Urgent: read pdfs from network path?

Hi friends,
I have a probem:
When I try to read a pdf (which is in a local network path) my applicattion does it ok only if I've logged on windows as administrator user in my PC, but it doesn't work if I try to log with another user... Any idea?
Can I solve this question modifying my forms application? (How??) or it's only a windows permissions problem?
Thanks
Jose

I can think of two ways to set the permissions. One is with HOST and then a command-line tool to set the permissions. I think there was something like that in the NT/Windows Resource Kits. The other one would be to use ORA_FFI and call a DLL that can set the permissions for you.
But in either ways, you're doing these modifications using the currently logged on user. If the problem is that this user doesn't have access to the file, he/she cannot set the security settings either. You would have to set the access permissions on creation of the file.
But you not just set the default permission of the directory in such a way that any newly created file gets the correct permissions?
One last resort would be to schedule a script through the "at" command at scheduled intervals under a 'superuser" that will set the correct permissions.

"Access Denied" opening PDF from network UNC path.

Can't open pdf file from network path when opening from Adobe Reader any versions. Opening other files such as word, excel etc that is not opening in Adobe Reader works just fine.
Steps to reproduce bug:
Create a shared folder with three folder deep. \\Servername\SharedDrive\FolderLevel1\FolderLevel2\FolderLevel3\
Give user explicit access to "FolderLevel3" with read and execute rights
Enabled "Protected Mode at StartUp" on Adobe Reader X or XI
Make sure there are some PDF files in FolderLevel3
On the user windows session "do not map the share drive", open explorer to "\\Servername\SharedDrive\FolderLevel1\FolderLevel2\FolderLevel3\" directly.
Double click the PDF files in the folder and it will be blocked with an error Access Denied.
Turn off Protected Mode at StartUp and it load fine
Map the location to a Drive Letter and it load fine
Use Adobe Professional and it works fine
Use Nuance PDF reader and it works fine
Not the ideal solution but if we gave users access to read at "SharedDrive" folder, FolderLevel1 and FolderLevel2 then they are able to read the PDF file. We would rather NOT DO THIS. They are blocked from the lower level for a reason......
Results:
Expected results: If it works on PRO it should work on Reader...

Hi Ayenoy,
Please provide the following information:
1) Adobe Reader version on your machine.
2) OS you are using.
3) Is your machine or the shared drive a part of any special file system like DFS etc.
4) Is the user a normal admin/standard user or a special user with roaming profile and folder redirections?
Thanks,

Open 2nd PDF from UNC-path fails

Hallo,
I use Adobe Reader 11.0.08 on Windows7 SP1 (Enterprise) and I try to open PDF-files from UNC-path. The first attempt is successful. If Adobe Reader is still opened, the attempt to open a 2nd PDF-file from (same or other) UNC-path in Windows Explorer does not work without any error message. The file does not open.
The following attempts were successful or not:
(drive P:\ = \\domain\dfs$)
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
If Adobe Reader is still opened, but no file is opened:
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
As you can see: If Adobe Reader is still opened, I can't open a PDF-file from UNC-path from Explorer. But that's what we need. Our Frontend-application opens an Explorer window and the user has to choose the PDF-files to open via double-click. It would be a very roundabout way to copy the Location from Explorer to open the file in Adobe Reader. We'd like to open the first and all other files for the same session from Explorer via double-click.
Sure, if I disable protected mode every attempt works fine but unfortunatelly it is no permitted option to disable protected mode (security policy) - it has to be enabled.
Each change in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" was not successful. For information its current config that works as mentioned above:
; Files Section
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = \??\UNC\domain\dfs$\*
(no entries in other sections)
How can I open every PDF-file for a session from UNC-path via double-click from Explorer if Adobe Reader is still opened ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Lisa,
Can you please update your Reader to latest version "Adobe Reader 11.0.9" and verify that the issue still occurs.
Thanks,

Dynamic Image From Network Path

I am trying to setup dynamic student photos onto a report, we are lucky enough to know the photo filenames as they are the same as our student_id's so I setup in a formula:
Spot\Image_Bank\QLSPhotographs\Images\" + {Photo_List_By_Course;1.student_id} + ".jpg"
as the image path I also tried:
"I:\QLSPhotographs\Images\" + {Photo_List_By_Course;1.student_id} + ".jpg"
as I have it mapped as a local drive both these options worked fine on my local machine running the website up in Visual Studio 2008 rather than IIS. Upon taking the website to our web server I tried the report using the "
Spot\Image_Bank..." option (as it wouldn't have the mapped I drive). This did not however work.
Do I need to adjust the formula?
What user/security would it run under the folder has read permission for Network Service, All Staff (our group for staff), System, Domain Admins and various others. The website seems to run under Network Service as I had to apply write access to a folder before in the website.

Is your web application able to retrieve the files from that location, independent of whatever you're doing with Crystal Reports? If not, the Crystal engine won't be able to, either. Make sure that the application is impersonating your domain users properly, assuming those are the credentials you're using to access that shared drive.

Hello,
Yes, you can use XmlDocument, XmlNodeList, XmlElement, XmlNode etc to read infopath file via code. Just add "using System.Xml" as reference in your solution.

Unable to read pdfs from the web on my mac

i've read all the advice about re-installing Adobe Flash (and deleting past versions) and have followed the advice (and restarted my computer) but to no avail. When I try to open a pdf from a website I only get a black screen. Any advice?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Error 1603 Installing Creative Cloud from Network Path

I used the same method as I am going to describe below to install CS6 but I cannot do this with Creative Cloud.
After I built a install Package for Adobe Creative cloud I copied it up to a network share that I use for several other remote installations including Adobe CS6. I use Dell KACE to distribute my software and due to the large size of Creative Cloud and Creative Suite before it I do not want to copy the large install files directly to the appliance.
The problem I am having is when I try to install from this network location just as I have with CS6 I get the following error:
Installation operation failed
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat. Product Version: 1.2.0000. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems Incorporated. Installation success or error status: 1603.
Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat is what I named the package.
My install commands look like this:
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre
start /wait msiexec.exe /i "\\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Build\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat.msi" /qn /L*v c:\Adobe.log
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=post
I added the Logging after it kept failing to see what was going on and I can paste the entire log file if need be but if I copy the folder with the package contents locally and run the same commands from the same elevated command prompt it installs fine. Error 1603 usually points to some access rights issue but for the life of me I cannot determine what the issue is. I have given full control to "Everyone", "SYSTEM" and all users to the network share and it is only the MSI that fails it seems.

I have just run into this problem. I have made two packages earlier in the year (one of Creative Cloud Design and Web and one with Creative Cloud Master Collection both being for x64) and they both worked flawlessly when deploying via Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). However I just went to make a new package of Master Collection (only including the applications we actually use) and it is now completely broken (I deleted my Creative Cloud Design and Web package from MDT but still have my old Master Collection package and it still works).
My older packages were created on Windows Server 2008 SP2 Enterprise 32bit and I have tried creating new packages on Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard Edition 32bit and both give the same failure. I thought it might have been something about building on a x64 OS this time compared to last time but as I still get the same error when I tried to build from the Windows Server 2003 so that does not appear to be the case so I am guessing something has broken in the Creative Cloud Packager.
Has anyone tried going back to an older version of the Creative Cloud Packager? The current version is 1.6.0 Build 48 so if I can find a download link I will try and give version 1.5.0 a shot. Either way this needs to be fixed ASAP as it did work and I need a working deployment for the new Windows 8.1.1 Enterprise x64 image I am in the process of making.

Mac users prompted for password when reading PDFs from Internet

We produce PDFs with a randomly generated password to "protect" them from being editted.
Periodically, we get complaints from Mac users who, upon clicking the PDF link, are prompted to enter the password. My guess at this point is that they have Acrobat (not Reader) installed and it's wanting to open the PDF in an editable mode by default.
Does this sound correct?
What instructions should we give them to work around this issue? Is there a settings change for this (least desireable) or a Ctrl-Click sequence to get it in "read-only" mode?
We're not Mac folks -- don't have one in-house -- so we haven't had an environment to experiment in.
BTW: The issue is with our clients' customers so we need something fairly non-technical for directions.
Thanks, Scott

Reading Files From Network Share

I am attempting to read files on a shared volume of a Windows 2003 machine from a Forte client (win2k - 5.0.26). If doing this is possible, how does one reference a remote file?
Thanks,
-skynet-

Fortever,
Thanks for the quick response. Your code segment is what I thought it would be. However, when I try that, I get:
SYSTEM ERROR: System Error: No such file or directory, opening
'\\devServer\testDir\test.txt' with mode 'rb'
Class: qqos_FileResourceException
Error #: [101, 184]
Detected at: qqos_File::Open at 4
I'm using forte version 5.0.26. Is it possible that this is something that is corrected in a later version?
Thanks,

Reading ampersand from directory path

I've searched these forums and google to no avail on this problem.
I'm trying to read in directory paths through a JSP and here is my code to do this:
String dirName;
dirName = request.getParameter("dirName");
if ( dirName == null ) dirName = "";
System.out.println("dirName = " + dirName);
The problem I'm having is if a (Windows) directory name contains an ampersand (i.e. AT&T) - the output is: 'dirName = AT' and so the string cuts off at the ampersand. Is there any way to recognize this character?

Thanks for the quick response.
I sub'd in the following now:
dirName = request.getParameter(URLEncoder.encode("dirName"));
However, the ampersand still is not being encoded as %26 (even though spaces in directory names are encoded as %20). What my JSP does is make directory names links which allow a user to click through them to view the contents. Here's the code I'm using to do this which is within a loop and the i gets incremented (this all works - except for the case where the directory name has an &):
<a href="search.jsp?dirName=<%= path[ i %">"><%= path[ i ] %></a><br>
Any ideas? TIA
</a>
