OS X: Locked ID document remains editable?

CS 6, Yosemite
In OS X, when you lock a document in the finder, it effectively makes it read-only, yet when I lock my InDesign file, I can freely edit it without getting any dialog box warning me of the lock status, or offering me to unlock/duplicate the file as other apps allow.
Anyone know about this?
thank you,
John

wliter, those Event reports from Windows are essentially meaningless (:-().
The only useful item from them is the faulting module.
I reproduced this on a Mac under CS5 and we get this stack trace:

So apparently it's trying to close a window, and then something else breaks. Huh.

Lock pages document while editing

Hi,
I need to have multiple users contribute to the same pages document. The document has been placed on a network share. Currently Pages 09 allows different people in different offices open the same document, make changes and save. When they do that the changes made by other users who have it open at the same time are discarded.
If the document is actively being modified by one person I'd like to prevent it from being edited by anyone else.
Word on the PC only allows others to open it in read only mode if someone else currently has it open. It would be great if I could make pages do that.
Thank you!

Called Apple support, talked to pages department. According to the representative I spoke with, pages is designed for individual single users, not necessarily schools or corporate collaborative multi-user environments.
The rep said a feature request would be sent to engineering regarding locking the document so multiple people can't edit it at the same time discarding each others changes. I need to purchase office 2011 and do some testing in the mean time I guess.
Thank you!

Customizing settings for parked document for edit lock while in workflow

Hi all,
I want to lock a parked document from edit while in workflow, I have seen in my previous project that if any document in workflow if try to change it used to give a message that 'document in wirkflow'. how to set this setting for parked documents using FIPP.
Thanks

Hi,
Please read note 169732.
It is normal that you get this errror message "Park document blocked xxxxxx" if you try to park a document for which "Release necessary" is set but "Released" flag is not set.
Normally in workflow the "Released" flag is set in a background step right before the workflow posts the documents.

Why can I not save a locked Numbers document?

My Numbers is weird, slow and almost impossible to get used to. That's why I now
I still use Appleworks Spreadsheets on my Powermac for doing daily accounting updates, and
only then import a copy to Numbers for keeping copies on my MacBookAir.
I created a template in Numbers, open it for every import, then copy the content of the import
to the template. The template is named Copy 0.
To do that I will import say "12Dec01", then need to open "Copy 0" and duplicate it (so I will not lose this template) then rename the duplicate to "12Dec01". I
then open the imported "12Dec01" and copy its content, then paste it into the renamed duplicate, then "lock" that document.
I now want to save it, but Numbers will not let me save an open document that has been locked.!!!
Why lock it if a locked document cannot be saved? Besides this issue of locking, I now have 4 open documents on the desktop: The import, Copy 0, the Duplicate of it, and the Renamed copy of it.
You know what? In Appleworks you would only have 1 document open which you "save as" with what ever name (in whatever condition of progress you want to save it), wherever to.
Accidentally, I found I can save a locked document but only after doing all these extra steps: In order to lock the document it has to be closed and saved unlocked to a folder first, then opened up again, and only then it can be locked!
This process reminds me of the old DOS systems, which questiioned everything you wanted to do with "do you really want to do that?"
I wonder whether my Numbers is damaged, or whether it has a good reason to be that way?
Or maybe I missed some instructions?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Documents remain in GenWWW status and conversion error message says success

Hi,
I have instaled UCM 11.1.1.4 and the situation is that documents remains in GenWWW status, the
conversion error message says success . In Ibr logs says everything went perfect, in UCM logs isn't recorded any error.
Anyone have a clue to solve this problem?
Update:
When runnig IdcAnalyse appears the following error:
./IdcAnalyze -filesystem
FileSystemFileStore:1.0.0.0 started.

Is this error related with the documents remain in GenWWW?
Thanks

Usually this issue is seen when the IBR's cannot keep up with the load and after a defined amount of time, the refineryjobs entries are cleared while the IBR's might still hold this content item.
If you do what Srinath proposes the refinery jobs is cleared as well as the queues on the IBR. This will not fix the issue with the documents in GenWWW, but it will make the way clear for (new) documents to be (Re-)submitted for conversion. IdcAnalyze should then be able to create a IdcCommand file with resubmit_for_conversion calls for all the documents in GenWWW state. Running this IdcCommand file should then convert all the documents that were "stuck" in GenWWW.

Unable to edit document using "Edit with Word" option

Hi All,
i am having an issue with Office web apps. i am using SharePoint 2013 and Office web apps 2013. all the configurations have been done successfully. but i have a different kind of issue.
i am able to open documents in browser
i am able to edit document using " edit with word/excel web" option
but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
i have Office 2010 installed on my local machine.
do we need to have MS office of 2013 version? or is there anything missing from configuration part.
Please help me.
Thank You,
Bhaskar.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not use the "edit with word/excel" option.
I had tested the issue with the Office 2010, the option worked well.
You don’t need to install the Office 2013 to use this option.
What did you mean “but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
Did you mean the option gray out? Did the issue occur in other browsers?
You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

How To Restore A Locked Pages Document ? ( I Forgot The Pass )

How To Restore A Locked Pages Document ? ( I Forgot The Pass ) I Created A Documents Of My Personal Expense And Locked it So That No One Could See it !! But Apparently Now Even i Don't Remember The Pass So if Someone Could Please help Me On How To Regain Access of That Locked Documents ? ( Thanks in Advance )

Once you set a Pages document password, you will need it again to unlock the document. There is no other available unlocking technique, as many before you have discovered. Tell your mind to recall your document password, and then stop trying to remember it. Let your subconscious retrieve it.
In the future, keep a secure, analog list of your passwords as backup.

Dave,
I will +1 Pixelan's products. They are great, simple, and have about the best support that I know of. When you explore, say Pixelan's SpiceMaster, dig deeply. Things appear rather mundane, on the surface, but there is so very much power lurking, just below the surface. I could almost imagine a 1000 page manual to cover every possible aspect of that program... Every time that I use it, I learn something new, and wonderful.
Good luck,
Hunt

Opening a document in editable format

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to set the default for Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 to open documents in edit able format? I am trying to simplify the process of opening and completing forms as easy as possible.
Thanks,
John

The form needs to have form fields added (like the IRS forms). This can be done in Acrobat with the tools>advanced editing, select the form field of interest. You can also create forms in Designer (no longer being able to edit the PDF in Acrobat) using the FORMS button under the button just to the right of tools (sorry, this machine only had AA5 and the menus are different). I would use the Acrobat forms myself, but there are many that use Designer, particularly since Adobe has placed a FORMS button under the menu I could not remember. Thus folks think that is the only way to create forms.
When the form is saved in Acrobat (if you have AA8 and want backward compatibility, use Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer to save the file with backward compatibility). When the form is opened, you should simply have to locate the cursor over a form field and fill it in. If there are standard entries, you could also use list fields or just pre-fill a field. Bill
