Restricted Functions in Reader 9

In Acrobat 9 Pro, when I "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader," I am warned that "certain functions will be restricted" for the end user in Adobe Reader.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of which functions are restricted for the end user?
Specifically, if cell properties in Acrobat utilize the "Calculate" function, is the "Calculate" function operational in Reader?

It's mostly changes that modify the document, such as adding pages, spawning templates, etc. To get an idea, open an enabled document in Acrobat and see which tools and menu items are disabled. Form calculations certainly are not disabled or otherwise restricted.

Key length 120 (Restricted functionality) Error

Hi Experts,
I created a ZTable with 4 Primary Key fields.The sum of all these fields is 175.When I am activating the table it is showing the following error.
Key length > 120 (Restricted functionality)
Message no. DT214
The key length, i.e. the sum of the field lengths of all the key fields of the table, is more than 120 bytes.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?
Regds,
Sam.

Dear saju sam
Please goto change table in SE11 and remove the check boxes for primary key in table so that number of primary keys are reduced.And then activate before transporting.
Please put ratings if this helps .

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
The data is being received at 1Mbps.
Thanks

Two questions:
One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

Functions to read and display an array of integers

Hi guys,
I am trying to implement with a class called Sort a function to read in an array of integers from a file and a function to display that array.
public class Sort
     public static int[] read(String file) throws IOException
        /* Create Reader object to read contents of file */
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        /* Read file and store lines in ArrayList */
        ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        /* Variable */
        String in;
        /* While not equal to null reads data from file */
        while ((in = br.readLine()) != null)
            /* Adds data from file to ArrayList */
            list.add(Integer.parseInt(in));
        /* Converts ArrayList into an array */
        int[] array = new int[list.size()];
        for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
            /* Get array elements */
            array[i] = list.get(i);
        /* Returns array */
        return array;
    public int display()
        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
            System.out.println(list.get(i));
}I am having one of those moments when you forget everything, I need help with display the array in a seperate function, will someone help me please?
Thanks!

I know that its just implementing it.
I have:
public void display()
        for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
            System.out.println(array);
But I'm lost on how to make this work, i.e it says "cannot find array variable". I've not done Java for a while and feel like I have forgot everything!

How do you use the windows User32.dll Library functions to read variables from other applications that are running

I am trying to read a text box from a programme running at the same time as my Labview application using calls to the Windows
User32.dll. I believe I need to find the window handle for the 'form' containing this text string and use this together with
various other defined input variables to access the sting.
I have no experience of using this 'Call Library Function Node', but have an understanding of the 'C' programming language. Does anyone have
example Labview code showing how this might be done.
Thanks

If you're trying to access information that's being displayed in the window of another application and that application has no ActiveX interface, then yes, Windows calls can be used. There's a very good example on calling DLLs that ship with LabVIEW. Open the Example Finder (Help->Find Examples) and switch to the Search tab. Enter "Call" in the search box and open the VI "Call DLL". Run the VI, select any of the examples, and click the "Open Example VI..." button. That shows you how to call a DLL.
Now, given that you have no experience in calling DLLs, have only an "understanding" of C (which to me means you have never written something like a DLL), and don't seem to know that much about what Windows functions you may need, you're going to find this route pretty difficult, especially since you have to deal with Windows API calls, which are not always that easy to do from LabVIEW.
Let me propose an alternate solution. Go over to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ and download AutoIt. This is an automation tool that allows you to automate just about anything you want. It has an ActiveX interface that you can call from LabVIEW. I've attached an example VI that shows you how to use it to get the value of a text box from one of the tabs in the computer "System Properties" control panel applet.

Update to Acrobat 9.5.1 breaks Flash functionality for reading archived emails

On installing update 9.5.1 to Acrobat Pro on WinXP, I can no longer read the index of previously archived email collections created using the Email to PDF macro in Outlook 2007.
The PDF data file indices were readable before, and are still readable in Acrobat X Reader. Hence the data file content seems to be correct.
I get the error message as below and then on Cancel (as the download page does not work) I can only see the first email in the collection as a two pgae PDF, which is limited to say the least.
Please advise how I should restore the functionality I had prior to this upgrade.

Yes, as I said in my original post.the link to the download page did not work. Also as Acrobat X Reader worked (on the same computer), then the required Flash software was already somewhere on my computer
However, this issue has now been resolved by applying the recent update from Acrobat Pro v.9.5.1 to v.9.5.2, reopening the PDF portfolio and following the link in the new dialog box that appeared, to go to the correct Adobe(R) webpage to download and install the Flash Software update. This latest webpage has a date of this month (August 2012).
As of v.9.5.2 this problem is solved.

Like Ini related functions, is there any functions for reading other functions like .c, .h file

Hi,
For reading the *.ini file there are many Ini realted functions. Like that I need in built function in CVI to read the files like
*.c, *.h line by line. Actually string searching function is not helping me as I want to read it line by line and perform
the operations in which I am interested.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks and Regards
Nagraj B

It's not clear to me what you are aiming to, but reading a text file line by line can be accomplished by ReadLine () function.
Parsing the line read to intercept special keyword can be done via regular expression instrument driver, which is included in CVI distribution.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Security restrictions , how to read access a txt file supplied in a jar

but I do not know how to give my web application permission to access a file
when I set security permission to all, then error says the application cannot load because the code require unrestricted acess to system resources and is unsigned, I don't know how to get that certificate and I am only doing it for learning purposes.
when I remove security permissions then it says

Another few things I noted when I looked at it.
1) There is a stray thread going after the JOptionPane is dismissed. The VM does not end, and the console (if you have it configured to pop-up for JWS apps.) stays on-screen.
2) If all the jokes are prefixed by '* ' I would recommend removing it from every line of the source file and either re-adding it at runtime, or (preferably) not adding it at all (since it is redundant).
3) Reconfigure the app. into a loop, and offer the user a JOptionPane with "Another Joke"/"End" instead of "OK".
4) You can always remove that debugging line I inserted in the code to show the path to the Jar - it was just intended as a 'sanity check' during testing.
5) Why is it Java 1.6+? JOptionPane was introduced in Java 1.2 with the first Swing implementations, and the I/O is compatible with Java 1.1.
>
Thanks again!!!!>Thanks are best expressed (to me) in the notation of a helpful/correct answer (which you have done), and the assignation of (the remaining) dukes*. ;-)
* After all - checks the title - we have gotten entirely around those 'security restrictions' in a sandboxed application. The reason being that File objects are rarely the correct choice, for applets or JWS apps.

Changing document restriction in Adobe Reader using JavaScript

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the "Commenting" document restriction option of a pdf file with "No Security" as the security method, using JavaScript while in Adobe Reader.
Thanks in advance,

Not possible.

PL/SQL function to read a string of characters into an array

I was wondering if there is an easier way than using the substr function multiple times. Here is the example:
Suppose you have a varchar2 variable that contains the word 'Apple'. The function should take it and produce an array. We would invoke it like this:
<what data structure?> a := stringunpackerfunction(x);
// x is the varchar2 containing 'Apple'.
The resulting a would be such that a[0] is 'A', a[1] is 'p', a[2] is 'p', a[3] is 'l' and a[4] is 'e'.
If there is no direct function to do this in a single invocation, is there a function to simply read a string of characters and return 'the next character'?
Thanks,
Regards,
Srini

There is a procedure out there called PS_PARSE which takes a string and converts to an array provided with an identified separator. Works for us pretty well.
I just grabbed this off of google. I am presuming this should work fine. It has been sometime since we implemented ours that I forget if there were any additional modifications that we made. I think there was one regarding the size of the string that could be handled. I forget precisely. Anyways... take a peek at it. Its makes things easy in that your logic is pretty streamlined.

Javascript stopped functioning when reader 9.2 installed

I have a fillable PDF form that was designed using Live Cycle Designer -
It uses a javascript to load XML data and fill the PDF form fields.
This had been working previously in a previous version of Reader but has suddenly stopeed working now that Reader 9.2 was installed -
has there been some sort of a change in how javascripts function for the Reader since 9.2 . ?
The Load function javascript is tested and currently works inside Acrobat Professional - but does nothing in Reader.
Please help
Thanks

So then, a RIKLA is the only way to have this useful functionality available for the reader ?
to me, it is clearly worth it - we have reader running everywhere - but corporate doens't like the $1,000 RIKLA price tag and the lack of a guarantee from Adobe that it will work in future relases , etc.
no crafty work - arounds ? huh ?
The current work-around is to write an Adobe Acrobat plug-in that allows a centralizd function to process XML files and fill out PDF's on demand from the XML files generated from a number of other smaller, processes.
This means that an operator needs to, periodically, run the PDF filling plug-in function at a particualr workstation which has a running copy of Adobe Acrobat and then they filled PDF files are then visible - .
The only other available solution is to generate a PDF from scratch - and that is an un-popular proposal - sice we would then need to maintain many different forms manually -
Personally, i think Adobe is missing the bigger picture here -
I think if they made this capability avaialbe they would sell more copies of Acrobat / live cycle because at mnay more people would want to automate this very tedious processing.
Anyway - my two cents are up ....
Thanks for the help

Restrictions distributing Acrobat Reader in China

Does anyone know if there are restrictions to distributing Acrobat Reader in China?
Thank you.

> It was just a simple question as to if there are any restrictions in distrubuting Acrobat Reader in China.
Well, it depends on the license that affects you. Yes, I could look up
the current redistribution license, but I have no way of knowing which
one you signed up to.
> Whether the black helicopters will visit my house if I send a zip file to a couple of folk there. ;^)
And if you don't have a redistribution license, Adobe do not allow
redistribution, whether to China or California...
