Sending forms as read only after they are filled out

Hello, I am having lots of issues with the latest form I am doing in Adobe Designer 7.0. I am not experienced at all with this software. My question I think is easy but nothing ever is. When I submit forms with a submit button to an email address can the attached pdf be set to be read only so the recipient can not make changes to it?
Pleae help....
Thanks in advance.

Hi Crysta,
you could add some functionality in your form. On the email submit add code to set a value (of an invisible field or directly in the data). Next, in the form ready, run a script that checks if the value has been set, if so, then set the access of the form to "readOnly". Please note that this is no real security. If you need that, you should use encryption and signature fields.

Hi Venkata,
Same thing happening to me, R12.1.3. Please let me know if you find anything on this.
I tried some steps in this forums related to this, but no change. however I am not worried, customization works perfect after extension, but wanted to know the reason.
Thx..

Outlook 2011 for MAC marks IMAP emails as READ soon after they are received, even though I didnt read them

I have a 2 gmail accounts configured as IMAP on outlook.
Each time I receive an email on these accounts, it will appear as UNREAD for a short while, then, after a couple of syncs, it will turn to READ, even if I do not read it, hover over it, click on it, etc...
I thought that could be a sync problem with my iphone (the same accounts are also configured as IMAP on my iphone) so I switched off the iphone. Same problem
I thought that could be a sync problem with the web interface of gmail so I logged off my accounts on my firefox web browser and exited the browser. Same problem.
I have no other device that connects to my gmail accounts neither in pop nor IMAP.
I have a third email account configured on outlook as pop, and this one works perfectly.
I made sure that Preferences > Reading > "mark mail as read only when opened in a separate window" ... is clicked...
I have also rebuilt my identity, which didn't solve the issue...
The problem happens on outlook for mac 2011 version 14.3.5 and 14.3.6 (just updated outlook to that version).
I am on MAC OS 10.6.8
This has been happening since I decided to use IMAP for my gmail accounts (I was using pop before).
It is very annoying as I regularly miss time critical emails.
Anyone who can point me to a solution or a work around will have my eternal gratitude!!
THanks

I have already changed the default in the preview pane...
Preferences > Reading > "mark mail as read only when opened in a separate window" ... is clicked...
It is something different... maybe a bug...
I hope someone comes up with a workaround! Or at least some other threads that would help me see through... I've been stuck on this for weeks

Track conneactions - DCs are availabe only after they are in production...

Hi
I have 2 SCs in 2 different tracks
SC1 contains EJBs
SC2 contains FE components
since the FE components need to leverage the EJBs I have set up track connections (of type transport) between the 2 SCs (SC1 = source, SC2 = target)
now i need to develop a new feature, that requires changes both in the EJB and in a FE component
it seems like i cant start working on the FE component, until the EJB changes are in production, as the track connection will only transfer the SP to SC2 after it is deployed to production...
I need to work on both components in the same time, and deploy the 2 SPs together?
is it possible?
please try to avoid gicing a solution that involves changing my SC design...
I have made it sound simplistic here for the sake of the SDN quesion, but in reality I have more than 2 SCs and they are interdependent in a way that I have to have all SCs with EJBs in Track1, and all SCs with front end compoenents in Track2.
Thank you

Check Point

Hi Zach,
Apart from waiting till your first set of developments are approved and ready for import in the second track, i dont think there is any other way.

Strange Issue: Hyperion Planning forms becomes read-only and data is wiped out: 11.1.2.2

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I am not new to Hyperion Planning. We are experience a weird issue in our System Test. We notice that some (NOT ALL) of our webforms turn into readonly webforms; all the cells on the form at greyed out. This is inspite of the fact that the read-only checkbox is unchecked on the form as well as security is fine on all dimensions ; basically all the cells on the form are valid combinations.
Still the form become readonly and all the data in that form is wiped-out. this happened only for two web forms so far. We are running bunch of calcs(none of the calcs have cleardata command). we are not sure why is this happening. this might be some bug in the product... not sure. has anyone seen this behaviour before ?
please let me know.

Please Ignore this question. This happened because someone in my team had added an member below a level 0 entity.

How can I print out a form as it looks after it is filled out???

I would like to have people fill out a form then when they
submit it or print it the page will print as it looks on the site
or email the completed form as it appears on the site. I have seen
things like this before but I am not sure how it is accomplished.
Anyone got some input for me?
Thanks
Jamie

what server side language are you using?
You can capture any form data in the page you send the form
to. That page
can display the data, confirm it, or do something else with
it (enter into
db, email, whatever).
For example,
Username: <?php echo $_POST['username'] ?>
Password: <?php echo $_POST['password'] ?>
Would give you the username and password of somebody that
just logged in.
You language specifics will change.

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

Missing Read Emails in Inbox after they are a few days old?

I recently hooked up my AOL IMAP email account to work with Apple Mail. I think i set it up properly as it seems to have been working fine sending & receiving for the past week. However I am now noticing now that the read emails left in my inbox to follow up on are in fact disappearing from the inbox & the entire email application after they are aprox. 2-3 days old. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
J
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

An AOL email account must be created as an IMAP type account with the Mail.app or with any other email client such as the Mail.app.
An IMAP type account's Inbox mailbox in Mail and with other email clients is synchronized with the server. There is no setting in Mail to automatically remove messages from the server for the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account.
This is done by AOL. You can check with AOL but I don't believe there is an available setting at the server to prevent this from occurring when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app.
To avoid this, create and utilize a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox or mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. When moving a received message from the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, the transferred message is stored locally on the hard drive and is also removed from the server at the same time.
This will prevent losing any received messages before AOL automatically purges the account's Inbox mailbox at the server after a designated period of time.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Saving a reader extended PDF form as read-only

Before posting this, I've searched for hours in the forums and the internet on how to accomplish this but I just can't find the solution.
I've created a simple form in Acrobat and saved it with reader extended attributes so it can be saved by my colleagues in Adobe Reader once filled in. The problem now is they need to send these out to customers but in an unfillable state. I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm hoping for a simple solution if anyone could help me out, thanks.

Create a button somewhere on the form and add the following to the Mouse Up event:
// Set these fields to read-only
getField("Text1").readonly = true;
getField("Text2").readonly = true;
getField("Check Box1").readonly = true;
// continue for any other fields
// Hide this button
event.target.display = display.hidden;
Only use the actual field names that you're using in your form. The users should be sure to save to a new file, and I would suggest that they set the blank form to read-only via the file system so they don't accidentally overwrite it.

Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)
