Non-accessible signature in Reader

I created a document in Adobe XI Pro using Word 2007. At that time, all the fields (including signatures) in the form worked fine. We have since upgraded to Windows 8 and now the signature boxes are not fillable in reader. I have recreated the form in Pro with no security issues and signatures can be inserted. As soon as I go into Adobe Reader XI, I can no longer complete the signature field.
Document Properties in Pro all come up as 'Allowed', but when pulling up the document in Reader, it indicates that Document Assembly, Page Extraction, and Signing are 'Not Allowed' even though the Security Method states "No Security".
How can I make the signature lines accessible for insertion of the electronic signature in Reader?
Thanks!

I found the resolution to this and thought I'd share. I had to extend the version of the original PDF file. Once that was done, I was able to sign in Reader.
Hope this helps everyone.

BIOS non accessible after installing W10 x86. Serious Issue.

Potentially a serious issue.
From a "cold boot" (following a previous shutdown command) the BIOS is non accessible. The actual clickable text of "Press F2 to enter set up" is missing. This means that no recovery of this PC exists such as booting from
a Windows disc or other bootable media.
Fortunately, providing you can boot into W10 and do a restart, then the BIOS options appear.
This means that if Windows didn't boot into Windows your PC could well become a brick.

I hope I can help you about. I've note a funny thing on my PC: I have installed Windows 10 on a spare HDD, clean install on new formatted disk, without any other HDD inside. Later I've "shut down", unplugged all cables and removed
from PC the Windows 10's HDD. I have then rebooted my PC on my usual HDD, it was telling me when pushing the power-on button "stepping out from hibernation". I've seen ~ this before in 7 and 8 installations (only). Not a BIOS/PC/HDD problem for sure.
Maybe you have already done that before, sorry if my message is giving too much details, but I wouldn't want that you break something down on the process :-)
Try to follow those steps in this order:
1 - Remove all the medias connected (USB keys, CD, external HDD etc.).
2 - Plug off the power cord, remove the battery, remove the HDD (usually is easily accessible from one side or from down-side of your laptop), wait for 4-5 minutes, then put in the battery (or the power cord) and try to power on your laptop
without any HDD, USB key or DVD.
Normally you should see the BIOS as usual, it will announce you that you have no boot media, or that there is an error and default settings were loaded. If so, power off, disconnect power source (cord and battery), plug in the HDD and
restart the computer. If it's again blocking your bios, return to step 2 for removing the HDD. You may consider to thoroughly cleaning your HDD (including the MBR, formatting will not clear everything out, rather delete the partitions, re-create them, re-format).
If 1 and 2 don't change the state of your BIOS, the error it's not connected with your HDD/OS installed. It just happened that starts just after you installing a new OS.

Non-Blocking call to read the Keyboard

does anyone know how to make a JAVA program make a non-blocking call to read the keyboard? eg. write a program which generates prime number until a keyboard key is pressed.

if you use a gui you can use keyListener
Would work only if your gui elements have focus right now.

Forest Root non-accessible\Child Domain still accessible. Can I recreate Forest Root and create Trust to current Child Domain?

Hi,
The 2 DCs for our Forest Root took a hit and are non-accessible, however the Child domain is still accessible. Can I recreate the Forest Root from scratch and Trust/Link to current Child Domain? So Im looking for my options to keep an accessible
Child Domain, but recreate a new Forest Root cause the current one is inaccessible.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Hi,
Would you please tell us that what do you mean by they
are non-accessible?
Are you able to log onto any of the two DCs in the forest root domain? If yes, we can use dcdiag.exe to analyze the state of the dc in the forest root domain.
If you have any system state backup of the DCs in the root domain, please restore the DC from backup.
Best Regards,
Erin

I would make the signature field read only until something is entered in the mandatory fields.

Mina,
You can use LiveCycle Designer's Action Builder to easily achieve this.
Please go through online documentation for the specific version of LiveCycle Designer that you are using.
It is intuitive and very easy to use Action Builder (You will find this option under Tools Menu item of Designer).

Bouton Ok de l'avertisseur de navigateur non accessible au clavier.

Bonjour,
Le bouton Ok de l'avertisseur de navigateur non reconnu, qui s'affiche à l'écran au lancement, n'est pas accessible au clavier.
Comment le retirer ou le rendre accessible ?
Merci de votre aide.

Bonjour,
Je n'avais pas vu votre réponse. Pardon de cette non réactivité.
Oui je parle bien de la popup qui apparait lorsque je lance le module sous Firefox.
Cette popup est inaccessible au clavier donc à partir du moment où elle se met en place, plus de possibilité d'aller plus loin.
Je cherche non pas à la supprimer car elle a un objectif de conseil mais je veux rendre le bouton atteignable et cliquable.
Je fais attention aux réponses maintenant.
Merci.

Need help making digital signature field read only if required fields are null

Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer, I have a digital signature field. I want to prevent users from being able to digitally sign the pdf if any required fields in the pdf are null or blank. I'm a newbie to scripting so any detailed help would be greatly appreciated. The required fields in the pdf include radio buttons, check boxes, text field, etc. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks

Exactly how you check a field for being empty depends on what type of field it is. For text fields, you should get the field's value as a string and compare it to an empty string, something like:
var val = getField("Text1").valueAsString;
if (val) {
app.alert("Field is not empty");
If there is a default value that needs to be changed, you would compare to the default value:
var f = getField("Text1");
var val = f.valueAsString;
if (val !== f.defaultValue) {
app.alert("Field value is OK");
For check boxes and radio buttons, you'd compare to the string "Off", which means none in the group is selected.
For dropdowns (combo boxes) and list boxes, there is normally one value selected, so you would have to get the value and check against the default value (or something else) to see if the field is properly filled in.
You could place the script there, but I usually use a separate button that I encourage the user to click in order to check the field. The problem with using the Will Save event is you can't prevent the save from happening.
The script can loop through all of the fields (and test all required ones), or you could set up an array of field names to check.

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.

Digital Signatures in Reader

I'm trying to update the security settings to a PDF I've converted from a Word document so that my users with Reader version 9 can not only fill in the data fields, digitally sign the document and save it. On the menu, I select, Advanced, Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader... This allows my users to fill in the form field and save the document but it does not allow them to digitally sign the document. When I go File, Properties, Security, my document shows the following below. Where in Acrobat 9 can I change restriction Signing to Allowed while still allowing my users the ability of Filling of form fields and Saving the document?
Regards,
Ian

First, some clarification - Using either "Enable" (Acrobat 8) or "Extend" (Acrobat 9) Adobe Reader 8.x or better can "place" a digital signature - so, a signature field does not have to be provided.
Looking at the screen shot you provided one document restriction shown is:
"Signing: Not Allowed *" - with this present, a user of Adobe Reader will not be able to "Sign".
Playing with Acrobat 8 & 9 to "enable"/"extend" I cannot duplicate a Document Restrictions Summary similar to the screen shot.
From "Extend" I get Changing the Document, Document Assembly, and Creation of Template Pages shown as Not Allowed. Signing is allowed.
As long as the PDF you send out has Sign: Not Allowed * there'll be no signing possible by users of Adobe Reader. Some how you are getting a restrictions set similar to one obtained via setting of Password security.
In a sort of Brownium Motion manner, some thoughts -
--| Compare the details of each step to what is discussed in Acrobat Help - anything different?
--| Check Help > About -- is the installed Acrobat fully updated to the latest dot release?
--| Try a "repair" (Help > Repair)
Be well...

How do I enable digital signatures in Reader?

I have created a form using Adobe Standard 9.2. It has a digital signature field and no security settings. The properties indicates that signing is allowed. However, if I open the form with Reader 9.2, the properties indicate that signing is not allowed. Using the Advanced menu, I then Extend Forms Fill-In and Save in Adobe Reader. The pop-up window indicates that digital signing will be allowed but when I open the form in Reader, didgital signing is still not allowed. Training from Linda.com appears to indicate that this should work. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the core of the issue is that Acrobat Standard edition only allows the user to add the form fill-in and save Reader extension. In order to add the digital signature Reader extension you would either need Acrobat Pro (or Pro Extended), or the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Enablement server. The bottom line is you cannot do what you are looking to do with the Standard edition.

Save as PDF, allow digital signatures in Reader

After saving the pdf from Pages, security permissions do not allow for digital signatures in Adobe Reader. How do I change this without having to use the full version of Adobe Acrobat?
...Bruce...

Hi Bruce,
Although you are creating the pdf from Pages, it's not Pages that is actually doing the conversion. Pages (and any other application for which pdf is not the 'native' file format) is using code that is part of the OS X package to convert the document to a pdf file.
If that code includes the capability of allowing digital signatures, Apple hasn't bothered to mention the fact in the Pages '09 User Guide. The only pdf option listed there for Export PDF is reduction of file size by resampling image files.
As the conversion is done with OS X bundled code, shared by all applications, you might find more useful answers in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion community.

Barry

Allowing digital signatures in Reader 7.0 (WIN)

I know I'm missing something simple, but can someone tell me how to get Designer 7.0 (WIN) to allow digital signatures in a form opened in Reader 7.0 (WIN)? I've tried everything I can find, including permissions, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks, Bob.

You have to run the form via Reader Extension Server.
Or the user have to use the Acrobat Standard/Prof. Edition.

Problems with digital signatures (adobe reader)

     I am a Government contractor that develops documents for my customer. We are in the process of ascertaining the viability of digital signatures. I have developed a signature form with Adobe Pro 9.0.
     I have several issues. When someone digitally signs the document with their Common Acess Card (CAC), the warning appears "At least one signature has problems. Please fill out the form. If you are the form author, choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to your recipients."
     I tried using several options using the distribute section, and I am unable to make this part work. I truly need assistance with doing this correctly. I require that the signatures to be processed in sequence (#1, #2, #3, and then the approval signature). I did not comprehend that option in the distribute form section.
     However, the recipients that use Adobe Acrobat Pro are able to sign the document when submitted to them (however, the prviously stated warning appears). If they use Adobe Reader, they are not able to sign the document.
     Please help.
     Is there anyone that can assist with the signature feature of Adobe Pro?
     I would appreciate any suggestion/guidance.
     One area that I don't understand is the feature where i 0send the form out for signature.

Digital Signature in Reader

I'm trying to design some fillable forms that some of our employees are required to sign. I see how I (as the designer) can sign the form using a digital signature. But can I setup my form to allow it during the form filling process with Reader? Any thoughts or advise is greatly appreciated.
My second thought and less secure is to put an image of their signature on the form, but I would need to pull dynamically from SQL. Not sure that is possible.
Thanks
Greg

"There is a 500 times use limit on the form, UNLESS you use LifeCycle Reader Extensions."
Can you explain this please. What are Lifecyle Reader Extensions"? How do I get more than 500? I have rights enabled so that users can save forms and use signatures. I have had NO luck with sending data files (as opposed to pdf) using a submit button. The data files won't open, my only options are xml which opens delimited--style data in a browser and xpd which opens a black screen in acrobat and says "data is not compatible or has been submitted via email". Pdfs send perfectly via email and also my clients know what pdf files are and understand them....data files will scare them...unless I can get it to work properly, which I have not been able to do.
I have been asking questions here for weeks and still have NO adequate answers or solutions.
I am using over 100 uses just to test the process with my clients. We have over 40 forms with submit buttons! That doesn't leave many users left.
Please, any tips on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks!
