Setting preferences with script

I want to distribute adobe reader on a terminal server and restrict the users from changing the configuration.  I need to uncheck the "open cross-documents links in same window".  I'm hoping to do this with Javascript. 
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Michael but I don't know how to use an installer for this, nor do I know what registry setting would need to be changed.  I am using Windows Server 2008 SP2
Since this will be access through Terminal Server (RDP), it will only be installed once on the server and accessed by multiple users.  I thought that once I changed the setting, it would be effective for all new users but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I've tried using a shared profile but that doesn't do it, either.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Jeff

  • [ASK] Set Network Address Restriction With Script

    Hi all, i have a question about set network address restriction.. if i post in wrong category i'm very sorry about it because i don't know where i supposed to post this..
    i need to set network address restriction to every user in my tree..
    the problem is there is hundreds of user that i need to set the restriction.. i think it will take a lot of time if i do it one by one..
    i created the user with script, and i want to ask whether there is a command to set network address restriction with script or maybe there is another simple way to set network address restriction..
    thanks..

    Is the restriction going to be the same for all users? Depending on what
    "script" you use, you should be able to also set the restriction at the
    same time - its just another attribute value to set.

    Open Mail preferences and select Accounts then MailBox Behavior. You probably need to unclick the safe draft to server.

  • Need help setting up measurementLog scripting

    I'm gruadually getting better at creating script but for some reason I can't get my brain around this one.  I'm trying to set up a script to take measurements of a series of 64 marquees created from an equal number of paths then export that log after the 64th marquee dimension is recorded.  So I"m making a selection from path, recording it's width and height, performing some operations, saving a file, making a new selection from the next path, and repeat.  Ideally I'd like to also record the location of the upper lefthand corner of each marquee at the same time.  I figure one challenge at a time.
    Part of the confusion is the Object Model Viewer and support PDF's are saying one part of the process is accessed from the Application and another is accessed from the Document.  I'm not sure how that would look or what should come first.  Also I've not entirely got my brain around using file path locations in script and how to set those up so that they're universal between Mac and Windows.
    All this combined is causing too many possible reasons for the dreaded ESTK "Undefined is not an object" error so I can't narrow down the reason for my test script failing.  I'm certain if I see the correct way once it'll all make sense, the clouds will part, angels will sing and all will be right... until the next hurdle or the conditions change slightly.
    Please help!  Thanks!
    P.S. I can post my script this is going into if it'll help.  It's a mixture of my stuff, with a Frankensteined mish-mash of contributions I've gotten from others along the way.

    Getting an answer at PS-scripts.  Feel free to post anyway if  you desire.  thanks!  Extra info is always good.

  • Paragraph Alignment question - is it possible with scripting?

    Hello. I am working on a business card template that has a paragraph alignment problem. I have asked in other forums if it was possible, they pointed out that it might be, with scripting.
    I need to know if it is, so I can dig further.
    Here is the problem: I have a name and title on seperate line that need to be aligned to the right margin (the longest line touches the right margin) but centered above or below themselves. The text box is set to receive a large amount of characters. This is an automated system using InDesign Server so no manual adjustments are being made once the information has been submitted.
    Is this possible?

    Again, I don't know anything about ID Server, but you can try this. Label the text frame 'card' (select the frame, go to Window > Automation > Script label and enter a 'card' -- without the quotes).
    try
       tf = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item ('card');
       p0 = tf.paragraphs[0];
       p1 = tf.paragraphs[1];
       p0.justification = Justification.rightAlign;
       p1.justification = Justification.rightAlign;
       p0left = p0.insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset;
       p1left = p1.insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset;
       if (p1left > p0left)
          p1.rightIndent = (p1left-p0left)/2
       else
          p0.rightIndent = (p0left-p1left)/2;
    catch(_){}
    This one doesn't rely on a selection.

  • EVENTS WITH SCRIPTS not visible

    Hi,
    I am not able to see the events with scripts in the SHOW drop down.
    How can I get the above to have the calculations done?
    the version of the designer is 8.0
    Regards

    Hi,
    When it displays in the “default Calendar view” ,it shows "Event Permissions" option under EVENTS ribbon, this option can set permissions for a single
    event. Click
    ” List Settings “
    option under CANLENDAR ribbon, the "Permissions for this list” option can set permissions for the entire calendar.
     When it displays in the "All Events" view, it shows "Shared With" option both 
    in the ITEMS and LIST ribbon. This option under the ITEMS can set permissions for a single event. This option under the LIST can set permissions for the entire calendar.

  • Help with scripting

    Hi
    Iam using Data merge in indesign to produce some school reports to print for pupils in year 11 there are 22 subjects but some of the children only do say 8 of those 22 subjects. i need to be able to automatically delete tables text boxes and pages if they do not display anything on the pages from the data merge. I do have some javascript experience so I'm willing to give the scripting a go to save me masses of time. but I'm unsure what is possible and whether i have set the document up correctly would anyone have the time to check the document and give me some advice on how to set up the scripting for this.
    Im working in CS3 if that makes a difference.

    You can do if-checks with characters, they just have to be enclosed in quotes:
    var fState = this.getField("State").value;
    if ( fState == "MN" ) {
    this.getField("Tax").value = parseInt(this.getField("Total").value) * 0.065;
    That is assuming your field names are "State", "Tax" and "Total".

  • Set preferences

    How do you set preferences in Reader for iPad, such as background color for notes, line weight, etc.?

    For line weight, we just remember the last line weight you used as your value for new lines...we don't have a separate "Preferences" area for changing that.
    We don't yet allow setting the color for sticky notes, but when we do, I expect it to be the same...direct editing with memory, rather than a "preference" as you may have become accustomed to in desktop apps.

  • Customizing The Tool Bar and Setting Preferences Problems

    Need Help With Safari
    While trying to customize the toolbar and setting preferences like setting auto fill, adding Develop or any other preference everything looks fine, I shut down Safari and re-open and everything I changed has been lost.  I've tried removing the P-Lists, re-installing Mountian Lion 10.8.4 and several other things to fix this problem.
    One other thing that happens is, I try to add a new folder to the favorites bar and all it does is loop. once the looping startes I have to force quite.  The only way to add a new folder is on my iPhone or iPad.

    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • Can't set preferences, and other greyed menu choices

    Cannot set preferences for iDVD 06, and most menu choices are greyed.
    [Note: this is NOT the case with all other iLife 06 applications where all menu selections are active.]
    Looking through this forum I tried deleting the files in the library, as seems to be a frequent solution to everythng. This did NOT work in my case.
    This is the only program in iLife06 which has this problem. All the others have active menu selection. I can't even get "About iDVD" to work!
    Thanks for your help. Very frustrated.

    I would start by forcing AppleWorks to create new preference files.
    Quit AppleWorks and go to the Finder.
    In a finder window, go:
    yourname > Library > Preferences
    Locate and select the folder AppleWorks and the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Drag both to the Desktop or to the Trash (but don't empty the Trash).
    Relaunch AppleWorks to check for any change.
    Regards,
    Barry
    NOTE: This will return all preferences to their default settings. AppleWorks will construct new copies of the plist, the folder, and the files in the folder as it needs them. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, and have had no issues related to the Button Bar, you can restore those changes (probably without issues arising) by dragging the Button Bar file from the folder you moved into the new one in Preferences when it is created.

    Edit:
    While your issue does not appear to be caused by the Recent Items bug referenced in Michael's post (after "Also perhaps..", there's no danger in clearing your Recent Items folder as discussed in the linked User Tip. This is a 'regular maintenance' procedure for me.

  • Open CC applications to default preferences with no user input

    I am searching for a way to open CC applications to default preferences with no user input. I understand there is a key board short cut (command/option/shift on start) but I am hunting for a way to have the preferences always revert to default. In the past I have written a script to delete the preference files upon computer start up but once again, it needs to be rewritten. Is there a method that does not require KLUDGE?

    Error with script SYS.<...>Using sysdba connections for schemas is strongly discouraged.
    Creating tables in the system tablespace that have no relation to the sys and system schemas brings its own set of admin headaches, sysdba should only be used to shutdown or startup an instance.
    Or if there is a specific SYS object that needs to have permissions granted that cannot be done via a user with the DBA role privilege (i.e. SYSTEM), that should be the only time a sysdba connection is needed.
    Also, beginning with 11g the pl/sql for setting a column with a sequence value can be done directly, no 'select ... into ... from dual;' needed.
    begin
      :new.<column> := <sequence>.nextval;
    end [<trigger name>];

  • How to do changes in Layouts setting and SAP scripts to meet requirment?

    hi SD gurus,
    Please explain me how create and work with Z output .
    where and how we do changes in Layouts setting and SAP scripts to meet the user requirments.
    pls forward func spec of Z output
    points will be rewarded
    thanx & regards

    you need ABAP skills to do this.
    basically you need:
    1) draw the layout on a piece of paper
    2) define the fields you need and find out the corresponding SAP fields
    3) check the document with the customer
    4) give this specification to the developer
    5) the developer will give you a program name and form name: place them in the message for the document.

    Yes, putting a script that submits the form in the WillPrint action is sufficient - got it working after I found the JS for Acrobat API Reference. I haven't actually used Post before and I think I misread something when doing some research that gave me the wrong idea.
