How can my end user password-protect a document that has been digitally signed?

Hello,
I have seen some threads that indirectly address parts of this question, but am still left unsure about whether this process can be done - and if it can, I could use your help in understanding it - thank you.
Two of our end users use digital signatures (certificate-based) in Acrobat 9 Pro to sign documents attesting the accuracy & calibration status of lab equipment for use in a legal environment.  These end users are concerned that their documents could be altered or edited, and asked me if password protection can also be applied to their documents that need to be digitally signed.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Do you apply "Open" password or "Permissions" password or both? If you apply "Permissions" password (with or without the "Open" password) make sure that "Changes Allowed" include Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields" or "Commenting, filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields". If permissions do not allow you to sign, you cannot sign.
Be aware of the alert that Acrobat pops up when you apply "Permissions" password that all Adobe products respect permissions that you set but that 3rd-party PDF Viewers may not (and many do not).
That is exactly what I was missing! I apply only "Permissions" password, but had the "Changes Allowed" drop-down set incorrectly - it was set to "None."  After changing that setting to allow "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields," the end user was able to digitally sign the document, her desired goal.
Thank you so much.

  • How can i block an unwanted 12 digit number that has been constantly calling me?

    how can i block an unwanted 12 digit number that has been constantly calling me? The number is >Number deleted<
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

        Hi there irock2! I know how pesky those unwanted calls can become. Since the calls are not coming from a normal 10-digit American number, it may be someone international attempting to reach you. Our Usage Controls http://bit.ly/plz3pA feature offers the ability to block international calls, and even calls from private and restricted numbers. We also offer the option to change your number at no charge through My Verizon http://bit.ly/WJbRNG if you'd like.
    Thank you

  • Adobe 9: Can a PDF be modified that has been digitally signed?

    Is it possible to insert or remove pages from a PDF (in Adobe 9) after another user has already placed a digital signature in it? (This isn't a certified digital signature.) It appears that Adobe 9 does not allow a user to make modifications to a pdf that has been digitally signed while earlier versions did.

    Steve,
    To answer your question, yes, we do need that capability.
    Here is a synopsis of what we want to achieve:  after signatures take place, to replace specific documents with revised pages containing digital signatures.
    We have a temporary workaround in that we can print the PDF with digital signatures to another PDF; however, we lose the green checkmarks in the digital signatures when we do this.

  • How can I delete an alias of a file that has been deleted already?

    A couple of days ago I took a screen shot of my flight's itinerary for this summer vacations. Without noticing I created an alias of the file...I deleted the screen shot and now I just have the alias and i can not delete it nor dragg it anywhere .... it gives me the option to delete it or fix it but nothing of that works ... I tried to hold command and dragg it but it wont go anywhere and i also tried dragging it to the terminal but it wouldn't go there either...the file just won't go anywhere!!
    Help please!

    1. Consider using a Database.
    If this option is bit "too heavy"
    1. Using a BufferedReader read the whole line.
    2. Use StringTokenizer to split into tokens .
    You would get name and age.
    3. If thereare more attributes of person consider creating an Object to represent this person.
    class Person{
      private String name;
      private int age;
      Person( String name , int age ){
      public int getAge(){
       return this.age ;
    }4. Put these entries in Hashtable using name as key
    HashTable  h = new HashTable();
    // ... somewhere  later in code
      Person p = new Person( name , age );
      h.put( p.getName() , p ) ;
    // Somewhere later
      String name = "xyz" ; // or read from somewhere
    ((Person)h.get(name)).getAge();

  • How can I sync my iPad to hard drive that has been replaced. It was on the hard drive that crashed

    I had to replace my hard drive and having trouble syncing iTunes without losing content.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How can I make a password protected encrypted sparse image?

    How can I make a password protected encrypted sparse image?
    Doing what worked in 2006 does not produce password protection even though I have typed one in and re-entered it as requested. Clicking on the Disk image opens it without asking for the password.  I am stumped.   Many thanks.
    (OS 10.10.2 on 2010 MacPro)

    That did it. The Keychain box was automatically checked and I did not know enough to uncheck it. Many many thanks.
    Yeah, nobody does. They should put up a custom password save box when you make an encrypted disk image that explains what will happen if you store the password in the keychain. In the current "how-to" article, they mention it, though: How to create a password-protected (encrypted) disk image - Apple Support

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I unlock the copy protection of songs that I've acquired some years ago with an old - and non existing anymore - account? Can I link the songs to my new account or do I have to purchase them again?

    How can I unlock the copy protection of songs that I've acquired some years ago with an old - and non existing anymore - account? Can I link the songs to my new account or do I have to purchase them again?

    If you're in the US, you will be able to use iTunes Match for $25 a year to remove copy protection in a few months: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    If you're not, you can't.  You can authorise iTunes with the old account in addition to your current account, so all your songs will play, but I'm not sure what will happen if you try to sync them to an iPod.

  • How can I verify credit of an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    How can I verify credit for an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    Have you checked the account's purchase history to see if anything could have used up the balance : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
    If there aren't any purchases then try logging out and back into the account (e.g. on your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Stores and then log back in) and see if a balance then shows on it. My account's balance shows at the top right of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, by clicking on my name towards the top right of the iTunes screen, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iPad devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)
