Security Settings and Field Extraction

Hello, I've run into a bit of a problem in .NET(C#) when trying to automate data extraction from a PDF. Specifically, I get an error stating "The document's security settings prohibit the operation being performed". The security method applied to the document is "No Security". However, the document restrictions summary says changing the document, document assembly and creation of template pages is not allowed. Below the restrictions is a paragraph that indicates that the document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. It says that I may create a copy of the document that is not restricted by using File > Save a Copy. Using the copy, I'm able to extract the data that I need.
Is there a way that I can go about removing the restrictions from the document, either on the creation side, which is done manually, or on the programming side? I haven't found a way to duplicate the "Save a Copy" functionality with AcroAppClass.Save(). Exporting data is also disabled b/c of the restrictions. I noticed that I can extract pages manually and save them to a new document, which gets rid of the restrictions, but I couldn't find a way to do that via the PIAs.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Ahh, I overlooked GetType(). Thanks.
Calling the saveAs method works fine when just passing one parameter (a file name to save to), but when trying to pass multiple parameters I get an internal exception. I may be passing the parameters wrong, but I'm not sure.
For example:
object[] arguments = new object[] { @"c:\call\test.pdf"};
mJSObject.GetType().InvokeMember("saveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, mJSObject, arguments);
The documentation says there are 5 parameters:
cPath, cConvID, cFS, bCopy, bPromptToOverwrite
I tried using:
object[] arguments = new object[] { @"c:\call\test.pdf", Missing.Value, Missing.Value, true, Missing.Value" };
and this:
object[] arguments = new object[] { @"c:\call\test.pdf", "com.adobe.acrobat.jpeg" };
Unfortunately, I get "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" when attempting to save using either of the above two methods.

  • IE 7 patch resets security settings and disables Apex login

    I have a working Apex app, and the users must use IE as one of our other applications is not certified for Firefox. Well, everything was working fine on Thursday, we were off Friday. This morning, the main Login button doesn't do anything, and I can't even log into the dev console. Firefox does seem to work.
    It seems patch KB980182 resets some security settings, and the Login button doesn't do anything.
    I set added my site to the Trusted Site list and everything is working now. Just another notch on my "I hate MS" totem.

  • Problems with security settings and itunes updates! What do I do?

    So I preordered a cd that became available today. When I went to download it, a message came up saying that I need to download the latest version of itunes (7.-[can't remember the last part]but anyways) so I clicked on the upgrade icon. I then got a message saying "your current security settings do not allow this." No matter what I do with my security settings I keep getting this same message! I have windows xp, please help I would really really like to be able to download and listen to the cd I've paid for! Thank you in advance!

    Maybe you aren't on an admin account in Windows? If not, create/logon to one and install it.
    Or maybe you just need to go to the website and download it instead of updating through iTunes. Go here:

    which security settings did you try to alter? Do you have a USB mouse that you could use in place of your non-operating trackpad?

  • HT2204 E-mail address now defunct but apple doesn't recognise my security settings and old password is now invalid?

    Hi,
    Our original apple ID was a hotmail email address that has now been closed down as it was had a virus. I KNOW we should have changed it to our new e- mail address, but we were able to use it and log in with our password.
    I have now tried to download an app and apple says my password is incorrect - it isn't, I've put it in dozens of times today and its definatley the once we have always used. As I don't have the option of changing my password via e-mail, I have gone through the security questions and apple are saying that ALL of these are also incorrect. These are basic things like date of birth, childhood street etc.
    A such we cannot download anything on the iPad. Other people have had this problem with defunct e- mail addresses and it seems apple has re- set the passwords and security questions meaning we cannot access anything?
    Does anyone have any advice they can offer us?
    Thanks
    Esther

    It sounds like maybe your son may have changed the Primary email address for your apple id to his email address.
    If you are certain that you have the right password, try signing in to the apple id website under HIS email address and your password at appleid.apple.com
    If you can, than that is what he did and you only need to change it back to yours.
    Then have him create his own apple id properly with his own email address.
    He'll need to be at least 13 in order to be able to do it under his own birthday.
    Heres' a really easy way for him to set it up without requiring your credit card.

  • How do I change my security settings and make them STAY changed?

    I have set my settings in Tools - Options - Privacy - Never remember history - about a thousand times now, but it never STAYS set to that. It keeps reverting back to Use custom settings for history instead, which is annoying in the extreme and is ultimately a security risk.
    This has only happened since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 - it was set on Never remember history in the previous version and remained on that beautifully. How do I get this newer version to retain what I set it at please???? It's driving me mental!!!!

    Only if all settings are the default then you will see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
    The "Use custom settings for history" choice reverts to "(Never) Remember history" if all History and Cookies settings are the default.<br />
    If you see "Use custom settings for history" then at least one of the History / Cookie settings is not the default.
    If you select "Never Remember history" then you enter Private Browsing mode and "Permanent Private Browsing mode" will be selected.

  • Any way to exclude BPC security settings and profiles from backup/restore?

    We are on BPC 10 MS and restoring the PROD version to a DEV environment, but do not want to restore the security profiles.   Need to figure this out before new BPC development is sent back to PROD with same b/u restore process.  DEV security is different than PROD and we do not want the security profiles/settings in DEV to overlay PROD...

    No automate process to maintain different set of users in both environments while restoring . Manually manage after refreshed based on required user profiles.

  • Security settings and problems

    Hi there,
    I need my new airport express set at WEP (because one computer in the house is old and cannot connect with a WPA). However, when I manually set my airport to WEP, I cannot connect other computers to the network. I tried no security--the same problem. When I tried the default WPA2, both my newer Macs connected just fine. However, the old PC cannot. Unfortunately, that old PC really does have to connect.
    Any experience or advice? My old airport, which is three years old, was able to connect via WEP just fine.
    Perhaps the new airports are simply not able to configure to a WEP security. Would that mean I'd have to return the airport and get a non-Mac router? <shudder>
    Thank you.

    Airport Express should support WEP. The fact that your computers can't access the wireless network when you have no security tells me that it isn't a WEP problem. I'm assuming you have configured your airport for settings you want to keep. If you back up this configuration, then reset the Airport, you should be able to access it through its default network. Assuming that you know how do do this (since you configured it in the first place) can your macs now see the Airport? If so, you have a configuration problem - or perhaps a corrupt configuration.
    WEP configuration guidelines that might help can be found here:

  • Flash Security Settings and Random Questions not Displaying

    Hey folks,
    I created a Captivate 4 project with 3 slides and a question pool of about 70 questions in which I am randomly pulling in. I am using IE7 and Flash 10. Publishing in Flash 10. If I publish or view in Preview in a web browser the project launches, plays the first 3 slides, and then goes blank when the first question should appear. Note: previewing the project AND publishing the project as an .exe does launch and display all the questions correctly. It ends up being a flash security issue. I went to the adobe site and via the Adobe Flash Player Security Manager" I entered in the main .SWF captivate-generated file as a trusted file and then re-ran the published captivate project and it ran correctly. Question is ... what do I need to do to set up flash or my project so I don't have to do this for every new project that I deploy? I don't want to have the users have to go in and add whatever I deploy as a trusted file. It's also a little confusing as to why the first three slides played and it stopped at the questions ... seems like if it's not a trusted file, that it wouldn't run at all.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello again
    I think I'd be investigating a temporary web server to host on until things are ready. Here's where it will help.
    By providing files to the end users, if you are copying files over you end up having to explain how to save the files. You then have to walk them through setting the Flash Security so they can properly view. It all just becomes a pain in the kazoo.
    If you can find some server space, you simply upload the content and provide a link for the users to view the content.
    Other than that, if you are insistent that copying is the way to fly, I might suggest you establish a known location where you want everyone to copy their files. Perhaps C:\TestFolder. Then provide some instruction on how to configure the folder with the relaxed Flash Security. From there forward, anything they copy to the folder should need no security adjustment.
    Cheers... Rick

  • HT5624 account disabled for security settings and timed out

    How do I disable my account as unable to enter my password as timed out message appears every time and also a message
    my account has been disabled for security reasons

    See this support article:
      Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons"  appears
    and then reset your account, as in "I forgot ..." on the My AppleID page.
    Reset your account password
    If your account was partially disabled for security reasons, use iForgot (http://iforgot.apple.com/) to reset your account. This should restore your access to the disabled services. You can also click the “Reset Password” or “Forgot Password?” buttons that appear in the alert message.

  • Field status settings and field selection in DBM Order

    Hi,
    I would like to make a specific field mandatory in the DBM Order. The field is "Supplying Plant" which can be found in transaction /dbm/order03 under the "Parts" tab in the section "Procurement Proposal"
    Appreciate if anyone has any ideas about how this can be done? If there's a config setting via SPRO that would be great else I suppose we would have to use an exit. I would like to avoid the latter.
    Thanks,
    Sikandar

    Hello,
    You can not make this field mandatory from SPRO. You might need to use BADI - /DBM/BADI_ PREQ.
    Not sure why you want to make this field mandatory because this field is specifically used when you purchasing parts from outside. So if you have part already available why you would like to purchase it?
    If you trying to chive to not to allow user to create PR / PO without supplying plant then you can make this field Mandatory at PR screen level
    OLME - PR - Define Screen Layout at document Level and make this field Mandatory

  • I cannot get into the iTunes store on my computer.  The last time I was able to do so was in February. The website doesn't help me. I authorized it on my Security Settings and it still doesn't work.

    I need help configuring my computer for the iTunes store. What can I do?

    You don't have the iPad connected to the computer with the cable while you are trying to download apps on the iPad do you?
    I'm running out of ideas here. Try this, reboot your iPad and then try again. If you are connected to the computer, disconnect the iPad first.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Security settings on pdf files

    I have created a form in Word and then added fillable fields under a trial Acrobat Pro.  In beta testing (basically e-mails to myself and my staff), I find the form can't be saved by the recipient.  I have gone into security settings and have "no security" set.  I am thinking this is purely a function of the fact I am using Acrobat Pro as a trial user and that when I buy the software, I will be able to solve this security issue, but I would like confirmation of my belief.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    In order for Reader users to save a filled-in form, the document has to be Reader-enabled unless they're using Reader 11. To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 11, select: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
    but exit form editing mode first.
