Report Indexing / Re: Report Wizard using PDF op...

Ok, after last comment I did the following

1. Removed CMOD from laptop by doing an Uninstall.  I also deleted the Ondemand folder under Program Files (x86).  I then went into REGEDIT and removed
    Ondemand Folder from HKEY_CURRENT_USER.  I couldnt remove it from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

2.) After removing CMOD software I rebooted machine.

3.) I then did an UNINSTALL of Adobe Acrobat PRO.  As with CMOD, I deleted Folder in Program Files (x86) and in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_USERS.

4.) Rebooted machine.

5.)  Re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on PC.

6.) Rebooted machine.

7.) Re-installed CMOD software

8.) Rebooted machine.

9.) Check the pluigin folder in Adobe and arspdf32.api was there.

10.) Configured server in admin client.

12.)  I logged into CMOD Client (Viewer) and viewed a PDF report.  Viewed correctly.  Previously it would open but couldnt page through correctly./

13.) I then launched Wizard selecting PDF options.  I chose the same PDF that works on old machine.

14.) This time it opened correctly. Box had red line around it and data was viewable.  BUT when attempting to draw a box around any data to capture a
       Trigger value all it does is draw a dotted box but won't highlight anything.

The REALLY odd thing is, I did another restart on laptop to see of it corrected anything and found I was back to square one again.  Couldn't view a PDF correctly in Viewer AND wizard was doing what it was before.  Not loading data page.  It seems related somehow to the arspdf32.api file.  But again, get NO error box.  I don't know what else to try!!  lol

Hi Ed!..Both machines are running the same exact version of Adobe Acrobat Pro ( we learned in the past Adobe Reader won't work).  And both machine have the same exact verson of CMOD (10.5.0.2). 

The Adobe was installed first and in checking, the arspdf32.api was not present in the plugin folder in Adobe.  Which was expected.

Then installed the CMOD software.  The arspdf32 was then found in the Adobe Plugin folder.

I get NO error when launching the PDF wizard in CMOD.  I know you can an error if the arspdf32 isn't found in Adobe.

It's hard to explain but after choosing the PDF, aIt flashes showing the data of the PDF then goes away and all I see is a  white box with a red line around it but no data.   IF I try and move the box it flashes again showing the data but again data goes away.  Oddest thing. 

As I indicated, everything work perfect on my old PC.  No issues at all using same PDF. 

Got me baffled.  Expeciall

Hey guy -

Don't know if it helps but I have this old tip that I got from Alessandro Perucchi:
________________________________

Hello Ed,

you need to have at least Acrobat Standard version installed.
You cannot use it with Acrobat Reader.

And then if you have it installed, then you must be sure that it is installed before CMOD Client.
If it installed after, you'll need to copy the arspdf32.api from   <Home Directory for CMOD Client>\PDF
and copy it in the plug-ins directory of your installation of Acrobat Standard Version.

Cheers,
Alessandro

Hello,

I recently received a new work laptop running Windows 11.  My previous laptop had Windows 10.  On my old laptop I had CMOD10.5.0.2 and was running Adobe Acrobat Pro version 2025.001.20432.  On my new laptop, I have the same exact versions of both products.  But on new laptop the PDF wizard is not working.  For added info, I had Adobe installed first THEN the CMOD software.  After launching the wizard I receive no error and I verified the arspdf32.api file is in the Adobe Plugin folder.  What initially happened was when trying to highlight text to capture the indexing (ie Trigger and Index values) I would get the box drawn around the value but would not highlight it to capture.  Now when trying to run the wizard, its al,ost like it tries to open in a different windiow and keeps blinking??  This same 1 page PDF works fine on my old machine.  I've done numerous uninstalls of both Adobe and CMOD software.  Always reboot after each removal and install and always installing Adobe first.  I know when Plugin isnt in adobe you get an error.   Does anyone have any ideas what to check as to why I'm getting these results?  TY!!

10.5.0.8 inadvertently removed the 201 message.

The 201 message has been restored in 10.5.0.9

Just a quick note to let you know we were down for a little over 24 hours due to a blackout in the area -- the VM server came back up after power was restored, but the individual VM didn't restart automatically!

We'll be fixing that issue by moving to a small cloud server in the next week or so.

That adds some clarity, but unfortunately we still can't answer your question, because we don't know what your site's backup strategy is, and if it relies on being able to access these files to complete a database restore to a particular point in time.  You'll have to determine this with the help of your in-house database administrators and enterprise backup teams.
