Typewriter useless for reader?

I understand now that using reader (I have v9), if a pdf has no fillable fields then it is obviously a non-fillable form.  What, then, is the point of the typewriter tool?  From some things I've read, I thought this tool would allow me to actually type in the blanks.  I know there are downloads (like form filler) or online applications (like PDFescape) that allow for this, but they either take to long to format (resizing/moving text boxes) or the insertion points are too random for it too be worth the time.
I've attached the document in question; if anyone could check out the form allowances and offer any useful advice I would greatly appreciate it.

If it were enabled, you would see a message at the top of the PDF telling you and a button to the right of that message that allows you to choose the typewriter tool. In Security, Changing the document, document assembly, filling of form fields, signing and creation of template pages all would be not allowed.
I have enabled this file for you so you can see the difference.

  • New ipad mini retina cannot select "never" for time out period. It makes the product useless for such things as navigation and frustrating for reading

    Must add the never option to the time out period or the product is useless for navigation and other purposes where continual use is required.

    This should be an option in the General settings on your iPad. The option is called Auto-Lock. There should be the following options: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and Never.
    If you select Never, that should stop the screen from going to sleep automatically. If the Never option is not present, you more than likely have a Exchange account synced with the device that does not allow that option. If that account is disabled, that option should show.

  • Both of the 4G mobile hotspots are useless for business use

    I just returned the Samsung SCH LC11 as it can't be used with VPN. I saw that the Novatel 4510L was released and spoke to level 2 tech, it's not VPN compatible either.  Great to have a 4G network that useless for business.  The tech team has no clue as to when this will be resolved.

    Since the early release the Iphone now gives you the ability to shut off your email and you would have control over your web surfing via edge/safari by just not surfing. In other countries (like Germany for example) I understand WI-Fi is more available. Here in the US ATT has public Wi-Fi spots where you can buy a day , week or month of time for between $7 and $30 which allows you to control you data and email costs. Now while these conditions may not be ideal, if this is truly for business then such costs would be the cost of doing business even in the UK but I guess since you have the VAT across the pond it is a god reason not to want to pay more up front. The Wi-Fi solution isn't perfect because you now have to actively get your own email rather than having the phone get it for you but and you can't use the surfing and Google features at will but such is the price of controlling cost. We have had early usage problems here in the states where families going on cruises forgot to turn off their Iphones and got socked with $4300 phone bills, but updates to the software allow you to control the email features. Hope this helps with your decision. I think you'll find the Iphone not so much useless for business travelers as you might suspect.

  • HT4759 Hello .. I've been subscribed for ic;oud for 20$ per year and I found it useless for many reasons: that I can not disconnect my mobile while the uploading process and it takes long time for uploading my data .. Its not a reliable system that's why

    Hello .. I've been subscribed for ic;oud for 20$ per year and I found it useless for many reasons: that I can not disconnect my mobile while the uploading process and it takes long time for uploading my data .. Its not a reliable system that's why I need to deactivate the space service and take my money back .. Thanks

    The "issues" you've raised are nothing to do with the iCloud service.
    No service that uploads data allows you to disconnect the device you are uploading from while uploading data. Doing so would prevent the upload from completing. It is a basic requirement for any uploading service that you remain connected to it for uploading to be possible.
    The time it takes to upload data to iCloud is entirely dependent on how fast your Internet connection is, and how much data you are uploading. Both of these things are completely out of Apple's control. Whichever upload service you use will be affected by the speed of your Internet connection.

  • BAPI for reading capacity of a workplace/work center?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a BAPI/RFC using SAP MII to read the capacity of a workplace/work center in a given time period (eg. one or more days/weeks/...). I would like to use the import parameters plant ( WERKS ), date from, date to, workplace/work center (eg. CRHD-ARBPL ) and capacity category (eg. KAKO-KAPAR ). As output I would like to get a list of (planed/used) capacities as the working time for the given time period at the specified workplace/work center.
    In theory the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST nearly does what I want. The only drawback is, that it outputs the "wrong" time.
    Let me give an example: The work center uses at a given day a capacity from 6 to 22 clock, including one hour break. This gives us a working time of 15 hours for this workplace and day. And "15h" is the time I need. But as there are working 5 worker at this work center the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST returns 75 hours (which is 5 * 15). But the result "75" is useless for me as long as I don't additonal get the number of workers.
    I've searched in our SAP system and in this forum, but wasn't able to find another BAPI that gives me the correct time. As an alternative I would need another BAPI to get me the number of workers for a workplace/work center at a given time. But I also was out of luck finding one.
    Looking out for help,
    Simon

    Thanks for your fast reply!
    I have looked to both functions before. Beside that they are both not remote enabled (which is not such a big problem as I could copy them or build a custom BAPI around them) I'm not quite sure how they could solve my problem.
    If I got it right, I would first use CR_CAPACITIES_OF_WORKCENTER to get the KAPID and using it as input for CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. But I have problems to understand the output of CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. The data type of the capacity is a float ( FLTP ) and the number seems to be to big, eg. 9.800000000000000E+01= 98h for one day.
    Could you try to explain your solution once again?
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
    Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

    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.

  • What is your solution for getting public transportation in map? Actually my iphone is useless for me because it hasn't a public transportation map.

    what is your solution for getting public transportation in map? Actually my iphone is useless for me because it hasn't a public transportation map.

    This has been a huge problem for me too. I was actually late to work yesterday and wanted to throw my phone out the window of the bus that I finally was able to find. I'm new to Portland, so this suddenly missing feature is particularly problematic. It really is so hard to avoid getting angry, I just can't believe they would eliminate a feature that people rely on so heavily. But anger doesn't do any good so I'm trying my hardest to stay calm and figure out an acceptable solution while Apple works to restore this feature - at least I pray to God that that's what they aim to do. Here are the apps that I've been trying, I'll try to explain how they work and maybe they will work for you. This is going to be a long post, but I'm hoping some people will find it helpful.
    I'll start with the most obvious of all - adding Google Maps to your homescreen. Every time you launch the app you will get a diaologue prompting you to allow Google Mpas to use your location, and then you will be in an environment that looks similiar to what we are used to. It does not integrate with your contact list, so one workaround I've been using is going to my contacts and holding my finger on an address to copy it to the clipboard. Be aware that leaving this web app will lose whatever you're looking at and go back to the start, so best to do this before you launch it. You'll notice some strange behavior - for instance the drop down menu of suggested locations will apear and then quickly disaprear, so just ignore this. Often it will often unexpectadly scroll to the top for some reason when you're trying to do something towards the bottom. Haven't figured out a fix except for trying to not get flustered and doing things slowly and deliberately. It's not as quick as we're used to anyway so this is not hard to do. If you'd like to see any of the suggested routes on a map you can do this by clicking the small 'Map View' link. Just be aware that you can only do this once or you will have to type in your starting an ending points again, as there is no way to go back to the list you were just looking at once you are in map view. One thing that I have found helpful about the Google maps method is when looking at a route, whether in list or map view, you can see the stop ID right there, which is helpful if your city has a way to check real-time arrivals. For instance here in Portland you can text this stop ID to a certain number and immediately receive real-time arrivals.
    The app I've been using most is called 'Transit'. It's pretty beautiful aesthetically, and the UI is simpler than anything else I've come across, which is convenient for a task that you want to accomplish as quickly as possible so you can put away your phone and be on your way. When you first launch it you're presented with three bus routes that stop near your current location. It tells you which direction the route is headed and in how many minutes the next bus is scheduled to arrive. This is helpful if you are familiar with that particular busline, otherwise there's no indication of where the line will take you. Upon clicking a line, you're presented with three buttons (again, loving the simplicity). One reverses the direction of that same busline. One expands the list of times so you can quicly see all the arrival times for that bus route at that particular stop for the entire day. The other takes you to map view and quickly displays the location of this stop. And here's the best feature of all (!!), it shows you the busline as a blue line and every single stop is marked with a circle. You can click on a circle and it displays the expected arrival time at that stop. This is all very helpful in some circumstances, but of course it does not let you type in a destination and have it build a route for you, and if you'll be transferring to another line this will not help you at all. To accomplish this you press the arrow in the lower left where you can type in a starting point, ending point, and an arrival/departure time. And this DOES reference your contact list. It will then allow you to quickly switch between three routes that it selects. It also searches Maps (actually it says 'Powered by Foursquare' for landmarks/establishments. For instance if I type in 'sushi', I'm presented with a handful of sushi joints in my area. There is a bug in this app where sometimes the 'Route' button is missing and you can only resolve this by leaving the app and quitting the process in the multitasking trail. When it builds your route, you can click on any point of transfer and it will tell you what time that bus/train is leaving. There is no list view, but personally I never found list view very helpful anyway. I know some people will disagree though.
    Now I'll talk about HopStop. This is a kind of clunky interface unfortunately, and also has ads which I can't stand. It is able to reference your contact list. My least favorite thing about this app is the list it gives you is so excessively long-winded it's hilarious. Every single stop along the route is listed in this list view, so you'll be scrolling through literally dozens of pages of useless information like 'Pass such-and-such - 1 min. Pass such-and-such - 1 min. Pass such and such - 2 min.' Oh well. The good news is on this insanely long list, it indicates when you are supposed to do something other than sit patiently in your seat by having an icon to the left of that instruction - either a person walking or a bus number. When you switch to list view unfortunately it no longer displays departure times, so you'll have to be switching betwen maps and list view. One great feature of this app is it lets you save routes to your favorite list. It also lets you find bus stops and quickly see what bus lines hit those stops. I can't stand the flashing advertisements, so I avoid using this at all costs.
    On to 'City Maps'. Again, the first thing you will see is a short list of bus lines that hit the stop nearest to you. Tap on one and it shows you the next three departures in either direction, as well as the distance between your current location and the stop in question. This app also searches for restaurants and such, but takes this feature on step further. Here when I type in 'sushi' and select a restaurant, I'm brought to a page that links to the Yelp, Foursquare, and Facebook pages associated with it - even has a link that takes you directly to the menu if Foursquare has it. Awesome feature, right?? Tap on 'Map' and it immediately displays the location and an option to build a few routes. It always displays the walking route below the bus lines to give you a sense of how long it would take (even if it's a two hour walk). Clicking on a bus route on this list takes you to list view. Unfortunately this also displays a deluge of pointess turns that only the bus driver need worry about, but it's not as bad as HopStop. There's an optional feature where it can display Google Street View images right in this list view, if you think that could be helpful. With one tap it quickly switches to a very aesthetically pleasig map view. There's an update button that lets you immediately refresh directions, edit starting/ending points, or give it new directions altogether.
    I'm sure in just a moment someone will come along and say something insulting about how we're blowing things out of proportion. I guess that's just the nature of trolls - a lot of people find being angry on forums while hiding behind their screen names cathartic for obvious reasons. Let's all of us just do our best to ignore these people and keep this discussion diplomatic and oriented towards helpful solutions. I know none of us want to give up our beloved iPhones, I'm only considering it as a last resort.

  • Enter event not triggering for read-only checkbox

    I have some objects in a form that get "locked" when the user signs the form.  I'm not using the digital signatures.  Instead, when the user types their name into the signature text field, a script runs on the change event that makes all of the fields in the form read only.  It also unlocks the fields if the signature is deleted.
    I was worried that we would get a lot of phone calls with users that didn't understand that the form had locked ("Why doesn't this form work?!"), so I added some code to the enter event for all of the fields that would pop up a messagebox to explain to people trying to edit a signed form that the form was locked and that they would need to delete the signature to edit the form.
    This plan works perfect for my text fields and decimal fields.  It does NOT work at all for my checkboxes.  For some reason, the enter event is never triggered for read-only checkboxes.  I don't see any other events that would obviously work for me though.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks, those are reasonable suggestions.
    In the first suggestion, I'm unclear about one aspect of how I would accomplish this.  I assume I would allow people to modify fields in the form, but that when they did, a msgbox would pop up that would inform them that, if they continued with this modification to a signed form, the signature would be removed.  I'm all good to that point.  But if they answered that they do not want to continue modifying that field and removing the signature, how can I code it to set the value back to what it was before the change?  Is there some method that will give me access to the value of the field BEFORE the attempted modification?  I went looking for something like $.previousvalue, but found nothing.
    I'd suggest that I could use a two-stage solution, in which I store the previous value on the enter event, and save it just in case they do not want to change the field when prompted by the msgbox, but since the enter event does not exist for checkboxes (my original problem), that seems like it won't work.
    As far as radio button suggestion, I like radio buttons very much except for one fatal flaw: they aren't (as far as I can tell) clearable.  That is a shame.  Clearly some people (like me) want both exclusivity AND clearability.  And we'd like the controls to have an enter event.  But I know I'm demanding   Anyway, as it is, I just end up having to use checkboxes and create a boatload of silly code to make them exclusive.

  • Can't get OPP service started after OATM due to can't open file for reading

    This is my second run on the OATM upgrade. OPP (and thus XML reports) came up fine after the 2nd run. After this run, had some issues with enqueing and solved them in an S/R with Oracle, but now I can't start OPP. I have tried all sorts of things, like aborting it in OATM, restarting, shutting down instance, running cmclean twice, resubmitting request, etc. Here is the error I get:
    As System Administrator in forms, go to:
    Concurrent -> Manager -> Administer
    -> pick Output Post Processor (from the many manager in the list)
    -> by the way it says "Activating" under status, seems stuck there.
    -> then hit the Processes button
    -> it will show a long list of "Terminated" and default to the first
    one at the top.
    -> Hit the "Manager Log" button
    -> you now get
    "APP-FND-01632: Cannot open file
    /sechi/applcsf/log/SECHI_orav880d/FNDOPP1380237.txt for reading
    Cause: [Routine] encountered an error when attempting to open file
    sechi/applcsf/log/SECHI_orav880d/FNDOPP1380237.txt for reading
    Action: Verify that the filename is correct, the environment variables
    controlling that filename are correct, and the file exists.
    Action: Verify that protections on that file permit reading by this
    program
    - but what is wierd is that the permissions on this dir are 777. I can see old OPP logs in that directory from before OATM. I can manually create a file with the name it complains about , then the app opens up the blank file with nothing in it. It seems that file is not getting created, not that it can't be opened.
    If I need to change the log level of OPP please also tell me how to do that if it would provide some clues.
    THanks Marvin

    One more thing I am going to try first....
    I am going to change the service ID of the OPP manager. It keeps trying
    to restart the dead process maybe that it is..

  • Javascript won't work - JavaScript for Reader Mobile API Reference (Android)

    I have created a Form with the new Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (trial version).
    The Javascript code just won't work on a mobile phone.
    Doc - JavaScript for Reader Mobile API Reference (Android this shows that what I want to do is supported.
    But not even the simplest command will work on my phone. (I am using Adobe Acrobat DC - PDF reader for Android)
    Any suggestions of what I could be doing wrong?
    Best,
    Menno

    A Doc.getField() should work.. Try small steps: Create a document with two fields (e.g. Text1 and Text2), then create a custom calculation script for Text2 that uses the following code:
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").value;
    Does this copy the data you enter in Text1 to Text2?
    Then, add a third field ("Text3") and a button with the following MouseUp JavaScript action:
    this.getField("Text3").value = this.getField("Text1").value;
    Does this work? It actually works for me. To save you some work, here is a link to the test file I've used: http://khkonsulting.com/files/AUC/AndroidTest.pdf

  • Can I do this with a plugin for Reader?

    Hello, I'm totally new to Adobe Reader development and I'm in the need to develop a plugin for Reader that must implement certain functionality. Before starting, I think it's better to ask to the experts if what I want to do is possible or if what I need goes beyond what the Adobe API provides. So, if you're so kind, I'd like you to check the list of needed features and please tell me if they can be fulfilled with a Reader Plugin.
    The plugin must work for Adobe Reader 7,8,9 and 10. It's not a problem if I need to develop a plugin for each version.
    When the user tries to print a document, I will block/cancel the printing process depending on which document is tried to be printed (the full path to the document will be needed).
    I need traceability in "Save as" and "Save as text" features, if the user saves a copy of "c:\file.pdf" into "c:\file - copy.pdf" I need to know both the source and the destiny of the save as operation. Same for any kind of "export to format x" operations if possible.
    I need to be able to communicate with another module via named pipe to periodically send information. This might require dinamically loading a DLL and calling its methods.
    [Optional] I need to restrict the use of the clipboard depending on the documents opened in Reader, i.e. don't allow to copy if a certain document is opened.
    [Optional] If a document is exported via file printer (like Microsoft xps printer), I need traceability on this operation. I'm really pesimistic about this one.
    Also, I'm assuming that retrieving the list of opened documents, or the "active" document will be possible at any time. Please, correct me if wrong.
    Thank you very much for your time, for reading and helping. Im' not asking you to tell me how to implement every single feature, I just need to know if I will be able to implement them when I get some knowledge.
    Have a great day. Greets.

    Two things.
    First – Adobe no longer supports Reader 7 or 8, so you would be on your own for those.
    Second, in order to develop a plugin for Reader you need to obtain a license from Adobe.  Details and forms are in the Acrobat SDK.   Start this process ASAP as that will tell you whether you will be able to do your plugin or not.

  • How can I get Messages to show the correct time for read receipts?

    Messages in Mountain Lion shows the wrong time for read receipts. For example, my iPad will show a message was read at 3:37 pm but if I open Messages on my MacBook, the read receipt shows the time that I opened the Messages app as opposed to the time the message was actually read. This is not too much of an issue if my iPad is handy, but really, shouldn't Messages on my MacBook be able to show the correct time the message was read? It syncs all the other infromation with Messages on iOs.
    I should mention that if Messages is running on my MacBook when the recipient reads the message, then it does show the correct time the message was read. It's if Messages was not running and I re-launch it that the read receipt time gets mixed up.

    HI,
    As far as I am aware Messages marks or time stamps an iMessage at the time of receipt rather then the time you got around to reading it.
    I will admit that in most cases reading and receiving as the app opens will be near enough the same time in some conversations.
    Adding Time Stamps to Chat is what iChat has always done particularly with AIM based Chats.
    The "Sync" in Messages is "display on all devices"  and after that each iMessages is dealth with separately on each device.
    There is no syncing of deleting/dimssing an iMessages or having read it on another device.
