Let Users Annotate A PDF In Browser And Save To Server?

I started this discussion here.
I have a bunch of PDF documents. I want users to be able to make annotations in their browser, and save them back to my server.
If I use Acrobat X Pro and click on "Send For Shared Review", then it behaves the way I want. However, I don't want to have to manually open Acrobat every time for each file.
Unfortunately, the Acrobat X SDK doesn't support this feature.
I heard that there's another way to do this with FDF files and LiveCycle. Is that right? How do I do that?
What I want is very simple. I want to write a program that will:
- Take a pdf file from my server.
- Enable the users to make annotations in their browser, as if I used "Send For Shared Review"
- Save the annotations back to my server.
- Merge the annotations into a new PDF document.
I can do this with Acrobat via the GUI. I want to write a program that does if for me. Can I do this with LiveCycle?

Thanks for the reply.
I know that having them both is not only unsupported, but has been a huge pain in the rump. However, This team needs Acrobat, and corporate policy as of yet hasn't been edited to allow the removal of Reader.
While it's been a pain for other issues, The users have been running both for around 12 months now, and the save button has always worked. Suddenly yesterday afternoon (after it had been working in the morning) the save is grayed out. There must be some configuration issue that has caused this...
I'm near the point of having acrobat uninstalled/reinstalled, and the reg entry we found to get them both working re-applied, but that's kind of a worst case option at the moment.

Record sound in a browser and save to server

i need users to be able to record sound from their
microphones into a browser-based app, which then saves the
resulting sound file on the server. can FMS do this? are there any
tutorials or sample files that illustrate this functionality?
better yet, can this be done without FMS? is there a flash /
coldfusion / pre-fab app solution that will work without the need
for FMS?
thanks!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Safari won't display pdf in browser and I do not have adobe reader or ply ins

I've been checking the posts and all the discussions/questions and answers but the only thing I have been able to find about problems displaying pdfs in browser have to do with adobe plug-ins. I never had adobe reader and checked in /library/internet plug ins and never found those plug ins. I then downloaded and installed adobe reader X and got rid of the plug ins in the library and that still has not solved the problem. Whenever I click on a link for a pdf it just automatically downloads the pdf. I just want to view the pdfs in the browser.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

PDF attachment sign and save problem

I've used digital signatures for quite a while without problem. Recently, I've noticed that when trying to digitally sign a PDF attachment from Outlook 2003 or 2010 using Adobe Acrobat Standard 7, I get an error when clicking Sign and Save. The Sign and Save As button works fine
Error is:
The document could not be signed.
There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved.
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

I will try that, thank you.

How to prevent end user to create a Query View and save back to BW Server?

Dear All :
Do Someone know that how to setup authorization for Bex Query View Creation? We want to prevent end user to create a Query View to save back to BW Server his favorite folder. when our user run Bex Query, he can base on this query and use Bex Analyzer's save function to save a Query View and save into his favorite folder.
My question is :
1. Can we set up a Authorization to prevent end user to save Bex Query View?
2. Or can I remove Save function from Bex Analyzer to prevent end user use save function, But Developer should not to be prevent .
Thanks for all of your kindly response.
Best Regard
Lawrence Kuo

Hi.
Yes, you can do it like you outline in your point 1):
You need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP for this. This object let's you control what parts/components of a query the user can do stuff to. So, in your case, you need to have a role for the users, where you do not grant create-access to the component QVW, and then you need another role for developers, where you grant full access or whatever you need for your developers.
See [this post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a6c54319-0e01-0010-20a4-fb81ad32f330?QuickLink=events&overridelayout=true&5003637661135] and the [SAP Help entry|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/80/1a6859e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm].
You will also need to use the authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If you already have a productive system with users doing reporting, both objects will be maintained in one of the roles already.
You also want to consider using the object S_RS_PARAM to allow users to create variants for the variabel screen.
Good luck.

InPrivate Browsing and a Proxy Server

Is it possible to have IE8 InPrivate Browsing use a proxy server and not regular IE8 not using the proxy without changing the settings every time I use IPB?

Hi,
Thank for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
Inprivate Browsing only affect following items:
Information
How it is affected by InPrivate Browsing
Cookies
Kept in memory so pages work correctly, but cleared when you close the browser.
Temporary Internet Files
Stored on disk so pages work correctly, but deleted when you close the browser.
Webpage history
This information is not stored.
Form data and passwords
This information is not stored.
Anti-phishing cache
Temporary information is encrypted and stored so pages work correctly.
Address bar and search AutoComplete
This information is not stored.
Automatic Crash Restore (ACR)
ACR can restore when a tab crashes in a session, but if the whole window crashes, data is deleted and the window cannot be restored.
Document Object Model (DOM) storage
The DOM storage is a kind of "super cookie" web developers can use to retain information. Like regular cookies, they are not kept after the window is closed.
Based on my know, we cannot use a proxy server separately for Inprivate Browsing.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Alex Zhao

How do I make IE open PDF inside browser and not prompt?

I am using IE 11, Adobe Reader 11.0.06.
When I try to open a PDF inside a browser window (for example this one: http://helpx.adobe.com/dk/pdf/acrobat_reference.pdf) I am prompted to Open, Save or Save As. I want open the document directly without being prompted.
How can I achieve that?

I have now tried the following: Adobe Reader was completely uninstalled. I then downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader 11.0.00 package directly from the Adobe site and upgraded it to 11.0.06 afterwards.
In this default configuration it works - PDF files on web pages open directly in Internet Explorer (Windows 7, IE 10).
I then removed Reader and ran our deployed version (from SCCM). Then it failed to show PDF's in the browser, as before.
So a setting in our TRANSFORMS file could be an issue. Does anyone know if you can set this open/do-not-open in browser inside the MST file using Adobe Reader Configuration Utility? Our installation CMD file looks like this:
REM *** Install Reader 11 MUI base package
msiexec /i [\\servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std\acroread.msi TRANSFORMS=\\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AcroRead.mst LANG_LIST=[language] /passive
REM *** Install 11.0.06 MUI update
msiexec /update \\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdrUpd11006_MUI.msp /passive

Newly built website not allowing users to open pdfs in browser

We just got a new website. None of us who work here can open pdfs from our site in a browser (at least not automatically), even though we all open other sites' pdfs in a browser automatically. So we're thinking it's something wrong with our site, but the developer says he hasn't a clue. When we get the download box, we can open in a particular browser, but it opens from a saved temprorary file (not an actual link). Links are available by right clicking. We are all using Adobe 9.
1. Adobe 9 preferences set to open pdfs in a browser? Yes
2. Tried "Repair Adobe Reader."
3. Also, the download box will not let us check "do this automatically from now on."
Can we know for certain that this problem originates with Adobe Reader? Or, is it possible the developer screwed something up?

Your post makes me think of MIME types. It is a setting on your web server that tells your browser how to deal with a certain type of file.
Type/sub-type: application/pdf
ext: pdf
Maybe this needs to be set? This is just a guess. Take a look at this link: http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp

Won't let me create a pdf - keeps flushing and not creating

How can i get program to create a PDF? Acrobat keeps saying:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
Cambria not found, using Courier.
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%
Stack:
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

The messages are fairly clear. Your content, now in PostScript form, is requesting a font, Cambria, a standard font delivered with all versions of Windows beginning with Windows Vista (but not with Windows XP). You have the joboptions you are using for Distiller set to cancel the creation of PDF if there are any missing fonts. Cambria is not being found by Distiller and therefore causes the job to abort. Alternatively, you can specify to either “warn” or ignore such missing fonts, in which case, the text formatted in Cambria would have appeared in the PDF file as Courier, something that I honestly don't think you really want.
You didn't indicate what application(s) you are using, but some applications simply ignore missing fonts in terms of display (typically substituting Arial or Times New Roman on the screen) but try to access the actual font for printing.
Your next step is to check your Fonts Control Panel and see whether Cambria is actually installed? If not, you need to somehow get the font installed either from a disk backup, your OS install disk, or if you moved it somewhere else on your system, reinstall it in the Fonts directory. Alternatively, you may reformat your content not to use Cambria.

PDF In Browser-No Save

I have a user who's been opening pdfs up in the browser off of an internal server. Normally he'd open them, they open in a pop-up, and he hits the save button.
Suddenly yesterday afternoon, the save button is grayed out. No changes were made that I can find. The same reports are working fine on mine.
Specs:
Windows XP with both Acrobat Pro and Reader installed, the pdfs are set to open in Acrobat (albeit, in the browser).

Thanks for the reply.
I know that having them both is not only unsupported, but has been a huge pain in the rump. However, This team needs Acrobat, and corporate policy as of yet hasn't been edited to allow the removal of Reader.
While it's been a pain for other issues, The users have been running both for around 12 months now, and the save button has always worked. Suddenly yesterday afternoon (after it had been working in the morning) the save is grayed out. There must be some configuration issue that has caused this...

Opening PDF in Browser when running in Server 2008 R2 RemoteApp (Terminal Services)

We are running a RemoteApp server that allows users to access an intranet page, through this can can click and open a number of PDF documents.
When connecting and running locally (RDP) the PDFs open in the browser as required, but when running through remoteApp its forcing the PDF to open into Adobe Reader.
Im getting this on all versions of IE 9-11 and Reader 9-11, ive enabled view in PDF and also the IE add-ons but it still forces the file to open in the full application.
Group polciy isnt an issue as Ive tested this on a live users, and also a clean slate test account. Ive even moved the RemoteApp server out of the domain and tried as a local system (with local accounts) and the same behaviour happens.
This is the same if I try and open PDF documents from the internet.
Any Advice would be good
Steve.

Hi Uber,
This is a known issue that error occurs when running report "Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs" due to non-printable characters for XML. Based on internal research, the hotfix for this issue will be
included in the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1.
As a workaround, you can remove the nonprintable character populated into the report parameter by referring to the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/914159
Hope this helps.

I close the browser and save my tabs. When I next open the browser the tabs were not saved.

After my last Windows update I have been unable to save my tabs once I close FF. I choose the save tabs option on closing the browser but upon reopening it goes to my homepage and the saved tabs are gone.

Thanks cor-el but that is not the case unless something is clearing History automatically. I think that's set for a long time (30 days +) prior to clearing the cache. I checked on the off chance that 'today was the day' but I've plenty of cached sites in my History.
I'd suspected something in the Windows Updates but then the problem would be more viral and apparently I'm the only one 'suffering' from it.
