I have an XDP form that acts as a user interface for a database in a
Workflow Server process to gather information, and then is submitted
back to Workflow Server to continue the process. It is rendered as a
PDF. If the database functionality of the PDF file is used, i.e. to
repopulate a list or validate entries, the following dialog box
appears:

"Security Warning

This document as accessed more than one site and might be trying to
share data among different locations. This could be a privacy concern.
Are you sure you want to continue?"

I'm running Acrobat Pro 7 in IE6, with LiveCycle 7 products. The only
thing I can say with any amount of confidence is that it's not a
browser issue, as I get identical messages when viewed through either
IE or FireFox. I believe it's an Acrobat issue, but I can't find
anywhere in the Acrobat settings to disable it. This is a major
annoyance for the users, since more and more forms are going to need
this functionality as we progress, and the average user does NOT like
to see a "Security Warning" every time they submit a form.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This security warning is probably because your database is running on
a different machine to the one that served the form, and will generate
a security warning.
The only way I'm aware of to fix it is to go into Reader, Edit/
Preferences... select Trust Manager, click Change Settings... and
click "Allow all web sites".

Howard,

Thanks a lot for your response. But the security warning does not ask
whether to allow or block the site but says that we are accessing more
than one site. Also, it happens only in the version of Adobe Reader
7.0.x . When i submit a from from Reader 8.0 onwards, it works
perfectly fine. I am not posting my form as the web service would not
work for you anyways.. but this is the code for web service call.


try
{
var val1 = "GetUserList:ram";
// Set up two integer values to be added in a web method call:
var aString = {soapType: "xsd:string", soapValue: val1};
// Set up the document literal:
var req = {};
req["synchronousInvoke"] = {in_str_key: aString};
var mySOAPAction = "http://172.29.28.80:8080/services/
TPAF_PT_WS_Config?wsdl";
var myURL = "http://172.29.28.80:8080/services/TPAF_PT_WS_Config?
wsdl";
var myNamespace = "http://adobe.com/workflow/services/
TPAF_PT_WS_Config";

// Invoke the web service:
var response = SOAP.request({
cURL: myURL,
oRequest: req,
cAction: mySOAPAction + "submitForm",
bEncoded: false,
cNamespace: myNamespace,
cResponseStyle: SOAPMessageStyle.Message
});


//var responseString = "http://adobe.com/workflow/services/
nith_3:synchronousInvokeResponse";
//var result = response["ns10:str_name"]["return"];
//app.alert(result);
// Display the response to the console:
var value1 = response[0].soapValue[9].soapValue;
app.alert("output = " + value1);

}catch(e)
{
app.alert(e);
}




After this, when i click on submit button, i get tat security warning
which occurs every time ( even after clicking on Do not show this
message). Please help!!
