Windows right management for pdf files

Is it possible to use WRM for non Microsoft office files

The list of WRM-enlightened technologies appears to be the following (Quoted from Wikipedia). The RMS Team Blog also appears to
confirm this: -
Microsoft Office System 2003 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
Microsoft Office 2007 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, InfoPath
Microsoft Office 2010 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, InfoPath
Microsoft Office 2013 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, InfoPath
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2003 (through the use of third party solutions such as those from Secure Islands, GigaTrust and Liquid Machines (acquired by
Check Point))
Microsoft Visio 2007 and Project 2007 (through the use of third party solutions such as those from Secure Islands, GigaTrust and Liquid Machines)
Adobe Acrobat Reader (through the use of third party solutions such as those from Secure Islands, GigaTrust, FoxIt Software and Liquid Machines)
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010, Secure Islands for SharePoint enhances RMS capabilities,
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2013
Exchange Server 2007
Exchange Server 2010
Exchange Server 2013
XPS (XML Paper Specification) v1.0
Internet Explorer (through use of the RM Add-on for IE)
IIS 6.0 (through the use of GigaTrust WebServer Add-on)
As far as I can see, catering for PDF appears to need a third party add-on. I've seen Liquid Machines mentioned a few times in the past but I've never used it, so can't speak to its reliability or usefulness.

Pdf on Windows 8;How do I get adobe to be the default app for pdf files.

I installed pdf reader on my windows 8 laptop, but windows only opens with its "TWINUI". In its "other" option acrobat reader doesn't appear. It also doesn't appear on the windows desktop.

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?
I want to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Windows 7, 64 bit won't allow me to set Adobe Reader X as default for PDF file

By right clicking a pdf file I can choose Adobe Reader as opposed to MS word, but the box to set default won't accept check mark to set this for all pdf. Therefore, when I click a pdf without saving to documents first and using open with, the click notes a WAB file error regarding parameters ect. There must be a fix for this that I am not aware of.

I have no idea what check box you are talking about or how you are trying to open a PDF. This is not the Reader forum where you should be asking this question. However, to set Reader as the default, you should be able to right click on the PDF and select open with, select Reader, and then check the box to always use this application to open a PDF.

Firefox preview for pdf files doesn't show certain Cyrillic scripts.

Since pdf preview support was added in Firefox I can't find a solution for the missing Cyrillic letters in the preview of the pdfs which the software in my company generates.
Other pdf software/browsers with preview don't have issues with the Cyrillic script regardless of localization and OS as the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
Can you please help with finding some documentation to use as a reference point for finding the solution for this issue?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

PC Suite and Windows rights management

I have trouble connecting my N80 to get sync'ed properly and have been browsing this discussion. It seems like many of the issues are linked to the same: rights management for Windows users. Maybe Nokia developers are a bit unfamiliar too this? If you test the sw on a single station with no networking and policy, you will not get a result reflecing the world of the user.
At least suply an .exe package for installation enabling us to "run as" under Windows for installing for users WITHOUT local admin rights (common corporate practise).
Furtermore I wonder where the "clean-up" application went? Uninstalling PC Suite leaves a lot residue in registry.

seraphim. You have missed the point.
As a general policy, windows users should not run their machine logged on as a user with administration rights. This is good security practice and this policy will be enforced in Vista.
The Nokia PC Suite can only be installed by an administrative user, it writes to the registry for that user and that user only. If the same person (ie:me) then logs back in in normal (user) mode, the software won't work.
Normally there is a workaround. You log in as a normal user with user rights. Choose the installation executable and select (by right-clicking) 'run as ..' This allows the package to be run with administrative privileges - the username and password for an administrator is required before the action completes - but in the *context* of the normal user account, so the registry changes apply to the normal account.
Because PC Suite is distributed as an .msi file, this workaround is not available.
The proposal to use active directory to distribute software which will only be of relevance to people with a particular gadget is unrealistic. This is precisely the case where standalone installs by trusted administrators should be used.
The real problem is that PC Suite does not install properly and is confused by a change of user identity. This just needs fixing. A workaround using 'run as ..' would be useful however.
No one is proposing that the software should be installed by just anyone. 'run as ..' prevents this by requiring administrative credentials. At present even a fully qualified network administrator with full local rights *cannot* install PC Suite for a normal user.
This is not right. Being rude to prolie_no will not make it so.
You might also like to take some time to make sure that your links work.

In the product/app Adobe Acrobat reader mobile.it would be good to have layer support working for pdf files.

Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

I have an iPad 2. I need to send pdf files from Quickoffice to my school's copy center for duplication to distribute to my students. When I click on choose files at the SUNY's copy center, I am only able to access Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

Perhaps I am not clearly stating my problem. I always used my desktop or laptop to send files that were handouts to the copy center since I do not use a textbook for one English class. Both crashed within a two-day span so until I can get one fixed, I am hoping to use the iPad. I have all my files saved as PDF files in my email. I have added the Quickoffice app and transferred next week files from school email to Quickoffice. When I access SUNY's website to send my files to be copied and click on choose file, all that is there are photos. If there is not a central location in iOS, then how would I manually sync the files in Quickoffice to whatever is allowing the photo files to appear?

[GNOME], [Firefox] (still) defaults to GIMP for PDF files

I've installed Arch Linux with GNOME twice this past year, on both i686 and x86-64 systems. Both times, I've installed GNOME with it's default PDF reader, Evince, as well as GIMP for image editing (of course). Firefox, regardless of my preferences in Nautilus, only gives me the option of opening PDF files in GIMP (as opposed to saving them). If I save the file and open it from the downloads window, it opens in GIMP, but if I download it and then open it directly in Nautilus, then it opens in Evince without any problems. Of course, I could work around this and simply add /usr/bin/evince to the list of programs for PDF files, but I would have to do this for every single user that I add before Firefox is reasonably usable for downloading PDFs.
There was a thread on this a while ago, but it's closed now so I can't add to it. This is still a problem in 2011 and before I report this as a bug anywhere, we'd have to figure out the exact cause of the problem: is it GNOME, GIMP, Firefox, or something else entirely that causes this? How could I fix this so I don't have to use a messy workaround?
Oh, also, after installing GIMP, it's treated as the default application for PDF files regardless of GNOME's default preferences. Evince is listed but GIMP "hijacks" it in a sense. This is fixable in Nautilus easily, but it shouldn't have to be a necessary step.

I never knew that about GNOME. Mimeopen did fix the problem for me. Thanks very much!

I dont know if this is what your talking about but..

I mentioned that I tried this and it works fine, but I don't want to have to do that workaround on every single account I make. The workaround suggested, as I said, works well enough.
So if I understand this correctly, this is a Firefox bug?

Snipping tool for pdf files

Although I can easily use snipping tool for word documents I cannot find the way to use snipping tool for pdf files because pdf files appear in a full screen and the taskbar does not exist - as well as the snipping tool which I have already pinned
in taskbar. How do I reveal it?

Hi,
You can try to use Windows key + PrnScrn keys to capture the screen.
And the images will be saved under c:\[user]\Pictures\Screenshots automatically.

Make Acrobat the default reader for pdf-files.

Since some time (probably after I installed Mavericks) pdf-files are by default opened
in Preview. To open them in Adobe Acrobat, I can right-click the pdf-file, choose Acrobat,
and indicate that Acrobat should be the default reader for pdf-files.
This works, and after logout and login, it does still work.
But after a reboot, Preview is again the default reader.
Also, if in Finder I right-click a pdf-file, and via Get Info I configure Acrobat
to be the default reader for the specific file and all other pdf-files (by clicking
Change All), this only works for the current session. After a reboot Preview again is the
default.
How can I make Acrobat Reader the default reader for pdf-files, and make this setting
permanent?
Where is this setting saved?
Regards,
Kees.

I finally solved this, but I still don't understand how.
To begin with I have 2 hard-drives in my iMac. The OS is on the primary HD, and data are on the secondary drive. My Home directory too is on this secondary HD.
To check whether the location of the Home directory might be the problem, I copied the Home directory to the primary HD, changed the path in my profile, and did a reboot.
The next step was to configure Adobe Acrobat as the default reader for pdf-files. To my surprise, after rebooting, Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
So it looks as if this problem has something to do with the location of the Home directory.
The original Home directory was still present on the secondary HD, So the next step was to change in my profile the path to the Home directory again (pointing again to the original Home directory on the second HD), do a reboot and delete the copy of the Home directory on the primary HD.
So now the situation was back to as it was before: the Home directory on the second HD.
To my surprise now Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
And I could also change the default reader to Preview, and back to Acrobat, and this setting was saved across reboots.
I'm curious to what solved this problem, and where the setting of the default pdf-reader, or more general, the default application for file types, is stored.
So I hope that someone who reads this, can shed some light on this.

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.
