Protect a stamp

How do I protect a stamp from being copied by a user. My stamp has a scanned image of my actual signature and I don't want it to be copied.

Well you could try printing the document out via the Adobe PDF printer driver (should get installed or you can find a free PDF printer and print to it), this would at least insure that someone with a copy of your doc and Acrobat couldnt just open and cleanly grab the stamp or manipulate it.
This is what i would do personally.

Password protect dynamic stamp

I would like to find out if it's possible to password protect a certain dynamic signature. Is it possible? And if so, how? Please help!

One thing that's possible is to use JavaScript to prompt the user for a password when applying the stamp. If the correct password is not used, the stamp would be blank, and set to the correct appearance otherwise. This would prevent most casual attempts and can't be considered very secure, but if that's nothing compared to people having access to a computer that should be secured, so I think this would be sufficient. You would have to change the way the stamp is constructed to allow for this and then do the required control programming.
Also, I'd recommend flattening the stamp before you upload the document so it's not so easy to or alter it, unless you don't think that would be an issue.

[Solved] Script to count new mail

This is a very simple problem that's confusing the hell out of me.
I want to show how many new (unread) emails I have, in my Awesome taskbar, and have it run every 10 minutes.
So I wrote a small perl script and it worked, showing 1 new mail.
The problem is that running the script again says there's no new mail. I figured the library calls were setting the new mail as read. So I tried again in python using imaplib, which lets you open the imap folder as readonly. But the same problem happens again, subsequent calls say there's no new mail.
I tried someone else's script found here but got the same result.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

I'm using a script I found in conky that pulls similar information out of the RSS/atom feed from gmail.

then you just call the script with python /path/to/script/ username password #ofEmailTitlesToDisplay.
Hope that helps?

it requires the package python-feedparser from extra.

Password protected stamps

Hi there,
is there a way to require a password to use certain stamps.
In detail they contain the persons' signs but are - for simplicity - all accessed using a single windows-account. Different users of one department use this windows-account.
tia,
marco

Not sure on changing the folder. It is likely an option in the registry, but if you go there be sure to backup the registry before playing around. You can search for the location and see if you can change it from there. That might be the simplest way to set it up and still use the folder feature I mentioned. What you were asking for does not really exist to my knowledge. You can try to see if you could set a password in the stamp file. I tried it, but AA5 still read the stamps. It might work with a newer version. Keep in mind that the stamp file is simply a PDF and it may be that you can set security on it (I would set the opening security if you try this). I have no clue if it will work, but it is all that I can think of. Bill

How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

Excel Crashes every time Software Protection Service initialises.

Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some help. I have an issue whereby Excel 2013 seems to crash what seems like randomly, however when I look in the event log it seems to be every time the Software Protection Service initialises while Excel is running.
I have never seen this happen myself, as it's one of my clients machines, but can confirm each time he says it happens in the event viewer.
If you look in the event logs, you have events in this order:

(apologies, I can't add screenshots until my account is verified)
As a test, I disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue, until we reactivated windows and the service resumed it's duty.

Hi Jamie,
Does this only happen to Excel 2013? What about other Office applications?
Office Software Protection Platform Service is responsible for the verification of your Office licensce, please first check the activation status of your Office installation.
Since you've mentioned that "disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue", I would also suggest we first try below steps and see if issue persists:
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform and rename
tokens.dat to tokens.old.
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\Cache
and rename cache.dat to cache.old
Restart your computer, then launch excel and check again.
Please feel free to post back with any findings.

If you are doing a reload every time then you can issue following commands to clear data from cube.
lmt name to all
allstat
clear all from <cubename>prttopvar
You can wrap above commands in pl sql procedure using dbms_aw.execute package and execute it before cube load starts. Instead of clearing it from whole cube you can clear only from one partition also. Just take a look at clear command in olap DML 10.2 reference.

GMT time stamps interfere with calendar in 8.1.2

How do I prevent GMT time stamps from interfering with my calendars? This did not occur until I upgraded to OS 8.1.2
I sync an iPod touch 5th generation with google calendars, and have done so with this device for over a year, and on a generation 3 device for four years - all without hassle.
Since upgrading to 8.1.2 my calendar is suddenly very difficult to use.

Hi All,
I am trying to develop JSP client for a conversational webservice. I amtrying
it in two ways and
none of them is working.
1)
I have put the Java Proxy file generated by Weblogic Workshop for myWebservice
in the lib
directory of the web application. According to article posted in "DearJohn" series,
my proxy
must have methods that take one additional argument to pass in Header infoapart
from all
the arguments mentioned by me. But, I don't see any methods like this inmy proxy
and
corresponding stub.
2)
Other suggested method is to use Webservices Control. In this, I amsetting a
string as
Conversation ID when I invoke a method that is marked to startconversation. Further,
if I
invoke any other method marked Continue in the same JSP it works. But,from another
JSP
where I set the same conversation ID and then try to call a method markedas Continue,
it does not work. It say, check whether you have start a conversation. Ican see
my conversation
in Test browser and I am calling continue method before max-idle-time.
I am not sure which step I am missing. Help Required!!!
Thanks in advance,
Sushil

DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem. In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total). All of the SQL
environment is backing up fine except for a SQL Cluster Application. This particular SQL Instances is part of a 6 node failover cluster with 6 SQL Instances distributed amongst them. The other 5 SQL instances in the cluster are backing
up fine; only one instance is failing. The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:
Affected area: KEN-PROD-VDB001\POSREPL1\master

I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine). The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
to when the failures started to occur. However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem. We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.
One last thing, I have also noticed errors in the event log pertaining to the same SQL backups that are failing (but the time stamps are not concurrent with each backup attempt):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem. If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine. They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK. Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

How to Stamp a PDF Document permanently

As an author about to release eBooks in the form of PDFs (I use Indesign to create), how can I stamp ever page of a PDF with the registered user's details and make that stamp permanent? I want to do it in batch mode so that I only have to literally drag and drop my master PDF documents into a field already set with the user's registered details for the stamp to appear at the top of every page in every PDF document dropped into the field.
I have tried VeryPDF's PDFStamper tool and it does this exactly but the stamp is not permanent as I was able to remove the stamps using another program (even when the stamped PDF was batch encrypted). I have not been able to find a batch encryption program that prevented me from removing the stamps. The PDFs can not be password protected as i want the end users to be able to open them like you would start a music file that has been paid for (ipod users don't enter a pw every time they play their music files). I have researched other commercial solutions but the PDF delivery is either restricted to proprietry delivery or very expensive (upwards of US2000) alternative software.
There must be a lot of authors like me wanting to do this but I have drawn blanks at every step trying to find a solution. I wrote to Adobe about this 5 years ago and never got a reply. I've waited thinking something worthwhile would come along but so far I can't find it.
Anyone got a solution? thank you for your time and help with this.

Hello,
I am equally interested in this as well. I attended a publishing conference and found out that piracy is pretty high, however just like any other theft if we can take preventative measures to make it more difficult than the less worries and that most people are genuinely honest. DRM's are very expensive and not security proof. Through my research I came across a shopping cart ejunkie.. they describe the stamping technique as well and how to include it in the shopping card URL to eliminate passwords, etc. I am totally a novice..
My questions if you don't mind are,
1) How does the stamping keep people from copying the content? Is this allowing them only the ability to use with a reader but unable to print and copy? I can't see too many people traveling in the same circle unafraid of using someone else's download with stamp or not.
2) I also want to ask you another question about using other services to download your ebook. Can you email me too at pj at nobrokenhome dot com. Thank you

Exchange 2010 - What is best practice for protection against corruption replication?

My Exchange 2010 SP3 environment includes DAG with offsite passive copy. DB is backed-up nightly with TSM TDP. My predecessor also installed DoubleTake software to protect the DB against replication of malware or corruption to the passive MB
server. Doubletake updates offsite DB replica every 4-hours. Understanding that this is ultimately a decision based on my company's risk tolerance, to the end, what is the probability of malware or corruption propagation due to replication?
What is industry best practice: do most companies have a 3rd, lagged copy of the DB in the DAG, or are 3rd party solutions such as DoubleTake commonly employed? Are there other, better (and less expensive) options?

Correct. If 8 days lagged copy is maintained then daily transaction log files of 8 days are preserved before replaying them to lagged database. This will ensure point-in-time recovery, as you can select log files that you need to replay into the database.
Logs will get truncated if they have been successfully replayed into database and have expired their lagged time-stamp.
Each database copy has a checkpoint file (.chk), which keeps track of transaction log files status.
Command to check the Transaction Logs replay status:
eseutil /mk <path-of-the-chk-file> - (stored with the Transaction log files)

Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

Help needed!
How to create own dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X, without any knowledge of programming.
It was very easy with the program used before (Nuance); unfortunally it's not possible to export from Nuance to Acrobat.
Thanks in advance
vtosi

It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials
If you're interested in someone to create the stamp (and all the required
scripts) for you, feel free to contact me by PM or at [email protected] .
