PDF Private Data

Can you folks point me in the direction of PDF private data? I am already an experienced user/developer of Custom Properties, but now I need to save some heavier stuff out of the user's reach.
In essence, I will be creating the private data with JavaScript and it will be retrieved by an Acrobat plugin.
For clarity: what I am looking for is something equivalent to TIFF Private Tags.
Thanks,

I think your bottleneck here will be storing the data with JavaScript. Since JavaScript has limited access to the PDF there are only so many places you can store extra data with JavaScript. You cannot create custom Cos objects to store data as you would with a plug-in, so your best bet with JavaScript would be to somehow encode the data you want into the XMP metadata or into hidden form fields.

Possible to prevent Acrobat 7 saving private data from a form to temp file?

I have a PDF order form with interactive fields that I want to post on my client's website. The form, created in Acrobat 7, is meant to be completed online then printed for faxing or mailing. It includes a field for a VISA number. I notice that once the form is filled in, the information persists even after closing and re-opening the PDF and the browser (in Windows XP, which I use, at least). If a user fills this form out at home, no problem. However, if a user fills it out at a public place such as an internet cafe, this is disastrous because anyone who opens the PDF thereafter will see the previous user's private information.
Since I have no control over where users will be opening and completing this order form, is there any way I can set the PDF form to "purge" the field data when the file is closed, instead of saving it?
Private data and especially credit card fraud is such a sensitive issue that any help would be much appreciated.

You can clear the fields on the document will close event.

A message will pop up (Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!) and the tab I was on will close out and reopen in a new window. Why is it happening and how do I stop it?

Okay, I will have a window open with 4 tabs open. At first, everything is fine, but after a day or so, a message will pop up on screen saying "'''Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!'''" and after you close it out, the tab you were on will close and reopen in it's own window. I then have to shut down all both old and new windows and open a new window with my original 4 tabs again. It will work fine until a few days pass and it starts over again.

This method need a list o all the control names inside the class data to search for the initial value inside a configuration file (config.ini), the key on the configuration file will be the name of the control.
Thanks.

You are already making the overriding method just because you have to write to the Bundle By Name. And then how are you going to handle all of the data types the keys could be. You are making things more difficult than it should be for really very little benefit.

After updating Firefox I am getting this message any time I do anything "Exc in ev handl:Error: Bad NPObject as private data"

This error happens each time I use Mozilla. especially when I click on an extension or try to work in any of my e-mail accounts (Yahoo, Gmail, or RCN). Sometimes I am able to continue by just clicking OK and other times it prevents me from completing my task. This started happening right after I downloaded and installed your latest version of Firefox. I see others are having the same problem. Error message is "Exc in ev handl:Error: Bad NPObject as private data"

That issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

Hi Sandra,
Below is the requirement from Client:
1. PDF and Tif files will be attached to order (transaction CRMD_ORDER).
2. I have to pick the PDF and TIF attachments mentioned above using a batch report.
3. Then this batch report will create a spool for the PDF file and TIF file attachements.
4. Then the spool will be picked by another program and print them together in night.
I hope it is clear now?
Things I have done:

Firefox 7.0.1 multiple plugin-container.exe's open when private data is cleared.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/823728]]</blockquote>
Once again it's happening, although it's not causing me any serious problems it's a bug none the less. Occasionally when I clear my private data multiple plugin-container.exe's will open. Although this time for the most part the maximum I've seen is 4 or 5. Unlike the max of 9 that occurred with version 4. In addition I noticed that it was either with version 5 or 6 that this issue was solved. As when I cleared private data only 1 plugin-container.exe opened.

I can't believe this is still happening. For a while there with version 6.0 I think it was fixed. Now however that I've updated to 7.0.1 it's once again a regular occurrence.

LVOOP Parent private data returned when child instance created from constant

I have created one Parent class, and one Child class. For each of these classes, I have created a member VI that is a constructor, whose purpose will be to initialize some constants for each class, and return the class instance. I also have a member accessor VI for each class that returns the private data of the class (in this case a single string for each class).
The Parent class's private data "String" is set to"Parent text" as the default value.
The Child class's private data "Child String" is set to"Child Text" as the default value.
The Parent class constructor works just fine. For testing purposes, I return the text from directly unbundling in the constructor VI, and as returned from the accessor VI. The Parent constructor starts from a class constant.
However, in the case of the Child class constructor, if I start from a class constant, directly unbundling the private data (using an Unbundle By Name function, and choosing "Child String" as the element), I get the Parent's private data!
If I use the Child class's member VI to retrieve the text, I get the Child's private data.
If I change the constructor to start from a class Control instead of a class Constant, I get the Child's private data.
This only occurs before the Child class has existed as a
Control/Indicator. i.e. If I unbundle the private data after the class
is returned by any member VI, I get the correct Child private data. So obviously something changes once the class "data" has been a control at some point.
I am using Labview 8.6.1, Windows XP
I have attached a small project that illustrates the problem I am encountering, without actually doing any initialization, just reading.
Is this the intended behaviour? Why does it matter if I start with a class constant instead of a class control? When you drag from the Project window to the Block diagram, you always get a constant.
Solved!

Although I was able to replicate your issue in LabVIEW 8.6.1, it appeared to run correctly in 2009. I could not find a CAR ID but at this point can only assume that the behavior was not intended but is fixed in 2009.
Let me know if you need me to find any further details.

Is there a way to sort pdf by date created rather than by date added?

In iBooks in Mavericks, is there a way to sort pdf by date created rather than by date added?

I noticed that the "Year" information and "Release Date" information are usually wrong.
For example, the song "The Twist" by Chubby Checker has 2007 for the year and 3/5/2007 as the release date. I understand that this is the release date of the greatest hits compilation album, but not the song.
Is there any way to change the dates so that I can sort by year? I would like 60s songs to appear with a 1960s year or release date.

PDF form data not visible when opened in Illustrator CS5

I've been searching the forums but have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I've created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The PDF form fields are then populated with data via Netsuite. When I open the PDF (with data) in Acrobat all of the information shows up, however when I open the PDF in Illustrator CS5 the field data is not visible. Is there a way to force the data to be visible when opened in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

Accessing protected and private data of a class

Hi friends,
I have writen a sample code in oops abap but iam facing some problem.
CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
    public SECTION.
      DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
      METHODS : PUBLIC.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
     METHOD : PUBLIC.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
          VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
     ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
    DATA :
           O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
           CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
           CALL METHOD O_MAIN->PUBLIC.
now its working fine as public methods can be access by all the people where as protected methods can be access by class and subclass so i can inherit the properties of above class and access the protected data.
where as to access private data , private data can be access by class itself...
so now how do i access the private data within the class...ie : how do i get the above output when i use a private section instead of public..
            CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
    private SECTION.
      DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
      METHODS : Private.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
     METHOD : Private.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
          VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
     ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
    DATA :
           O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
           CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
           CALL METHOD O_MAIN->Private.
iam getting a error saying you cannot access the private section...
now private section can be accessed within the class but nt by others...
to access the private section within the class how should i correct it...
Regards
kumar

HAI,
Private attributes or methods can be accessed directly by the Object but within the Scope of the Class, but not outside.
Look at this:
CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
public SECTION.
METHODS : Public.
private SECTION.
DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
METHODS : Private.
ENDCLASS. " END of CLASS DEFINITION
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD : Public.
CALL METHOD Private.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD : Private.
WRITE : /5 VAR1.
VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
WRITE : /5 VAR1.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. " END of CLASS IMPLEMENTATION
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA: O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
CALL METHOD O_MAIN->Public.
PS: If there is any better alternative solution please share it .
Best Regards,

Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! How do I ge rid of this?

Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! I get this error when opening and closing tabs. It only happens when using Firefox. I am running 7.0.1 on a 64 bit version of windows. While researching this problem I discovered thousands of people have the problem. This just started recently. No real fixes or causes have been found. One solution listed was to disable McAfee site adviser which I use and have no plans to remove. I really like Firefox but if I must choose between it and Site adviser I'll have to switch to another browser.

Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
for "McAfee Site Advisor".
(Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

I am gettng the following popup when using firfox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

In the past few days I have been getting the following popup when I use firefox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!
I assume it came from your latest update. I have windows vista with a 64 bit processor, and I am using the latest version of firefox. I checked to see if I was getting the same error message with explorer and I am not. It appears to be some sort of conflict with java script. Can this be corrected?

re: recommendation -- "Remove McAfee Site Advisor and other extensions/plugins reported in the following lists of Blocked/Problematic extension: "
NO -- I use it to protect my surfing! Why must FireFox insist on constantly breaking 3-rd party vendor apps!?! Even IE doesn't do this.
For all the ballyhoo about FF and how great it is -- it ISN'T when it comes to how it supports other companies apps. (RealPlayer, Google, McAfee, etc.)
Shame on them. I shouldn't have to give up functionality, and in this case protection -- just to use FF

Why do I get the following msg's on startup start Firefox? (1) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function; (2) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function; (3) Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

I get the following msg's. This happening more often, and when I back out to restart it may take a couple of times so that I do not get the error msg's?
Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function

Class VIs for access to private Data: reentrant or not?

I just created in a class some VIs for access to private data (my German translation). I'm talking about these VIs, which enable you to connect your class object to a property node to read or write private class data. These VIs are by default non-reentrant. My question is: what happens, if I try to access two objects of the same class with these property nodes? Does the second object have to wait for the first one to be read? If yes, can I circumvent this by making these VIs reentrant?

In theory yes. In pratice it will depend on what you are doing in the private method and the methods it calls.
