Securing pdf as scheduling format ..

Hello,
because of strict data privacy guidelines we have among others to secure outgoing pdf-Reports, erspecially from content copiying or extracting. PDF-Documents could normally be prevented from copy or cut. (see Document properties then security tab of any pdf or following link ..)
Link: [http://www.a-pdf.com/security/PDF_security_properites.gif]
Surely the user will have other workarounds for copiying data but for the first we want to switch on the pdf security option for outgoing reports ..
Question is there any possibility in BusinessObjects SDK or third party programmation to do that ..?

Hi,
With regards to your query, this functionality is not available in BusinessObjects Products.
Please refer to SAP Note - 1302401
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,

Securing pdf by scheduling webi Report (PdfWriter.AllowCopy)

Hello,
triying to secure the pdf-instances of report scheduling in BO trough deactivating the PDF-SecurityOption "PdfWriter.AllowCopy"
publication extensions should offer this possibility to secure pdf-files by scheduling. Unfortunately only for Crystal Reports files. But we need it for Web Intelligence docs ..
SAP also offers an SDK sample for this purpose ..
[SAP Sample Code: Java Enterprise BE12 Create-Publication CR-PDF |www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/9074bb6f-3857-2c10-bcab-be13735881d4]
the interesting part of this sample is the following ..
mergeOption.securityOption = new SecurityOption(PDF_USER_PASSWORD, PDF_OWNER_PASSWORD,
PdfWriter.AllowCopy| PdfWriter.AllowPrinting | PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders)
Since it is working only for Crystal Reports, The question is:
is there a possibility to manipulate code in order to generate a PDF-Plugin for only deactivating the security Option "PdfWriter.AllowCopy" before publication delivery .. ??
How can i realize that .. ?
Thanks ..

You would need to create your own publication extension. The one that is provided only works with the PDF version that Crystal Reports generates.

Can the online PDF converter convert secure PDFs to Word format?

I have a PDF with copy protection set. Will the online PDF converter still convert it to Word format?

Amplifying George's reply:
Will Adobe ExportPDF convert any type of PDF file?
Adobe ExportPDF will convert the vast majority of PDF files available today, including PDF files containing scanned documents.
There are a few types of PDF files that cannot be converted, however.
These include, but are not limited to,
PDF Portfolios,
PDF files that require a password to open the document, or
PDF files that have permissions applied to prevent copying, or altering of the content.
ExportPDF is also not capable of converting hand-written documents to Microsoft Office, due to the non-standard nature of each individual's handwriting.

Permission options in Secure PDF

Hello,
I have created an application to create secure pdf (Encrypted PDF). I need to test whether the permission option generated for the pdf are correct or not.
How do I test that? Is there any reference document or test report which gives information about that?
For example if the resulting permisson value is say -3372 what should be the value of options in the "Document Restrictions Summary" and "Document security".
Which should be the software used to verify the permission option? In Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 9.0 the options are different. So is the case with Acrobat reader.
Thanks in advance.

The PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 defines what the values means - that's authoritative. Just compare the values in your file with the values in the standard.
You can, of course, choose to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to see what they report in their UI - but that's not always a direct match to the file format.

Secure PDFs and applications like Abobe Digital Editions are completely dismissing the needs of the Dyslexic reader.

Hi all,
I am a dyslexic who has difficulty in reading and writing, however the advances in technology have enabled me and people like me the ability to engage with books, manuals and documents using text to speech packages. Whilst it is true that screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA and others have an ability to read the textual representations on a screen, they are not ideal (such as having difficulty in dealing with text flow), and there very essence is designed with visually impaired users in mind and not the dyslexic. The software of choice for the dyslexic (well for me at least) is Read and Write by Texthelp - a package that enables user such as me to properly read documents in a variety of formats and layouts, plus many other features, such as word highlighting, screen masking, dictionary lookups etc. etc.
Read and Write has a plug-in called PDFAloud that attaches itself to a standard Acrobat Reader or Editor to enable the user to read a PDF, however, with the advent of publishers wanting to secure their copyright by creating things like secure PDFs, this facility is not able to work in the correct fashion. It has therefore stopped people like me from being able to get the most out of those documents as the reading software no longer has the ability to read the text within the page in a sensible format (yes, Read and Write has screen reading abilities, but as mentioned these are not ideal). By locking out such software to read the documents natively, you are effectively excluding a whole group of users that have specific learning difficulties. In some circles this could be seen as discriminatory.
We need a way for software manufacturers and publishers to communicate in order that all users across all groups are catered for in the correct fashion, and not simply as a way for publishers to protect their own interests. It should not be difficult for companies like Adobe to provide the platform on which publishers can securely release electronic printed material, yet also provide the ability for third party developers to interact with that platform and thus help users who have specific needs. Crikey, if I wanted to copy the material, I could simply screen dump it - you are never going to stop a determined user from copying copyrighted material, but you are going to severely limit the ability of users with needs.
Chris

I must say that after being FORCED to use this application, I can see that this is going to turn out to be an absolute horrendous and painful experience!Not only is there no support for my dyslexic software, but even basic reading navigation is non existent - and all this from a piece of software in its fourth generation!!!!
The literature I am trying to read is produced in partnership with the UK HM Government.I cannot believe that they have willingly decided to produce documentation in this format, both tying themselves into a product that seems to be little more than a beta version, and deliberately ignoring the needs of a large group of users that have difficulty with reading.Talk about make a difficult job worse.Well done the UK Government, TSO, Axelos (the Intellectual Property owners of the material I'm trying to read - which all relates to "Best Practice", if you can believe that) and well done Adobe.
To compound all of this I found a post on these very forums that was submitted back in 2011 from a lady who again had been forced into using this product through eBook purchases for her son, and again highlighted the fact that it was incompatible with his dyslexia software.Her post received the expected response from Adobe that I fear will be forthcoming with regard to this query - i.e. nothing.

Highlighting text & adding notes to a secured pdf

Hi,
I have a secured pdf (locked for edit) which is fine by me, but why can't I highlight the text or add notes to that PDF?
Am i missing something? I am not altering the text or anything, just highlighting it...
Other application, as well as the Windows 8 reader do allow it!
I am using Adobe PDF reader touch for Windows 8.
Thanks

We bought a PDF book from the site that you mentioned and inspected the document restrictions. The PDF book is encrypted.
Currently, Adobe Reader Touch does not support any changes to encrypted PDF documents, even if the document permissions allow "Changing the document" or "Commenting".
We hope to offer the capability of making changes to encrypted PDF in a future release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

How to download a page in pdf or doc format

Hi,
I want to download a content of page in pdf or doc format through a button.
How can I acheive it.
I created a salary page and now want to download this page directly in pdf or doc format, how to do it.
Using Peopltools 8.49
PS HRMS 9.0
plz help.
Many thanks...

The entire solution would be too large and complex to post. Here are some pointers to get you going. One alternative is to use BI/XML Publisher to create the output document and launch it from a button on the page (PeopleCode and Derived/Work record). Another alternative is to use Apache POI to generate a doc and iText to generate PDF. Customers have used all of these approaches.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Is there a way to extract iMessages from Mac to PDF or .txt format?

I've been searching the net but to no avail. All results point to backing up/extracting iMessages from iDevices other than a Mac. I'm going to change my Apple ID and I want to at least have a copy of the previous convos I had if PDF or .txt format. Thanks in advance!

HI,
If you have the Save on Close option enabled in Messages > Preferences > Messages then all Chats and conversations are saved.
They can be recalled any time.
1) In the Messages app the File Menu > Recent Items will list the last X number of chats.
X is the number set in System Preferences > General pane about the number of Documents, Applications and Servers shown in such lists.
2) old migrated iChat Saved chats are in Your Home Folder/Documents/iChats
3) New Saves are in your Home Folder/Library/Messages/Archive although this Library is Hidden.
In th Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Messages into the dialogue box that appears.
I have 10 non iMessages accounts as well as my iMessages account logged in when I am on line.
I can call up any of the last Chats shown in Recent Items no matter which account they came from (different Screen Name or Jabber IDs or even Bonjour chats)
I have not actually changed my iMessages ID to check but the app will continue to save to the same Folder and it should be able to retrieve recent ones.
Visiting the folder and double clicking an older chat tends to launch it in a new window separate from the Messages Window itself (no Side bar no, Text field at the bottom, no "To" spot).

Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

Hi,
I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
Thanks
anand

Hi,
Can someone help me on this please?
I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
Any help on how to solve this will be great.
Thanks

How do you make a secure pdf form editable?

How do you make a secure pdf file editable?

The best way is to apply a digital signature to the file. Any other way can
be manipulated quite easily.

Problems with secure PDFs in Preview

I recently saved and secured a PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9. While the document is secure when I open it with Adobe Acrobat or Reader, there is no security when I open up the same document with Preview... So much for the 256 bit encryption...
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Barry

Wow! So much for all the money Adobe put into securing PDFs...
Thanks for your help.
