Is there a way to allow the end user to change the font color in a text field?

I didn't know LiveCycle existed yesterday so I have been using the Google a bunch.
I am building a request form and was asked if there was a way to change the color of font within a text field. (EXAMPLE: Original content is black. Notes are red)
I have 2 thoughts on this, one is to type it out and highlight then click a button to turn it red. The other way I am more partial to. Have a radial button that when off, types black. When on, types red. What is the best way to do this or is it even possible?

Figured it out. Change "plain text" to "rich text" and have user press ctr+e. Seems odd to me but it works.

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Stop the end user if changes are not saved

Hi,
Is there a way to show a warning to the end user when they try to navigate outside a page where there are any unsaved changes?
Thanks.

I have a Mac OS 10.7.5 and downloaded Adobe Reader, accepted the end user license, and the screen is

is black when trying to open a document. A pop up occurs and states to accept the end user agreement, which I did.

Download and install AppZapper (it's a free trial)
Launch AppZapper and drag the Reader app from yoru applications folder to the AppZapper window.
"Zap" it to the trash with all files in the window.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdovePDFViewer.plugin file and the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Reader folder (the whole thing)
Empty the trash
Download the offline installer and reinstall Reader
Double click the app in your Applications folder and accept the agreement.
Reader should work after that.

I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones. If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones. If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device. For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
Please advise,
Thanks.

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy?
One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures).
I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

Is there any way to prevent non-root users from rebooting the system?

This question seems to be addressed many times on the web, but the problem is that none of the wannabe-howtos work on my system. In particular, this doesn't work and this doesn't work either, because (1) I need to keep policykit installed for udisks and other dependencies to function and (2) renaming (or removing) the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy has (again) no effect on the users' ability to reboot and shut down the system. Even more surprisingly, adding the following to /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/20-disable-shutdown.rules has no effect at all:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.upower.suspend" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate"
return polkit.Result.NO;
As a result, ordinary users (not in the wheel group and with no special permissions) can simply reboot the machine by typing reboot. I remember that a simple polkit rule (as proposed on the Fedora forum) worked fine just a few months ago, but this doesn't work nowadays. The action IDs mentioned there are no longer listed in pkaction, so it's quite obvious that some changes (and bugs) have been introduced since then. I just need to prevent the users from rebooting the machine and to keep policykit installed. Is there any way to do this?

karol wrote:Do said users have the ability to push the Power or Reset buttons?
No, they don't.
But come on, access permissions are a matter of principle rather than a matter of what you can possibly do with a hammer in your hand. That makes your question somewhat irrelevant to this issue. Imagine someone asking: "How can I protect my home directory from access by other users?" You would then probably ask: "Do said users have the ability to pull out the hard drive and mount it on their computer?"
Even if the users had physical access to the ACPI buttons, rebooting the computer by mistake (via software) would still be much more likely than pressing (or even holding) the ACPI buttons by mistake.
If I call rm -Rf / as a normal user, nothing should happen to the system in terms of availability to other users. Only my home directory and temporary files would vanish, but that's all. This is what permissions are there for. Similarly, when I type reboot as a normal user (no matter if I'm on SSH, on a local terminal or logged into KDE), it should be possible to simply disallow rebooting.
The idea that users logged in locally can restart the computer may be fine for laptops under certain conditions, but it is a bad idea in almost all other cases. In a "kiosk" type environment, for example, the ability to reboot and get to the bootloader can be a huge security hole, unless all your disks are encrypted, and a huge "reliability hole" in any case. Suppose you use a desktop as a home server. You want everyone to be able to log in and to connect a USB flash drive (using polkit and udisks). But you simply don't want the machine to be rebooted. Why is such a simple thing so hard to do?

Is there a way to remap Command-B so it changes the character style to my Emphasis style?

I'm building a custom template where Helvetica Neue Light is the primary body text font, but going from Helvetica Neue Light to Helvetica Neue Bold is far too large a contrast for my tastes. So in this template, I set the Emphasis character style to Helvetica Neue Medium.
I've already mapped that style to F7, but it's a pain in the butt having to hit Fn-F7 whenever I want to make text bold, rather than just using Command-B as I've been used to doing for 20+ years now. I'd like to be able to press Command-B and have my Helvetica Neue Light text turn into Helvetica Neue Medium.
Is there a way to remap Command-B so that it changes the character style on my text to Emphasis, rather than using the Bold option on the font itself? (I wasn't able to set Command-B to change character styles through the Keyboard options in OS X Preferences, since individual character styles aren't in Pages' dropdown menus.)
Or, alternatively, is there a way to change the preferences for that specific font—either in that specific template, in Pages, or systemwide—so that when Helvetica Neue Light is in use, making the text boldface uses the medium-weight version of the font rather than the heavier bold version?

No, Cmd + B is for Bold. Doen't that work for you? It doesn give the same result on my computer.

Is there a way to restrict access to who can change the TVARVC table?

Hi experts,
We have a requirement where we need to restrict access to who can maintain the variables in tvarv table.
How do we go about it?

Hi,
We had kind of a same scenario. We have table where we enter the Average Item values week wise. We wanted to restrict change and delete access to users for the entries which has already been saved. For this purpose we had created an ABAP program in the "Table Maintenace Generator". The basic idea about this program is when you create an entry in the table or delete it, a specific event generates. We check the event id whether its "delete" or "change" on the click of save button. If it is Delete or Change, then an error message will be generated saying "You dont have authorization for deleteing or changing the data".
You can try this approach.

How can we restrict the other user to change the record which has been entered by particular user in MDS

I have created Product entity in MDS. It's having the following values:
Name Code Owner
Bike    1     ABC
Car      2     XYZ
Cycle   3     RRR
owner XYZ can change the record of RRR. But if owner XYZ or any other owner in this entity tried to update the ABC's record, access should be denied. That means, no one should have the permission to change the records which are entered by ABC.
For this i have executed this code
CREATE TRIGGER mdm.party_trial_readonly ON mdm.tbl_1042_1278_EN AFTER UPDATE, DELETE AS
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM deleted WHERE readonly = 1)
BEGIN
   ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
   RAISERROR ('Attempt to change a read-only row', 16, 1)
   RETURN
END;
After executing this code i couldn't edit any of the records.
Please help me out in this.

I have created 2 entities called Party and Owner. Party has following columns (name, Code, Owner (Domain Based Attribute)) Owner has following columns (name, Code) And I have Created one Derived Hierarchy.
From user and Group Permision Section, Hierarchy Members tab I have given read only permision to me (administrator of the Model). When I gave the permision I have selected users and Inherited from group in permission tab. And I'm not the part of any group.
Now I'm not able to see my model except the explorer area. And I'm not able to delete the permission from the user. As per the admin guide we need to delete permission from group.
Though I'm not the part of any group, I'm not able to proceed further to delete the permission.
Please help me out in this regard. Thanks!

When creating a fillable form fields from an existing pdf file, how do you set or allow end user to set the font size in the fields?

I successfully created a form filled pdf using an existing pdf document. However, the font size is too large to allow end user to type in information in the form box. Is there a way to 1)globally set all of the form fields when generated to a much smaller font size &/or 2) allow end user to change the font size if needed to put all information in one box without font being so large?

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

How to hide the columns at the end user level thru personalization

Hi all
how I can hide the columns that are displayed on the portal. Any personalize option for the end user? Any righ click or some thing?
I am looking at hiding columns not while developing the iViews / Pages, But in the browsers as the end user.
i can hide the columns what ever i want while creating the iViews for MDM data. but we cant provide the content administrator role to the end user for hiding the columns what ever they want. they want to hide the columns thru pesonalization option at the end user level.
Can you please let me know whether we can able to hide the columns at the end user level thru personalization ?? is it posible with standard iViews??
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
I understood your requirement properly and seems valid and I tried this at my end but i didnt get the solution. Field list is not visible in Personalize option. I dont think it is possible with MDM standard iViews.
I was thinking an alternative is if some how we manage to give the permissions to end user only on Result Set iView but if it would be possible it will not be a good design.
Lets wait for some inputs from others.

"first open Acrobat and accept the End User Agreement License" with black window? Cannot open downloaded PDFs

I have CS5 installed and operating in my MacBook Pro since 2012.
Several months ago, I ran not an issue where by, when trying to download PDFs from any website, I get the following back screen and message"
"Before proceeding, you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement"
The screen gives me no options to do this and, regardless of what I do, the same window with the same message opens…….
Does anyone know how to address this? FYI. I can use Acrobat Pro 9 to assemble and create PDFs, this is the ONLY problem that I am dealing with.
Thanks so much!
Steve

Hello Rave!
Thanks for remembering me!
No, I was never able to get this to work.
What I found, however, is that I can view the pdfs normally if I use Firefox instead on my default, Safari…….not much of a fix BUT at least I can access the pdfs now……..I just don't understand why this seems to happen in Safari only………Safari is updated to the latest version via Software Update in Mac OS 10.7.5….
Thanks again!
Steve

Is it possible for an end user to change application Theme?

Hi
Is it possible for an End user to change the theme or Font of the application.
We have a requirement where End user should able to change color or font of application (like we do theme change in some social networking websites)
Please provide some suggestions.
Many Thanks
--Vijay

You could:
1. export your current theme
2. change the exported file using a good editor and change the path
#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/
to
#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_&THEME_NUMBER./
and do that also with all strings related to that theme number.
3. crete an application item THEME_NUMBER
4. create an application computation for THEME_NUMBER to set it to a value (10) in case the value is null
5. import the theme and make it the current theme
6. create a link in your application which will set the value of THEME_NUMBER to whatever - 1 to 20 for the standard themes - and submit the change
This will change the template as you specify.
This explanation is of course simplified. Depending on the design of your application it may require considering some other details that need to be adjusted.
Something like in this example:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25882:1
The assumption is that all of your referenced classes in all css files have the same name for the same class with a leading theme number (which istn't the case in standart themes). However, this can at least give you an idea on how to proceed. I have done that with some custom themes I created and it works very well.
