PDF Security in Webi Publicaiton

Hi,
We are using boxir3.1 version of Business Objects. We have a requirement to ensure security of PDF, generated through publication. We created reports in webi and publish to users email.
We have to ensure security features like password protection, disable print etc.
Is this possible in webi publication. I know in crystal publication password protection feature is there.
Why this feature is not there in webi? Can i exted this feature to webi publication?
What about the disabling the print option.
Please comment on these questions
Regards
Baby

This functionality is currently not supported by SAP Business Objects 3.1, however you can apply security after the pdf is generated. In BO 4.0 this functionality exists. Password protection can also be done from the Adboe side. Kindly refer SAP note 1302401 to verify the same.
You can also try to secure the pdf-instances of report scheduling in BO trough deactivating the PDF-SecurityOption "PdfWriter.AllowCopy"
publication extensions should offer this possibility to secure pdf-files by scheduling. Unfortunately only for Crystal Reports files. But we need it for Web Intelligence docs ..
SAP also offers an SDK sample for this purpose ..
[SAP Sample Code: Java Enterprise BE12 Create-Publication CR-PDF |www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/9074bb6f-3857-2c10-bcab-be13735881d4]
the interesting part of this sample is the following ..
mergeOption.securityOption = new SecurityOption(PDF_USER_PASSWORD, PDF_OWNER_PASSWORD, PdfWriter.AllowCopy| PdfWriter.AllowPrinting | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders)

Why can't I open a pdf from a web-site

Windows 7 Home is my operating system. Internet Explorer 10 is my browser. I cannot open a pdf file off my VISA account web-site. I have downloaded and agreed to the latest Adobe Reader XI (I also have Adobe X, should I uninstall it?) When I try to open the pdf file which is my monthly VISA statement, I get this message: "To help protect your security, your web browser has blocked this website from displaying non-secure content." I have also turned off the pop-up blocker. Nothing works. Can anyone help. I am a novice on computer technology, so I don't know much about the way the computer works (my husband is the expert in this household, but he's recovering from heart surgery and is not yet able to think through these situations). I thought I already posted this problem, but I can't find my post.

Firefox is a good browser, but it comes with its own PDF viewer, which may not display PDF files correctly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
If you want to continue to use Internet Explorer, you may want to lower its security settings; see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Change-Internet-Explorer-Security-settings

Security in Web services

I am new to web services so please pardon me if what I am asking is really dumb.....
I have created a simple PL/SQL web service using JDeveloper that I have published to an installation of 9iAS. My client is calling this URL directly passing the parameters in the URL and getting the SOAP message back. Everything works great.
Now I need to secure this somehow. This is an internal application, so I am not terribly concerned with security, but we do need something that will prevent somebody who stumbles across this URL to start using it.
I have read a lot of documentation on securing web services, but it all seems to be around creating clients, but I don't want a client, I just want to be able to call the URL directly from external systems programmatically.
One option is obviously to pass username / pw in as parameters and then validate this in PL/SQL, but this is obviously not very secure.
Another things I was thinking was to use the owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_ADDR') inside by PL?SQL function to get the IP Address of the client calling and then validate this to make sure this client is allowed to access the web service. This function returns ORA-06502. Does anybody know anything about how to get the IP address of the client calling? I know there are ways to limit access to certain IP addresses on the web server level, but this server is used for other things so I don’t want to do that.
Is there anything else I can do to secure a web service like this?
Any help is appreciated.

Copy protection for either the pdf slideshow or web flash

From what I can tell so far there is'nt any way to secure the pdf security
from within lightroom nor enable some kind of security in web flash that wont allow printing of images. Does anyone know if there is a way to secure these so my images are'nt stolen off of the web from my galleries?
Thanks in advance

I also would like to know what good adding security (against printing) to a pdf would do?
As previously said, if you can view the images you can "steal" them or print them.
There are apps that you can download to remove the protection on pdf's.
(I even know of a way using "Save as" in one of the apps that come installed on the Mac's ;-)
The best you can do is to watermark your images and be restrictive with the viewing size.
Or to password protect the whole web gallery against viewing and only give out passwords to trusted people.

PDF Security Questions

Hi All,
I have several questions about the PDF security:
1. Does anybody know any good pdf security web seminars? Please give me the link.
2. I sell my journals (pdf version) to my clients but I want to prevent them from copying my journals to the others (FYI, I have adobe Pro). I would like to restrict my clients to open the pdf only in their computers not the others. How can I use adobe to do that? Would you please suggest any security options that I can use?
Thank you very much for your information in advance. It is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Eddy

Adobe security is mostly honored only by other Adobe products. It doesn't matter what steps you take in Acrobat, they can be bypassed in less than a minute by free, easy to find applications.
If this is really a concern, you wil want to look in to a Digital Rights Management solution. Adobe DOES have a solution available but I won't speak for the quality of it since I have never used it.

Unable to call WSS (WS-Security) enabled Web Service using UTL_DBWS

We are attempting to call a WSS (WS-Security) enabled Web Service from PL/SQL using the UTL_DBWS package (see [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_dbws.htm#CHDIDGJH] ). We are doing this in similar fashion to [http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/utl_dbws10g.php] with calls to utl_dbws.create_service, utl_dbws.create_call and utl_dbws.invoke.
Using this method we can successfully call an unsecured Web Service, but calls to WSS-enabled Web Services fail. We are currently using Oracle Database 10.2.0.3.
The failure we are getting is:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException:
com.sun.xml.wss.XWSSecurityException: Message does not conform to configured
policy ( AuthenticationTokenPolicy(S) ): No Security Header found;nested
exception is com.sun.xml.wss.XWSSecurityException:
com.sun.xml.wss.XWSSecurityException: Message does not conform to configured
policy ( AuthenticationTokenPlicy(S) ): No Security Header found
Apparently UTL_DBWS does not support calling WSS enabled services, although this doesn't appear to be an officially recognised position. Does anyone know if Oracle are planning to support this soon (if ever)? Looking at Re: Calling WS from PL/SQL using WS-security suggests that support has been considered before, but not yet realised.
Thanks,
Tom

Having raised a Service Request with Oracle support on this, I got the following response from Oracle Development (On unpublished bug [8542959|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=BUG&p_id=8542959]):
Development has confirmed that WS-Security is not supported through UTL_DBWS. They have also acknowledged that this is not documented and they will change the official Oracle documentation will reflect this fact. From what is being stated, it would appear that there is no plan to support the use of WS-Security through UTL_DBWS in any release in the near future.
So, in short, without developing your own home-grown SOAP request, there is no way to call a WSS enabled web service from within PL/SQL.

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

Adobe Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF's in Web browser.

Does any one came accross the following message trying to view PDF's in web browser? "Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF documents in Web browser. Please exit the Acrobat?Reader application and try again". Thanks for your help! Barbara

How do I secure my web browsing on public wifi using a home server?

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.3.2. The Mac Mini currently acts as a media centre, running OS X 10.6.7. It is permanently connected to the internet. I have a static IP address (though goodness knows my ISP insists it changes every 15 days lol), and an Airport Extreme Base Station (Gigabit).
I'd like to secure my web browsing when using public wifi by getting my iPhone to pass all data over a secure connection via my Mac Mini. Might someone tell me how to do that? I'd rather use software already included with OS X where possible. (PS: I know that my data becomes clear-text again once it leaves my Mac Mini).
I'm also thinking of implementing a proxy server on the Mac Mini (Privoxy) to help manage ads and cookies on my LAN. Would it be possible to set it up so that my iPhone could take advantage of that proxy and the secure connection when using public wifi? Cos that'd be great! Cut down on my bandwidth costs!
Thanks everybody!!
Scotchy

I don't know iOS I am using. How do I find out?
I have web history but only one weeks worth - can you increase how long it keeps the info before discarding?
I definitely don't have advanced settings and I'm definitely using an iPhone4
I also want this info to keep track of my internet usage to know which websites are chewing up my data allowance.
Any help appreciated!

How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

Hyperlinks from Word not correct in pdf when in web browser v7

We have a table of contents that we we have in word, the word file has hyperlinks to individual PDF files. After a new item is added to the table on contents, we distill the word to a pdf. Users access the pdf from a web page. Recently something changed and the pdf file of the table of contents is not linking to the correct pdf file.

Thanks for clarifying that. We hadnt given consideration to the use of signatures like thatr as you have mentioned.
Can we distribute the document without the risk of losing the signature validity in the Word document ?
Is it better to apply signatures to PDFs ?
Or can we preserve the appearance of the signature in the Word document ?
I wonder why just one of the signatures is not displaying when i use the Adobe menu to generate the PDF.
Perhaps some setting in the job options is causing that? What might it be though ?

My Mac won't print a pdf from the web

My iMac will not print any pdf from the web. The printer (an ho Photosmart plus) will only print a blank shet of paper.

Try saving the file then, then open Preview and open the file and try printing again. If if the quality is still bad then it's the file itself.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox
