Using JavaScript to create reports listing security settings

Hi...I'm trying to create an Acrobat 8 batch process using a JavaScript that creates a log/report that lists the security settings for each PDF in a directory. I want to be able to periodically run this script so that I can ensure that (a)each file uses the departmental permissions password and (b) that the set of permissions (copying not allowed etc.) are set according to our standard.
I've looked at the JavaScript reference etc. but am seriously confused. There's a securityhandler object but how can I use that (or something else) to get a list of the doc's security permissions and to check that password x has been used?
Many thanks.

Thanks but I guess, auditpol ca be used only to manipulate system audit policies. how do I specify a folder and user in auditpol ? I could not find or understand how folder can be included with auditpol command line options.
Thanks !

Using Javascript in a report region

I have a text box that I need to populate with an amount for billing. There is also a field that shows the amount due. If the amount due is equal to the amount being paid, I want my user to click on the amount due, and it automatically populates the amount being paid. I am using the javascript:setValue('destination','origination'); command, but the problem is that I am unable to choose the text field in the javascript. I have tried using #value# aliasing, and htmldb_application.g_f0x and just f0x... nothing seems to properly alias the text box within the tabular form. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
I know a way to do this, but it is not an easy implementation and it is quite hard to explain. Carl is an Oracle guy so he may know of a better solution, but here is what I came up with on my own:
First let's be familiar with the htmldb_item syntax (found in the html db documentation):
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(
p_idx IN NUMBER, -- unique id
p_value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, -- value of item
p_size IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL, -- HTML tag attributes
p_maxlength IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL, -- max length
p_attributes IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, -- HTML elements including where you incorporate the javascript for this item
p_item_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, -- id you can specify
p_item_label IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) -- labe you can specify
I would create your report region using the following sql statement:
select order_number "Order Number",
name "Name",
amount_due "Amount Due",
lpad((ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY order_number)),4,0) "Row Num",
htmldb_item.text(7,amount_paid,null,null,null,'f07_'||lpad((ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY order_number)),4,0) "Amount Paid"
from tbl_orders
where....
order by order_number
--i had to use an order by to get the ROW_NUMBER() to work
This will create on every row an item that is specific to the row number. For example:
Row # Amount Paid text box item ID
1 f07_0001
2 f07_0002
500 f07_0500
etc.
This will allow you to reference items based on what row they are when using javascript.
Next you need to create a link out of the the amount_due column. Go to the Report Region, then the Report Attributes tab. Click on the edit link for the amount_due column. Go to the Column Link section.
Make link_text = to the value of amount_due column(#amount_due# probably)
Make the Target = URL
Make URL = javascript: setValues('#AMOUNT_DUE#','#ROW_NUM#');
This will send the value of amount due and the row number.
Here's the javascript you would put in your HTML Header on you Page Attributes:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function setValues(due, rownum){
document.getElementById('f07_'+rownum).value = due;
</script>
Give that a shot. I just created a page and got that to work.

How can I hide figures or characts. using javascript in wad report BI NW 7

Hi,
How can I hide figures or characteristics using javascript or command in wad report ( BI NW 7).
I have read the documentation for WEB API, but it doesn't provide some info on that area.
Thank you.
Edited by: Sergey Antonov on Jul 29, 2011 3:08 PM

You can use REMOVE_DRILL_DOWN in WAD to remove characteristic..to remove a keyfigure with a button you could a variable with that button, which makes an invalid selection of the keyfigure though it is 2000, e.g. set CALYEAR = 1900.
Hope it helps,
Christian

Using Javascript to create concatenated string from checkbox fields to one text field

Hi. I have a PDF form that I am trying to have output to a spreadsheet that matches my database schema. Here is the dilemna:
* I have a set of checkboxes for available languages (LANGUAGE_ENGLISH, LANGUAGE_SPANISH, etc.) When they export to spreadsheet, the value is TRUE.
* I need to take values from checked boxes and create a single string in a text field called LANGUAGE_DISPLAY (so my UI will not need to do the concatenation). If LANGUAGE_ENGLISH is TRUE (checked), append "English, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". Then, if LANGUAGE_SPANISH is TRUE (checked), append "Spanish, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". And on and on
In the LANGUAGE_DISPLAY text field properties, I am inserting a Custom Calculation script to try to achieve this, but am not getting any results. I tried teh following even trying to pull the checkboxes default values and string them together:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toSrting();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toSrting();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toSrting();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
I also played with this to get the desired strings output...but to no avail:
if ( LANGUAGE_ENGLISH.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "English, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_FARSI.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Farsi, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_HEBREW.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Hebrew, ";
event.value = box1 + box2 + box3;
Then I tried to simplify to see one field output so used this script...still no results:
event.value = "";
var f = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH");
if ( f.isBoxChecked() == true) {
event.value = "English";
Couple questions:
1) Am I on the right track with any of these scripts?
2) Is there something else I need to do to get the script to run before running the Create Spreadsheet with Data Files comman in Acrobat to get my csv file output? Maybe there needs to be some event to get the checkbox values read by that field in order to calculate/create the string.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

LiveCycle Designer has shipped with all Acrobat Professional versions since the "Professional" version was introduced with version 6.
You do not let us know want results you get in the field or the JavaScript console.
Using:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toString();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toString();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toString();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
returns "Off, Off, Off", when no box is checked and returns "Yes" for the appropriate box being checked when the default value is used for the creation of the check box. So if one would make the 'Export Value' of the box from the default value of 'Yes" to the appropriate language, one would get a more desirable result. But for each unchecked box the value would appear as "Off". So one needs to change the 'Off' value to a null string. But one is still left with the separator when there is an unchecked option.
Using the following document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And the following cleaned up custom calculation script:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value;
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value;
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value;
if (box1 == 'Off') box1 = '';
if (box2 == 'Off') box2 = '';
if (box3 == 'Off') box3 = '';
event.value = fillin(box1, box2, box3, ', ');
One will get the list of languages with the optional separator for 2 or more language selections.

XL report error - Security settings of MS Excel prohibiting XL reports to o

Hi All,
I am getting above error while trying to open the Excise report with XL reporter.
I am using SAP B1 2007 and MS excel 2007.
Can anybody help ?
Anuj Singh

Dear Anuj,
I do have few suggestions for you.
+Firstly, I would like to kindly request you to run only one version of .Net in your server, and that should be .NET 1.1.
This is a problem in .NET 2.0. The reason is that there is a "shim
database" in the registry that the runtime reads to determine if an
application that is about to load the runtime via COM interop really
needs an earlier vesion instead. XL Reporter uses .NET 1.1 to run.
Please refer to the Note 918188 for more details.
+ Also Do you define too many groups or expandings in the report? It also
may cause the problem. Please kindly make a simple report definition
to see if the problem persists.
Hope this will be helpful, and for .NET, I would strongly recommend
uninstallation of all, then set up of 1.1 then reinstallation of client
XLR - this may be cumbersome, but it will clear registry files of the
other existing versions.
Regards,

Use javascript to create a display pattern

I have a text field that is subject to parameters regarding display (color, font, posture) in the initialize, enter, and exit event for the field. With this script, using the display patterns on the object palette apparently will not work because of the code. Seems like the logical solution would be to add a pattern definition in the exit event. However, I do not know the syntax for this. I am looking to apply a US currency pattern such as num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)} to the field. I have tried things like this.font.pattern = num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}; but that does not seem to work.
Can anyone suggest the right code?

I used your suggestion as follows:
this.format.picture.value = "num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}";
in the enter event and it worked like a charm.
Thanks.

Using Javascript and ScriptUI to create a form that brings in a symbol from library

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to pull together the right info to use javascript to create a form to bring in particularsymbols from the symbol library based on the variables taken from the form. I've taken bits and pieces from various sample scripts and tried to make this work, but my problem appears when I try to use conditionals.
This is a limited version of what I want to do, but it is enough to get the point across.
1. I want to select a script that has various dropdown boxes. I would like the first dropdown to give me 3 options: 10, 13, 18
2. I would also like another drop down box that gives me three more options: single needle, double needle, and knife edge.
3. I would then like it to have an "ok" button and "Cancel" button.
4. From here when I click the ok button, a symbol is brought in from the library depending on what parameters were given to the form.
ex. If I selected 10 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL A" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
ex. If I selected 13 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL B" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
I've gotten the UI to pop up and it works as planned as well as bringing in a symbol, my problem comes when I try to incorporate conditionals and functions.
Here is my script. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Pallette = new Window ("dialog", "Create a Shell");
Pallette.add ("statictext", undefined, "Fill Opening in Inches:");
Pallette.orientation = "row";
var myDropdown = Pallette.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["10", "13", "18"]);
myDropdown.selection = 1;
var myButtonGroup = Pallette.add ("group");
myButtonGroup.orientation = "column";
var btnCreate = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection
btnCreate.onClick = function () {
    if ( MyFillSelection = "13") {
               symbolRef = myDoc.symbols["SYMBOL A"];
        symbolItemRef1 = myDoc.symbolItems.add(symbolRef);
       redraw();
var btnCancel = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
Pallette.show ();
If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated.
thanks,

MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection is outside the function, so it will always read "13", nothing is making the value change.
move that line into your function and add the text property to it...MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection.text;
then do your if comparisons, that will do it.

Create report using JasperReport

I use JasperReport to create report. The jrxml file is created by using iReport. But when I run the program, it shows error:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Error loading expression class
Is there any can help me?
Please help me, I need to do it in urgent.
Can you suggest me other tools that I can use to create report in JSF portlet? Because I try many way with JasperReport but no success.
Thank you very much.

After going through sevaral forums looking for a solution to this problem here is what I figured
- This problems is there for some time now.
- No one seems to have identified the root cause for it or fail-safe solution
- For some it went away by changing JVM for others it disappeared by changing JasperReports version
For me, here is what I noticed. I compile the reports in each environment for same Java and JasperReports version
- It appeared only on UNIX environment.
- It is intermittent. out of 12 reports I have, one or the other fail in different environments (all on UNIX). There is no consistency and its not repeatable
- For a moment, I thought the problem is resolved after I migrated JasperReports from 1.2.2 to 1.2.5. I wasn't so fortunate. There is still one report which fails to load.
I know this information is not very useful, but I just wanted to share my frustration. I also wonder why this problem has not been addressed so far.

Using XML to create files through API

Hi.
I created a new custom type - a subclass of "Document", with a few private attributes.
I wrote a small XML file that creates an instance of that type.
I have no problem using that XML with FTP or with the web interface - it parses the XML automatically and creates my custom file.
However, when I try to use the java API to do the same, it just copies the XML file into IFS, but doesn't parse it or creates the custom file that is defined in it.
I am using the IFSFileSystem.createDocument method, with parsing set to true, and "null" for the callback parameter.
Of course, the XML parser is registered (as I said, it works with FTP and web interface).
Please help.
Thanks, Edo.

Sure .. you can use XML as the data source. If you have DW8,
you can even
do it right in the Dreamweaver Interface.

Certificate Encryption using JavaScript

All:
I am encrypting documents using a certificate. This code works exect that the document restrictions are not employed.
After the code is executed, all the document restrictions (Document Properties -> Security -> Document Restriction Summary) are "Allowed". When "Change Settings" is clicked, the Certificate Secuirty Settings window appears. After clicking "Next", the Permissions group box has all the correct permissions; HOWEVER, when one clicks "Permissions..." the check box "Restrict printing and editing of the document and its security settings" is not ticked. After ticking the "Restrict printing..." check box and saving the document (notice no other settings were chaged), the permissions are removed.
How does one use JavaScript to "Restrict printing and editing of the document and its security settings"?
var curDoc = this;
var certPath = "/C/Documents and Settings/rrh/Desktop/Sample/";
var cliCertFile = "CertFile.cer";
var cliCert = security.importFromFile({cType:"Certificate", cDIPath:certPath + cliCertFile});
var cliEntity = [{defaultEncryptCert:cliCert}];
var cliPermissions =
    allowAll: false,
    allowAccessibility: false,
    allowContentExtraction: false,
    allowChanges: "none",
    allowPrinting: "lowQuality"
curDoc.encryptForRecipients(
    oGroups:
        {userEntities: cliEntity, permissions: cliPermissions}
    bMetaData:true,
Special Kudos to Patrick who helped with document certification in JS.

I GOT IT! The issue was an error of omission: curDoc.saveAs(curDoc.path);
var curDoc = this;
var cliPath = "/C/Documents and Settings/rrh/Desktop/Sample/";
var cliCertFile = "CertFile.cer";
var cliCert = security.importFromFile({cType:"Certificate", cDIPath:cliPath + cliCertFile});
var cliEntity = [{defaultEncryptCert:cliCert}];
var cliPermissions =
    allowAll: false,
    allowSecuritySettings: false,
    allowAccessibility: false,
    allowContentExtraction: false,
    allowChanges: "none",
    allowPrinting: "lowQuality"
curDoc.encryptForRecipients(
    oGroups:
        {userEntities: cliEntity, permissions: cliPermissions}
    bMetaData: true,
    bUI: false
curDoc.saveAs(curDoc.path);
Other changes are the including
1) allowSecuritySettings: false
2) bMetaData: true, bUI: false
It seems the document needed to be saved using JavaScript immediately after adding the security. When trying to save the documentby File -> Save; the "The document could not be saved. Bad Paramater." error would appear. By saving the document in code, the encryption is properly applied. After closing and re-opening the document, all permissions are "Not Allowed" except for printing.
Edit:
This code functioned in the console.

Webi Stucks while trying to create report with BW7.0 (WIS 10901)

Hello,
I have some problem about using data created from BW 7.0
1. After I try to drag more than one object to create report from webi and run the query, it got sutcked and appear error as below;
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { } ON COLUMNS , HIERARCHIZE( UNION( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { GENERATE ( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { Descendants( [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].CURRENTMEMBER, [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[LEVEL01]) } ) } ) ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM [$0ABC_C06] SAP VARIABLES [0DAT] INCLUDING 20080606 failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
this error appears when I try to..
- create query with more than one object
- enable drill-down for the object and click the report to drill down
(This error appears the same in Voyager when drag objects into crosstab)
2. problems with displaying Thai language content created from BW, after I created object, thai content always appears as "######" event I change font to "tahoma", it returns the same result.
any expert could help me... thanks in advance
I use BOBJ XI 3.0, SAPBW 7.0
step:
1. Create universe connect to BW 7.0 and export universe
2. logon to infoview, choose universe to create report from webi
3. drag object and test drill down
and step for voyager
1. create voyager connection to SAP BW 7.0 use specified username and password
2. use voyager to create report
3. drag object into crosstab

Hello.
We have solved this issue. We tested our connection with MDX Parser in transaction SM59 and that resulted in errors. Then we applied SAP note 1032461 to replace an application server dll (librfc32u.dll). After this procedure, the WebIntelligence was able to run queries with more then 2 dimensions and key-figures!
Thanks for all.

Ade,
Carl Backstrom has a great sample site with examples of what I believe you are trying to accomplish:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:5:661046971170606::NO:RP::
From either the menu or the index, select Javascript and then "Show/Hide/Toggle Form Items".
Hope you don't mind the plug Carl.

Is it possible to use JavaScript to search a directory of PDF files?

A company I am interning for is looking for a solution. They want to allow users to search within their PDF user manuals by typing a string into a search field and returning the PDF document link or page link. Is this possible? How would I accomplish this? I have only been programming for 1 year.
Can adobe reader use javascript to create a link that we attach the directory to? If not how or what would you do?
Thank you.

Ideally, I would like a link to Adobe Reader or Acrobat that only allows users to "Search Our Manuals for Help". The user types in "Commission Invoice Inquiry" and in return gets links etc. to the PDF's in our directory of files containing that inquiry or "string".
User scenario: User gets new software from company but needs to look in manual on how to get "commision invoice inquiry". So user goes onto my company's website and finds this said application I am looking for and types in "commission invoice inquiry" and hits enter. The application then searches through the company's directory of PDF files (manuals) for "commission invoice inquiry" and returns any page links within the PDF that have that "commission invoice inquiry" on them. It can open inside of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or whichever. The company is even willing to pay for said "plugin" or application.
