if notarisation is the only issue: keep in mind that notarisation is a guard against downloaded apps, meaning, it only applies to apps you installed after you upgraded to Catalina, and apps you downloaded from the internet (HTTP, FTP, AirDrop file transfer). it does not apply to apps you already i

I am creating different PDF documents via Rob Laveaux’s QPDF Plugin. I would like to restrict editing the document afterward. Is there a way to do that with 4D or any other plugin? I can always ask my client to open the PDF in Acrobat and hit save as with this option on. But this extra step that

Hi Rudy, IMHO UTF-8 encoding only makes sense in the context of plain text files (character based files like txt, csv, tsv, xml, json, html,...). But it has no meaning for binary files (PDF, pictures). xlsx and docx files are essentially zip archives containing a bunch of xml files. For xml fil

Good day, I have seen that issue as well. I have a function that prior to running a backup is saves the users and groups to a blob using user to blob and puts them in the database. I have seen this issue where when a restore the users and groups the memberships in the groups get botched.

4D Authentication not working as expected

I thought I'd replace hand-written code I got from Mark Mitchenall many years ago, since 4D had since come out with two commands (since 15.4?) which theoretically, would make that code unnecessary -- blob to users and users to blob. From what I understood, the users, groups, and modifications made

I think you should first think about what encoding means, in general file encoding means the encoding of text files. If you use your code below with pdf files you destroy the pdf in a very reliable way, since pdf files are binary files. The same is with nearly all picture formats (and with Word
