• How can I encrypt documents extended drive?

  Hello

  I use the Java API of the livecycle TO encrypt a dynamic, reader extended PDF. I get the error message:

  ALC-ENC-100-015 may not encrypt reader extended document.

  My case is the following:

  A document is sent to some users. It is encrypted with a certificate. Users enter data in the document, encryption again and send it via e-mail. The document is never sent without being encrypted. A server receiving the e-mail, extracts the document and reads the data entered by the user.

  How can I implement this use case when I can't encrypt the extended drive of the documents?

  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  Kind regards

  Arne

  The order of operations is always encrypt (first), drive to extend (second), (and if you also certify document) certifies (third-party) (when you certify a document, an "author" digital signature is applied to the document).

  There is no way around that, the document must be encrypted first, then applied RE.

• Display card driver issue (Digital Signature of the unverified driver)

  In Device Manager, I have a question, marked by an icon of yellow exclamation next to "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics" under the heading "graphics cards".  When I right click and go to properties I see the message: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device.

• How to get around the problem of printing from the printer driver Adobe PDF for Notepad instead of a PDF Document?

  How to get around the problem of printing from the printer driver Adobe PDF for Notepad instead of a PDF Document? I tried the tool 'Repair Acrobat Installation' and other problems listed on the forums, but nothing worked. In the Notepad document is the following ' % [ProductName: distill] % X937B6DD4 not found, using the mail service.» X07BB154E not found, by using the messaging service. % [Page: 1] %% % [Page: 2] % % [Page: 3] % % [Page: 4] % % [Page: 5] % X4EEBB81F not found, by using the messaging service. %% [Error: invalidfont;] OffendingCommand: show; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets ss %% [Flushing: rest of work (end of file) will be ignored] %% %% [warning: PostScript error.] No PDF file produced. ] %%."

  The log file indicates that the Distiller cannot find fonts and besides, fonts with very weird names. (These names can often appear when printing from an application, WPF such as Internet Explorer 9, 10 or 11.)

  My best guess is that the problem is with the options set for the PostScript of PDF from Adobe printer driver instance. Exit the application you were initially impression since. Open the Adobe PDF printer Properties . Then click the Advanced tab. Then click on the button default printing . This should produce a significant window default print Adobe PDF is already opened in the Adobe PDF settings tab. On this tab, there is a checkbox to rely on system only fonts; do not use fonts in the document. If this box is checked, uncheck it and press apply , then OK. Then go to the general tab and press the button Preferences giving the window entitled Adobe PDF printing preferences. Again once, look for the box to rely on system only fonts; do not use document fonts. If this box is checked, uncheck it and press apply , then OK. Then back in the Adobe PDF Properties dialog box main, press apply (if it is enabled), and then click OK. Re-enter the app you were original print and try to print again. Let us know if that fixes the problem.

  PS: Unfortunately, rely on fonts system only turned on by default, causing problems for many applications. I always recommend turning it off (i.e., unchecking it)!

• Flattening of PDF forms after the form has been saved with extended drive features

  I have a form that must be able to be used in the drive. I recorded it with 'extend the functionality of Adobe Reader' for my colleagues can use it. However, when I received a completed form, I can't flatten it. I tried two different methods to script and it did not work. I think its because its saved to the drive that I tried to flatten the shape before I saved to the drive and it totally works. When you save for the reader, the PDF Optimizer is inactive, so I can't use this method either. Is there a way to get around this?

  Have you tried simply to print to a new PDF file (using the Adobe PDF printer)?

• Recipient cannot sign pdf (extended drive) form

  I create a form using Acrobat Pro Extended to XI with several signatures, all recipients can sign the document except one person, the signature field is disabled, only echosign is available.

  When I check the properties of the document on the recipients computer using Acrobat Reader XI properties security settings are set on "signature not allowed".,.

  I sent the same document to myself and opened using player XI, but the security setting of the properties on my copy documents are on ' signature admitted " "

  I tried other pdf documents requiring a signature on this system of recipients, and there is no problem, the signatures are allowed and the document is saved.

  I don't know what the cause of the problem, could it be due to the Acrobat Reader XI parameters?

  What should the player settings to ensure that signatures are allowed with any reader extended documents?

  Thank you in advanced for your help...

  

  Hi, Rave,

  Acrobat Pro Extended to XI, that's what I used to create the form. But I had the recipients to update their versions of adobe reader to the latest version 11.0.09 and that seems to fix the problem.

• Question form and expiration extended drive

  Hello

  I have a question about drive extended forms and expiration.

  The following scenario will exist?

  Reader expansion license expiration Date: April 1, 2012

  The drive model extended: December 31, 2011 with the above license

  The user opens the form on June 1, 2012. Is the form player always extended at this stage?

  
  Notice that we don't not player - extend (as an activity in our process) every time the form is rendered. Instead, we drive - extend the model and place it as an asset in our ABI.

  Thank you

  Bernard

  It is a response from both sides, first to answer your question, and then to raise an issue of General License.

  To answer your direct question, the rights of extension drive will end when credentials expire (in your example, April 1, 2012). After this time, the user will receive a message that depends on the version of the player.

  • If it is the Reader 8 or before, they will receive a message whose form has changed and that rights are no longer available.
  • For reader 9 and above all, messages have been improved, so that it will tell you that your form has passed the expiration date and that the user needs to obtain a new form of the creator. It will then differentiate between production licences and assessment to tell you which side of things the original RE license fell on.  And then, he'll be saying that you can always view and print the file (it is still a complete in PDF format), but you will not be able to record or perform other duties compatible rightes.

  But the biggest problem is that you seem to not have license appropriate in place.  Production licences have long-term (good until 2021 or 2023) licenses. The fact that your license expires in 2012 says that you were using the evaluation or development of licenses and qualifications, which all tend to have time-outs from three months to two years. You can see the details of your license on the server of the user interface (a 'get info' do) or via Acrobat (Niall explained the technique in another thread - see October 24). And if you are one of them, get the ID number (the identification information will be identifies as P23 or another P with two figures) and I can decode for you.

  The question is independent of the question of if you drive - expand once or you drive to extend a process for each form.

• Laptop is not access grub after standby extended drive

  Hi all

  I suspect a hardware problem, but I'm not 100% sure on this subject. The issue has already appeared a few days ago, but I managed to solve it by pressing F8 at the beginning upward. Now F8 does not work and I think that F8 was not at all involved, and it's only lucky shot.

  It seems the startup just stops before, or so, access to grub2. I am able to stop and restart, but there is no startup options. The mini laptop is a toshiba satellite t110-107 and normally start options appear at the bottom, F2 to access bios and F12 as a shortcut for selecting the boot device (if I remember correctly). But sometimes, they do not appear at all, I think that's when I put hibernate instead of shut down the system, but to be honest, I never paid attention to this behavior. She normally worked. Note that I use hibernate-drive and extended ram usually sleep for years, and it has always worked properly.

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice you want to give me. I will try to access the system with a shell external grub or with a different distribution of linux to re - install grub. I hope I don't have to thow away the laptop :-(

  See you soon

• Portege 3940ct OS upgrade to function disabling Lan of XPSP2-Driver issues

  I have canvassed all discussions on this forum (and others) and have not found a solution to my problem. But, its obvious that major thinkers on Toshiba laptop configuration problems are here. So, if there is a solution to my problem, my best shot is in this forum.

  I'm pretty advanced in troubleshooting on this issue and the only thing that makes me think that there is a solution, it is it seems that others have installed XP on this unit.

  I have a ct of 3940; I upgraded from W2kPro to XPSP2;
  I downloaded and installed the bios, drivers and toshiba utils for unity on the Toshiba site.

  I have confirmed that all components of the system are operational. This includes a cdrom pcmcia, a network port replicator

  Everything is beautiful... EXCEPT:

  I have no network function.

  Indeed, I have basically no internet communication that it works either - even through the modem. The modem composed and as soon as the provider of the Internet service provider sends a handshake of communications, Windows XP Home edition do not recognize and disconnects. (I have not tried to fax a document - but I don't think that is relevant to the problem).

  Indeed, any type of network connection device, I try to install on the device, the device driver is not installed. This includes the network cards pcmcia (Wi - Fi 10/100 and base a - g) and usb based of a to g wireless adapters.

  Initially, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition, I found that I could not get a connection to the local network through network port replicator.

  To power on, loads WXP b/f, the network port replicator connection LEDs indicate a connection. Once expenses WXP, the port is disabled. [All other functions on the Port Replicator is operational under WXP].

  After logging in to Windows XP Home edition, Windows XP Home edition detects "new hardware" and produced through the driver install process. He then began to try to install an "unknown device". Ithen reports thatit can not locate a driver, then prompt for the user at the end of the routine of material to add.

  Device Manager reports several devices with yellow warning flags indicating that the device driver could not be installed.
  A look at the Details tab on the "unknown device" (the tab 'network device') indicates that the driver who has a problem is 'rasirda.sys '. Device Manager will not allow the device to uninstall.

  Other devices that have the yellow flag are:
  1 Toshiba FIR Port Type-D0
  2 IrDA Protocol (hidden feature)
  3 TCPIP (hidden feature)
  and a network card, I try to install.

  Facilities of device driver for network adapters, including the network port replicator controller (Intel 8255 x based pci Ethernet adapt (10/100) and his sister pilot), does not install (and will not uninstall until the device is removed).

  A glance at the window of the administrator system "Services" shows that essentially all the services necessary to support network/internetrleated services are disabled. Dependencies show that all these services depend, directly or indirectly, on "services.exe". This service will not run, and when the service is to begin, WXP reports that the service.exe does not start the program described.

  Topic 'Information System', a glance at the 'network' tab indicates that there is an adapter called "RAS Async card" disabled.

  My first approach to this problem was to reinstall the update of the Toshiba driver for the controller Toshiba FIR. Nothing helps.

  The next thought was simply to disable the function of TREE, but that cannot be done at the level of the bios... and well, as ambitious as I am, I didn't venture into the machine to determine if the IR controller could be disconnected or removed from the system board. [But if it is a possible solution, then I'll go...]

  As noted above, the only reason for which I hope is it seems that others have run successfully of XP on the 3xxx series porteges, who, to my knowledge all have this same IR port. Also, Toshiba has even written an XP driver for the device.

  What I find curious, among other things, is that Device Manager reports the Rasirda.sys device on the network adapter tab. I would have thought it would have been reported under the 'no plug and play' or the tabs 'system device. Whatever it is, it seems that Toshiba has implemented the infrared device such as a network adapter, or at least that's how WXP is grateful.

  I searched the internet, on the site of Toshiba, microsoft XP, knowledge databases, Web pages etc. and did not meet all the remarkable solutions se... Although I enjoyed some of the protocols troubleshooting - not my real ambition.

  Bottom line, is that I have this computer connected to the internet. With all protocols, and internet communications services disabled, even through the modem... Well, its ridiculous. I can't yet register WXP! Absurd is that! Well well its been late.

  I hope someone will have a solution/workaround solution that will solve this problem.

  In the meantime, I think that the next step is to start over and reinstall XP and try... again.

  I'd appreciate any help that anyone can gather.

  Hello Andrew

  It's always interesting that a lot of users are trying to install WXP on older models. Respect! The problem is that 3xxx Portege is not supported for Windows XP Home edition and I wonder that you have found the drivers and tools for this device. On Toshiba Europe don't here are some drivers for Windows XP Home edition and I assume you found the download of some of them on Toshiba U.S. page.
  Am I wrong?

  Sorry but I have no concrete solution to your problem

• G4-11125dx: USB Driver issues HP Pavilion g4-1125dx Notebook PC model #: LW342UA

  Hello.  I have a:

  HP Pavilion g4-1125dx Notebook PC

  Model #: LW342UA

  When it has been upgraded to windows 10 I lost all USB functionality.  The Device Manager uses a driver, but it does not work properly.  "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and "Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller" have the yellow exclaimation points with the USB symbol next to them.  Under properties, it reads:

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  {Unable to load device driver}
  HS device driver could not be loaded.
  Error status is 0 x %x

  When I try to roll back the driver nothing is available.  When I try to update, it says I already have the best driver.  I tried the windows update and Easy Driver software but no luck there.

  I confirmed that I do infact has power to make ports (USB fan :/) so I don't think that it is a hardware problem, especially since it worked before upgrade.)

  I know that its a laptop older, but I upgraded the CPU to a quad core Phenom II N970 and this 'thing' is running if good, I do not give up on it.  Ethernet and wireless are working properly and there is no other troubled hardware issue.

  Thanks in advance,

  I tried to go back to windows 7, but I've been spending the period from 30.  The laptop is not the recovery disks, or a partition to do.  For the heck of it I advanced and reinstalled windows 10.  Now the USB ports work correctly so I guess it was something that happened during the initial upgrade?  Anyway thanks for your help!

• Y510p Trackpad driver issues on Windows 7

  I recently bought a Lenovo Y510p. Soon after receiving it, I wiped Windows 8 and installed Windows 7. I downloaded all the Windows 7 required drivers on the Lenovo support site and install without any problems. The problem I have is that most of the time the driver for the trackpad momentum seems to have issues. Device Manager acknowledges the mouse as a generic PS/2 mouse and the options of the momentum, under control panel > mouse is not CSA listed at all.

  I found a temporary solution to the problem. Uninstalling the drivers through the Device Manager, reboot, then install drivers the momentum of the Lenovo site, then reboot, I was able to get the mouse appears in the momentum Control Panel, where I could finally set my parameters. However, after my next reboot, the mouse was absent from the Panel momentum once more, and now I'm at square. I tried the solution that had previously worked, but I got no results.

  Anyone has any ideas or similar problems that they resolved?

• No audio; possible driver issue. "There is no available mixer devices."

  "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  Another driver can provide this functionality. (Code 32) »

  They are activated, the only problem seems to be one or more drivers. But the update does not resolve the problem and troubleshooting of Windows doesn't help.

  I worked with someone in the Bleeping Computer to remove malicious software, and we have identified a few days that my machine was clean. The tech who was helping me said the audio problem is a separate issue from malware, but I suspect that the malware could have damaged something or change my settings. I thought it might have been accidentally caused by my use of AutoRuns (a few hours before I noticed the sound problem and in the middle of the 9-day process to remove malware) to disable malicious programs which were auto-loading, but I can't find anything that looks related to the sound that is not set to automatic loading at startup.

  I noticed in AutoRuns, that the aeaudio.sys driver is set to auto-charge but it says "File not found" in the Path column. I checked the system32 folder and it wasn't there at the beginning, but then I found the file in two other folders and copied in system32, yet AutoRuns still says it is not found. I tried to reboot to see if that would refresh but he says always not found. Also, I can't see how a problem with a driver (aeaudio.sys) that filters background noise (during the recording of the sounds, right?) can knock out all my audio.

  I have studied this problem for days and that you can find no answer to the problem. Help, please.

  Data sheet:
  Windows XP SP3
  Dell Dimension 4600
  Card isn't his SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

  msecox,

  Bad news: the problem is hardware, not software. I tried to install a new sound card, but it turned out that the part of my motherboard that sound control has been fried. Also, you may want to replace the sound card before condemning the audio controller. If this fails, your best bet is to replace all of your PCs, because a new motherboard will cost almost $200 (in addition to work if you can not install it yourself).

  Good luck!

• upgrade to driver issues made worse?

  Hello

  There is a small difference between 3.5 and 3.6, and your card is probably work
  at the edge of this difference. You probably won't see any difference at all.

  You can go back to an older driver from Nvidia Site - check with their support.

  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.
