PDF, JavaScript forms / FormCalc and security

Hello!

A customer wants to use PDF forms (around 2000 Forms) in their company, most of them using JavaScript or FormCalc scripts, but today their employees (in thousands) are not allowed to turn on JavaScript in their computers.  Obviously, this will have to be changed.

They say that their security people fear it could make inroads in security...

Please, is there a way, that this can be solved by using Digital Signatures LC?  Or any other solution?

Thank you very much for all the ideas!

Marcos

Activation or deactivation of JavaScript is a 'global' (it is turned on for all documents or disabled for all documents) setting level application (Reader or Acrobat).

Signature of a document with a digital signature will have no effect on this parameter.  If a PDF file is "certified" (using a credential CDS issued by an Adobe CDS partner, or with a credential to an authority of certificate on the Adobe approved trust list), then a high level of trust is established that the author of the document has not used any malicious JavaScript in the PDF file.

You establish a high level of trust with a certified PDF, but it cannot prevent users access to PDFs of other unapproved locations.

  • Create Acrobat with JavaScript form field and restrict numeric values only

    Hello

    I use a JavaScript loop to create a number of similar form fields. I'm trying to restrict the data entered in these fields of numbers only. I am able to validate the figures who are registered, but the fields still accept text, I don't want to. How can I make sure that text is not accepted?

    Script:

    var x 1 = 53;
    var y1 = 358;
    var x 2 = 123;
    var y2 = 340;

    for (var i = 1; i < 18; i ++) {}
    var name = "MyField" + i;
    var type = "text";
    var page = 1;
    rental var = [x 1, y1, x 2, y2];
    myField var = this.addField (name, type, page, location);
    myField.textSize = 10;
    myField.setAction ("Post", "AFRange_Validate (true, 0, true, 100) '");
    myField;
    Y1-= 18;
    Y2-= 18;
    };

    For example, if you want to display 2 digits to the right of the decimal separator with a comma of any currency symbol, thousands separator, you need to add:

    myField.setAction ('Format', ' AFNumber_Format (2, 0, 0, 0,-"\", false); ");

    myField.setAction ('Touch', ' AFNumber_Keystroke (2, 0, 0, 0,-"\", false); ");

  • How is it that when I click on clear form Acrobat is option clears all fields populated by a JavaScript document level and if I save them the start of the JavaScript document level form is no longer works?

    How is it that when I click on clear form Acrobat is option clears all fields populated by a JavaScript document level and if I save them the start of the JavaScript document level form is no longer works?

    Or a link to the form or a sample with the same problem.

    You only set the function to run but not executed.

    You should add a line like:

    AtStartup();

    to your script.

    As noted if you have been set "defaultValue" to the fields, then clear the fields would remove any entry present and restore the default values.

    Or you could write a custom JavaScript to clear the fields and then run your startup script.

  • How to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing existing signature field

    How do to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing of signature field when creating a secure pdf document?

    You must allow commenting as well. Reader users will be able to add attachments as comments. You can also use JavaScript with Player 11 and DC to automate the process somewhat.

    If you need users of Reader in order to add attachments as Acrobat can, you need to add the right of use of file attachments, but you can't do that with Acrobat.

    Huh, that's news...

    You can try Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. I think that it is an extension.

    • Run firefox.exe - safe-mode in the search bar in the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)

    Have you added new extensions recently around the time this started happening? The details of your system displays the following:

    Hi stacey1246,

    You can create an interactive PDF form & publish it on your website interactive Edition PDF web forms. Use the same to collect data of forms using Adobe Acrobat and form on the web.

    Hi Eileen97933052,

    The PDF form must be extended drive in order to have this feature to save & print the form data.

    Please confirm by the PDF Creator is the PDF reader or not extended.

    Otherwise, if you have Acrobat installed on your system, you can reader extend PDF form yourself.

  • Dell Precision M4700 (Windows 7 pro) starts not once configured with UEFI and Secure Boot

    To all those who can help you:

    I got a Dell Precision M4700 and I update bios A05. I was intending to move to Windows 8. Everything was fine and the bios update was successful. I started the new bios under Windows 7 Professional (base OS) factory-installed and was very good.

    However, I can't get into the bios (not even see the POST from Dell or Logo) after I activate the UEFI and Secure Boot.This before I update to Windows 8 Pro. Now I'm stuck with a blank screen (same LCD not lit) and nothing to start. It's like a dead PC.

    Help, please. Is that what I can do or should I contact Dell Support for repair?

    Thank you

    I fixed it!  Just removed the CMOS battery, the BIOS got reset back to factory default.  So I did:

    (1) remove the battery

    (2) press the power button to the case of ground

    (3) remove the lower panel

    (4) disconnect the CMOS battery (it's tedious)

    (5) I hit the power button for some time (30 s) to clear the capacitors or something else, it was my theory, but I doubt it's necessary

    (6) use it to all back to the start

    When I turned it on it turns on and turns off several times before finally stay standing and I was then able to enter the BIOS and all the settings have been restored to factory default.  I am new to Windows 7 on my machine so I'll repeat the process, this time without disabling the legacy option roms!

    Here is the disassembly for precision M6700 and M4700 instruction manual if anyone needs:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/wsm4700/en/OM/om_en.PDF

    I was talking about the Dell support problem and the guy said he would talk to his superior and see if something needs to be done, so I guess we'll see if something happens.

    I hope it works for you!

    Is this really the case with the free player, the clients can access is no longer a PDF to add comments and mark out? We have always used a PDF file for the reviews of books/documents, but now we hear customers that there is no way to add comments and annotation. Please let me know if this is the case, or if there is a solution

    '' If '' they use the free software Adobe Reader and "If" there is no security prevent this, he should be able to add comments.

    It'll be hard to say what's wrong without more details such as what exact version of the reader they use, they open the pdf file in a browser or in the player itself and what exactly happens when they try to add comments.

  • I did a Mint install but do not disassociate the synchronization of the former first and now can not synchronize currency new version of Firefox

    I have upgraded to a netbook linux Ubuntu 12.04 17 Mint and was unaware of subsequent Sync FF28 changes. I don't have to dissociate the former firefox and the clean install of Mint17 has the new synchronization version 29? I think so. How to untie the old account so I can sync the new facility? The account had only one machine sync to it.

    Sorry, your data is not recoverable from the old system of synchronization when you use the new synchronization version. The connection method is different it was with the old system, which used a 'key' in addition to the e-mail address and the password for the account. When moving from one account synchronization that Firefox data must be on the machine that has been updated to Firefox 28 to a later version when connecting to the server, the first time. That's because the new version sends the data to a new server using the same e-mail address and password, but the new 'key' is not identical to the old version - it is generated differently than before.
    Here are the instructions for the update to the new sync:
    Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

    In conclusion, no Sync version was intended to be used as a backup media for a single device, it was intended to synchronize Firefox data between multiple devices. Some users have done work with a single device, but not during the last synchronization was performed with the old version and then the user attempted to retrieve their data with the new version and a new operating system or an operating system reinstalled - which has no data of Firefox.

  • How options are related: "confidentiality &gt; don't remember history ', ' privacy &gt; settings customized user &gt; permanent private browsing ' and ' security &gt; remember passwords?

    It is said in support of the pages that the option ' Privacy > don't remember history ' is equivalent to private browsing.
    He said also that after you activate private browsing does not store history or passwords.

    So how are related options: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' confidentiality > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?

    (1) if I activate "Privacy > don't remember history" fact it also means that the passwords are not stored?

    (2) activate instead
    "Privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing."
    This still implies that passwords are not stored?

    3 If 1) or (2) are together, what is the role of the apparently independent option "security > remember passwords?

    I'm sorry but the logic of the user interface is not really clear for me

    Thanks for your help.

    1. Yes. Setting "Firefox will: don't remember history ' prompts you to restart Firefox, after which 'always use private browsing mode' will be checked. The option "Remember passwords for sites" will be disabled and unavailable (grayed out).

    2. Yes. It's the same thing.

    3. as I said, in this case the option "Remember passwords for sites" would be unavailable (grayed out). The rest of the time, this option allows to disable the registration of passwords not in private browsing mode.

  • Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    I'm worried I can compromise the security of my existing of passwords saved in Firefox by installing the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7'. Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?

    You should always be careful when you install extensions, not only for security reasons, but always with respect to the stability of Firefox.

    Extensions, hosted on the site of the Add - ons were examined, unless otherwise stated and are generally safe for installation, but they remain third-party software developed by others (only a few are Mozilla and patches).
