  • Patent number: 8522203
    Abstract: A method for managing script added to an interactive document or fillable, electronic form. The method includes receiving user input for generating a script and then generating a script based on the user input. The method further includes as part of script generation providing a header in the script that includes a management flag or data in a header block indicating that the script is managed, a managed script object, and an edit verification value such as a cyclic redundancy check value. After the script is generated, the method includes parsing the document to determine whether the managed script has been edited or to otherwise verify the script's integrity. The method includes when the script has been edited modifying the management flag to indicate the script is released from script management. Unmanaged editing may be detected by comparing a stored edit verification value with the header value from each snippet.

  • Patent number: 7701471
    Abstract: An application initiates a display of a first portion of an image in a viewing region of a display screen. Additionally, the application initiates a transparent display of an overflow indicator in a display area of the viewing region to enable viewing through the overflow indicator to corresponding content associated with the image. As its name suggests, the overflow indicator indicates that there is a second portion of the image not currently displayed in the viewing region. This technique of providing the overflow indicator overlaid on the image enhances a user's viewing experience because a display area or region occupied by the overflow indicator (e.g., a shaded region) enables a user to i) view an unobstructed view of the image beneath the overflow indicator, and ii) identify that a current size of the viewing region only shows a portion of the image rather than the whole image.
