is that reports that work use a different type of connection that reports that fail. E.g.; the reports that work use OLE DB, those that fail use ODBC and the ODBC datasource is 32 bit, not 64 bit(?). E.g.; check the database connections between reports that work and those that do not. And remember to also check the connections in subreports (if any).
