Making names used to create comments anonymous

Is there any way to make user names in comments anonymous?
We receive several hundred PDFs of academic/medical/science research each year, many of which have previously applied comments embedded.
We are looking for a quick way of changing the user name in the comments to something like 'Anonymous'.
The PDFs are subsequently sent to other researchers for blind peer review, and it is important that the PDFs contain no indication of who authored or commented on the document previously.
We know that we can change names in comments one by one using Properties. What we want is a global way of changing/replacing the user names used to create previously applied comments and sticky notes.
Using Acrobat 9 on Mac OS X 10.5.4.

I tried using AppleScript, but the Acrobat dictionary doesn't give access to the author (or at least I couldn't easily figure it out with my limited knowledge of AppleScript). I just tried this in Acrobat Pro 8 on Mac, and the following works.
Under the comments menu, export the comments to a data file. The default is the same name with an "fdf" extension, so if you start with an fdf file, make sure to change the name before saving. Open this file in a text editor (I use TextMate) and you will see something that is mostly text. Do a search for the login name. You will find that it is enclosed in parentheses with a "T" tag. Simply do global replace on "T(login-name)" with "T(Anonymous)" and save the file. You could probably automate this with a sed (awk, perl or similar) script, or even Applescript.
Open up the original pdf with comments in Acrobat Pro, then import comments (under the Comments menu). All of the non-anonymous comments will be replaced with the same anonymous ones.
I tried the same on a copy of the original file (without exporting comments), and it really messed up that file, although I'm guessing that it might have worked if the new name and old name had the same number of characters.

HOW TO START MAKING DATABASE USING ORACLE SQL PLUS in 10g?

how will i create database using sql plus?
does the code of sql applicable to it..?
do i have to use the "create db <database name>", use and " create table also,.."
pls help me..
thanks

At dos prompt :
C:\>set ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba
you get connected as sys user. Don't use this connection to create your own objects, create users instead.... but it would be useful to read some documentation, for example Starting SQL*Plus and manuals mentioned there.

Create object name using a String variable

Hi,
I�m making a jsp page and I need to add several objects to a vector. The vector's name is arrayGrupo, and the object is Grupo. The problem is that when I create the instance of the object, I cant �give him different names, so the add in the Vector will always be of the same object instance. Is there anyway to create an object name using a variable?
Something like this:
<% if (request.getParameter("grupoNome") != null ) {
                                   nomeG=request.getParameter("grupoNome");
                                   descG=request.getParameter("grupoDesc");
                                   int nG=arrayGrupo.getTamanho(); //size of the array
                                   String xpto=String.valueOf(nG);
                                   Grupo "xpto"= new Grupo(); //here is the problem
                                   xpto.setNomeGrupo(nomeG);
                                   xpto.setDescricao(descG);
                                   xpto.setIdgrupo(arrayGrupo.getTamanho()+1);
                                   arrayGrupo.addGrupo(xpto);
}%>
Thanks

I want to show a list of objects that are stored in a vector. But I also want to add objects to that vector. If I just want to add one object, I can use this code:
<% if (request.getParameter("grupoNome") != null ) {
                                   nomeG=request.getParameter("grupoNome");
                                   descG=request.getParameter("grupoDesc");
                                   Grupo newGrupo = new Grupo(nomeG,descG,arrayGrupo.getTamanho()+1);
                                   arrayGrupo.addGrupo(newGrupo);
%>
What should I do if I want to add more than one object to the vector?
I don�t know if I made myself clear but is quite hard to explain my problem.
Thanks

Query plan changes when query is used in CREATE TABLE AS

We've puzzled by the fact that EXPLAIN PLAN gives a much different output for a SELECT statement than it does when the same statement is used for CREATE TABLE . . . AS SELECT.
The bad part is that the CREATE TABLE version performs very badly, and that's what we want the query for.
Why does this happen? Is there a difference (from the database's point of view) between retrieving a set of rows to display to the user and putting that same set into a new table? Doesn't this make it harder to diagnose and fix query performance problems?
Here's our query:
create table query_test AS
select term, parentTerm, apidb.tab_to_string(cast(collect(trim(to_char(internal)))
                   as apidb.varchartab), ', ') as internal
             from (
                 select distinct ga.organism as term,
                                 ga.species as parentTerm,
                                 tn.taxon_id as internal
                 from apidb.GeneAttributes ga, SRES.TaxonName tn, sres.Taxon t,
                      dots.AaSequence aas, dots.SecondaryStructure ss
                 where ga.organism = tn.name
           and tn.taxon_id = t.taxon_id
                   and t.taxon_id = aas.taxon_id
   and aas.aa_sequence_id = ss.aa_sequence_id
           and t.rank != 'species'
           union
                 select distinct ga.species as term,
                   '' as parentTerm,
                                 ts.taxon_id as internal
                 from apidb.GeneAttributes ga, SRES.TaxonName tn, apidb.taxonSpecies ts,
                      dots.aasequence aas, dots.SecondaryStructure ss
                 where ga.organism = tn.name
                  and tn.taxon_id = ts.taxon_id
                  and ts.taxon_id = aas.taxon_id

Charles Hooper wrote a series of blog entries on a similar topic some time ago: http://hoopercharles.wordpress.com/2010/12/15/select-statement-is-fast-insert-into-using-the-select-statement-is-brutally-slow-1/ (including a lot of useful comments) and two following articles. I have to confess that I did not read the posts again - but I think you will find some good ideas how to analyze the problem.

Problems using projects created in older versions of iMovie

I have a few projects created in older versions of iMovie, as far back as version 2 as well as more recent versions. Most of those projects are finished and I want to burn them to DVD again, but a couple of them could bear a little touch up editing. These projects are precious movies of our kids and hard to replace. Although I could probably find the original video, I put many hours of work into creating these projects.
In any case, when I open up an old project, I get a warning that goes something like this: "The project was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I clicked okay, thinking "sure, I don't need to play it in an older version. I have iMovie HD."
However, now when I play my old iMovie project, there are a few problems. For example, one original movie's title was over black. When I play the movie, I get a completely white screen and no title. Also, in another movie, when viewing the movie in full screen, the transitions were replaced by a black screen (although the transitions were there when I viewed the movie in the iMovie window). Basically, there are problems cropping up here and there.
I need to do some more experimenting with all this to more fully understand how many problems there are. I don't know if the projects I opened in iMovie HD are now "broken" since I "upgraded" them with iMovie HD (when prompted to save the project's changes when quitting, I said NO, don't save changes).
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS 10.4.7.) I also don't know if the older versions of iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD. How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally used for a given project? How can I find iMovie 4 or 5 if I need it?
I also wonder if projects I make with iMovie HD can be opened by future versions of iMovie, or if I should export them as Quicktime or something to be safe.
As I start to look into this further, I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences that you may be able to offer. I need to get these movies back to their former selves, when they looked good!

(when prompted to save the project's changes when
quitting, I said NO, don't save changes).
Excellent! That should leave you in pretty good shape. More below.
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie
to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have
iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older
versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS
10.4.7.)
The old versions of iMovie will run just fine in today's OSX. (But not iMovie 2 if it was the version that ran in Classic instead of Mac OSX.)
I run versions 2,3,4,5 and 6 today. Problems are minimal.
I also don't know if the older versions of
iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD.
That's not a problem unless your old iMovie projects contain chapters. If you tell iMovie 3 to create a new iDVD project, it might not work. You might not be able to transfer the chapter information to the newer version of iDVD.
(I just tested iMovie 3 to iDVD 6 and everything worked just fine.)
Except for iMovie 2, all old versions of iMovie stored a small QuickTime reference movie in the project folder. If you can't get an old version of iMovie to play nice with iDVD, drag that movie into the iDVD window.
How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally
used for a given project?
Drop the project file (discussed below) onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The version of iMovie that last saved the project is shown in the first few lines of the project file.
iMovie 5 used an entirely different project file format, the pList format. The top of the project file will look like this in TextEdit:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
How can I find iMovie 4 or
5 if I need it?
eBay?
I also wonder if projects I make with iMovie HD can
be opened by future versions of iMovie, or if I
should export them as Quicktime or something to be
safe.
We can never assume any new version of iMovie will be able to understand all features of a older project. It's always smart to make a backup.
There can be problems Apple can't anticipate. There may be third-party software used to create titles, transitions and special effects, plug-ins not installed with the new version or (more often, incompatible). The fonts installed on our Mac may have changed too. There's lots of features that can't be anticipated. I've never had a problem converting projects, but I never use third-party add-ons and special fonts.
As I start to look into this further, I would
appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences
that you may be able to offer. I need to get these
movies back to their former selves, when they looked
good!
My guess is it should be possible to restore the projects back to their original state.
Note that when imovie 5/6 converts an older project, it does NOT create a true iMovie HD project. Instead of creating an iMovie package, it retains the project FOLDER format. It places new iMovie HD elements inside the old project folder instead of converting it to a package.
When converting the project it changes the old project file name to "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project", then creates a NEW project file with the plist format, having the name "Sample Project Name.iMovieProj". (There may NOT be the .iMovieProj extension.) When you save the new project, it adds a new project file "Sample Project Name.~iMovieProj". Note the tilde. The tilde file is a backup of the project file as it was when last saved in iMovie HD.
For our purposes, ignore the iMovie HD project files. We'll use the file ".iMovie2Project" to restore the project. (The extension is the same for all old versions of iMovie, not just iMovie 2.)
• In the Finder, Duplicate the entire project folder. Work on the copy.
• Open the project folder in the Finder.
• Discard the "Cache" folder, the "Shared Movies" folder, the "Audio Waveforms" folder and the two iMovie HD project files. (Some of those items may not yet exist yet because you didn't save the converted project.)
• Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock to get the version. Close it.
• Remove the ".iMovie2Project" extension, if you want.
• Launch that version of iMovie. Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file icon on the iMovie icon in the Dock. With luck, the project should open normally. It's possible any third-party plug-ins used to create the project may not be available. If they aren't available, there might still be problems.
• Move your unconverted projects to folders that say which version of iMovie created them. To open them in the future, drop the project icon on the appropriate version of iMovie.
If all this fails, there is another way to do the editing you want. That is to import the project.mov file that's inside the converted project folder to a new iMovie HD project. That will deliver the video and audio of the original project as a single clip. Use that to re-edit the project. The name of the movie is "Sample Project Name.mov".
(The movie is a QuickTime reference movie, with no video and audio of its own, just pointers to the files in the Media folder. So long as the Media folder hasn't changed, it can play the original project as last saved.)
Importing the project.mov won't work with iMovie 2 projects, however, for iMovie 2 didn't store a project.mov file in the project folder.
Even if you end up importing the project.mov, you still may want to "unconvert" the project as described above.
Hope I haven't skipped a step. Let me know if you bump your head on something.

How can I use a ranged comment marker to quickly define in and out range?

Hi,
I'm using several parts of a single clip, and they have overlapping in and out points. As I'll need to go back and grab them multiple times, I've defined these ranges by using a comment marker, then giving them a range by setting the in and out point in the marker panel.
What I want to do is using this defined comment marker range, right click/double click/clap twice or something that will allow a shortcut to set this marker range as an in and out range so that I can put it into my sequence's timeline.
I'm happy if I can skip the in and out all together and drag the marker to the timeline - but I tried this from the Marker panel, and it didn't work.
If this functionality doesn't exist, I'm going to have to just set a marker for every in and out point, and that's just busywork and confusing as it's not clear what's the in and the out when your'e in the middle of all the markers.
Thanks for any and all help

Premiere does not have a feature that automatically converts a marker's In/Out to function as clip In/Out points. I recommend saving a subclip for each segment of interest. The subclip becomes a new instance of the clip in the project panel, which you can give a descriptive name.
If you give this a try--and if you're using Premiere Pro CC--take a little time to learn about the "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries" option, which controls whether a subclip is "hard" or "soft." http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-soft-subclips-with-flexible-edit-po ints/

Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films

First, I have Adobe Production Suite CS5 on it's way and have been loooking for information on using several of the programs like Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere.
How is Flash C5 pro used to create feature length animated films?
*I have been searching for days for information about using Flash in the creation of feature legenth animated films and all the videos on youtube I could find where about web related usage and so where the other I viewed that googl turned up. I did turn up one movie that Flash was used in a feature animated movie for a classical 2d animation style. The name of the movie is Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss by Phil Nibbelink. through my searching so far one item turns up but no referance on how to set up Flash otherwise if not using them and that is - DO NOT USE ACTIONS. Ok, do not use actions and no referance on how to set up Flash to use it's tools in the creation of 2d feature animated film. I know it can be done as Phil Nibbleink's Romeo & Juliet, Sealed With A Kiss illustrates that it can.
NOTE: If you have information (links, etc) on tutorials for using Flash in feature animated film making I would appricate links to them (I would prefer video tutorials). If you know if some of the companies that create taining videoes for Flash have these type of of training videoes please post who they are and the name of the course. I hace went through some of the sites that create training videoes for Flash and I could not find any they seemed to be for web usage and used actions.
ANOTHER NOTE: If you know of any fourms that are for using Flash in feature film making please post them.
*During my searching for using Flash in feature animtion film making I read a lot of toon boom vs flash items (and I am not starting a toon boom vs flash post here) one thing that seems to stand out for toon boom is the camera fly throughs. Not having used Flash CS5 yet can this be done in Flash CS5 or is this where After Effects or Premiere is used to get that type of effect.
*Sense Flash is a vector progam and more than likely the backgrounds and some fore grounds would be made in photoshop (raster) would Flash be used to create the characters and import (if they can be imported) into After Effects or Premiere to be able to use the raster backgroud (looking for a way to use the raster background non-destruticely) and should the the raster from photoshop be brought into After Effects or Premiere as an object layer? Having look at Illustrator's new bristle brush (which create in vectors) it looks like it might be able to get a very painterly background any thoughts on this. Digressing some from Flash.
TIA
John

I found this article
2D Computer Animation Tutorials: Step-by-Step Lessons in Flash
here's the link
http://animation.about.com/od/2danimationtutorials/2D_Computer_Animation_Tutorials_StepbyS tep_Lessons_in_Flash.htm
But it does not say what the settings are to be (again is there a template or something that sets Flash cs5)

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Dynamic file name using FTP adapter

I was trying the dynamic filename scenario taking help from Michal's blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2664. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
If I check the 'adapter specific properties' in both sender and receiver file adapter,then in output I am getting the output filename as same as input filename without using the UDF.
When I used the UDF in mapping,it had absolutely no effect. I am not clear what is the use of the UDF. please let me know where to use the UDF and how to use it.
Thanks
Smith

1. In the mapping program that you are using populate the filename coming from the source into the target in any of the fileds.
2.Sender adapters can write adapter-specific attributes to the message header; these can then be evaluated at configuration time.You can get dynamic filename in UDF in msg mapping....just in ID in comm channel select adapter specific attributes -> filename.....then whatever dynamic name you will create in UDF will be the target filename.....
3. To change the adapter-specific attributes of the message header by using message mappings, you access the <b>required classes of the mapping API by using a mapping runtime constant.</b>
To access the classes DynamicConfiguration and DynamicConfigurationKey by using the mapping runtime constant DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION, use the method getTransformationParameters() of the container object.
You donot need to hard code the value of the filename in the file adapter for your interface.
In SXMB_MONI, when you see the pipeline services you would see that the value of the filename is populated in the message payload.

Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

Good afternoon!
You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
- In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
- Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
- Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
- Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
- tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
- Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
- Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

URGENT project settings to use when creating broadcast quality television

Hi,
What project settings do I use to create broadcast quality television in a widescreen format. Note I use a mac book and also I'm in NZ so we use PAL. I'm only using animation and still pictures so haven't got any video to import.
I work for a charity museum and my boss has asked me (last minute) to make the ad as we have no money for a professional studio. I'm used to making videos for exhibits only.
Many thanks
Amy

Use the PAL DV Widescreen preset.
You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

What are the initial classes used for create DBAdapter in JDeveloper

HI iansan5653
I am not sure if you are trying to make a widget/extension? for the browser or just customize the appearance of the user. I believe you have to create an appearance and then allow the user to download the appearance to change the styles.
I think you may want this webkit -moz-appearance[[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-appearance]]
I did some research on this and the MozillaZine is a great reference for all of the Preferences to add stuff to the panels.

I have also seen extensions made by adding style to these items in the about:config. You could live update the items and see if the css makes changes live in the browser and see how the file renders. [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#UI.]]

Passing parameters in a html page using xwd_tmppg.create

We are in the initial stage of Developing a OLAP Web Application using
Oracle Express Web Agent 6.3.2,Oracle Express Administrator6.3.2.
Flow of our screens are:-
We have a login screen that authenticates user entry to access his assigned role screen.Based on the role the user selects we will be listing out the analysis in a screen that the user could access.
Express Programs are used to create Role and Analysis screen.
User logged information is passed from login to role screen and to
analysis screen using XWD_APPPG.CREATE that accepts parameters.
Moreover this function can only be used to create html page with out
data views.
Now let us come to our problem-
We need to take the user from analysis screen to detailed data view screen that shows the OLAP cube with a back & exit button.As explained earlier you need to use the function XWD_TMPPG.CREATE to create dataview.It is not possible to pass parameters through this function.This function accepts .html as the only parameter.But we need to pass the userid info to get back to analysis screen for the user to select the next analysis.I need the user logged info available in the template file.
Is there any solution for this problem or any other approach to capture the user logged info in the template file???

Hi Aneel,
Thanks for your informative suggestion on how to receive data from
previous page on to the template page using LOCATION.SEARCH.SUBSTRING
function.
I could very successfully get the userid information by implementing
this method within the SCRIPT boundary.
I also want to pass this value to a express program embedded
within the  so that it will enable the
user to go back to List of analysis page.her my footer program will
inturn call the Analysis Page with the userid information.That's my
whole idea.
I tried the following methods to acieve my end result-
1)Tried to store the value in a local variable in the template & passed
it to the express program -- Error thrown was "userid is not attached in
the database"
2)Directly specifed location.search.sunstring in the express program..
Still the same error was thrown
3)Thought of storing the value in the name of hidden object .Still this
will not work out because i need to declare the object in the FORM..
Moreover the value is avialable wihin the JAVA SCRIPT range.Out of this
range template is not able to identify this value.
Any idea Aneel form your end.
Can you let me know how to use hidden object in achieving the result.
I have been working very hard for quite sometime.
Advance thanks.
