Reader users and adding an attachment

When PDFs are enabled for Reader users, the Reader users have access to all of the Commenting tools. Therefore, they are able to select the Attach tool and click on the PDF to attach a file. I don't want them to insert a file into the PDF; it needs to be an attachment. So far so good.
But, I want to make it easier for Reader users to attach a file, without having to explain to them the steps involved. The PDF form will be sent to approximately 100 Reader users, and I want to minimize the possibility of errors and questions from these Reader users. My first thought was to have a button they could click that would bring up the Attach tool, but that is not one of the standard Actions for buttons.
Would it be possible to have a button they could click to bring up the Attach tool, or other method to make it easy for Reader users to attach a file?

Unfortunatly No. In fact you are exploiting a loop hole in Adobe's "Rights" strategy. You are not supposed to be able to add attachments to a PDF at all in Reader, unless the PDF has explicit Attachment Rights. There is a way to use JavaScript to place the File Attachment Annotation on PDF, but it does not display the file dialog. You're doing the best you can already.

Error when trying to give permissions to users and adding them to the site

Hi,
i'm facing an issue with a public website (SharePoint server 2010) where i can't add any users (windows users) or grant permission for them.
I checked the Authentication Provider for the web application and Windows Authentication NTLM is enabled, the IIS also enable windows authentication for that site.
the issue happens when i go to Site Action --> Site Permission --> Grant Permissions --> I select users after searching for them and once i click OK Exception is appearing.
I check the logs and all i found is:
10/12/2014 12:16:15.84 w3wp.exe (0x07C8) 0x0AA0 SharePoint Server Logging Correlation Data 9gc5 Verbose Thread change; resetting trace level override to 0; resetting correlation to a17a120f-ebf7-4de7-aeb4-91c0ae7be28e d07aff74-632e-4bfe-93d0-415b93f53f6a a17a120f-ebf7-4de7-aeb4-91c0ae7be28e
Note that this happen all of sudden, i was able to add users / groups, users to groups, grant permissions directly but no i can't do none
My website is grating permissions also for Anonymous users and it's working fine
This is production server site so i can't try lots of options unless i'm sure of them
Event viewer is not capturing any error
Please help

This could be browser issue, please try adding site in trusted site in browser or try to some other browser like Chrome/Mozilla.
I have faced this issue when I try to access site from server in IE, it get failed on "OK" when adding user.
I hope this I will help you

Creating users and adding them to groups programmatically in Portal 902

What is the correct process and code needed to create a user and add it to a group programmatically in Portal 9.0.2 and how is it different from what it used to be in 309.
If anyone has an answer, please let me know and all contributions are really appreciated.

Replying to an email while adding an attachment? ***?

Maybe I am being obtuse, but when I try to reply to an email and want to include an attachement with my reply, why is there no option to do this? This seems like a farily BASIC funtion of any email program. I hope I am missing something, because if the iPhone can't do something as basic as this... Man, its got serious problems.
I'm already annoyed that it doesn't allow you to save attachments onto the phone itself in a file tree, but to not be able to reply to someone's e-mail with a saved attachment (whether it be a pic, doc, pdf, etc...)
(Example: "Hey what was the name of that restaurant we were at tonight? Also, can you send me that pic we took at the table?")
As of now, I have to find that picture, tell it I want to compose a NEW email, then answer the question in the body of the email. Why couldn't you just "reply" attach the photo in question, and answer the email like you would any other email (that didn't require an attachment?)
This seems extremely short-sighted on Apple's part.. I mean, come on -- even a Blackberry has these basic functions.
Am I wrong, or are they missing something really basic here?

Thanks for the workaround... Not ecxactly the most efficient way to do something as basic as reply and adding an attachment, but it does work.
For the life of me, I don't understand why you can't save items to a personal folder on the hard drive, which you can then access whenever you need to. I think Apple makes thing WAY more complicated then they need to be.

Adobe Reader users are occasionaly presented with Standard when published via Citrix XenApp 5.0

We are publishing Adobe Standard to 4 users over 6 servers and have both Acrobat Standard and Reader installed on each Citrix server. During installation of Standard, Reader was selected as the default application.
Regardless of this configuration, infrequently the Citrix servers will present Acrobat Standard to users that are not listed as users of the application. So far, we have not noticed any patterns of behavior and have noted the following:
Although, all servers (1-6) have incorrectly presented Reader users with the Standard application at least once, only a few of the servers (1, 4, & 5) frequently violate the configuration settings;
Reader users and Standard users can coexist on the Citrix server and be presented the appropriate application (i.e. 5 reader users can be presented Reader and 5 Standard users can be presented Standard at the same time).
Citrix servers can present Acrobat Standard to Reader users even if there are no users of Standard accessing the server.
Users are starting to experience two types of failures:a. Acrobat fatally crashes with the following event:
Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 9.2.0.124, time stamp 0x4ac7308f, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0c094e16, process id 0x2aa8, application start time 0x01caf2b4e54acde3.
b. Adobe Reader will simply stop responding and error out when being accessed
Please submit any suggestions you might have for configuring these two applications to nicely coexist on a Citrix server.

Adobe Reader was installed and running on all Citrix servers since their inception over a year ago.
Recently, we installed Adobe Standard on each server and during installation Adobe Standard asked whether Reader or Standard should be used as the default program. Adobe reader was selected and 80-85% of the time, the Citrix servers observe this rule.
On other occasions, when users with access to Reader open a PDF, Citrix will present Adobe Standard instead of the default program. At first, I thought it might be caused by a user with Standard already open but further testing proved Adobe Standard can be presented to a user of Reader even if there is no open session of Standard.

Excel data read from users and upload in to Oracle DB using custom webpart

Hi Team,
I need to get the excel date from user using file upload control and read the data from the excel using custom webpart and validate the each rows whether having the values or not and need to upload the data to the oracle database.
Can you please let me know the best approach to read the data from excel using sharepoint custom webpart.
Thanks,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read excel data from the uploaded file and insert the data into Oracle Database.
The following way for your reference:
1.Create a Visual Web Part using Visual Studio.
2. Add an asp.net upload control into the .ascx file.
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" onclick="btnUpload_Click" Text="Upload" />
</div>
3. Add some logic methods into .ascx.cs file.
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//read data and insert the data into Oracle database.
4.We can create a web service for adding data to Oracle database, then consume this web service in the visual web part.

Convert the spool to xls format and email through attachment to the user

Hi all,
When I execute a report in background, I get spool. I need to convert the spool to xls format and email through attachment to the user.The xls file should not be saved on local system.
If I use the Spool Recepient tab in SM37 it mails the spool list as .txt file to the mail receipient. But I need to send it as an .xls file.
Can any one help me on this

Did you get the solution? i have the same problem.

WINDOWS 8.1 - System Tools no longer displaying User and Group Settings after adding a new LOCAL user.

I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain. I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status. That's when the trouble began.
The main user profile disappeared. I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin. I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?). I cannot access any files from the main account
(that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
Control Panel." <---- Awesome! (that was sarcasm.)
I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".
To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again. I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out. Windows 8 is the new Vista. Good luck!

Hello AhavahOlam,
I can understand your feelings.
If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes
but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo.
what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Want to use Reader Extensions for highlighting and adding comments

Hi,
The basic use for which we plan to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is for highlighting and adding comments.
In a J2EE application, we create PDF document at runtime using (PDFBox). The purpose to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is when the end user sees the PDF created he/she should be able to add highlights and add comments to the PDF document and save it back to server.
The question is what all I need to do. Just install Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions on the server. What should be done specifically when the PDF is created using PDFBox? Add any information to the PDF so that when PDF is viewed by the user he/she can add comments or highlight.
Can I get sample application and I also need Developer Guide. I think Developer guide comes with the setup? Did not find any place where I can down load a demo setup of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
Can you please guide me in the right direction? I am collecting more information as I search the internet and go through the forum, but it will be very helpful if someone can give correct information.
Thank You.
Regards,
Jay Chandran.

Hi,
I was reading Adobe Reader SDK document (Acrobat_SDK_overview.pdf), in that it is mentioned under
About rights-enabled documents:
You cannot programmatically rights-enable a PDF file.
Well I am confused, because my requirement is like this:
1. PDF is created using (PDFBox) as part in a J2EE application.
2. After the PDF has been created, from the J2EE application, the PDF will be send to LiveCycle Extensions to right enable it. (There is no user interface, and it is planned to be done programatically using Adobe libraries. The PDF will be send to LiveCycle Server and Right Enabled PDF will be returned.)
So if there is no way to "programmatically rights-enable a PDF file", how can it be done without having an web interface?
Just to confirm, PDF can be prgramatically right-enabled using LiveCycle libraries right? I have to right enable PDF files prgramatically and not using LiveCycle web interface.
Thank You.
Regards,
Jay Chandran.

How to Allow Reader Users to Save XML Data and Send?

A huge problem w/ LiveCycle Designer is (this is what I found), by clicking the "Submit via Email" button, the Adobe Reader is trying to connect to the local default email program, like outlook express.
However, public computers are usually banned the users to launch an email program, and users are more likely to check email within a webpage. I noticed a number of students close the Reader after filling out the form but failing to send back the data.
Anyway that I can allow a Reader user to be able to save .xml data file so he/she can attach to web-based email?
Thanks Everybody!

If you have Acrobat there is a subset of Reader Extensions functionality available in there that will allow you to Reader Extend the form to do local saves. The license agreement limits you to 500 uses. If you need more than that there is a server option that is more expensive but has no limits on users.

No Start Menu, removed and added User Account then no "Built In" Apps - Build 1049

So quick history, was having problem with start menu not working under build 1044 for the second user I'd added to the machine (Microsoft account). Rebuilt using "Remove everything and reinstall windows". Seemed to resolve the problem for the newly
added user and was still working under the original user (also Microsoft Account). Then along came build 1049 and now the same start menu issue occurred for the original user account. So, as both were setup as admins, removed the original
user account, restarted, checked all data removed and added the account again.
First attempt added the account as a local account then added the Microsoft account after login, result = start menu working but no "built in" apps (store beta, insider app etc).
So removed account again and added again, this time using Microsoft account immediately, logged in and exactly the same result.
Any ideas how to resolve?

You cannot use the Start Menu logging in as anything that would be in the BUILTIN\administrator group on the computer. I had the same problem when I added the machine to a domain, thus domain admins is in the BUILTIN\Administrator group.
The reason being that the Windows 10 Start Menu is an appxpackage, and you can't run appxpackages using the built-in administrator account. As is the case for example with Windows Store. It doesn't however give you a warning message, you
just click on the windows button and nothing happens.
This is just total madness imv. It kind of made sense when all the appxpackages where apps, but now they include parts of the OS, the OS is essentially non-functional when you log in using anything in the BUILTIN\ administrator group.
If you really want to blow your mind, go into PowerShell and run the command: get-appxpackage|remove-appxpackage
If you run that on Windows 8.1 it will remove all the bloatware apps for the logged on user. Run it in Windows 10 and it removes various parts of the OS for that user as well, such as the Start Menu!

How to find document attached to user and Company code?

Hi all,
Requirement: Select a list of Business documents ( Sales order/PO....) created or changed by <b>specific users</b> which belong to a <b>Specific Company code</b>.
ie,To develop a report which lists the Documents created/updated/changed based on specified date and users.
I think we can find from CDHDR & CDPOS tables. But i need to filter these documents or pick documents based on a Specific Company code.
ie.,from the list of records obtained from CDHDR table....how to filter these documents based on Company code......
valuable inputs needed.
Thanks,
Subba

Hi
Most of the application document Heade tables(VBAK,EKKO etc ) will have the field CRETAED by like ERNAM. and all these tables will have BUKRS field also in them
So compnay code wise User created documents list you will get.
Only problem is the Changed/Modified list by user with related Company code.
Anyhow you will get the User who changed the documents from CDPOS table.
But for linkthem to Company code I feel You need the
help of HR related Tables .
with the UNAME which you get from CDPOS table go to PA0105 infotype and get the PERNR linked with that user.
And get the attached BUKRS Company code from PA0001 infotype.
Hope this will solve your problem.
reward points if useful
