Abstract: Architecture that provides a secure environment in which data (e.g., code, instructions, files, images, etc.) can be opened and run by a client application. Once opened the data can be viewed (in a “protected view”) by the user without incurring risk to other client processing and systems. Accordingly, the architecture mitigates malicious attacks by enabling users to preview untrusted and potentially harmful data (e.g., files) in a low risk manner. Files opened in the protected view are isolated from accessing key resources on the client computer and provides the user a safer way to read files that can contain dangerous content. The protected view also provides a seamless user experience. The user is unaware that the client is operating on data in a different mode and allows for the reduction of security prompts.

Abstract: Input data is validated by generating code based on the input data. A schema is generated based on the input data indicating conditions for the input file. The schema may then be customized based on a type of application to consume the input data. A validator executable code is generated based on the schema and checks the input file for compliance with the conditions determined by the schema. Results of validation may be provided to the application in yes or no form, or as number of non-compliances. In the latter case, the application may decide to accept or reject the data based on predetermined non-compliance levels.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for exporting a document in multiple formats. The disclosed systems and methods may include creating a metafile including content associated with the document and injecting comments into the metafile. The comments may comprise semantic information corresponding to the document. Also, the metafile may be parsed to create at least one call. The at least one call may be configured to enable an export engine to render the document. Furthermore, the at least one call may be sent to the export engine configured to render the document in an output format associated with the export engine. In addition, the export engine maybe selected from a plurality of export engines based upon user input indicating the output format associated with the selected export engine.

Abstract: Data in a file is read to virtual, autonomous, hierarchically structured object classes that are independent of an application implementation. The object classes are navigable and/or actionable allowing various operations including, but not limited to, validation, integrity testing, “file open”, and file repair at the data level. By rendering a complete picture of the data including relationships before it is actually consumed by an application, security and robustness of applications can be enhanced.

Abstract: A project management resources scheduling user interface is provided in which resource information may be displayed in a condensed timeline for each resource over the duration of a project. Individual tasks or groups of tasks displayed in the project management resources scheduling view may be moved from one resource to another resource while respecting project constraints and dependencies. Unassigned and unscheduled tasks may be dragged onto the scheduling view and may be dropped on a given resource in a timing location required by the project. Tasks may be viewed according to a hierarchical relationship between tasks of a given project. The scheduling view may be used in combination with a Gantt chart view of project tasks for allowing a view of both task-based and resource-based scheduling.

Abstract: A publisher program for automatically changing the layout of content-filled desktop publishing documents. The publisher program allows the author of a document to use a menu-driven utility to define a first layout for the document. A program module known as a Wizard then renders a document in the first layout. The author makes changes to the document while the document is in the first layout, typically by adding content and making author-defined changes to the document rendered by the Wizard. The author may then return to the menu-driven utility to select a second layout for the document. The Wizard renders a document in the second layout and a program module known as a Page Manager automatically applies the author's changes to the document and renders a content-filled document in the second layout.
