Can't create a digital signature with acrobat 8

We have acrobat 8.  My husband has a digital signature but when I try to electronically sign, his digital signature pops up and does not give me the option to create my own.  How can I create my own digital signature on this software?

I don't have Acrobat 8, but in Acrobat 7 & 9 it's under "Advanced > Security Settings", which prings up a window where you can add a digital ID.

  • File size increases dramatically after digital signature with Acrobat X

    I signed a PDF file using Acrobat X.
    File size of unsigned document: 200 k
    File size of signed document: 3200 k (more than ten times bigger)
    Any idea?

    Finally I found the solution.
    The file size increase is a result of the embedded information used for long-term signature validation.
    If you do not need this feature, you can turn it off:
    Preferences > Security > Advanced Preferences > Creation tab
    disable "Include Signature’s Revocation"

  • Digital Signature with Password

    I created a digital signature with a password. Now, I've forgotten my password. How do I reset it so I can use it?

    You can't reset it. Create a new signature.

  • Create an email merge with Acrobat XI

    How do I create an email merge (secure and insecure) with Adobe Acrobat XI professional?

    What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

  • Problem with digital signatures in Acrobat 8

    Is it true that the ability to directly create a digital signature field is available in Acrobat 7 & 9 but not in 8?
    I have Acrobat Standard 8.0.0 and want to create blank signature fields before I certify a document, but can't find a way to do this directly. I can add a signature then delete it to create a blank field, but this is a very slow way of doing it.
    I have read Forum articles saying choose Tools > Forms > Digital Signature Tool to create a blank field, but I have no Forms item in my Tools menu. Am I missing something, or do I need to upgrade to Acrobat 9 (or downgrade to 7!)?

    Hi Brian,
    It's not that version 8 per se cannot add a signature field, it's that you cannot create or edit form fields in the Standard version. If you had Acrobat 8 Professional, or you buy Acrobat 9 Pro, then you would have the capability to add and edit form fields (a signature fields is just a special purpose form field).

  • Digital signatures with different versions of Reader

    I have created a form which requires a digital signature for approval. Typically, an employee will complete the form in Reader and forward it to a supervisor for approval. The supervisor needs to sign it digitally and forward it to me.
    The issue we are having is with those employees who are completing the form in Reader and the supervisor (or someone thereafter) has a more updated version of Reader and cannot sign the document. What can we do to stop this from happening? There is no practical way to keep everyone on the same version of Reader. We will have many more forms which require a signature, and we need this issue resolved. (I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to create the forms.)
    Also, is there a way to verify the digital signature without using a third-party source? At this point, we know anyone can create a digital signature using someone's hand-written signature they found on another paper and we would like to prevent this from happening. We need to validate the person who used the digital signature is really that person.
    Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    If you are creating your forms in Acrobat 9 Pro. and then Reader-enabling them for digital signatures, then recipients of the form will need to use at least version 8 of the Adobe Reader. Also, you'll need to do a few things during the authoring stage of your form, if your form changes by role (i.e., additional data is entered, annotations, or multiple signatures). Mainly you'll need to use a certification sig. for the first signature and set permitted changes after certifying.
    You can find a lot more detail on best practices on developing forms for multiple signatures in the Digital Signature User Guide at:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/acrobat_digsig_userguide_90.pdf
    The guide also explains how to validate documents (authenticity validation and document integrity validation).

  • Digital Signatures with Adobe Reader

    So i created an adobe form with acrobat 9 and sent it out for all to digitally sign.  about half are getting an error when they try to sign it.  "The credential selected for signature is invalid"
    We are a government agency and use Common Access Cards (CAC) certificates to digitally sign with. 
    i was hoping someone out there could either point me to a good recource for adobe and digital signatures or to a possible fix. 
    now we have narrowed it down to the problem being with the specific machine.  the user can digitally sign the document on another machine, but not on thier own machine.  Also, no one else can sign the doc on thier machine either. 
    Thanks in advance!

    issue still exists.  ive been searching for some info on how adobe handles digital signatures, like what folders are created on the machine.  im thinking maybe i can clear out the app data for acrobat or something.  im at a loss at the moment.

  • How do I create a digital signature on a TCP or a UDP flow?

    I am trying to convert samples of a voice signal, which is intercepted from the microphone, into fixed length digital signature bytes (using Hash, or) and attach these fixed length bytes to a communication session between two terminals (UDP or TCP "HTTP"). The other receving end should be able to identify the person at the sending side.
    Any thoughts how I could do this?
    Any help is most appreciated.
    Sam

    Sam,
    If you have the Sound and Vibration toolkit it may make some things easier for you regarding the voice-recording aspect, but if you aren't recording and playing back the actual sounds, just using this for detection and digital signatures, you shouldn't need to worry about this.
    1. For this you are going to be doing some form of Analog Input.  Then you will be storing this data to a file.  There are examples for both of these aspects in the NI Example Finder from within LabVIEW.
    2. If you are going to be doing the FFT, there is a VI under the Mathematics Palette that performs this operation.  Again you can use the same example for saving data to the file.
    3. You would need to figure out what needs to be done to create a digital signature for this.  There may be something in the Sound and Vibration toolkit for this, but I do not know.
    4. For the UDP or TCP transfers, there are several examples for doing this and they cover how to create the connection and transfer / receive data.  These too are in the NI Example Finder
    5. This goes back to number 4, this would indeed be a separate program, but everything else would just be one project and one program.  
    6. This would depend on how the ID was created in step 3, again whether you do the algorithm on yourself or not.  For comparing to the table, you would use a Search Array and some comparison functions, all depending on how you stored the data initially.
    7. Graphs are all available on your Front Panel of your VIs and you would just wire up the data that you'd like and have it displayed on the graph.
    There will not be an example for everything that you are wanting to do.  The examples are meant to help you get started.  Have you used LabVIEW before?  I would recommend doing the 3 Hour LabVIEW Introduction Course to help you get started.  This will cover some of the basic concepts that you will need to know in order to create your application.
    Unfortunately I cannot write the code for you, only guide and direct you.  LabVIEW is a programming language and does require the user to lay out and create their own program.  You will not be able to just find three or four pre-built code-snippets and connect them together to get your appliction working the way you want it.  You will need to develop the applications yourself.

  • In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

    In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

    If the other person will be using Reader, you should first add a digital signature field and then Reader enable the form. In Acrobat 10 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to get into form editing mode. You'd then select the signature field tool to add a signature field.
    Once you have the document finalized, Reader-enable the document by selecting: File > Save As > Reader-Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    being sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original. If you don't Reader-enable, Reader users won't be able to digitally sign.

  • Digital Signatures with SmartCards.

    Hi guys,
    Has anyone implemented in R/3 digital signatures with smartcards?
    Currently I'm at customer side trying to implement digital signatures within workflow processes using ABAP SSF functions. The smartcard devices are already installed, but I can't read the data inside the smartcard, moreover, I can't link the smartcard device with R/3 and I don't know how to do it…
    I read in some Weblogs and documents that it is necessary a SAP-certified external security product. I believe this external security product is the software that comes inside of smartcard drivers CD. It is something like a little application on which we can sign in data and put our fingerprint.
    I guess it is not supposed to develop an interface application between smartcard and R/3! When I started these developments I thought that I only needed to configure some environment variables to connect these devices with R/3 and then develop the ABAP flow logic with SSF Functions - Am I right?
    Can anyone provide me some guidelines for this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricardo.

    The SmartCard device is present at the frontend PC - and that's the place where the digital signature operation has to take place. Important is the "What You See Is What You Sign" principle: it has to be ensured that the data that is to be signed (using the private key stored on the SmartCard) is exactly the same as the one that is displayed to the user.
    Notice: there is a different scenario where the server is signing the data (after prompting the user for userID and password and validating that information).
    The signed data is then transported back to the server where it is stored (to ensure auditibility); usually you'll have to keep the (archived) data for years; the public key need to be archived as well.
    Notice: it is possible to attach the certificate (-> public key) which has been used to sign the data to the signed data.

  • Create electronic-digital signature for data

    Hello
    As possible create electronic-digital signature for data, referred through HTTP form internet explorer?
    Thank you very much for your support.

    George,
    Thank you for your submission.  It was helpful. This allowed me to create the signature block without having to place my own digital signature in the block.  However, when I send it to my client (who has Adobe Reader but not Acrobat) she is unable to input her digital signature … I’m now half-way there but I continue to pursue a solution.

  • How to create a digital signature error

    Hello,
    hope i do my post in the right forum (if not i'd be grateful if it could be displaced to the correct forum). I've to do create some incidents to have a look at the output of Security Audit Log (Transaction sm20).
    I want to create a digital signature error (SAL Identifier AUV) and i've no clue how i could get it done. First I thought about an invalid single sign on ticket but apart from I would have no clue about how to create such, I don't know if that's a way to make the error, mentioned above, occur.
    Maybe you could give me a hint or you have an idea how I could get that done!?
    Thanks in advance
