Multiple signatures: signature clear disable / lock / read only

I have a form with multiple signatures, for example a Purchase Requisition form... the author needs to buy something so he fills in the form with the product he needs to buy that is worth X amount. He signs it and sends it on to his manager for approval, his manager signs it and sends it on to finance for approval signature. The author now receives this form back with all the signatures he needs, but now he can clear his signature therefore unlocking all the fields so he can change the amount to XX and resign so now it looks like he has a purchase requisition that is approved for XX with everyones approval signatures still in place... How can I stop this from happening? Can I lock certain fields with the second signature that stays locked irrespective if the author clears his signature or not. Or can I disable the 'clear signature' option after signing? If the author clears his signature, can it clear ALL signatures on the form as if resetting all signature fields so they are forced to sign again? Is there ANY way to get around this? Pleeeease help, I can't seem to get this right. I'm using Acrobat 8 Pro to create the form.

I'm here to answer my own question... and for anyone who wants to know, or has a similar issue... Create a button with the following script. It will make the form fields read-only (including signature fields!) except for buttons and comments.
for (var i = 0 ; i < this.numFields ; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)) ;
if (f.type != "button") // do I have to change the word between " " with the name of my button which I put on my PDF? name of button is "Valider"
f.readonly = true ;
I have not tried it on the last signature to see if it would work there as yet. At least the last one to sign can lock the form so the author cannot clear his signature and edit anything.

Attach Operation is disabled in READ ONLY MODE - solman_setup error message

Hello Gurus,
I am in the phase - Connect Diagnostic Agent of the Solman_Setup for Solman 7.0 EHP1.
I don't have any managed system connected yet.
When I try to attach the SMD agent in the SLDAgentCandidates screen...I get two messages as detailed below:
2011.04.13 20:14:12, Managing System 'SL1.SystemHome.sol' is registered in the SLD, Customization of Managing system settings is disabled but it is not a problem to attach the agent.
2011.04.13 20:14:12, Attach operation is disabled in READ ONLY MODE. The current logon user is not a member of Administrator
Please what am I doing wrong because I even gave full authorization (SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW) to user SLDAPIUSER and i have also tried with a few user accounts wilth full authorization like J2EE_ADMIN and my SOLMAN administrator.

Hello John,
You get the ead-only message because your connected to the local SLD. You need to connect to the productive SLD.
But the other message (Customization of Managing system settings is disabled) I get also. Did you solve it already?

You need to make use of Partial Page Rendering (PPR) & SPELL. Modifying the bean property in PFR is not supported in OAF.

File locked/Read-Only issue in OES2LINUX

We have observed that when the novell connection is idle for some time, then it is creating a second connection upon wakeup. Whatever the opened files in the idle connection are getting read-only.
How to activate the idle connection and prevent creating a second connection? we hope by activating the idle connection, read-only problem can be solved.

Dear Mr.Willem,
Thanks for ur reply.
Client OS: Windows 7 Proff sp1,Novell Client : Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows 7 (IR5), but this problem is there with all the versions of client.
We have already tried disabling novell client caching and energy saving. Still the problem is not solved.
I've just changed the value of OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL to '0' on server. I'll get back to u on this soon.

Two generic things that come to mind:
1) Make sure you have oplocks disabled on the server and also have disabled Novell client caching on the workstation.
2) If this is a fixed workstation, disable energy saving on the network card to see if that helps

How to disable the 'Read Only' notification on an Access document when it is opened from within a document library (SP 2010)

Hello,
OK, so I am currently having issues with opening MS Access documents from SP 2010. I have taken an existing database and uploaded it into a document library. Now, when I open this document I get the prompt to open it in either 'Read Only' or 'Edit'.
When I select 'Read Only' I can view the document, however I get the 'Read Only - Save As' notification when the document opens up. I have configured the document both from the source (on the original file) and from within SP to disable notifications - (from
within the Trusted Options selection)
Deleted the document and uploaded it again, and the 'yellow bar' notification is still appearing.
I want to disable the 'Save As' function, or even hide this when the document is opened. Is this at all possible??

Hi Terry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want the yollow bar notification to display when you open Access documents.
This issue seems to be about the client application. Please compare the followings with the things that you did:
1.Open the documents
2.Click File->Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings
3.Click Protected View, unselect ‘Enable Protected View for originating from the Internet’
4.Click Message Bar, select ‘Never show information about blocked content’
5.Click Macro Settings, select ‘Disable all macros without notification’
In addition, as this issue is about Office, I commend you create a new thread in Office forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.
Office forum:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to unlock a locked read-only .txt

On my Macbook Pro I'm trying to edit a .txt file inside a device/external hard drive(it's under the Devices tab in finder) I've tried get info, looked under general and the Locked box was unchecked, I looked under Sharing & Permissions and under Privilege it says Read & Write by my name, but it also says You can only read under the tab. I open the .txt file and I click the unlock option, and a message comes up and says: The file "Plugins.txt" is on a read-only volume and cannot be unlocked. Is there any way I can fix this to edit the file?

If you can highlight and copy the text, just paste it elsewhere.
If you command shift 4 and draw a marquee around the text and click, it make png image file on the desktop, which you can use Preview to change it to jpg.
There are free optical character reader softwares over at MacUpdate.com that then can convert the image text into regular plain ASCII text to paste into any program you please.
Since your running 10.8, you first have to System Preferences > Security > set downloads to "Anywhere" to accept software from sources you trust.
You can try opening the file with the free TextWrangler, or saving the above text into a the same named file with same extension.

Locked (Read Only) on SEND/Email

Hello, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and Adobe
LiveCycle 8. I have created several forms with LiveCycle and have
posted the forms on a server for my group (user) to use to contact
me with appropriate information... I'd like for the user to be able
to complete the information on the form BUT once they press an
Email button for the form to be sent, I'd like for the form to be
Read-Only or LOCKED so that the receiver cannot change the
information. Also, it seems that I should be able to "enable user
rights" in LiveCycle 8, right now I am opening my form(s) in
Acrobat 8 and setting that option. I am enabling user rights so
that the person completing the form and the person receiving the
form can save the form on their workstation. Thanks...

You might have better luck posting to the Acrobat
Professional forum instead of the Acrobat Connect Professional
forum.

Change programmatically textfield to textfield(disabled) , no Read Only

By pressing on a edit link of a report column I enter a page with a form
and would like to disable some of the textfields
I do not like to make them READ-ONLY , but to switch from
Text Field --> Text Field(disabled, saves state).
Maybe this is possible by using javascript ?
Any ideas ??

Hello,
you were right this is a solution.
Only the textfield(disabled,save state) has not a database column as source but
the source is the normal textfield. Or else there is a conflict because two textfields
address the same database column...
I wonder if it is possible to change the html properties of a textfield (input) conditionally, caus there exists the html property "disabled".

Trouble with locked/read only files and folders

After reinstalling OSX I have an external harddrive with locked files and folders. I´ve heard that it is possible to unlock all files and folders from Terminal (it will take hours to unlock manually). Anyone who knows a script that will set read and write access to all files and folders on a hard drive?

Multiple Digital Signatures in Adobe Acrobat XI - PDF locks after first signature is saved

I am working with a fillable pdf that was set up by an administrator to have multiple DIGITAL ID/SIGNATURES inputted, i.e. it does not allow images of signatures or text; when you click on the signature field, it ONLY prompts the insertion of a Digital ID. This form requires multiple signatures and editing/text from diverse people. I need to sign it and then circulate it to these other people. For some reason, when I insert the first digital ID and save it, the pdf becomes locked - it is no longer fillable, and no one else can edit or even insert their own signatures. What can I do to allow editing/additional signatures to be inputted after putting in my signature and saving the document? PLEASE HELP.

I don't know where I could post it...Could you please tell me how I might check if signature fields are set to "read only" or not? I have been looking through this pdf for so long and I don't even see the option to do that. When I click on the signature field, it just prompts me to insert the digital signature...there isn't much information displayed at all.

Changing multiple Read Only folders to Read/Write

I have a rather large group of folders that are currently locked as Read Only which I need to change the names...I can do this on a one by one basis, but every single time I have to Get Info, Unlock, Enter Admin Password, Change Permission, Lock - then finally get to the task at hand.
This is very tedious - is there any way to do the whole group of folders at once?

Thank you, helpful but I get "You Have Mixed Access"....so I must still have to change them individually - or move all the locked/read only ones into a folder/directory of their own and try again...

Best practice for read-only functionality

Hi,
I'm part of the development team of a system with about 100 screens. The customer would like us to add some read-only functionality to the system, so that certain users are able to access the screens but not change any of the data on them. We already have policies in place on the database level that keeps read-only users from saving data, but it's not very user friendly to allow users to change data on a screen, only to tell them that they're not allowed to save those changes once they try to do so. It would clearly be better if all components are rendered as read-only components for read-only users, making them unable to make any data changes in the first place.
User privileges in the system are controlled by roles defined and set in the system (not ADF roles or Weblogic roles). At any given time and place, it's possible to check whether the current user has a certain role. We already use this in a number of places to make it possible to control which user has access to which screens. In a few places we even control which functionality should be enabled for the current user within a screen, but mostly the access control is currently on the screen level. With read-only users getting access to all screens, it seems we will need lot of extra in-screen access control to keep these users from changing anything.
But what's the best practice here? One way to go would be to add some logic to every single active component on every single screen, to determine whether it should be rendered as active or disabled/read-only. But that would require a lot of extra coding.
So my question is: Is there a smarter way to do this? Maybe something done through skinning? Or something else?
(I'm not sure how relevant this is for this sort of question, but we're currently using JDev 11.1.1.4.0, and expect to upgrade to 11.1.1.6.0 within the next 6 months)
Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Guna, Puthanampatti and Don,
Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm currently looking into implementing something along the lines of what Guna has suggested:
Our application consists of a number of individual work spaces that are deployed as adflibs which have all been added to a "master application work space", and the master application is deployed as an .ear file. Most of the individual work spaces are for all the different functional areas of the application, with their own task flows, page fragments etc. The rest are work spaces with common functionality, like datamodel (entity definitions), utility methods, page templates, and framework extensions. In the latter, we have defined custom classes for all the base classes (somewhat similar to what Don describes, I believe).
In our custom class for ViewRowImpl, I have added an isAttributeUpdateable method, and in our custom class for ApplicationModuleImpl I have added an isReadOnlyUser method. The isAttributeUpdateable method uses the isReadOnlyUser method to determine if the current user is a read-only user or not; if the user is a read-only user the isAttributeUpdateable method will return false, otherwise true. The isReadOnlyUser method in our base class is just a dummy method that always returns true. But in the ApplicationModuleImpl classes of our individual work spaces, i've written an override for isReadOnlyUser, giving the answer that is relevant for the work space in question (for instance, whether or not the current user has the role "User Administrator").
That pretty much takes care of all input fields in tables and forms, which is a big step in the right direction. This still leaves some work to be done for components that are not directly linked to view object attributes (like buttons), but I guess that can't be helped. Also, there are a few of the work spaces that contain a number of pages that are related to different user privileges (as in: page 1 requires user privilege A, and page 2 requires user privilege B); in these cases I will have to do something different than just writing an override in the "local" ApplicationModuleImpl class.
@Don: What you describe seems to be pretty close in functionality to what we already have, though your implementation is different from ours. You have used your custom base ApplicationModuleImpl class to keep read-only users from committing changes. We use Virtual Private Database and database policies to the same end: If a user without the required full-access role tries to commit data it will cause a database error, which we then handle in the application (so the user gets a message like "You don't have the required privileges to changes this data", rather than an ORA message). Unfortunately, our customers are not content with this. They want a solution where all input fields and most of the buttons etc. are disabled for read-only users, and that's why I'm looking into the best/smartest way to do this.
@Puthanampatti: We already use something similar to what you're suggesting. The challenge I'm currently facing is how best to disable/enable components based on the current user's roles, not how to determine and store those roles.
Best regards,
Andreas

Attachment converting to Read Only

Hello,
I've created a form in livecycle that has signature fields. The actual pdf has a microsoft word document (.doc) attached to it so people can add links to the form. When I open the form and fill it out, then open the attachment and add links everything works fine. However, when I sign the pdf form using the signature field, someone else who opens the pdf form and then the word document attachment can only see the attachment in Read Only mode. Is there a way to stop the addition of a signature from making the attachment Read Only?

How do i shut off the read-only mode in iCal?

I don't what happened but suddenly I cannot add any new entries to my iCal. I get a error prompt that says, "READ-ONLY CALENDAR - You cannot change events or To Do in a read-only calendar." How do I disable this read-only feature so I can use my iCal again. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hyun, I suspect you just need to select another calendar in the panel on the left (eg Home). Subscribed to, and iCal Birthday calendars are read-only.

Search help unavailable in Read-only input field since EHP4

Dear Experts!
I have a problem with a Portal page since the deploy of the EHP4. The page has standard input fields with Search Helps. I needed to have the input field non-modifiable so the user would have to use the search help to get the proper information.
Prior to the EHP4 installation, I set the input field to Read Only in the WebDynpro explorer, this disabled the editing while permitting the user to use the Search Help.
Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
Do you know if there is a way to allow the search help on a read only field?
Thanks so much for your answer,
Brian Foster.

>Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
This was a conscious design decision on SAP's part that disabled or read-only fields should no longer fire value help. I am aware that this situation was used in the past as you describe. It is even still used in SE80 for the Web Dynpro ABAP wizards. However usability studies showed that this often confused end users and therefore it is no longer allowed. The field must be input enabled to fire the attached serach help.
