Script for checking Reader version?

Does anyone have a script that will check the user's version when opening the form, and throw an error if it is earlier than a specified version?
Thanks!
Angie

Angie,
If you are referring to the user's version of Reader or Acrobat, you can use xfa.host.version.
See 'Which Version of Reader?" at http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/adobe_livecycle_es/adobe_livecycle_designer_es/

Silent install for adobe reader version 110003

silent install for adobe reader version 110003

Hi,
I don't know your more details about how you pretend to deploy your Adobe Reader but I did this to my current deployment and many people on the company are happy with this:
1- I extracted the contents from the Adobe Reader installer.
2- I modified the MSI using Customization Wizard to hide some menus (Maybe you can skip this step if you don't need to customize it)
3- On SCCM 2012 I created a Script deployment with a CMD file which contains the following command for silent install. (You don't need to have an SCCM infrastructure to deploy it but it will help)
start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
or
msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
- On my case I used %~dp0 because I'm installing from a server caching files on client machines but if you pretend to test and install it locally avoid using: %~dp0 and put your absolut path. Like C:\Temp or your MSI and source files location.
- Start /wait - Will execute your MSI installer file and then once is finished will proceed with the next command if any.
- Transforms- will force the MSI to apply the custom settings I did on Customization Wizard)
- PATCH- command will proceed to install the patches you may have at the moment 11.0.1, 11.0.2, etc...
Hope this will help you !

Update SQL script for lower SQL version

Hi, I am copying same records 9 times and this query is working fine in SQL-2008 or newer version but getting the following error in Lower SQL version. How I can run this script for lower SQL version.
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.*
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;
Error: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ';'.

Why are you using CTE in SQl server 2000. They were introduced from 2005. of course you need to confirm version of SQL Server
Plus use code like below
If object_ID('tempdb..#Temp') IS NOT NULL
drop table #temp
create table #temp (Code1 varchar(10))
insert into #temp values ('ABC')
;With Numbers As
(Select 1 As Number
Union All
Select Number + 1
From Numbers
Where Number < 9)
Select t.*
From #temp t
Cross Join Numbers;

Best way for a vbs logon script to check which version of Firefox is currently installed

I am currently writing a vbs startup script for our Windows PCs. In the script I wish to detect if Firefox is currently installed on the PC and if so what version is installed, so that I can then run the Firefox installer only if the installed version is out of date.
The main target for this is Windows 7 64-bit, although if it worked for XP that would be a bonus. The script will run as a PC startup script so will execute before a user has logged on.
Ideally I would like to avoid assumptions about the current installation location as we have a number of PCs configured for specialist roles where Firefox won't be in C:\Program Files(x86)\Firefox.
I believe that the information I need can be found in the registry, however the information I have been able to find has generally been conflicting and relating to very old versions of Firefox. Any information you can provide about this for Firefox 5/6 would be very much appreciated.

You can download Firefox 3.6.x from the link below
* [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html]
In TenFourFox, plug-ins are disabled for security reasons, because plug-ins for PPC are outdated and full of vulnerabilities. More information can be found on

Bash script for checking link status

So I'm doing some SEO work I've been tasked with checking a couple hundred thousand back links for quality. I found myself spending a lot of time navigating to sites that no longer existed. I figured I would make a bash script that checks if the links are active first. The problem is my script is slower than evolution. I'm no bash guru or anything so I figured maybe I would see if there are some optimizations you folks can think of. Here is what I am working with:
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
#pull page source and grep for domain
curl -s "$line" | grep "example.com"
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
echo \"$line\",\"link active\" >> csv.csv else
echo \"$line\",\"REMOVED\" >> csv.csv
fi
done < <(cat links.txt)
Can you guys think of another way of doing this that might be quicker? I realize the bottleneck is curl (as well as the speed of the remote server/dns servers) and that there isn't really a way around that. Is there another tool or technique I could use within my script to speed up this process?
I will still have to go through the active links one by one and analyze by hand but I don't think there is a good way of doing this programmatically that wouldn't consume more time than doing it by hand (if it's even possible).
Thanks

I know it's been awhile but I've found myself in need of this yet again. I've modified Xyne's script a little to work a little more consistently with my data. The problem I'm running into now is that urllib doesn't accept IRIs. No surprise there I suppose as it's urllib and not irilib. Does anyone know of any libraries that will convert an IRI to a URI? Here is the code I am working with:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from threading import Thread
from queue import Queue
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.error import URLError
import csv
import sys
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Check list of URLs for existence of link in html')
parser.add_argument('-d','--domain', help='The domain you would like to search for a link to', required=True)
parser.add_argument('-i','--input', help='Text file with list of URLs to check', required=True)
parser.add_argument('-o','--output', help='Named of csv to output results to', required=True)
parser.add_argument('-v','--verbose', help='Display URLs and statuses in the terminal', required=False, action='store_true')
ARGS = vars(parser.parse_args())
INFILE = ARGS['input']
OUTFILE = ARGS['output']
DOMAIN = ARGS['domain']
REMOVED = 'REMOVED'
EXISTS = 'EXISTS'
NUMBER_OF_WORKERS = 50
#Workers
def worker(input_queue, output_queue):
while True:
url = input_queue.get()
if url is None:
input_queue.task_done()
input_queue.put(None)
break
request = Request(url)
try:
response = urlopen(request)
html = str(response.read())
if DOMAIN in html:
status = EXISTS
else:
status = REMOVED
except URLError:
status = REMOVED
output_queue.put((url, status))
input_queue.task_done()
#Queues
input_queue = Queue()
output_queue = Queue()
#Create threads
for i in range(NUMBER_OF_WORKERS):
t = Thread(target=worker, args=(input_queue, output_queue))
t.daemon = True
t.start()
#Populate input queue
number_of_urls = 0
with open(INFILE, 'r') as f:
for line in f:
input_queue.put(line.strip())
number_of_urls += 1
input_queue.put(None)
#Write URL and Status to csv file
with open(OUTFILE, 'a') as f:
c = csv.writer(f, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
for i in range(number_of_urls):
url, status = output_queue.get()
if ARGS['verbose']:
print('{}\n {}'.format(url, status))
c.writerow((url, status))
output_queue.task_done()
input_queue.get()
input_queue.task_done()
input_queue.join()
output_queue.join()
The problem seems to be when I use urlopen
response = urlopen(request)
with a URL like http://www.rafo.co.il/√ó‚Äò√ó¬®-√ó¬§√ó¬ê√ó≈ì√ó‚Ñ¢-p1
urlopen fails with an error like this:

Is there a difference in scripting for Adobe Reader 8.0

Hi,
I started to create Interactive forms with Adobe Reader 7.0 installed on my machine. I had problems with dynamically growing text field so when I searched the forum, it was suggested that it is a problem for the Adobe versions 7 and lesser so I installed Adobe Reader 8.0 on my system but after installing that lots of scripts stopped working.
An example is that the following print comman is not working now.
xfa.host.print(1, "2", "2", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0); - I am trying to print the 3rd page.
Can anyone tell me if the scripting has changed because it was working fine till I installed the newer version of Adobe.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Hi Kalyan,
No idea about Abode reader 8.0 but i suugest try to use Adobe reader 7.1.
your scripts should work on 7.1. You can test the client side scripts using adobe life cycle designer standalone.

Script for 'Check Links Before Opening Document' preference

I'm trying to find the VB script for changing the "Check Links Before Opening Document" checkbox on the File Handling panel in the Preferences dialog? I haven't found any documentation referring to the Links items on that panel.
Bob

Thanks for the info.
Was there a document you pulled this from?
I have an old document from CS2 days that is invaluable for providing a detailed list of available script methods and properties. Obviously things that have been added in subsequent InDesign releases aren't in this document. Later InDesign CS releases offer script SDKs that contain helpful sample scripts but I don't find a detailed summary similar to one from CS2. Have I just not found them? Or how does one find the script method/property for things not contained in the sample scripts?

Unix script for checking the user account status

Hi All,
i have created one unix script to check the status of the user in diff databases.
#!/bin/ksh
useracctreport.txt if [ ! -f hh ];
then
echo "Database file does not exist"
fi
echo "Enter Username"
read USER
echo "Enter the password"
stty -echo
read PASS
stty echo
for j in `cat users`
do
j="`echo $j| tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`"
for i in `cat hh`
do
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txt
column USERNAME format a8
column ACCOUNT_STATUS format a5
!echo "*****User $j Status in $i DB*****"
select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users where username=('$j');
select OBJECT_TYPE,count(*) from dba_objects where owner='$j' group by object_type;
EOF
done
done
In log file ,i get the below error when its unable to connect to the DB.

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Is there any way i can supress this error?
and is there any other way i can make this script faster.Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
The failing line is
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtYou should test the connect statement you provide to sqlplus. For example:
CONSTRING=$USER/$PASS\@$i
echo Connect string used: $CONSTRING
sqlplus -s $CONSTRING <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtCheck the echoed value. It's malformed. Correct it appropriately.

CSS Script for checking RADIUS Service

Hi,
We are using CSS 11501 boxes for load-sharing RADIUS (NAC) requests between different ACS Servers.
How can I configure a keepalive method for checking the RADIUS service on the ACS Servers ?
If this needs to be a script then Can anyone provide some hints\tips ?
Thanks,
Naman

This needs to be a script.
The best way would be to sniff a request/response from a known user [or fake user], then extract the udp header + payload in hex format, then create a CSS script to send the hex formatted query and to verify that the hex formatted response matches the server response.
I believe the ap-kal-dns script uses a similar approach so you can look at it to get an idea of what you have to do.

Script for checking hardware failures on Solaris

Hi all,
I am trying to write a script that checks failures/faults on the Solaris servers(8/9/10) using commands prtdiag -v, echo | format,metastat errors and iostat errors .
Does anyone have scripts like that?
Cheers

please share the script...It doesn't work that way.

Script for checking the replication process in Netscape Directory Sever 4.1

Hi,
We are using Netscape Directory Server 4.1.6 in our production environment. Where we want to know is there any script available to check the replication process. Or can we write a script to check the process.
Waiting for your replies at the earliest.
Thanks,
Syed A.

Hi Syed,
Replication state is very easy to see in 4.x and earlier. The last changenumber in the supplier changelog is visible (on the root DSE IIRC), and each consumer suffix has an operational attribute "copiedfrom" that tells you the name of the supplier, the database generation id, and the last change replayed from the supplier.
So a script that compares the results of
ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" lastchangenumber
and
ldapsearch -h <consumer> -s base -b <base_suffix> "objectclass=*" copiedFrom
will show you if a replica has fallen out of sync. It won't tell you more than how many changes behind the replica is, though, because pre-5.x changenumbers are sequential integers, not timestamps.
However, the change that corresponds to the changenumber is clearly visible under the "cn=changelog" suffix. So if you look at the change itself you can see the timestamp on it.
For more info on the status of replication, you should be able to query the agreements on the supplier. Those live under the "Netscape Machine Data Suffix", which you can also find on the supplier's root DSE:
ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" netscapemdsuffix
And of course the error logs will usually tell you if replication is failing outright.
I may be off on some of the attribute names, but if you do some investigating along these lines, you should be able to figure it out.

Need a script to check the version of Office365 Pro Plus to push our office updates

I need a script that could check the version of office365 pro plus e.g ( 15.0.4711.1002) and if it doesn't exists on users machine than to deploy a latest version from a network location
I have an XML which works fine with downloading and even when deploying onto test machine but would not work on users which has an encrypted HDD and windows firewall turned on. the machine don't seem to pull the updates from Microsoft hence why wanted to
deploy the updates through a GPO start-up script
Currently the script would run the setup countless times without checking version and exiting the process if the version found. I hope the information given is adequate. Thanks

Frederik, After some tweaking and testing i was able to get it working, I haven't tested it via GPO as a startup script but standalone it is doing what i was after. I cant thank you enough for helping me on this as i had lost hope after days worth of intense
searching
Change that i had to apply ( space in a network path
was causing a "path not found error", Had to rename the "Office365 update" and update the path in Customconfig.xml or any other location that was pointing to "office365 update" )
set DeployServer=\\contoso\c2r\Office365 update\
REM Set ConfigFile to the configuration file to be used for
deployment (required)
set ConfigFile=\\contoso\c2r\Office365 update\Customconfig.xml
REM Set LogLocation to a central directory to collect script
log files (install log files are set in XML file).
set LogLocation=C:\AppData\Local\Temp

SCUP detection for APSB14-01 failed for Adobe Reader version 10.1.2

The detection rule ran and found that the patch was not required for reader version 10.1.2.
Anyone know how the detection rule works and what is it looking for?

Further investigation shows that the update is for "Acrobat and Reader". The users have Acrobat 9.4.2 and Reader 10.0.1 and the update has a link to 10.0.2 readme, so it was assumed only Reader 10 was being modified. Acrobat 9.4.2 is what is actually being updated, but the patch doesn't reference 9.x. Confusing to everyone.
Thanks for confirming no 10.0.2 update for Reader (whew)!
