How do I sign multiple fields in a pdf without saving untill the end?

I have Acrobat 9 and I am trying to put in 20-50 signature fields all to be signed by the same person in one to however many sittings. For every signature it prompts to "Save As". I work in the medical field so all our training is tied up in medical topics plus computers are not the favorite but needed medium. I need it to sign with only a quick prompt to agree to sign for each one then save to the same pdf or save as if decided after the person is done signing what they need for that day. After all signatures are signed a final ending one to lock all the rest would be nice. The signatures are replacing initials for training topics with the final being the "I have been training to proper levels and agree to the assessment" kind of statment. So this thing can't be signed in one day but multiple have to be signed in one sitting with some ease if anyone is to use it. I would real like to get this thing going if anyone can help.

I hate to say it, but adding 20-50 signatures to a document isn't efficient, and by that I mean Acrobat doesn't handle that many signatures efficiently. Part of the problem is Acrobat must verify each digital signature separately and it will end up slowing things down for you (and by slowing things down I mean effectively locking up the computer). Every time you add another signature Acrobat validates all of the previous signatures to ensure the document integrity for the signature being created. Also, every time the file is opened each signature would get verified.
That said, you could (and this is only a suggestion) author the file using checkboxs and then using one digital signtaure at the end of the process that locks the file so the checkboxes can't be changed

That depends on your scanning software. Adobe Reader doesn't scan.

Hi Proweld,
There are two ways to use ExportPDF subscription. Using Web Browser (http://exportpdf.acrobat.com) and another one is using Adobe Reader.
Kindly look into the below mentioend document, and let me know if that helps.

How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad?

How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad for safe store and possible reading and manipulation of some key files (word and Pdf)?

You first need an app, or apps, that are capable of reading/storing, and possibly editting them - without the app(s) there is nowhere to copy them to. As to how you then get the files onto the iPad depends upon the app(s) that you are using : iBooks (free app which can store/read PDFs) is via iTunes and the Books section of your computer's iTunes library. Other apps can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, some apps have wifi capability so that you can copy to/from them via your wifi network, and you may also be able to transfer email attachments into the app.

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

You're purchased music is not so much saved to the cloud, but rather indexed, since it is already in the cloud by virtue of being in the iTunes store.
If you want to check whether your purchases are being indexed or not, go to the purchased section on the main page of the iTunes store. There you will see a list of all your purchased items.

How do I move multiple fields from the end of the document to another section?

For some reason when I click Cntrl+V, it pastes the multiple fields at the end of my form rather than at the point of paste within the document.

Select all of the fields that you wish to copy then use Ctrl-C. Scroll to the part of the form where you want to paste the copied fields. Select the field that you want the paste to occur after (ie, the pasted fields will appear after/below the selected field) and use Ctrl-V.

How do I make multiple fields dependent on a checkbox?

I've got about 10 fields in an adobe form that I want to appear and be accessible if a checkbox is checked. If the checkbox isn't checked, then I don't want them accessible or visible. Is this possible?

Sure it is. The code can be made much simpler if you use hierarchical naming for the fields. For example, suppose all of the fields that you want to show/hide have a prefix of "group1.", (e.g., group1.name, group1.address, group1.state, etc.), then you can use the following code in the Mouse Up event of the check box:
// Get the value of this check box
var v = event.target.value;
// Show/Hide the group1 fields depending on the value of this check box
getField("group1").display = v === "Off" ? display.hidden : display.visible
It's often a good idea to reset the fields whenever they are hidden or shown, especially if the form data will be exported, so that the form data is consistent with the state of the form. If you want to do this, you could add this line to the beginning of the script:
// Reset the group1 fields
resetForm(["group1"]);
If you don't use such a naming system, the second line of code would have to be repeated for every field in the group, using the indivudual field names of course, and the resetForm statement would have to include multiple array elements for the names of the individual fields.

How do I retrieve multiple fields from SQL?

I am trying to retrieve multiple fields from a SQL table such as customer name, address and phone number by entering the customer # in my form either in a text field or a data drop down list. I can get the drop downlist to populate from the table, however the other fields do not coorespond to my selection. It appears that they are from the first record in the table regardless of which customer # I select from the drop down list. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1. On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi BH,
I see your diagram. I just scanned something. The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram. The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram. I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance. That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
Thanks,
Mark

How do you edit a field to either be HH:MM or the word 'All'

I have a form field where the user can either enter the time (HH:MM) in 24 hour format or the word All (case insensitive).
I have the HH:MM validation working fine, but don't see how to also add in the user to be able to enter the word 'All'.
Here's what I have:
<span id="theTime">
    <stripes:text name="filterSelectedProcessTime" id="filterSelectedProcessTime" maxlength="5" />
    <span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">invalid format: must be HH:MM or ALL</span>
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var datex = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("theTime", "time", {format:"HH:mm", isRequired:false, validateOn:["blur", "change"], useCharacterMasking:true});
</script>
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It's an internal app so I can't get you access thru our firewall.
Wish I could, but can't.
Thanks for all your help so far.
I can see all kind of uses for this in our forms, so its just curious why it matters where it's placed.
If I put the form JavaScript before the form, it doesn't even recognize the custom_validation and doesn't do any Spry processing.
Without the custom_validation function involved, it works fine.
Here's what I have in the form:
<
span id="theTime">
<stripes:text name="filterSelectedProcessTime" id="filterSelectedProcessTime" maxlength="5" />
<span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">invalid format: use HH:MM or ALL</span>
</span>
After the ending form tag, I have:
< script type="text/javascript">
function custom_validation(value, options) {var
theLength = value.length;
if(/^all$/i.test(value)) {return true
}else if
(theLength != 5) {return false
}else
{return
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.ValidationDescriptors.time.validation(value, options);
var
datex = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("theTime", "custom", {format:"HH:mm", isRequired:true, validateOn:["blur", "change"], validation: custom_validation});
</ script>

How Do I Sign, Seal, and Protect a .pdf from Tampering?

Saturday, August 8, 2009
11:46 AM -0800
Hello Everyone.
I originally posted this question in the Mac OS Adobe Acrobat Pro section; the folks over there had no idea what to tell me. Neither did Acrobat telephone support. They told me to take my post over to the Windows side. "They might know the answer there."
I'm a physician in the position of writing notes that may be introduced into evidence later.
I know there are electronic signature signature solutions for Acrobat, analogous to PGP or VeriSign for emails which prove:
1. I wrote it.
2. It hasn't been tampered with since it was written.
3. It was written on this date at that time.
Period
Are these signature solutions platform specific? Are they Windows-only. It seems to me that a third party makes them.
Also, is it possible to keep a running journal and sign & seal each day's entry? Or does each day require a separate document? Will I end up with 20-30 separate signed .pdf documents at the end of this?
Thanks to all in advance.

Signatures are platform agnostic. You need a digital signature. For court, I'd get a digital signature that proves that you are you. You cannot keep signing new versions of the pdf, since the signatures will invalidate the previous signatures.
Agnostic, huh? They do their work, but aren't sure the Great Computer exists. (I'm trying to get a laugh out of my current situation.) I spent two years in pre-theology at U.C. Santa Barbara before doing a 180 into the hard sciences. Over 30 years ago.
Who makes the signature you specify and others? How do they work? How many devaluing dollars? If you are an Adobe employee, I guess you can't answer that question on the forum. I'm new to the forum. I don't know if one can send me this answer by email unless I have my email posted for spammers to harvest.
Can you give me some pointers? I'm not being lazy, I just don't have time to do much except work like hell, sleep and eat at the moment.
Also, can the 20-30 individually signed documents eventually be put together by Adobe Acrobat Pro into a collection or porfoilo of some kind? Or would the individual documents need to be kept in a PGP pseudo vault for security and handed over as individual files? I'm guessing that the signature solution you propose involves a notary public somewhere in the process of activation.
Thanks.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf file using the PIXMA MG7520 on Windows 8.0? Please help!

I recently received a PIXMA MG7520 for a gift. It works great with my lenovo laptop/tablet running on Windos 8.0. The one drawback to the HP all-in-one that it replaced is it does not have an ADF. That being said, there must be some way to scan multiple pages into one pdf file. I need help figuring thing out. Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi mdtolbert54,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF document. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned items are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
Once the items above are set for document scanning, in the future, you will only need to launch the IJ Scan Utility, then press the DOCUMENT button to perform the scan (unless you want to make changes to the settings).
Hope this helps!

How can I expand text fields in my PDF file which I built in Forms Central?

I'm working in Windows 7 and just created my first form in Forms Central. I have many text fields that I intended for the end user to be able to type as much information in them as necessary. I selected the "multiple lines of text" setting for each of these fields. I was told by someone at Adobe a while back when I was trying to decide on learning LiveCycle Designer or using the much more user-friendly Forms Central that the form fields would not automatically expand in the PDF form, but that I would be able to click or drag on the fields manually to expand them so that, ultimately, they could be printed with all the comments, for however many pages it would take. I've exported my Forms Central form to a PDF file. However, when I type multiple lines of text in the form fields I set up to be "unlimited," I cannot get the form fields to expand. What have I done wrong? Help, please!

We are dealing with a similar situation. We have downloaded LiveCycle and created the form, but as we knew would happen, the changes that come for the content of the form are causing us to max our trial version, and as soon as the form needs a change outside of the trial time period, we are faced with the next dilemma, as Adobe doesn't offer to purchase a single license at a reasonable rate. The only reason we wanted LiveCycle was for the dynamic field feature. I plead with you to consider offering that feature in Forms Central. The other issue that we are having is that our users sometimes need to paste a table into the expandable text field. Is that even possible in Live Cycle? We don't at this point need the web-based functioning that Live Cycle offers. Thank you.
