Is there a way to prevent or lock a user from pasting text from another source into a text field in Acrobat Reader?

We require them to enter their own text into the field. The form was created in LiveCycle Designer and is accessed by users in Reader. Thanks

You can't prevent someone from pasting, but you can use a script to check if more than one character was pasted at a time, and prevent it if it's true. This would be a reasonable alternative it seems, but you should post this question in the LiveCycle Designer forum if you need help with the script.

Is there a way to prevent or "lock" a folder from being copied on a mac?

I am Copying over a few folders to a friend of mine and I would like to "lock" out the folder to prevent him from giving out and sharing the contents of that folder. Is there any way to make that happen? Maybe something that will "require" a password when you want to copy the folder?
Creating an encrypted .dmg is not an option.

If I were to create an ecrypted .DMG the folder will not automatically show up. I would have to give him the password which would defeat the purpose. unless i can encrypt it and make it read only?
I tried to lock out the folder but it will not lock.
Im a DJ and I Sold him/traded alot of my personal video and audio remixes I've made and I would not want him to give them out to other DJ's in the area. That's basically my biggest concern.

Is there any way to call methods of one view from another

Hi experts,
I am new to webdynpro.I am having some requirement in which I need to call methods of one view from some other view of same component .So is there any way to do this.

Dear Pradeep,
This will solve your problem......( plz 1st read everything ..)
There are 2 views :
i) Mandatory Attributes ' view(V1)
ii) Button' s View..(V2)
1. Create a method in Component Controller.( M1).
2. Goto V2 . In the Action Handler method of Button , call method M1 of component controller.
3. Write your Code in M1 instead of V2 method.
4. Create an EVENT ( E1 ) in component controller.
5. Fire this event from M1 before executing Action Code.
6. Now Add the event handler method of E1 in V1 ( i.e. Mandatory attributes view. ) ..........clear????? .. set "METHOD TYPE" = Event Handler. instead of Method.
7. In this event handler method in V1 , write the "check_mandatory_attribute_view" method.
8. use necessary flags..
Regards ,
Aditya.

Is there a way to sign in on your mac from another persons mac

I was just wondering if anyone new how you could sign into your mac from another persons mac. I seem to remember there being mention of that in the keynote for Lion or Mountain Lion. Do you have to set up a remote desktop thing or is there a basic way to do it? If so how do you do it?
Thanks,
Jon

Yes, but how you do it depends on what it is you wish to do. If you wish to control your Mac from another Mac, use Screen Sharing:

You can also set up file sharing so you can access the files of your Mac from another Mac:

Is there a way to get the cursor position index of html text field

I'm trying to work on a text pad like MC with "insert text at
position X" and "find and replace" can anyone tell me how to find
the cursor index of an html text field. Selection.getBeginIndex() ,
Selection.getEndIndex(), Selection.getCaretIndex() as far as I know
these methods only work with text and not htmltext.
What I'm trying to do is assign different parts of the string
to variables so that I can combine them to reconstitute my html
string.

enfantterrible:
If I understand correctly, you want the corresponding
position in the
htmlText propery of the caret index (which as you point out
is only the
position in the plain text version of the textfield content).
Below is how I would do it. Maybe there's an easier or more
efficient
way (using XML objects etc), but I don't know it. You could
conduct all
your string searches in the plain text and then convert the
result to
the html positions. I didn't build this to accept negative
parameters
for the pos parameter (e.g. from end of string backwards) but
the
function could be adapted to do this too if necessary. The
test data is
not proper html from a text field, but it doesn't really
matter what it
is so long as its formatted correctly. It just separates the
tags from
the content to enable apples with apples comparison.
//some test data
var testStringXML = "<format>Hel<b>lo i can't
t<i>ell you h</i>ow hap</b>py I
am.</format>";
var undecoratedString = "Hello i can't tell you how happy I
am.";
//the conversion function
function findDecoratedPosition(pos:Number, xmlString:String,
test:Boolean):Number {
//anything between '<' and '>' should be excluded from
plain text search.
//create an array of array elements (n=2) consisting of tag
then plain text
//requires correctly formatted xml/html
var tempArr:Array = xmlString.split("<");
for (var aa = 0; aa<tempArr.length; aa++) {
tempArr[aa] = tempArr[aa].split(">");
//remove the first and last elements of the new array (these
are empty)
tempArr.pop();
tempArr.shift();
//find the corresponding plaintext location and calculate
the "decorated" position
var retPos:Number = 0;
var posCount:Number = 0;
for (var aa = 0; aa<tempArr.length; aa++) {
retPos += tempArr[aa][0].length+2+tempArr[aa][1].length;
//+2 allows for missing < and >
posCount += tempArr[aa][1].length;
if (posCount>pos) {
return (retPos+(pos-posCount));
//out of range
return -1;
//test code:
for (var aa = 0; aa<undecoratedString.length; aa++) {
var altPos = findDecoratedPosition(aa, testStringXML);
trace(undecoratedString.charAt(aa)+" in position "+aa+"
plainText equates to position "+altPos+" in the decorated version
["+testStringXML.charAt(altPos)+"]");
}

How to prevent a user from entering characters into a number field

How do you prevent a user from entering characters like A or B into a field that is defined as a numeric field?
Please note that
- we use block validation (for other reasons)
- we are not able to convert these numeric fields to character fields
We want to avoid a user being hasseled with the FRM-40209 ... message.
This message is
- not very helpfull because it does not inform us what the problem field is
- not suppressable
Any hints ?

I went back to the drawing board on this one.
You are absolutely right : the message can be catched !
By writing an on-error trigger you can check for the error number. Sadly enough my first attempt on this used the on-message trigger which never fired hence my desperation.
Anyway, the on-error trigger in combination with :SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM or :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM enables me to display a more meaningfull message to my users.
Thanks for the hint.

Is there a way to sync songs that I purchased from another person's account, which have transferred to my library, onto my ipod, without their authorization?

I used to share an accout with a family member on itunes, where I bought a lot of my songs and kept them on a shared library. We used home-share to transfer my songs onto my MacBook Pro and start my own library, but when we turned off Home-Share and de-authorized the other person's account on my computer, I was no longer able to sync the songs I puchased on her account onto my ipod. She would have to remain authorized on my mac for me to be able to sync those songs onto my ipod. Is there another way to do it, without her authorization? Thanks!

Your iPod will only work with and sync content you have either purchased from the iTunes store or imported from elsewhere via iTunes.

Is there a way of getting files created in iWeb09 from my iDisk into iWeb11 on my MacBook

When my MacBook was repaired Apple updated OS X and iLife. I had 2 web sites created in iWeb09 and published on my MobileMe account. They are still accessible on the net but are not visible in iWeb11. How can I download the files into iWeb11 for editing and publishing?

You didn't have a backup of your MacBook's hard drive when it had to be replaced? If you do look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if the Doman.sites2 file is there. If it is drag it to the same folder on your new hard drive and open with iWeb. That should give you your old sites back.
If you don't have a backup then you'll have to do what QTKirt pointed out. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

Is there a way to import a CDL / EDL generated from DaVinci Resolve into Premiere/Speedgade to have it show the basic color from Resolve?

Trying to take a basic color pass from Resolve for a client in Resolve and send a CDL / EDL to them with the media. They will load media, open EDL and have the timeline populate showing the basic color applied using either Premiere or Speedgrade. Tried Adobe support (worthless)! Any help would be great.
Thank you

Hello Neil,
Thanks for the response. I understand about the Speedgrade / Premiere thing. What we are trying to do is essentially the reverse. I use DaVinci Resolve, my client is using Premiere to edit. They want me to do essentially a best light pass on the footage without rendering it out. I then would export a CDL / EDL from Resolve and they would load that into Premiere or Speedgrade whichever would then display the simple color grade using the Adobe color tools. The CDL generated from Resolve is a cross platform basic color information inside an EDL. Anyway I can't find a way for Premiere / Speedgrade to read this info yet. Supposedly It will in Final Cut X, although I haven't tried it since I don't have Final Cut X on my computer.

Is there a way to provision FF to multiple users from a network share?

Rather than deploying FF to 150,000 users, I would like to centrally provision the applicaiton from a network location. Is this possible?

You can only use one library at a time in an Aperture slideshow, so I'd suggest to simply collect the audio that you want to use in a folder (export the songs from both iTunes Libraries) and then import this folder to Aperture. Now you have a project containing the audio files; you will see it in the Aperture Audio section of the audio Browser, right above the iTunes section.
You can use the Apperture audio just like the audio in iTunes to drag to the timeline of your slideshow.

Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change ?

hi all,
we have a filter in web.xml. Now we want to prevent it from any change in future. I mean after making a war(EAR) no one can change the filter in web.xml. if he chaged it then he will not be able to re deploy the application.Right now it is in web.xml so one can easily change it and then he can redeploy the application.
Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change after making EAR(WAR)?
One can easily make a change in web.xml and redeploy the application to get the result. Now we want to restrict the web.xml as java class for any change after making EAR(or WAR).
Could some one help me to do this?
thanks,

I think you could use some third party software to lock the folder like FolderLock, just make sure others ppl cannot access your file should be fined.
This is my stupid solution only,cheers.

Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Can I block this access?

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?

Yes. You can set restrictions.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start
No
he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.
