Security: preventing save-and-resell?

Is there any mechanism to prevent an end-user from saving a copy of elearning generated by Captivate then distributing it to third parties?
We are looking at using Captivate for an extensive set of online learning courses for which we will charge money. A significant concern is that someone could pay to take the online learning, save the files and then begin selling them as their own, or putting them on bittorrent.
Is there any way to prevent this? Or is it basically the same no-security as publishing a Powerpoint file on the web?
Thanks

Hi Eric,
You can use the "expiration" feature to do this. There are times this might not be the "best" solution, but it is "a" solution. Go to PREFERENCES (How you get there depends on your version of Captivate but check the EDIT menu first). The expiration date feature is located in the PROJECT > START and END.
Hope this helps.

Security - Preventing "Save As" Functionality

I am a user of Version 8 and have established password security in its strictest form. My problem is that the Save As functionality is not prevented. So you can perform a Save As file operation. The new file does retain all the password security that was established with the parent file. I need to find a way to prevent the Save As file operation from being performed. As it is, when posted a pdf on the web, the user can still save a copy to their system. I am having a tremendous problem with copyright infringement.
Any suggestions?

What is a bid process issues? The files is question are public display for free genealogical research. So you want the user to view the file, but not copy or edit the file. Preferentially, I would not be adverse to printing. But print to scan to reformat is an easy step; so no printing. I also wish to prevent screen extraction / mining / scraping whatever it is called. Which, I believe, would stop most data miners. But I use FreeFind to index my pdf data files for the search capability that is provided. Although FreeFind contends that it will block their index; I need to put it to the test. I would hate to lose search capabilities.
For the low to average user PDF security is a low cost and effective approach to copyright infringement.

Prevent save and overwrite of original fillable form

I am creating a fillable form that will be saved on our agency server. I would like to prevent the original file from being overwritten by a filled in version of the form. Is there a way to prevent a completed form from being saved over the original?
I understand that users will be able to use the "save as" functions. I only want to maintain the integrity of the original form by preventing users from saving information into the original file.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I tried making the file read only by clicking on the file, right clicking and choosing properties and on the General Properties screen placing a check mark next to read-only. Unfortunately, after I do this, the form is still allowing for saving directly over the original file. Did I miss a step?

Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE]. This works very well when in Outlook. It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office. The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely. We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.
How can I get Encrypt Message to work in all instances?
Thank you.

Security settings: prevent "save as..." !?

Hello there, I am using Acrobat 9 standard and would like to know how I can manage to set up security settings of a document in such a way that the "save as..." menue-entry will be disabled.
I can manage to prevent printing and saving the same document again - no problem. But I need to make sure that the reader of a document does not save it under a different name.
How can this be done?
Thanks for any advice.
Wolfgang Armbruster

We _are_ using Acrobat Reader to display these files within an Intranet. If you open such a file as an embedded PDF in Firefox you will see a buttonbar at the top with icons to print and to save and so on.
I do not have problems to make the print icon greyed out and unusable. But I need to do the same thing with the "save as" icon.
And are you really saying this can not be done? Acrobat support told me before buying the software "this can be done"... though they will not tell me how... I need to clarify this in some forums...
So I'm still hoping to get better advice...!?

How to save and then close document Using Acrobat 9 (URGENT)

I have been looking for a soultion for long time now but
couldn't find any.
I'm using a dynamic PDF form desgined using LC Desginer and created a button that should save the current opened form in the same location (no need to define the location because what I want to use is the command File -> Save) and then close the application (I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended).
I tried many scripts and gone throw JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference but no luck.
Once I click on the button I get the following error: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Will you please help in this issue as it took long time and my project manager is pushing to get resolved ASAP.
Guys, I'm new to this kind of tecnology so please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
The code I used in click event of the button is as follow:
try{
     var myDoc = app.newDoc();
     myDoc.saveAs();
     myDoc.closeDoc(true);
catch (e)
     xfa.host.messageBox(""+e);
I used this earlier and got the same error:
try{
      var myDoc = event.target;
     myDoc.saveAs();
catch (e)
     xfa.host.messageBox(""+e);

Hi Niall,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The app.execMenuItem works here. Is your form designed to be opened in Acrobat/Reader or are you opening the form in html?
The form will be opened by Acrobat/Reader. The statement worked but what I need is to save the PDF in the current location without popping up the Save As dialog box. In other words I would like to perform Ctrl+Saction and then exit the application not only close the form because the Content Management Solution we are using will require the application to be closed so it can CheckIn the document.
I tried to use app.execMenuItem("Save"); but it seems it is not working because once I try to close the application or the form using app.execMenuItem("Close"); the do you want to save changes to "FORM" before closing? dialog box pops-up.
For closing the application I tried app.execMenuItem("Exit"); and I got this error: InvalidArgsError: Invalid arguments.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}Also you may want to consider how you are reader enabling the form. If you are using Acrobat to extend the form, then certain features like database connections will not work.
The customer has Adobe LC Reader Extension so I will use it to extend the PDF but right now I do use Acrobat so I don't need to extend the PDF everytime I need to test it.
Can I get all the arguments that execMenuItem uses?
I really appreciate your help Niall.

How to disable "Save" and "Print" icons?

Hello,
I need to publish a pdf file in our company's site.
According to my boss requirement, the file should be "read only".
I just can't to disable those "save" and "print" icons.
How can I make the read-only file?
Thank you in advance,
Marina Levy

You can set up the document's security to not allow printing and making changes to the document, but you cannot prevent someone from saving a copy if you make it available for them to view. With digital rights management software, such as Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Management, you cna have much more control over what people can do with a document.

BOXI R3 Webi Doc -"Refresh On Open" checked as default for Save and Save As

we have row level security at database level and we require that all webi reports are set to "Refresh on Open" in order to apply the security settings each time the report is viewed.
Is it possible to make BOXI R3 Webi Document -"Refresh On Open" checked as default for "Save" and "Save As"
through SDk?

Are you referring to editing/creating a Webi doc through infoview? Infoview is an out of the box web application and modification of it is not supported. There is no setting to make all webi docs refresh on open within the enterprise product.
The only thing you could do with the sdk is to open any existing doc and change the setting. This isn't a great solution as it won't affect any new reports created, nor will it prevent users from modifying the document and changing this setting and saving.

Save and Save As options are greyed out

I have an install of Adobe X Standard. An external source is sending in PDFs which are marked as Secured. However, according to the creator of these documents, only editing has been locked down, not Save or Save As functionality. When I open the document, all Edit functionality, as well as Save and Save As are greyed out.
This is a new install of Adobe X. These documents could previously be saved using the same version of Adobe, but that machine needed to be re-installed due to OS instability. After re-installing Windows 7, then Adobe X, then updating to 10.1.13, these functions are now missing. I have no idea as to why. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Again, I've verified with the original creating that Save functionality shouldn't be disabled.

There is no security setting that locks out save/save as.
Save is greyed out when a file has not yet been changed, so that is normal. Save AS should not be greyed out at all. Don't know why that should happen.

CRM 2013 - "Save and Close" button behavnig like "Save and New"

Hi,
I am working in CRM 2013. I have a scenario in which I am saving new opportunity product record through javascript and preventing original save of CRM. Save is working fine. After save, I need to refresh the screen. So I have used "Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm"
to open newly created item in edit mode. When I click on "Save and Close" button on this new form in edit mode, instead of closing the opportunity product screen, it opens new entity form. So in short, after saving the record, if I click on "Save
and Close", it behaves like "Save and New".
Any one facing such issue?

Save & Close seems to behave like the Save & "Back" Button, so the form tries to return to the new form, that was opened before.
But I have no solution for this behavior...

Save and load public/private RSA key on file

hi
i'm triyng to save and load an RSA key to a file
i generate the keys:
        KeyPairGenerator generator=null;
        KeyPair coppia=null;
        PrivateKey c_privata=null;
        PublicKey c_pubblica=null;
            generator=KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
            //imposto la dimensione
            generator.initialize(1024);
            //genero le 2 chiavi
            coppia=generator.genKeyPair();
            //imposto la privata
            c_privata=coppia.getPrivate();
            //imposo la pubblica
            c_pubblica=coppia.getPublic();
//i save the key
        FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("key");
        file.write(c_pubblica.getEncoded());
        file.close();and then i use another program that imports the key:
   Key chiave=null;
   FileInputStream file=new FileInputStream("key");
   byte[]byte_chiave=new byte[162];
             X509EncodedKeySpec chiave_spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(byte_chiave);
            KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
            chiave = keyFactory.generatePublic(chiave_spec);but when i try to reload he key i get:
java.security.InvalidKeyException: IOException : DER input, Integer tag error
where am i wrong?
thanks

sorry...
this is the correct code:
        Key chiave=null;
        FileInputStream file=new FileInputStream(path);
        byte[]byte_chiave=new byte[file.available()];
        System.out.println("leggo: "+file.read(byte_chiave));
        X509EncodedKeySpec chiave_spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(byte_chiave);

        chiave = keyFactory.generatePublic(chiave_spec);

Security 2009-01 and Java release 8 - which first?

Software update shows it's time for Security 2009-01 and Java Release 8. Java comes first on the list.
I do updates via downloads from Apple and install later. Should I install the Java release first?
Mrs H
BTW - The updates for Security used to indicate "Client" or "Server". This one just indicates Tiger PPC, Intel Tiger, Server Tiger, Leopard Server etc - has Client gone by the wayside?

Hi BDA,
A Safe Boot will prevent most of those from interfering, btw, this G4 I did the Alphabetically...
Alphabetically! Well, I'll be... I thought there was some secret significance here to the sequence - for example, you must do QT before iT.
...updating to had 5 Firewire Drives, 2 eSata Drives, 14 USB Devices besides the KB & Mouse, and four USB RAID Drives hooked up to it during the Updates... no problem here.
So maybe I don't have to disconnect my modem? (I leave the printer disconnected anyway, so I can connect to whichever Mac I need for printing)
Was that Klaus that told you that! (about points)? LOL
No, just my own thinking.
Yes indeed, thank you again, great news that you're getting more comfortable/knowledgeable about your Macs!
And it's only taken 20 years of working with Macs to do that!

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.
