Prevent users from opening a PDF form in preview Mac

When I create an AcroForm, it does not have the same thing when someone doesn't fill it out in preview, and when I get the form back from them, some of the information in the fields of the form is missing.

Is there a way to prevent Mac users from opening the form in the preview? Or give them a message that the form must be completed using Reader?

You can't stop them to do (except while standing next to their computer with a big stick).

You might consider having a large field on the warning page that the file should be used (or other), what is hidden using Acrobat JavaScript.

Be aware that we are now dealing with a very large number of PDF readers.

Included with computers: overview of Mac OS, Windows player.

Included with the browsers: Chrome, Firefox.

Included with portable devices.

Anyone who gets a computer these days actually gets a PDF Viewer that's bad with shapes. You must give them a good reason to download additional software. (Or even, frankly, to renounce forms PDF. "I think that their day has passed to a general public who could fill out a form of browser).

  • How to prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On site oldnavyweekly.com , there is a .swf which prevents users to open multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site and try to open it again in another window, it will not load. Cannot open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?

    My analysis, that is NOT:
    1. cookies - the block always takes place if you try to open it in Internet Explorer and also try to open it in Firefox at the same time.
    2 flash Cookies - the block always takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3 IP Based Block - you are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outgoing IP address. From my analysis, their server does not help in the block at all.

    It seems as if their .swf creates a sort of object throughout the global system which can be detected in other instances of the application on the same computer. How did they implement this?

    Thank you!

    use localconnection.  everyone has a localconnection to send and a receiving localconnection.  the lc reception closes the current application.

  • How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7

    Hello

    I need to prevent users to install (and download) of new programs in Windows 7. I am responsible for three computers. They are not on one network (other than the internet, of course).

    I read the article "How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7" but I'm not sure what choice to make when I get to the choice of Windows Installer. I'm also not quite know how to cancel that so I can install the software when I have to. I've never done this if I want to be very careful.

    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks,

    KK

    Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?

    If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.

    User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817

    Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.

    If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.

    Here's the working solution

    Please rename all the boxes like chkBox0, chkBox1... .chkBox30 (must start with 0)

    Place this Code at the level of the Javascript Document

  • prevent users from deleting any other data

    I have a table

    create table T)
    infoID number primary key,
    Info varchar2 (4000).
    user varchar2 (1)
    );

    and users a, b, c with privileges of object on table T.

    What is the best way to prevent users from deleting any other data?

    1. create a view for each user to interacat with (where user = 'a') and to revoke the privileges of table T.
    2. use the procedures or trigers to catch a bad user.
    3.

    you will have 1 table T shared between 3 users a, b and c and the need of the user a power manage only his own lines (manage is meaning insert/update/delete/select)

    so the solution could be seen with trigger 'instead of', but Oracle has developed functionality especially for this DTV: [virtual private database | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28529/intro.htm#i1010494 |] VPD]

  • Prevent users from deleting datafile

    Hi guys

    My first great application is now complete and I'm about to do a setup of all my files. In the attempt to make my application bulletproof, I came across a possible scenario with a bad result.

    A little info: my application gathers a number that the user input and some readings of voltage of an acquisition of data. Because I have much skill in the formatting of an Excel sheet in Labview, I did everything in Excel. When the data comes by adding shape Labview, my Excel spreadsheet formats cellcolors, calculates data and creates some dynamic graphs that develops when the data are added. So, as you can understand, I spent my whole day layout of this monster-sheet-Excel file.

    Users can open the Excel-sheet form simple press of a button in the Labview program. I did not a dialog box to the user to choose the path to the excel sheet, in other words, the path is static in my code.

    BUT... Then it hits me. What happens if the user deletes the file or destroys the formatting?

    Since I already choose to fit excel sheets in Excel I'll stick with this. That's why I ask you; How do you manage this with your applications?

    Can Labview access a read only file, insert the data and when users open the file they can't change it? As change a read-only file for writing, insert data, then change new read-only.

    What would be the best way to manage the data files?

    Kind regards

    Hi guys again

    Thanks for the tips!

    I thought this question during a good night's sleep. Today, I talked to my boss and he said that I had an extra month to complete the project due to latency on the client side. So I think using all your advice:

    1. make all the formatting in Labview and create a new file if the original file does not exist or is moved.

    2. copy the data and allow the user discovers, to make a backup of the local computer on our server.

    3. write a good manual and inform users how to use the software.

    I had this in mind from the beginning, but when I got the original deadline, time started to run and I had to do a quick fix and do any of the formatting in Excel. Especially the Council Excel on this forum help me a lot

    Thank you and have a great day and weekend

  • Is there a setting that I can activate to prevent users from turning off the computer?

    How prevent we Shut Down

    How do you define a computer or a user to prevent shutting down the computer. ?
    I had an account with complete administration and he's doing a backup of Windows, but the other user is allowed to force closing down since the other user is always log-in (locked).

    Is it possible to prevent users not to shut down the computer if another user is connected? I know it is the settings where you can change the Start Menu, but it is not good enough.

  • ISE 1.4 reviews portal customization - prevent users from saving passwords in the browser

    Hi all

    Do central web authentication for a wireless network of comments I'm deployment ISE 1.4 for a customer. Guest access works very well, however the customer asked me to prevent users to save user names and passwords in the browser.

    I don't see anywhere to prevent this thought the GUI of ISE, which leads me to think that we will need to change the HTML Portal.

    Point 1.2 of the ISE, Cisco provide documentation and code to do so at the following ADDRESS:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/TD/docs/security/ISE/how_to/HOWTO-42-cu...

    These instructions do not work for ISE 1.4 as the guest access menus have changed. In particular, only advanced customization that appears to be available is to download a file EHT CSS customize it and downloading to the ISE.

    From my limited HTML knowledge, customize the file CSS only allows me to change the appearance of the portal, not the functionality.

    Did someone knows if it is possible to cut the custom HTML code and install it on ISE 1.4? Looking through the release notes, this has been replaced in point 1.3 of the ISE when they Redid the feedback portal menuss.

    Thank you

  • The information bar prevents me from opening Webhelp

    I've recently past computers and updated the operating system to Windows 7. Using IE 8, RoboHelp HTML 7.03

    When I compiled my Webhelp project & tried to see, an information bar prevented me to open help. I've never seen this before and as I know, I have not modified the settings in my generation WebHelp SSL.

    The bar says "to help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer."

    I suppose this same information bar would also sabotage the webhelp distributed to our customers. Maybe for customers with IE 8, or those who have Windows 7 + IE 8.

    I found a setting in Internet Explorer (Internet Options / Advanced tab/security/check box "Allow active content to run in files on my computer") which disables the InfoBar for me, but ask our clients to set some setting in IE so that they can read the help is not an option.

    My boss thinks there are a few settings in RoboHelp can I set or change to prevent the blocking of Webhelp this InfoBar. Anyone know of such a context?

    Thanks for your help,
