Digital signature not showing in PDF when opened and printed with Preview

Not being able to find anything after searching high and low, I thought I would try my luck here: when I certify a PDF file using a visible signature in Adobe Acrobat Professional that signature does not show when I open the file in Preview or print it from Preview. Preview's Inspector information also claims that I can make changes, which I instructed Adobe not to allow.
Thanks for any feedback on this!

Try re-uploading the PDF and then updating the course. Sometimes the conversion doesn't take and the tracking doesn't apply correctly to a PDF.

  • Digital Signature Not Showing Up in Saved PDF

    I am frequently sent pdf contracts that need to be filled out, signed and returned.  I turn the pdf into a form and then add a signature field, click "certify with visible signature," sign it and save it as a pdf.  But then when I email the signed pdf it has all the form content but doesn't show the signature. Same for when I open the file in Preview.  The signature only shows up in Acrobat.  Can anyone help explain what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It was dsaks  who originally asking about creating a digital signature and that's what the core of this thread is about. When Mobius Strip  asked about flattening the signature into a bitmap image that I suggested using a custom signature appearance, because the progenitor of the thread was asking about digital signatures. If they can get by with using a custom stamp then that's fine by me, but that wasn't the thread topic.
    On to your questions:

    I understand why Adobe won't (if that's the case) license the digital signatures ability so that Preview and other applications can use it. However, it should be trivial to allow that wet ink signature appear in other apps and I don't see a compelling reason to prevent it -- afer all, it's not a digital signature.
    There is no licensing involved here. The PDF specification is public and the Acrobat SDK even has an example of how to create your own signature plug-in. When it comes to the actual cryptographic operations we license the software from RSA. As far as how the signature is created, and how it should be processed, that's all covered by public facing documentation. In fact, Apple is more than capable of processing signatures using their Keychain utility, it's just that they have elected not to include that functionality into Preview.
    If your job is to monitor this forum and assist users, why couldn't you manage to suggest that the other users use the stamps feature, since it was clear that what they were wanting was only the signature image? These folks are spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on your products and they deserve better than this.
    It's not my job to monitor the forum. I chime in on digital signature issues because it's a complex subject and there are so few people who understand the minutia of how they work. If dsaks hadn't added  "certify with visible signature," to the original post I would have skip this completely, but he/she did so I tried to answer their question.
    Finally, it's a bit disingenuous when you stated "The image does not display at all, except in Acrobat/Acrobat Reader". It just doesn't display in the free Mac Preview app. There are other third party signature handlers that will process and display a digital signature in a PDF file, but there are not a lot of them in free PDF viewers. As I said above, if dsaks can get by with a custom stamp then great, but if he/she needs a cryptographically sound digital signature then there is no reason why not to created it because everyone can get the free Reader for the Mac, Windows and Linux platforms.

  • Digital Signature Not Showing Up

    I'm in the process of creating a form, which has two digital signature fields on it.  (One for the supervisor, one for the supervisor's employee.)  I then submit this to a classic ASP script (process_form.asp#FDF) which contains code to save the fields to an FDF.  The code is below:
    <%@ Language=VBScript %>
    <%
    Set FdfAcX = Server.CreateObject("FdfApp.FdfApp")
    Set FDFin = FdfAcx.FDFOpenFromBuf (Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes))
    FDFIn.FDFSaveToFile "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\JBO\test.fdf"
    Set FDFin = Nothing
    Set FdfAcX = Nothing
    %>
    I then open the FDF back up in the browser (which of course merges it with the original PDF) and it shows all the information I filled out in all of the fields EXCEPT the digital signatures.  I know the signature's in there, because I can see evidence of it when I open up the FDF in a hex editor, or even notepad.exe. (I can see my email address, for example.)
    What am I doing wrong?  How do I get the signature(s) to show back up after the form is signed?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just wanted to update this thread for anyone who might have a similar issue - I solved my problem; it was quite a bit easier than I thought it would be.
    The documentation says to concatenate the original PDF with the FDF generated when you submit the PDF form to your ASP processing script, so...that's what I did, using the ADODB.Stream server object.  The only thing I did with the FDF Toolkit was use it to save the FDF to a temporary file so I could read it back with ADODB.Stream.  I then wrote the PDF and the FDF back to the Response object and voila, I have my signed PDF, along with all the fields on the PDF form stored into a SQL database (except the signature.)
    For anyone thinking about storing the signature into the database, I suppose you could, but it's generally much easier to write a PDF to the disk and store a link to it in your database.

  • DNG files exported from LR4 not showing changes made when opened in PSE10?

    I have LR4, and once I make some develop changes I've been exporting the files I want to use as DNG.  I then open them in PSE10 to make final edits.  It's been working fine, actually I had an older version of Adobe Raw in my PSE on my other computer.  So when I opened in PSE it would ask if I wanted to conver to compatible version to edit in camera raw.  I always said no b/c I didn't need to do anymore raw edits.  Now that I have installed PSE on my new computer, it has the new ACR version I guess.  When I open the DNGs to edit now I no longer get this error message, but it's showing my contrast, etc. as a standard raw setting instead of the changes I made in LR.  Some are showing....like vibrance, but "recovery" which I know is "highlights" in LR, and other things are not showing correctly.  I know that the options are different, but I don't want to use the ACR settings that it's using when I open the file, or have to go through them again.  I'm sure there's something I'm missing but can't figure it out.  Thanks for any help!

    I quite simply did not comment on the issue of "it is supposed to be better to keep DNG files as opposed to NEF files now, right?"
    The issue you raised in your original post, and the issue of choosing DNG versus NEF, are completely separate and independent.
    The issue of transferring photos to PSE would cause the exact same problems in your case whether or not you use DNG or NEF.
    On the issue of converting photos from NEF to DNG, there are advantages and disadvantages, some people do and some people don't. If you'd like to know more, I suggest you search this forum, there are plenty of discussions on this topic.

  • Editable .pdf not showing edited text when uploaded to printer

    I created a form for company business cards so that employees could fill in their own info. Everyone has Reader, so i figured it would work. When I uploaded the filled-in form to various printing sites (I tried several), the text was gone. I feel like there's a simple solution, I just don't know what it is.

    I have run into this with something I am doing.  Vistaprint doesn't show the preview with the form data, nor does my iPad.  But Outlook (as a preview), Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and Staples Canada Print & Copy all DO show the preview with the form data.
    I am curious to see if Vistaprint would actually print with the form data or not, but instead I just switched to Staples for this need. For those needing Vista, I suggested a program like CuteFTP Writer which I have used in previous jobs for those without the full Adobe suite.

  • Acrobat reader defaulting to 51% zoom size when opening and printing Report

    We are publishing reports on a web-integrated acrobat reader. All the reports work fine except for 1 report. The problem with this particular report is that when it opens up in the acrobat reader, it's zoom size automatically defaults to 51%. Then when we print it in landscape mode, it prints with the same zoom-size settings. Even if we try printing after expanding the zoom size to 100%, it still prints to the smaller size and leaves nearly 40% of the paper blank. It works ok with client-server settings as well as when we use HTML or HTMLCSS format to print on the browser. We are using the run_report_object built-in to open the report which is a parameter report.
    Other reports with identical settings work and print fine. Is this a Oracle Reports problem or acrobat problem.
    We are using Forms 6.0.8.19.2, Reports v6.0.8.18.0, iAS v1.0.2.2.2a, Acrobat reader v5.0, IE 5.5 with SP2, Windows 2000 Server.
    Report fonts are Courier New with size 6.
    Any ideas/solutions aprreciated. Thanks!

    And so.. what is invalid?
    I've uploaded the pdf files as example:
    My generated pdf
    http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/before.pdf
    The modified version by Adobe Acrobat Reader:
    http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/after.pdf
    (I can generate a more complexe pdf file with fonts, images,... it will be displayed correctly, but Adobe always want to modifiy it).
    So perhaps I missed somthing into the pdf file format specification ?

  • Photo Gallery shows error message when opening and closes right after it

    Hi,
    I have Photo Gallery installed on my computer and my photos are in an external hard drive. At the beginning worked well. But today I tried opening Photo Gallery and it shows an error only giving you the option to click "Accept". After you accept
    the error, Photo Gallery closes.
    The error goes as follows:
    "One or more folders included in Photo Gallery is offline and is preventing Photo Gallery from starting.
    Either remove offline folders from Photo Gallery using Windows Explorer, or make sure that all folders are inline and try starting Photo Gallery again"
    Why did this happen and how can I fix this, I tried repairing and uninstall/reinstall Windows Essentials and it didn't work.
    Help please!, thanks!

    Hi,
    Consider Windows photo gallery is part of Windows Essentials, we have a better forum to seek help for problems related with that:

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.

  • Want insertion of Digital Signature not to require a save

    I have an issue that I would appreciate someone's help on. I have been with Adobe Tech Support via their portal. Yet I have not been able to establish whether what I want to accomplish is doable.
    What I have is a document that actually consists of several documents, which in aggregate comprises our application for persons wanting to drive for us. For the sake of this scenario please understand that the document is not to be broken up into multiple files. It is created as a single document to facilitate the management of the numerous applicants by in-house staff.
    Anyway - this form has multiple digital signatures. The department head insists on this as each section of this document has information to be attested to as original and accurate. However, we find that only the first digital signature is used to certify the document, and any additional serve only in a "confirming" capacity.
    So we have this document with multiple digital signatures, the first of which certifies the document and the remaining as "confirmation". And all of these digital signature fields are set as "required" in their properties. The form is developed and presented for testing. So we enter just one of the several digital signatures and attempt to save the file. What we expected to happen was the pop-up of a dialogue to point out that all of the required digital signature fields were not completed. But no such warning arises, and this circumstance "raises an eyebrow" or two within the firm, who expect this edit to appear.
    Based on recommendations from Adobe support I go out to the developers site and research scripting. After several hours I come away with a script that will indeed spawn a message when any digital signature is missing. However, another problem arises. After closing out the dialogue box and inserting the first of several missing digital signatures I am immediately required to save the file. The save works and here we have the form with several digital signatures still not signed. This allows the user to forward on the form to us, at which time the file will be reviewed and returned to the user for further completion. And in the event that only one of several missing signatures is entered, and the file again saved and forwarded, this scenario has the potential of being repeated several times.
    Is there any way through scripting for the insertion of the digital signature not to spawn a save of the document? Thanks!

    Is there any isight as to how this is done?
    I am currently opening a file from Teamcenter engineering, however if I try to save the file it complains there is another copy open elsewhere (which isn't true).  I have to export the file first, save it and then check it back in.  It seems to be the only area that behaves like this, as I am able to markup the document add pages,etc and save the document just fine.
    If I could remove the save as function and just use "Save" I think that this would help.
    Appreciate any/all replies!
    Regards,
    Sean.

  • Acrobat Standard 8 - why is the digital signature not responding?

    Using Acrobat version 8 and it is fully updated.
    When I try to insert a digital signature, it freezes and when I eventually close the digital signature window, it says it is not responding and the program shuts down.
    This is using a document that I use frequently and only recently started having problems with the digital signature.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I'd like to clarify some points. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature, not unlike how you use a pen to create (what we refer to as) a wet ink signature. When it comes to applying a digital signature to a document, you can sign just about any blob of electronic data. You can sign your e-mail or a MS Word document as well as a PDF file. The signature itself lives either in the document (that's how Acrobat does it when signing a PDF file), or it can be an external attachment (that's what the smime.p7s file is you might see attached to some e-mail messages).
    Here is where I'm a bit confused. How many digital IDs do you have access to? If you only have one, does it cause Acrobat to lock up when signing a specific PDF file or when you try to sign any PDF file? Same question if you have more than one digital ID available to sign with, they all cause Acrobat to lock you when signing just one specifc file or any file? When you try to sign, are you signing an existing signature field, or are you creating a signature on the fly, be it either visible or invisible? If it is just one file that is causing the problems then that file is probably corrupt. If it's any file then it is a more systemic problem and I don't have an off the shelf answer for you.

  • Digital Signature is shown as altered when nothing is modified

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the digital signature field. After signing the form and saving it, when I next open the form, there will be a icon (green tick + yellow !) indicating that the signature is valid but the document has been updated since signed.
    Problem is that nothing has been done to the form. To test the problem, I have created a form with just a text field and a document signature field.
    The problem only exists if I checked the 'lock fields after signing' option in the properties. As I need to ensure that no amendments are made after signing, I will need this option.
    Can anyone help or does anyone face the same problem?
    I am using Adobe Livecyle Designer and Adobe Professional 8.0.
    I used Adobe Reader 8.0 to sign the form and to reopen the form again after saving, and the problem will occur.
    Hope someone can assist. Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,
    Really appreciate your help in testing. Wonder if that is a bug in Reader 8. It works fine in my Acrobat Pro 8 too.
    However, as I cannot expect my users to have the Pro version, I am really stuck with the reader. Reader 9 has no 'yellow mark' problem, but I will need to manually validate the document every time it is opened.
    Can anyone help please? Or at least confirm if that is really a bug. =) Thanks.
    Regards
