Securing Part of a Form

Is it possible to secure only some of the form fields in Acrobat Professional 9.0 without programming?
Background info:
Our office desires to use a pdf form for HR data entry. However once this form is filled out, HR wishes to send this form for the recipient to complete the data entry. The data entered by HR needs to be secured and unable to be edited by the recipient.
Thanks and any insight will be most helpful.

If the recepients only have Reader, you can lock the fields you don't want changed by making the Read-Only. I would go one step further in password protecting the file so that the user can only fill in fields rather than change the document. This is would protect you somewhat from users that have the Acrobat Application. Please remember that password protection is easily bypassed. If you want users to be able to save the pdf file, you are restricted to 500 uses/users unless you purchase an Adobe LiveCycle Product whose costs are in the 5 figures area at minimum.
Unless you you really need the pdf files, I'd highly recommend you consider html forms. Security, ease of use, integration of your data within your corporate database, cost, etc. are reasons to go with html forms. Don't get me wrong. I use Acrobat based forms for small numbers of users. For large enterprises, I think Acrobat server based technologies for handling forms are first rate. But for small and medium sized business the cost can be prohibitive.

Secure Part of a Form?

Is there a way to secure part of a form. A user needs a form that has two areas for entry, but after the first area is filled out, that area needs to be locked down while leaving the other area available to be filled out.

Hi,
please read this thread.

Security restrictions on offline form

In my application, I have a form with a submit button of control type 'regular'. It can be downloaded on local hard disk filled and saved. But for the same form, I changed the control type of submit button to 'submit' and ran the application again. Now when I download the form and fill it, I cant save any of the form data. I see that the security restrictions on the form now have changed. Any idea if I can set these security restrictions so that I can still save the form data?

Issue with parts of a form that repeat with a button

I have added several parts to a form that a user can click to add a new item. The parts are tables that have rows that repeat that are added by clicking a button. This addition of rows works fine. However I am having two issues that I need some assistance with....
1. I have added a table nested within a table. Rows added as a user clicks to add a row. This works fine up to eight rows. Rows beyond eight do not flow to the next page. They seem to be added at the bottom of the second page of added rows (can't see them to know if they adding).
2. The same table, when adding rows, creates rows over a separate table below it. I am not sure why the next table does not get pushed down by adding rows to the table above it.
I am a LiveCycle newbie so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Shane

The subform is not Flowed in the form.. Select the root node (for Example Page1) in the Heirarchy and set the Type to Flowed to address both the issues.
If your Table is wrapped in a Subform, make sure for the Subform you have checked the "Expand to Fit" for Height in the Layout tab.

How to hide parts in a form

Hi, i am developing a web application which is a form that takes information from the user and stores them in a database. i am using oracle's jdeveloper and they have a render property. i am trying to make the form show fields if a check box is checked or is someone with the right credentials is viewing the form. i dont know how to make them appear or disappear, can anyone help me on how to go about this?
thank you in advance

Sounds more like a JSF thing in stead of an Oracle specific thing. JSF components have a rendered attribute with which you can include/exclude them based on some request time expression.
i am trying to make the form show fields if a check box is checked or is someone with the right credentials is viewing the form. i dont know how to make them appear or disappear, can anyone help me on how to go about this?The credentials part can be done with the rendered attribute; the best way I know of is to use a session bean that holds login information, including certain roles the user has. Then in the JSF page you can query the session bean for its credentials using an EL expression, something like:
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{yourBackingBean.checkValue}" rendered="#{user.admin}"/>the "if a checkbox is checked" part is a little vague; the checkbox is already checked when the page is loaded, or part of the form needs to be shown/hidden when as soon as the checkbox is checked?

Column Security Queries generated by FORMS Performs bad on 11g(11.1.0.7)

We are busy Upgrading our DB from 10g (10.2.0.4) to 11g (11.1.0.7).
We are currently using Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2) with Form and Reports connecting to our 10.2.0.4 DB.
The Application Server is not being upgraded as there are compatable with 11g.
However when we point these 10g FORMS to the 11g DB we have huge performance issues on specific queries generated by FORMS if Block Propoerty "ENFORCE COLUMN SECURITY"=Y.
The query that 11g strugles with - for example is:
SELECT obj.object_type, obj.object_name, obj.owner
INTO :b0, :b1, :b2
FROM
(SELECT o.object_type, o.object_name, o.owner
FROM all_objects o,
all_synonyms s
WHERE s.synonym_name = :b1
AND s.owner = :b2
AND s.table_owner = o.owner
AND s.table_name = o.object_name
) obj
WHERE obj.object_type IN ('TABLE', 'VIEW', 'SYNONYM');
This query executes for almost 60 seconds - to check the Users Privs to access an Object.
Question:
HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS DURING thier 11G upgrade???
I would love to hear from other people with a similar technology if - hoe they have resolved these as it is NOT CODE THAT WE have CUSTOM written, IT IS ORACLE generated code that is performing so terrible on 11g*.
All feedback welcome.
PS: Our solution is to DISABLE Column Security on all our Forms as we control access via our own Security module.

Hi Ashok,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error after you re-built a SharePoint 2007 solution with VS2012, and deployed it.
Make sure the Namespace and Type Name are consistent across all files where indicated. Also with matching case sensitivity. Verify web.config file and assembly in GAC or virtual directory bin folder in post deployment.
More information, please refer to the link below:

Domain level security issue with InfoPath Form

I have followed the article “Submitting Data from InfoPath 2007 to a SharePoint List” which can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc162745.aspx.
But instead I am using SharePoint and InfoPath 2010.
I get the following error after deploying and running the form with its security level set to domain.
“A query to retrieve form data cannot be completed because this action would violate cross-domain restrictions. If this form template is published to a SharePoint
document library, cross-domain access for user form templates must be enabled under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration, and the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file in a data connection library in the same site collection.
If this is an administrator-approved form template, the security level of the form must be set to full trust, or the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file by using the Manage data connection files option under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint
Central Administration.”
How do I get this form working on the server and client using domain level security?
Extra Note: On an additional not the form works fine in SharePoint and InfoPath designer when the security level is set to Full Trust.

Hi, Is this possible over a SharePoint "LIST"? I'm hitting brick walls and can't set the Security level on my form at all. Everything that I'm reading refers to Document Libraries but nothing about SharePoint List. It seems that this should work over a list,
but I'm hitting brick walls all the way around. Here is a copy of the question that I posed below under Todd.Wilder's post:
Hi,
Following this forum question/comment I am attempting to set the security on my Infopath form to Full Trust. But, I don't have the Security and Trust option. I can set the Trusted Location through the Trust Center but I can't find anywhere to set security.
I am using InfoPath 2010. What am I missing? Everything that I'm reading says that this is the problem and my error message is exactly like SomeGuy's message. One more piece to this is...this is a form over an Existing SharePoint List. I've found that I can
see the Security if I start InfoPath and start a New Blank Form, but by editing the form from a SharePont list, the option to edit Security is not there. HELP!!
I am following the instructions below that come from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee526352.aspx
The InfoPath form designer automatically selects the appropriate security level (either Restricted or Domain) based on the features that you are using in the form. The security setting is always as restrictive as possible, starting at Restricted, to help
ensure a greater level of protection for you and your data. Users can manually override this automated setting to select a level of security that is more appropriate for the form by following these steps:
Click the File tab, and then click Form Options on theInfo tab.
In the Categories list, click Security and Trust.
Uncheck the Automatically determine security level (recommended) check box.
Select the desired security level.
Thank you,

Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.

We have an SharePoint services 3.0 installation that uses custom web parts on 100s of subsites. The custom web parts on any website is presenting this error
Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.
This past weekend we decided to create a new database server and migrate the databases to the new server in an effort to retire an old box.
INitially we attempted to go through the configuration wizard which didnt do anything but add a new database server to our farm. What we have done is remove the new database server from the farm and use an alias on the SP server to continue to use
the same name but actually get its data from the new database server.
Everything works with the site except these custom webparts.
Any thoughts on where to go to first, should i redeploy what i think are the webparts from VS 2005 (solutions are VS 2005 slns.)?
Tony Spaulding

You need to make Safe Control enteries in your web.config for the particular web application.
Open web.config
Locate the SafeControls Tag
Make a safe control entry
<SafeControl Assembly="Assembly name, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d8eb6481d8b4beec" Namespace="your webpart namespace" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
In order to find the assembly details, Open the GAC. Right click on your dll and then click properties.

Saving part of fillable form as non-fillable pdf

I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer.
The top part of the form needs to be filled in by one office, and then once the fields are filled in they need to be "locked" for editing and sent on to a third party.
The third party needs to have the option of filling out the bottom part of the form without being able to modify the top part.
Is this possible?
I see in other threads that someone created a 'Lock all Fields' button. However, I don't know how to write script that would customize the button to lock only certain fields.
Also, I tested that document; the Lock button does work, but when you save the form and email it, the form fields become unlocked.
Are there any ideas on how to make this button work so that once the fields are locked, they stay locked?

Here are some postes that can help you....
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2134982#2134982
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2125137#2125137
the first URL has one samle PDF attached which has "Lock All Fields" button at the bottom. I checked the script and it is prepared to handle each subform individually withe the line of code in 'click' event myScriptObject.LockAllFields(form1); the user is passing entire form in this case but if you pass just the subform name that you wish to lock that will work....incase you need to lock more than one subform you would modify code to following...
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub1);
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub2);
rest will be automatically taken care....but to open up fields that are locked you need to modify the function LockAllFields() under myScriptObject variable and add new function in the same location gvie it a new name ....like OpenAllFields()....but instead of currentElement.access
="readOnly"; you would use currentElement.access ="open"; which will help unlock the fields in that subform.
then your final script may look like under the "Lock/UnLock Fields" button.
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub1);
myScriptObject.LockAllFields(sub2);
myScriptObject.UnLockAllFields(sub3);
myScriptObject.UnLockAllFields(sub4);
Hope that helps.
Good luck,

Infopath Form Web Part not showing form

Hello,
I recently edited a list form in a InfoPath 2010 and published it to my site. When clicking on "Add new item" it works fine. The new form shows up and all is well. The idea though was to enable the form from a separate page by using
the InfoPath Form Web Part. We have other forms setup this way on our site that work fine, but for some reason, when I added the web part to the page, pointed it at the list and set the custom content types (only single option anyways as the list is
built on a custom content type) nothing is displayed within the web part.
I can't find any difference between my form and the already created forms, but as I didn't create the ones that are working I may have missed some setting. There is no error, no message, just a blank web part... Actually, that's not true. When I
check in the page I see nothing. But when I publish it, I see only a close link and a bit of a header div.
If anyone would happen to have seen this before, know what it is or know how to fix it I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you.

Hi David,
From your description, you published an InfoPath form to SharePoint list, and it worked well in the list. However, when you added an InfoPath form web part to another page, it displayed as image.
I could not reproduce the issue, I just selected list and content type, left all other settings as default, it displayed as expected. Did I miss anything during reproducing your issue? Did you make any customization to web part or InfoPath form?

Form function security (how to make form Updatable)

Hi...friends...
I have one standard oracle form. Data of that form is updatable in 11.5.7 instances...I can insert,update and delete.
But, we had upgraded Apps to 11.5.10...so, now the same form data is not updatable..I can insert, but cant delete or update...
So, is there any thing like form function security attached with that form or responsibilities in previous version... which are not in new 11.5.10 ??
How can I make that form contents updatable through Sys. Admin. concept.
(not through Form Builder Design)
Thanks in advance....

Thank you guys..
actually, it was a bug with 11.5.7 oracle versions specific to one check box value.
it was treating check box values as,
i) checked then 'Y
ii) Null then 'Null' ------- the problem was here...due to null, query was not fetching data and that form is having flag which understands only 'Y' or 'N'
iii) not checked then 'N'
anyway thanks to u all...

Is Developer Suite part of OAS Forms and Reports Services?

Hi,
I installed OAS Forms & Reports services ( 10.1.2.0.2 ) from the CD's. Installation was successful. I cannot find the 10g forms builder ( frmbld.sh ) in $ORACLE_HOME/bin. This metalink doc 358712.1 says, forms builder is part of developer suite.

If it is not, where can I find it?

Hi,
Thanks for bearing with me. I am a bit confused here.
I have 2 sets of CD's here.

This set contains:
Portal/Discoverer/SSO/OID/Discoverer, Business Intelligence & Forms.
Infrastructure (with Metadata Repository DB)
Middle-tier (Business Intelligence & Forms)
2nd Set of CD's : 2 Oracle Application Server Forms & Reports Services ( 10.1.2.0.2) CD's
This set contains:
I guess this set only contains the components needed to depoy forms & reports on the web. Is this correct?.
We develop forms & Reports as well, so I need to install the Developer Suite as well. Is the developer suite part of the 1st Set of 5 CD's ( Business Intelligence & Forms ) ?
In the URL, I see "Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)" only for Windows, Linux, Solaris. Not for HPUX. I am on HPUX v1. Is there a developer suite 10g for HPUX v1?. I see only JDeveloper for HPUX.
