PDF's are becoming locked if someone has it open and another user tries to overwrite
We have a regional office seeing numerous issues with PDF files. The scenario is an engineer has a PDF open for review. Another user attempts to overwrite the PDF using another application. They get an error message that states the PDF cannot be overwritten (as expected). The odd thing is that once the engineer closes the PDF document the PDF remains locked and they are unable to update. We've checked on the server side and there are no signs that the document is locked or read-only. The only way they can release the lock on the file is to reboot the machine that had the PDF open for viewing. Any idea what might be going on? Seems odd. Like I said we only see the issue when someone tries to overwrite the file when it's open for viewing. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Hi,
Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat installed on your machine?

Can't delete a PDF on a network drive when someone has it open???
I am trying to like PDFs and the benefit they provide, but someone please explain to me why a
file that is meant to be a read-only file, cannot be deleted if someone has it open. Everyone
has read-only access to this drive where the PDF resides, yet when someone opens it, I cannot delete the file. Why
is this, and is there a workaround? Or at the very least, the ability to see WHO has it open? I am working with Excel files, and
it seems much easier to leave it in Excel for this very reason. At least if someone tries to open it, it forces them to open it in read-only
, allowing me the ability to replace that file, rename it, delete it, whatever. Seems like there has to be a fix. If I publish a PDF to a network drive, and realize there is a mistake, and 50 people have now opened it, are you telling me there is nothing I can do?! Doesn't make any sense. Please help!Read-only only means they can't save any changes.
Excel probably creates a local copy of the file and allows the users on work
on that, while the real file remains unlocked.
Anyway, I'm not an Acrobat engineer so all of this is just guesswork.
If you want, you can ask Adobe to change this behavior here:

I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?
Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.
Here's a Link for more information : Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords

Failing to create an email with outlook interop when outlook has been opened by another user account
Hello
I have an addin that customizes the excel ribbon. I added a button so that when the user clicks it, a new outlook message windows pops up with some default information on the email body, CCs, etc.
The problem is that if outlook is already running and it's running under another user account different from the one that was used to open excel (e.g. after opening excel i open outlook with shift + right click and then "Run As..."); i get an exception upon
instantiating the outlook interop object:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
The exception message reads:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
What can i do to prevent this issue from happening?
ThanksIn that situation I would test first for an existing Outlook process running and hook into it if it is running. If it's not running then I'd use new to create an Outlook session. There can only be one Outlook session running
at a time.
This sort of code will do the trick for you I think:
System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK");
int collCount = processes.Length;
if (collCount != 0)
// Outlook already running, hook into the Outlook instance
outlookApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")
as Outlook.Application;
An else there would create a new Outlook.Application object.

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)
It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

It seems that my iCloud address has been duplicated to another user in the UK? I'm in NZ how can I resolve this
I think it's most probable that someone is giving out your address by mistake: in which case they wouldn't be receiving any of the emails. Was there any indication that there had been any response? - a follow-up message, for example?
You could try contacting iCloud Support, though I don't know how much help you will get.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee. You could try arguing that if there is indeed a duplication it's their fault, as it certainly shouldn't happen, and you therefore shouldn't be charged. -

Hi Grandmaz5,
If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/System-Center-Service-fca7af29
A few months ago on the Technet Gallery, I submitted this custom control to be used on SCSM console forms. The purpose of the control is to eliminate the "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process" error
message that we all have seen at least once (a day :) ).
The details are in the gallery description (along with installation instructions for existing forms and your own custom forms).
Here's a "short" description (nothing I ever post here is short :) ): This is a custom control that can be applied to an SCSM form like the Service Request form or Windows Computer form or your own custom form built with the authoring tool or Visual
Studio. When you click "OK" or "Apply" on the form, this control scans the form and Service Manager's database for any changes to the object you have open. If a property that _you_ have changed on the form was _also_ changed in the CMDB
(by a workflow or another user), this control will present a dialog box letting you know what happened. It will also let you choose which value to keep (yours, theirs, or the original value).
Just as importantly (and important in a greater percentage of cases), if a workflow changes a "background" property (like FirstAssignedDate) while you have the form open and you click OK, the control will detect the change and allow the form submission
to go through while keeping your changes and the FirstAssignedDate change that the workflow made. You won't get an error message or even a warning. And most importantly, you won't lose your changes.
That's where the "optimistic" part of the control's name comes from. It applies optimistic concurrency control to SCSM forms, while also providing an anti-collision interface for you to use so you no longer lose any of your changes.
Furthermore, this control will work on related items that are opened in memory; for example, the activities on a Service Request. So if you change an activity's title while the workflow engine sets it in progress, you won't get an error. The activity will
be in progress and will get your new title when you click OK or Apply.
Lastly, (and I admit this part is getting into the deep inner workings of console forms) if your form loads a sub projection at run time (to the root object) this control will detect the load and treat that sub projection as if it were apart of the original
form all along.
I've gotten a little feedback about this control, but I'd like to get more since it's a work in progress. So, I'm announcing it here on the forums. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them here. Thanks,
folks!
Oh, and to answer the most common question right away: It's free. There is no paid version or anything like that. This is something I built for the SCSM community.Great job!
Will definitely try it out.
Best regards,

I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes and it won't sync
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Form based on a view - FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user.
Hi All,
I am hoping that somebody can help me with this problem that is occurring only when I try an update a record in forms.
I have a block based on a join-view, I can insert no problems, but I can only update certain records within the block. If I come across a second record that is similar to the first except for primary key and a couple of other values and try and update that record forms gives me the following message FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user. Re-query to see change.
The first record I have no problems in updating and I have followed a number of suggestions to get this to work, like setting the key-mode of the block to updateable/non-updateable and setting the primary key to 'yes' for some of the database items. I have also created procedures within the database that are called by triggers on-insert, on-update etc.
If anybody has any ideas how I can solve this I would be happy to hear your suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Scott.Scott,
beside of
1) In the block properties change the Key Mode property of the block to be Non-Updatable Primary Key
2) Mark one or more columns as Primary Key in the item Property Palette - in this instance you would set the property for Empno.
Enforce Primary Key = no
Key Mode = Unique
Update Changed Columns Only = Yes
I found a bug entry that is supposed to be fixed in Patch 9 of Forms 6i (assuming you are running 6i). So if you could try with a more recent Patch set (e.g. 14) then probably the problem will go away.

Adobe Pro XI - using Windows 7 Pro OS
When a PDF document is opened from Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, notations made, any type of changes, it cannot be saved until Windows Explorer is fully closed. If you try to save the document, you receive the following error - "The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened. Please save the document with a different name or in a differnt folder. " I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and it is not open multiple times. Once you fully close Windows Explorer, and try to save the document, it saves without a problem.
Are there settings in either Adobe Pro XI or Windows that will allow you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide. This error is a frustration since I open all my documents through Windows Explorer.[discussion moved to Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum]

"FRM:40654 Record has been updated by another user" - Error in POST-QUERY
Hi,
I'm using Forms version 6.0.8.26.0
In one of the forms, its data block is based on a view.
In POST-QUERY trigger, I try to change the value for a database item. This operation results in following error:
"FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user. Re-query to see change."
After this message the value of the item is automatically being set back to what was queried from the DB.
I tried setting the DML Returning Value to 'Yes'. It doesn't help :(
Any suggestions please?

Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.
I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.
