Delete default electronic signature

I created an "electronic signature" using Adobe Reader (NOT digital signature, rather one that looks like my hand written signature).
Now, if I do Sign -> Place Signature, it uses the signature I previously "took", without offering to create a new one.
Problem is, I'm not happy with the current one.
How do I get Adobe Reader to allow me to make a new signature, and make it the default?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader.  It retained the undesired signature.
Thanks

Hi Bannerdog58,
When you go to Sign--> Place Signature, you will get a drop down arrow and it gives option to clear previous signature. Please see the screenshot below:

  • Printing issue with Electronic Signatures

    In the footer of my document, i place document properties and also use the captioning feature for tables and figures. I have saved it in native 2010 format not in a compatability mode.
    When I print my document (paper or PDF) these fields print properly.
    After I electronically sign the document and look at the document on the screen, the fields and caption numbers (Table 1-1: Intended Audience) appear correctly. When I print to PDF or paper, the numbers disappear (Table 1-: Intended Audience) and they
    also disappear from the screen.
    When I close the document and reopen it, the fields are correct. It only changes after the document prints.
    Using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version 14.0.6023.1000 (32-bit).
    (--merging--)
    The original document was a 2007 document opened/stored in the 2010 format.
    Reproduced with new 2010 document simply by creating two properties:
    Template Version - Test - Value 1.0
    Template Date - Date - Value 1/25/2012
    And doing the following:
    Using the default Normal template with calibri as the font
    Added a heading level 1 to the document
    Added a 2x2 table with Insert Caption including the chapter number based on heading 1 below the table
    Added the template version and template date as two lines on the page
    Inserted a signature line
    Created a footer with the template version, page number aligned center (via tab), template date alighted right (via tab)
    Printed without signing and all data was present (Table 0-1: Test)
    Signed the document and printed. The following was missing:
    The template date in the footer.
    The table label was Table 0-: Test
    The template date was present in the middle of the document

    Hi,
    Is this problem only affect Word program with Electronic Signatures?
    Please try to test Printing with different printer drivers.
    If the Word printing problem occurs only when you print documents with a certain font or a certain type of graphics image, try to print to another printer.
    If no other printer is available, contact the manufacturer to find out whether there is an updated version of the driver or a different driver that works with your printer model.
    You may also follow other methods in this KB article troubleshoot print issue in word:

  • Connecting to an Electronic Signature Pad

    Hello,
    We have just purchased Acrobat 9.0 Pro for our business and are trying to get it to work with an electronic signature pad. Both the ignature pad and Acrobat are installed and working: I was told by multiple different personel that Acrobat would work with an electronic signature pad. However, I am not able to get the epad and acrobat to talk to each other. I have tried going to Edit->Preferences->Security (Advanced Settings) -> Create -> Signature Default drop-dpwn menu, but it is not allowing me to connect. The ePad is supposed to be compatilbe with Acrobat, and I was, as mentioned above, told that Acrobat would work with an ePad. I am not opposed to returning the pad IF I have to and purchasing one through Adobe, but as far as I know they do not sell hardware. Help appreciated!

    Did Adobe tell you the pad was compatible or somebody else. Personally, I'd recommend you drop the electronic pad idea and switch to digital signatures.

  • How to add electronic signatures to crystal report?

    All-
    I need to add a .bmp (electronic signature) to the bottom of my Crystal PO form.  I want to use .bmp files located in a specific folder.  I see a Format graphic option and an area to enter a location, but can't seem to get it to work.  How do I insert a picture that is not just inserted into the form, but rather use a specific .bmp file in a specific location.  I need to put in an electronic signature of different people based on certain criteria.  Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance.. Pat

    1. First, you need to have a default picture. I normally have an empty .jpg , let's call it Empty.jpg
    2. Assuming you insert different signature  .bmp based on in VendorCountry
    3. Following this steps:
    - Insert Empty.jpg into the PO fom
    - right click on the picture in crystal report, and click Format grapic
    -  In the picture tab, you can find the field Graphic Location
    click on the blue pen on the right, then put in the condition as you want.
    If VendorCounty = 'US' then
    C:\abc.jpg
    else if VendorCounty = 'AU' then
    C:\zzz.jpg
    else
    c:\empty.jpg

  • Electronic Signatures / SAP Authorizations

    Default functionality of the electronic signature is that it validates the SAP MII User.  We, on the other hand, need to validate the SAP User.  One thing comes to mind is to have ABAP Security in place, and all users must have an SAP account.  What happens if we decide to use the UME and when we decide to do the electronic signature it checks the SAP user account?

    Hi Isabelle,
    Thanks for your patience in understanding my question.
    My primary worry is if i use this exit to have electronic signatures in 4.0b and i know this functionality (Electronic  signatures) is standard in latest versions, what will happen to the electronic signature data that i create until i upgrade.
    The electronic signature data is the user id , date and time associated with a notification. I plan to store this in a custom table.
    I will appreciate , if you can share with me your analysis.
    Thanks

  • Capturing image with electronic signature.

    A new functionality of electronic signature is provided with webcenter content. We can create metadata for electronic signature but its type can only be text, int, checkbox, lontText etc. It does not allow capturing image.
    As per our requirement we want a process like
    1. System will allow every user to upload an image of his signature. (We can do it by normal check in so no problem here)
    2. Electronic signature should be configured to take image as a metadata. (Currently I believe signature can't take image)
    3. When user signs a document, image metadata should get automatically populated with users signature as checked in in first step. (Currently I believe we can't set default value for signature metadata)
    4. User should provide password and other metadata information and document should get signed. (No problem here)
    5. As part of water mark we should be able to show image of signature on document.
    How should we achieve it?
    Thanks
    Sanjeev.

    I believe there's a disconnect between what an official "electronic signature" is vs. other electronic signatures. There is a defined regulation that states what an official electronic record signature is: 21 cfr part 11 .
    putting an image isn't a 'real' esig.
    I do not believe that WCContent's new esig feature is what you're after.
    I'm not sure exactly what the last few lines of your previous post were after, but you might be able to get away with only using the PDF Watermark component if you just want to stamp specific content into the pdf.
    If you want to stamp images into pdfs, you'll have to create a custom component that does some custom image manipulation, I believe.
    If you have a requirement for 'real' electronic signatures. you should check if your requirement needs to follow 21 cfr part 11. if so, then you should use what WCContent offers out of the box.
    This document seems to cover the topic in very good detail:
    http://www.usdatamanagement.com/attachments/article/274/Oracle-ECM-Part-11-Certification-White%20Paper.pdf
    Does this help separate what UCM offers as an esig vs. stamping an ink-signature image into a pdf?

  • My windows says i can't download firefox installer because file is corrupt, it does not have an electronic signature

    after i donated 5dollars to become a member of firefox, i was given a file to download onto my laptop. this file is suppose to allow me to begin the process of setting up or installing firefox into my laptop that i may browse the internet. after i saved this file into my laptop i tried to open the file so i may start the process of setting up firefox into my laptop but my system says firefox file is corrupt it does not have an electronic signature. therefore i can't complete the firefox set up process that will allow me to have firefox installed in my system that i may browse the internet.

    You should not be paying for firefox, delete whatever the file is and run malware checks on your computer.
    Obtain a proper version of firefox from say getfirefox.com for free and install that.
    * presumably you are using Windows (your system info, aside, suggests you are using IE ) see [[installing firefox on windows]]
    * and [[is my firefox problem a result of malware]]

  • Multiple electronic signatures in PDF portfolio

    I Have a PDF portfolio that has multiple PDFs in it each requiring 1 or more electronic signatures.  The problem is that after the first person signs one of the PDFs no one else is able to and they receive an error saying it's already open or they have read only access

    Which Acrobat version do you have? I've heard that there is a bug in this area in Acrobat 11.0.7. I do not have personal experience with it and I do not know how soon it will be fixed.

  • I have adobe Acrobat - I am trying to do a electronic signature and its is asking for a passwork

    I am trying to sign a document that is protected from an university. It is asking me for a password to put in my electronic signature.  I don't have that password and it isn't the one for my account

    Hi Estella,
    It sounds like the university has disallowed signing in this particular document, unless you have  Document Permissions password. You will have to ask the person who created the document what the password is, so that you can sign the document.
    I wish I had a different answer for you--but there's no way around that without the document password.
    Best,

  • Can I open a Reader 9 Document with electronic signatures in Reader 10?

    I currently have an Adobe Reader 9 document with fields filled out and also with several electronic signatures.
    I need to be able to edit this document.
    My understanding is that I can only edit or add the typewritter tool only when using Reader 10.
    So couple of questions. First, will I be able to open this Reader 9 document using Reader 10?
    Second, will I be able to add the typewritter tool once I download Reader 10?
    Third, will I be able to make changes to existing form field data, once I add the typewritter tool?
    Fourth, will this process invalidate the digital signatures already authenticated?

    The "Typewriter tool" is only available in Acrobat Pro. Reader 11 DOES have the ability to "Add text comments" to a PDF but it isn't exactly the same thing. I'm unsure if "comments" will print or not.

  • How do I delete a digital signature field?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on Snow Leopard. I created a digital signature for a PDF file but it didn't look good, so I decided to delete it. I figured out how to delete the signature, but the signature field with the little red arrow did not delete with my signature. I want my PDF form to revert to the way it was before I created the signature. I cannot simply close the PDF without saving because I'd lose all the information I've already entered. Stupid me forgot to save before attempting the digital signature.
    HOW CAN I DELETE the digital signature field? Help!

    Hi SM,
    The place to look for permission settings is on the Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. You can get there by selecting the File > Properties menu item and then select the Security tab.
    One thing to note is if the file is Reader Enabled you will need to use the File > Save a Copy menu item to create a non-Reader enabled version of the file. You cannot edit a Reader Enabled file. As an aside, the Save a Copy menu item won't be there if the file is not Reader Enabled.
    If the file was created using Designer (which is only on Windows and I know you are using a Mac) then it has to be edited in Designer.
    If the file was certified, then you need to remove (clear) the certifying signature before you can edit the file, and to do that you must have access to the private key that was used as part of that signature operation.
    Finally, if the file is encrypted (e.g. Password Security or Certificate Security), you can edit the file, but you have to get Acrobat to realize you are the document owner which means you need the Permissions password or or logged in using a document owners digital ID (the former is only for Password Security and the latter is only for Certificate Security).

  • Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

    Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
    When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open".  When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature.  Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
    We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing.  We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing.  We stored the files in another server and nothing.  One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder.  Another is saving the file with a different file name.
    I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane.  See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”.  No luck with this one too.
    Is definitively an intermittent problem.  The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
    This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
    Any ideas?

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:
    'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject. 
    We really need help getting this resolved.
