cancel open site dialog

[MartinCS]

Hello Trackers,

using the PDF Viewer SDK it is possible to suppress / overwrite the security dailog showing up when a user clicks a hyperlink inside of a pdf document.

Code: Select all

Dim vDataOut As Object = ""
If (modMisc.StrCompare(pName, "Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite")) Then

 vDataIn = "Yes"
 AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite.UserChoice", vDataIn, 0)
 Exit Sub
				
End If

Is there an appropriate event id for PDF Editor SDK, which I can register to? I had a look at the available Editor events (https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... 172#p94313) and could not find a possible option.

Thank you,
Martin

Hello Martin,

You can change these settings Security.OpenFilePerm Security.OpenSitePerm to allow opening all of the links:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.Inst.Settings["Security.OpenFilePerm"].v = 1; //allow
pdfCtl.Inst.Settings["Security.OpenSitePerm"].v = 1; //allow

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

I included the two code lines. But I still get the warning message dialog:

03-11-_2016_15-26-33.zip

Is there another setting which can be used to suppress this dialog?

Thanks,
Martin

Everything worked for me. I am using the code from the form's constructor though. Try using this:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.Inst.Settings["Security.OpenFilePerm"].v = 1; //allow
pdfCtl.Inst.Settings["Security.OpenSitePerm"].v = 1; //allow
pdfCtl.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PDFXEdit.PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Security);

Cheers,
Alex

I'm running this code in the constructor of a windows form as well:

Code: Select all

PxvInst.Settings["Docs.SingleWnd"].v = false;
PxvInst.Settings["Docs.HideSingleTab"].v = false;
PxvInst.Settings["Docs.AutoSyncDocPanesLayouts"].v = true;

PxvInst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Documents);

PxvInst.Settings["Security.OpenFilePerm"].v = 1;
PxvInst.Settings["Security.OpenSitePerm"].v = 1;

PxvInst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Security);

Is there an error using the FireAppPrefsChanged method twice?

Nope, that's not an error. If you are having troubles with that, please create a small project with these settings included and a test document so that we can test it and hopefully find out what's wrong.

Hi Alex,

I created a project containing the code I'm using when opening a pdf document within PDF Editor (using the latest build).

CancelOpenSiteDialog.zip

My "problem" is that it is working now. While creating the sample project and noticed it is working I tried to comment out code which is running in my main project to find the difference. I ended up with the "ImportUserSettings()" routine which uses this code part (full code see sample project):

Code: Select all

var op =
	pdfCtl.Inst.CreateOp(pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("op.settings.import"));

if (op == null)
{
	return;
}

...

op.Params.Root["Input"].v = fsInst.DefaultFileSys.StringToName(fileName);
op.Do();

After commenting it out once in my main project suppressing the security warning dialog worked. I uncommented it again and it is working now.

I think the problem was that I ran the new securtiy settings first (inside of the constructor) and the ImportSettings routine afterwards, which caused the security settings to be overwritten. Could that be the case?

Cheers,
Martin

Hello Martin,

Of course this can be the problem - you have overwritten the settings that you've just modified thus the modifications were nullified. These modifications should be done after all of the settings import (if you need one - not sure why though).

Cheers,
Alex
