Wrong PDF on Security Alerts Page

On the Security Alerts page (http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/alerts.htm) there is a link next to "Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Oracle9iAS Reports Server Alert #35, 05 June 2002" which links to a document called http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/reports6i_alert.pdf
This document is actually a copy of the document for a different vulnerability "Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Oracle Net (Oracle9i Database Server) Alert #34, 05 June 2002"
Please fix it so we can read about the 9iAS Reports Server Alert!
Thanks,

Hi Otto,
This should now be fixed on OTN but please let us know if you encounter any difficulties.

Reader X - Getting Security Alert with a data filled PDF form

My site uses PDF forms that have their data filled in dynamically by the classic asp code on the site. Before Reader X version, they were filled and displayed without a problem. With Reader X they display the security warning: "Data from this site is blocked to avoid potential security risks....." and the Options button to trust the site. I get this even thoguh it's the same site they are on already and I'm using an SSL cert for all files and I'm also using a direct link to generate the PDF.
I know the user can just click the options and make the problem go away but many users seem unable to read and or panic when they see the alert.
Is there a security setting or trust setting I can add or set in my form so that I will not get this security alert??

No, apart from creating a certified document, but the user would still have to add you as a trusted source. If a document could override this, it would be rather pointless to have it in the first place.

Wrong PDF page size in Excel

When I use PDFMaker to "print" the print area of one particular spreadsheet, the Adobe PDF page size is 11.18 x 14.47 inches.
When I use Adobe PDF printer, the Adope PDF page size is 8.5 x 11.0.
Excel Page size = Letter (8.5 x 11.0)
Excel Page orientation = Portrait
Excel Page Parameter = Fit print area to 1 page x 1 page
Selected Printer = Adobe PDF
Selected Paper size in Adobe PDF dialog boxes = Letter
Selected Paper size in PDFMaker Preferences = Letter
When I change the Excel Page Size to Tabloid (11 x 17):
Adobe PDF printer creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Adobe PDF Maker creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Can anyone shed light on the problem experienced by PDFMaker on the Letter sized request?
I am running:
Windows XP, SP3
MS Excel 2007
Acrobat 9.1.2
PDFMOfficeAddin.dll version 9.1.0.0
PDFMExcel.dll version 9.1.0.0

Hello everyone!
It's been long since this topic was active but I just wanted to share my solution to a similar problem.
I was trying to use the built-in Save as PDF function of Excel 2007 and my sheet which also had some headers and footers was not coming out correctly.
From Page Layout tab, I clicked the small icon on the corner of the Page Setup. Then I clicked the Header/Footer tab and removed the tick next to where it says "Scale with document" and viola! I miraculously could export my sheet in the correct page size.
May this be helpful to not just who have had this problem before, but also the ones that will come afterwards!
Cheers!

How can I get a total page count of a PDF before placing every page in the PDF?

Before the [long] spiel, I'm using javascript in InDesign CS3.
I'd like to create a script that places a multiPage PDF in any number of different impositions. (saddle stitch, 4up signatures, 16up signatures etc.)
I've easily created a script that iterates through a PDF and places it into a new document as (4,1|2,3), (8,5|6,7) etc, which works for printing in duplex, folding each page in half, and gluing the resulting spines to make a simple thick book (for PDFs with more than, say, 64 pages).
However, the next step is to re-write the script to create a saddle stitch document (16,1|2,15), (14,3|4,13) ... (10,7|8,9). For this I need to know how many pages there are in the PDF before I start placing the PDF pages, and then making the new document [int((PDFpages+3)/4)] pages long.
Is there a simple way to get the count of PDFpages without going through a loop and placing the next page from the PDF until the placed page number equals the first page number?
This way seems wasteful:
var totPDFPages = 1;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
var pdfFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
while (doneCounting == false) {
totPDFPages += 1;app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
if (myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == pdfFirstPage) {
totPDFPages -=1;
doneCounting = true;
alert("PDF has " + totPDFPages + " pages!");exit();
myPDFPage.remove();
NB. Javascript above *hasn't* been run, but should look similar once debugged.
The only thing I've though of to relieve the sheer duplication of placing the PDF twice (once for the count, and once for the imposition), is to create an array of impoPages[counter]=myPDFPage, and then shuffle the pages referenced by the array to the correct sheet and position.
It'd be much easier to be able to assign pageCount = File(srcPDF).pageCount !!!
Thanks for any help/tips or even a simple "What are you smoking, man!?"
Cheers,
Jezz

this will get almost all pdf pages count.

WLC cert to avoid the security warning page

Hi guys,
I am doing some tests with installiing a 3rd party cert on a WLC to avoid the security warning page when trying to access the WLC through https, and I am following the following configuration example:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00806e367a.shtml
I have followed the same precedures given in the above document, and I am using windows CA to sign the CSR just for a test, I could install the final .pem cert successfully onto the WLC however I am still getting the same warning page when I was trying to login to the WLC through https. I have checked in my certificate store and I have trusted the root CA which is the windows CA in this case.
I have also tried to access the WLC from the CA server (windows 2008 box) still getting the same warning message.
so what should I do in order to make this to work with windows CA? did I missed something in the configuration?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Andy

ok guys.... I was wrong last time... actually after double check again it was NOT working .... I think i just simply trusted the cert last time when i was using firefox....
I have tried a number of different things and double checked the places that mentioned previously in this thread however I could not pick up anything wrong in particular, although I know there must be something I have missed out.....
so this time I have also read through some other references on the web, and found the following:
http://www.my80211.com/home/2011/1/16/wlcgenerate-third-party-web-authentication-certificate-for-a.html
I think I did very similar config and only difference is that I am using unchained cert.
I have double checked the following:
on virtual interface configuration, I have ip address 1.1.1.1 and DNS host name as "wlc2112.mydomain.local"
from the controller GUI --> Security --> web auth --> certificate, under subject name, I have CN=wlc2112.mydomain.local, however under Issuer name, I have CN=mydomain, this is a bit different from the last screen shot in the above link. could this be a problem?
in windows 2003 server, with DNS server I have a field called "wlc2112" with IP address 1.1.1.1
as mentioned by Scott previously, I went to the mmc certificate snap in, and under trusted root certificate authorities, I have installed the WLC cert there and I could see it there as well.
now if I try to access the WLC GUI from here I am still getting the error message same as the one below:
http://www.vistaclues.com/the-security-certificate-presented-by-this-website-was-issues-for-a-different-website%E2%80%99s-address/
I then followed the instruction and continue to the website, and when I go file --> properties --> certificate, it actually shows the certificate is issued to 169.254.1.1 and issued by 169.254.1.1, with a red cross on the cert itself....... I have no idea where is this come from, so I just want to ask when I try to access the WLC GUI through a web browser, after I type in https://wlc-ip-address, how does the browser know / search for which certificate it needs to look into? I think in my case here it clearly points to the wrong certificate?
also on the server I went to http://127.0.0.1/certsrv and selected "download a CA certificate, certificate chain or CRL" and then "install this CA certificate chain", does this mean I acknowledge to trust the root CA by doing this?
I am not sure what I have missed out but it just does not work for some reason... is there any other places that I need to check/verify?
Sorry for the long writing but any comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Changing Lion PDF default security settings

After I create a document in Word or Pages, I save them as a pdf. I then want to digitally sign them in Adobe Reader. But the default security settting when saving as a pdf does not allow adding a digital signature. Anyway to change the default OSX settings so that digital signatures are allowed by default?
Preview just ignores digital signatures so I have not found any work arounds there.
...Bruce...

I'm OK with how to remove the security settings from a document: Documents > Properties (security tab; "No Security").
What I'm looking for is the path to removing the security settings such that they are NOT applied when I convert a document to PDF. What is happening now is that when I convert a MS Word doc to PDF, the security settings are applied by default, which means I have to go the process, albeit a short one, of removing the security settings from the document - as referenced above.
So again, if I simply launch Acorbat Pro 9 (without opening of a document), what is the correct path to removing (permenently) the security settings so that they are no longer applied to a converted document by default?
Thanks in advance.

How do you open a PDF to a specific page number in Safari 8.0?

I'm using the command #page=33 to try to force Safari to open a PDF to a specific page number. While this works fine on just about every website browser, it doesn't seem to work in Safari. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

The problem is most likely with the Safari PDF plugin, which doesn't process the open parameters correctly. To be fair, though, this is not a part of the PDF ISO specification but something that Adobe implemented on their own in their PDF plugins, so other applications are not obliged to follow it.
If you switch to using the Adobe plugin then it should work, even in Safari.

Exchange 2010/Outlook 2010 Security Alert (...there is a problem with the site's security certificate.)

I've been looking to resolve this issue for a while now and was hoping someone could help me understand my options.
We have Exchange 2010 & Outlook 2010 in our environment. I've created a SSL cert for our ActiveSync from a reputable CA and unfortunately, as you may not be surprised, we are seeing an alert each time we open Outlook that states:
"Security Alert; Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate.
The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site."
Of course my internal server name does not match my external server name. So the SSL I had created for use with OWA and ActiveSync is rejected by my internal Outlook clients.
After doing some research I believe this is related to the Autodiscover service being configured with my internal server name and not my external name.
I've found some info about adding New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory and Set-ClientAccessServer commands and then found this article that might help. (Configure
Outlook Anywhere to Use Multiple SSL Certificates) but nothing is specific to my configuration and I'm concerned about what will happen to my existing configuration if this fails.
What happens when you run Set-ClientAccessServer? Does it retain and keep the old server config in place and add a new one or does it wipe it out? Will all of my devices need to be reconfigured?
Same with New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory. Does this simply add another virtual directory or is it going to overwrite my existing config?
Then there is the question of whether or not any of this will actually address my issue at all.

Sorry.
"[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity MailExt -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri "https://MailExt
.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml"
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'MailExt' couldn't be found on 'DomainController2.contoso.local'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-ClientAccessServer], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 4D980455,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.SetClientAccessServer"...is the error I get.
I've created the split zones and populated the Forward Lookup Zones as follows:
CONTOSO.COM
MailExt(CNAME)MailInt.contoso.local
_tcp _autodiscover(SRV)MailExt.contoso.com
CONTOSO.LOCAL
MailInt(A)192.168.1.10
MailExt(CNAME)MailInt.contoso.com
One thing I did notice is that there isn't a _tcp _autodiscover entry for MailInt in my Forward Lookup Zones. It was recommended that I make that entry for _tcp _autodiscover(SRV)MailExt.contoso.com in another post I read somewhere.
I believe what I am trying to do is create a new autodiscover object as is shown here:
I see there is a Get-ClientAccessServer & Set-ClientAccessServer command but I need to add a CAS. Does the Set-ClientAccessServer add or simply modify?
Or would that require the New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory command? I read
this page that discussed creating new virtual directories but that seemed a little risky without knowing all the ins and outs of how this service functions and to what degree this would affect the existing configuration.
I was able to use the Set-ClientAccessServer command and change the actual internal autodiscoverUri to https://MailExt.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml but the name still says MailInt and I continue to get the SSL cert warnings because it is looking
at MailInt.contoso.local.

Safari is frozen by a fake security alert, how do I resolve?

Safari is frozen by a fake security alert. How do I resolve on my MacBook Air using IOS 8.1.2
Error Message:
"Safari - Alert
Your Browser has been Locked because of Possible Infections found in your Machine. Due to which your Browser Might be Corrupted because of Suspicious Activity found.
Major Security Issue
For Immediate Assistance through our Apple Certified Technicians CALL:

Thank you!

The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123.
Occasionally, a browser window may pop up with a scam message. Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus, and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. Most of these scammers, if you actually call the number, will ask you to install software giving them remote control over your computer. Do not do this either. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Though you will probably have to quit Safari, you can first try closing the tab by pressing Command + W. Sometimes, however, these pop-ups will not go away by attempting to close the tab, nor by clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
None of this Worked!
If pressing Command + W does not work, and force quitting Safari and restarting the application with the Shift key held down does not get rid of the pop-up you will have to reset Safari. Normally, this can be done by launching Safari, then in the menu bar, going to Safari > Reset Safari. However, most pop-ups of this variety will block access to many of the drop-down menus in the menu bar. You will need to locate a file on the computer and move it to the trash. Make sure you quit Safari first (force quit if necessary).
To start, open Finder. The press Command + Shift + G, or in the menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder. Type the following file path:
~/Library/Preferences
Look for a file named com.apple.Safari.plist, and drag it to the trash. Then restart your Mac. After it reboots, try launching Safari. A new preferences file should have been automatically created, so no more action is required on your part, and the pop-up should now be gone.
The Source of the Scam
In addition to the FBI scam, there are a few webpages with bogus technical support pop-ups or "security alerts," claiming you have a virus as described earlier. These webpages include but are not limited to:

helpmetek.com
applesecurityalert.com

Disable IE 10 & 11 Security Alert popup w/ Group Policy

We get a Security Alert popup when accessing a https site
"You are abut to view pages over a secure connection....."
With previous version of IE, user can simply check box for "In the future, do not show this warning" and it will not pop up again, however, w/ the new IE 10 and IE 11, it keeps coming back. What is the group policy rule to disable this pop
up?
Thanks in advance.
Roget Luo

Hi Roget,
It seems that we can enable the following setting to block the warning message:
Computer Configuration/User Configuration > Adminstrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer >Turn off the Security
Settings Check feature
Besides, apart from group policy, if we just want to individually block the message, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Bad PDF; could not read page structure. Bad PDF; error in processing fonts: unsupported Type2 font

I created a "form" in MS Word using a table with blanks for where the fill-in fields are supposed to go. I converted the file to PDF, and then I tried to use the PDF Forms maker with the automatic field detection feature (Acrobat 8 Pro) but I keep getting the error "Bad PDF; could not read page structure. <Bad PDF; error in processing fonts: unsupported Type2 font> [1]" What could be causing this? Is there something I need to do in Word to make the field recognition work? The field recognition has worked with other PDFs that I have not created in Word. I'd rather not have to create each individual field myself, if I don't need to. I thought this was a great feature when I have used it on other PDFs, but I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong on forms I am creating myself in Word.<br /><br />I am using a MacBook with Leopard, all updates installed, Office:MAC 2008 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.<br /><br />Thank you in advance!

I got where you were going with this, so I printed with the Adobe 8.0 printer and then I was able to use the auto field detection. THANKS!!

Firefox 2.0.0.8 = security alert when calling a Java applet method

I have a JavaHelp applet that I launch using a method that I called
from JavaScript when a user clicks on a link.
A problem I found with Firefox 2.0.0.8 and JRE 1.4 is that when I
click on the link it will try to display a security alert window, but
the window appears to freeze up when it is being displayed and hangs
the browser. For example, I cannot see any of the buttons that should
be on the security window. Rather the main window is empty. However,
if my applet exposes a button that the user can directly click, the
security window displays properly and can be dismissed.
With the same JavaHelp applet, the link works fine if I use it Firefox
2.0 and JRE 1.6 or JRE 1.5, and with IE 6.0 and IE 7.0. I uninstalled
and reinstalled Firefox with JRE 1.4, and I couldn't reproduce the
problem. However, I'm concerned that this problem may resurface in
the future.
Has anyone ever seem a similar problem? And if so, are there any easy
workarounds?

>
I have a JavaHelp applet.. >I suggest you launch it using Java Web Start (JWS).
Here is a test of a direct launch of the HelpButton JavaHelp applet.
<http://www.physci.org/jh/test.html#launch>
It would only take minor changes to the code to make the button entirely redundant, and have the code automatically launch the HelpViewer, once the user clicks the link to the JNLP launch file.
That 'JavaHelp/JWS' page is my test page for launching JavaHelp in a variety of forms.

Remove "flash player security" alert

Is it possible to avoid
“flash player security” alert dialog box.
My project is built in flash 6 but it won’t run under
flash player 8.
It gives security alert dialog box, and client asks me to
remove this dialog box.
Is it possible to remove it or not?
Or is there any documentation available on net stating that
it’s not possible to remove it?:confused

The answer is inside the same article you quote, page 3:
"Local-trusted: This sandbox has no restrictions. It offers the
same open privileges as all local files were given in Flash Player
7. Any local file may be placed in this sandbox if given
authorization by the end user. This authorization may come in two
forms: interactively via the Settings Manager or noninteractively
via an exectuable installer that creates Flash Player configuration
files on the user's computer."
So you might have the user do something which is a lot more
work than clicking ok in a security alert (I haven't even done it
myself on my machine).
Or you might provide an executable that needs to be
downloaded with at least two more security alerts.
The situation of course changes if you can deliver that
executable in a different form, e.g. via a CD-ROM

PDF failure in 98 page document, page 14 seems to be the problem

Please take a look at the above print screen. It's seems to be that there is something wrong with one of the pages, which makes PDF export fail. I've narrowed it down to page 14. The rest of the pages do export to PDF. When I try to remove object from this page, Indesign crashes. I also created 2 new pages and pasted all the objects into these new pages, then removed the old ones, and there it was again, this blank space on the left. There are no objects on the left of this page, although you might think there are, looking at the print screen.
Does anyone have a solution? I am really running out of options...

I think I found it, thanks to the 'layer' answer from Peter.
On page 14 and 15, I went through the list of layers and found 2 objects (at the bottom, of course) that should not be there. Turning visibility off and on didn't change anything so I still didn't know where the objects were. Because I could only select objects on these 2 pages with the Direct selection tool or Text tool, I couldn't find it before. In the layers I found these objects, selected them, but still didn't see them. When zooming out and in, zooming in took me to page 1. Which is strange, because when you have selected an object on a page, zooming in usually takes you to the center of the selected object.
In the picture below you can see that the object size was set to infinity mm. I deleted the objects and the result is GOOD!
Thank you for all of your suggestions.
