Spawning a template works in Acrobat, not in Reader

Hi - I have created a form that has a template. Originally I wanted to have a new page spawned when the enter key was pressed in one of the text fields at the bottom of the page. But I wasn't having any luck getting that to work, so I ended up adding a button that spawns a page. It works in Adobe Acrobat, however when I open the form in Adobe Reader, the button does not add a new page when it is clicked.
Before I tried out the form in Reader, I saved a copy of the PDF file from Acrobat using the File / Save As Other / Reader Extended PDF / Enable More Tools.
I am using Acrobat XI and Reader XI. My operating system is Windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated!

It will work in Reader 11 if you don't Reader-enable the document with Acrobat, or if you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the spawn template usage right.

App.openDoc works in Acrobat, not in Reader

In a folder-level script I'm using app.openDoc to open an existing PDF and extract an icon from it. The following code works in Acrobat 11 but in Reader X I get a NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method error.
this.disclosed = true;
myIcon = app.trustedFunction(function (oArgs) {
     app.beginPriv();
     var pluginPath = app.getPath({ cCategory: "app", cFolder: "javascript" });
     var myDoc = app.openDoc({ cPath: pluginPath + "/MyImages.pdf", bHidden: true });     // <----- error happens on this line
     var oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(myDoc.getIcon("myIcon"));
     app.endPriv();
     return oIcon;
The MyImages.pdf exists in the same Javascripts folder as the javascript file. I created MyImages.pdf manually via the console and set disclosed=true before saving it.
I've also tried modifying the call to app.openDoc to set oDoc:this (as recommended in other discussions) but that only caused the same NotAllowedError in both Acrobat and Reader.
Any ideas?

It gets called from the top level of the javascript file. Here's an example -- the exact contents of my javascript file -- where I simply load the icon and display the width in a pop up alert. If I open a PDF from the file system then this generates the same NotAllowedError during the call to app.openDoc(). But, if I launch Reader and wait before opening the PDF, the code runs fine and the correct icon width gets alerted to me.
var myIcon = app.trustedFunction(function () {
      app.beginPriv();
     var pluginPath = app.getPath({ cCategory: "app", cFolder: "javascript" });
     var myDoc = app.openDoc({ cPath: pluginPath + "/MyImages.pdf", bHidden: true });     // <----- error happens on this line
     var oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(myDoc.getIcon("myIcon"));
      myDoc.closeDoc(true);
      app.endPriv();
     return oIcon;
app.alert(myIcon.width);

Work item can not be read when opening the task on the portal side

Hi Experts,
when we open a UWL workitem on the PROD portal, the message Workitem xxxxxxx can not be read. If we try it in the back-end, then it works fine. How to solve this? I checked and compare the .xml files on the PROD portal with the WAS portal and everything is the same.
thanks in advance,
J. de Voijs

Dear Robert,
Please check whether the user to whom you are sending the workitem has proper authorisation. Forward the workitem to another user from backend & try opening it from his UWL. If it opens there perfectly then its an authorisation issue.

Drop zone of loop in the film stip template, works in simultor, not burning

Droping a loop from the film into the drop some in a chapter menu and it shows up on the simulator. when I go to burn or build etc there is just white where the loop should be. everything else is workinng fine just but no loop- any ideas out there?
thnx

OK bigger problem- the all NTSC DVD that used the same template [film strip] also had no problem in the simulator, but I just build/formated it, and the drop zones in the menu buttons whent all white again- same as yesterday. I also checked and they were all software based in the menu prefs. something is wrong here, there is like a "flash frame" of the first frame of the loop, frozen for a split second. and then when the motion starts it all goes to white in zone. I am really flumixed here, did I change something in the targets or is it still burn realted? but why does it work in the simulator, like a charm and then it does not burn????? FRUSTRATED

Create report template works in XE not in 11g

Working systems
Windows vista
Oracle XE
Apex 3.1.0.00.32
System that fails
Unix of some sort
Oracle 11g
Apex 3.1.0.00.32
PDF printing enabled and working
Error: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_030100"."WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS"."FLOW_ID")
Created and xsl file using Stylus Studio on my laptop where XE resides.( Good tool btw)
Navigated to: Home>Application Builder>Application >Shared Components>Report Layouts>Create Report Layout
Layout NameL test1
Report Layout File: TestRpt.xsl
Clicked on Create and the report layout showed up in the list
I emailed the file to my work account. Followed the same steps and got the above error.
I thought maybe it was a Unix v. Dos file structure so I edited the xsl file in SQL Developer (another good tool for Apex) and saved as TestRptA.xsl. Same error occured.
I can put any file into the XE form and it uploads. I assume the 11g system does not get the file passed in the parameters...
Any ideas on this would be greatly appriated.

Conform in unit of work broken when not enabling Read Subclasses On Query

Any business application must use conform in unit of work to have expected ACID properties or modifications done during a unit of work are not visible when executing queries.
So our application is always using conform in unit of work. We are using TopLink 10.1.3.3.
We have couple of mapped inheritances. One of them is setup so that when you query on the base class the subclasses are never returned. This is done in TopLink Workbench in inheritance tab by not checking checkbox "Read Subclasses On Query".
The SQL generated is right. But the code handling conform in unit of work doesn't respect the flag.
The code in UnitOfWork.java line 4185 is calling:
getIdentityMapAccessor().getAllFromIdentityMap(expression, class1, databaserow, inmemoryqueryindirectionpolicy);
This end-up to call IdentityMapManager.java line 648:
public IdentityMap getIdentityMap(Descriptor descriptor)
/* 648*/ if(descriptor.hasInheritance())
/* 649*/ descriptor = descriptor.getInheritancePolicy().getRootParentDescriptor();
No places in the code are trying to respect deactivation of "Read Subclasses On Query".
So the query return also subclasses that were in the unit of work!
Anybody else is using conform in unit of work?

This is a bug, the subclasses should be getting filtered when conforming.
Please contact Oracle technical support with this issue.
As a workaround you could filter the subclass in your application after executing the query (or possibly use a query redirector), or disable conforming.

Forms built in Acrobat not working in Preview!?

I've built a form in Acrobat Professional (with text fields and radio buttons) that we want to fill out with Preview. The idea is to open the pdf with Preview, fill it out and in the Print dialogue, to "mail as pdf". Then if you close the original pdf without saving changes. it remains a template you can re-use anytime you wish.
This would all work fine except some of the text fields seem to radomly decide not to work when the pdf is opened with Preview. I've tried going back in Acrobat to delete the field and re-create another - that didn't work - same issue. I tried deleting the field, then copy and paste a field that does work in its place. Not only does that not work, it renders BOTH fields unusable!
Any ideas?

If the field works in Acrobat Reader but not Preview, then it's probably Preview's problem. Preview supports a subset of PDF features and an older version than the Adobe apps. From other similar questions seen in the forums, the best solution is to distribute a current, free Adobe Reader to everyone who needs to fill out the form.
Either that or get Apple to keep Preview reasonably full-featured and up-to-date, because today it is neither, and Adobe Reader 8 is nearly as fast or faster than Preview.

This is a guess, but I suspect that ords_services.add_parameter() is not required at all.
Also, your URL /demo_product_info/10/ should not have the trailing slash (according to your template URI).
For more information, I suggest you look here:
ords.3.0.0.343.07.58.zip\ords.war\scripts\migrate\core\ords_migrate.plb
The migration package will show what is usually done for templates that already exist within APEX 4.2. I checked my templates and the ones with URI variables {in-curly-brackets} contain no records in apex_040200.wwv_flow_rt$parameters.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

SDK not work in Acrobat X

I was using AcroAVDoc::FindText to find particular text and in Acrobat 9. The SDK work fine and will be scrolled and highlight the text. However, the same code not work in Acrobat X. Anywork have any idea how to make it work. Thanks.
The code as below:
Dim pdAVDoc as AcroAVDoc
pdAVDoc.FindText("End Of Statement")

So you're also implying that my code is fine and should work as far as you know?

I figured it out...needed to use comment tool set, not the editing tool set.

Sendmail does not work in Acrobat 9.5.1.

Acrobat 9.5.1
OS 10.6.8
The Sendmail feature does not work - when I try to attach mail, I get a warning:
"The SendMail doesn't know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use."
1. Surely this should work?
2. How do I select a different mail application?

This does not work in Acrobat XI either for Office 64bit (Office 2013 64 bit)
Does anybody know the fix for this?
I called tech support today but they dont seem to know anything about the error although its a known issue with all previous versions of Acrobat for serveral years now.
I really need to make this work, there is a random google post where I have ot make some regedits, but why can't Adobe fix this known issue since it is nothing new?
My basic understanding at this point is that even Acrobat XI is a 32 bit app and the programmers at Adobe still dont know how to write the API to talk to a 64bit mail client?
I really need some help on this if anybody has a real solution.
Thanks!

Link works in Acrobat Std 8.0, Acrobat Reader 8.2, but not in Reader 9.0

Hi. I also posted this in the Acrobat site:. Perhaps this might be a more appropriate location?
Hello.
I faced a really strange thing today. I created a report PDF through Xcelsius. In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN. The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0. I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
Details:
Software used: Xcelsius 2008 SP1
                       Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
                       Acrobat Reader 9.0
                       Acrobat Reader 8.2 (later)
Link address:   file://G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you!
--- Update ---
I later uninstalled Reader 9.0 and reinstalled Reader 8.2 and the link worked in Reader 8.2. The link is a direct address and not a script. The file is opened in IE 7 as a spreadsheet with Macros attached. It is important for me that it works in both versions of Reader as there are several versions of Acrobat Reader deployed among our hospital -- Reader 7, 8, and 9.
Can someone help shed some light on this, please?

I think this is related to this other problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/567165?tstart=-1 . This has appeared with current releases of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Adobe seems unresponsive. We started seeing it this week in conjunction with Excelsius 4.5. I have both Acrobat Pro 9.3 and Acrobat Reader 8 on my PC. Pro blows up when I open the .pdf created by Excelsius, but Reader does fine.

Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

Hi,
Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

SignatureValidate() method not working in acrobat reader 5

Hi All,
Will the method signatureValidate() work in acrobat reader 5. the same pdf validation which is working in acrobat reader versions >= 7 and not working in version 5. Kindly let me know if there are any alternative methods available to detect the digital signature field changes in lower versions. Urgent help required on this.
thanks in advance.
