Pdf fillable form - multiple digital signatures

I have a fillable pdf form that requires multiple digital signatures. Is there a way to send the form to multiple parties and merge it back to one form upon receipt of the signature from each party? Does that be accomplished with a javascript or do I need to use a different software? Thank you.

That's not how digital signatures work, so the answer is "no". When multiple people need to sign a document, they need to sign the same document in sequence.

  • Fillable forms with digital signatures on SharePoint

    We have a Document Set content type on SharePoint that contains some fillable PDF forms. Users are filling it out and adding digital signatures. Some users have Acrobat Pro and some have Readers. Once in a while users get the error "The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available." and the form becomes unusable. After reading some forums I learnt that it happens if there is a major change in a PDF file. My users are doing the following: check-out a file from SharePoint, fill some fields, digitally sign and check back in. Does this qualify a major change in a PDF file? Is there any way to fix it or should we simply stop using PDF files for this?

    Yes, you should use Acrobat to enable the forms. A form enabled with Forms Central doesn't include the digitial signature usage right, but one enabled with Acrobat Pro does.

  • Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

    I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required.  When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections.  The form is workflow through email after each user signs it.  Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
    How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
    Thank you,
    Lori

    Steve,
       After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo.  Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large.  Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
    Thank you for your help,
    Lori

  • Adding Signature in PDF Fillable form

    We will be creating Adobe PDF Fillable forms, and were looking for the staff to be able to add their signatures either as a jpeg or pdf file, is this possible and how do you do it, also will the field need to just be a text field or something else.
    Thanks for any help.

    PDF preview is not a editing mode...You need to switch back to the editing mode by selecting 'Body Pages' tab from Designer.

  • Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

    I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
    Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable.  I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
    One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK. 
    Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female.  If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

    Thanks for explaining that.  I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
    For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property?  I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
    Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
    As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
    This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there.  Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me.  If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
    I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature.  So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using.  So if I want to  make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
    I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
    Thanks for your continued help!

  • How to do Multiple digital signatures?

    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple digital signatures. This is an approval form that is emailed "up the chain of command".  I have enabled extended features in Adobe Reader so that users without Acrobat 9 can digitally sign the form.  I created the form and did a certified signature.  I then emailed it to a typical user who filled in the form and emailed it to her boss for a digital signature.  Her boss digitally signed it and emailed it to the CFO.  The CFO does not have Acrobat 9.  When she gets it, she gets the error message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."  How do I correct this?

    Steve,
    I wanted to test how cumbersome it would be to have the 2 staff members open with Adobe Reader instead of Creative Suite; however, I have not been able to find any option like "open with" in my outlook email.  Every time I try to open it defaults to my Acrobat 9 Pro to open the document.  Would the 2 staff members have to save the email and then use "open with" in order to by pass Creative Suite?
    Also I am not sure if you answered my question last time - Is it possible to just upgrade the Acrobat portion of Creative Suite or do you have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite just to get the newer Acrobat?  I will also be checking the upgrade link you sent.  Thanks.

  • How do I disable security settings on PDF fillable form?

    The PDF fillable form was made in Word and saved as a PDF. I tried copying it then bringing into Acrobat Pro X to make it a fillable form. Saved with Enabled Features but when opened into Reader I get a security warning restricting adding text or placing a signature. I've tried changing setting and can't figure out what is wrong or even if it's possible it fix this.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Kwiley

    It is "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and /or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out."  These forms need to be fillable because they change and then my client places her signature or her bosses signature on the page.  Is there another way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature
    Hi, I’ve a question if it works to digital sign interactive PDF documents created by an SAP BPM System? So is it possible just to sign the content, and not the interactive components like layout and buttons e.g.?

  • How do I NOT allow a PDF Fillable form I've created to be saved?

    I just got XI Pro ... I've never had a pro version before.  A co-worker who has used pro for ages (but has an older version) showed me how to make it so that a PDF filled form could be saved by another user.  However, in the version I have it seems that the ability for another user to save a PDF filled form is automatic ... I can't figure out how to shut it off.
    Our PDF fillable forms will be on our website, but we DO NOT WANT a user to be able to save the filled or the blank form.  Looking for a PRINT-ONLY option once it's been filled out. 
    Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks!

    This was recent;y discussed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211
    There was a major change made with Reader 11 that allows it to save filled-in forms, add all sorts of comments/markups, and some other things without the document needing to be Reader-enabled, unlike all previous versions. This is what you're noticing. So the best you can do is attempt to clear the fields when the document is saved and/or when it's opened.

  • Multiple Digital Signatures on single profile.

    Hello,
    I have a question. Can I create multiple digital signatures on a single system.
    If Yes, I can create digital signature of any "Signature required person"  and I can sign for him, If I have his email id and Organization name, correct?
    It means we can easily sign for any other person in the world. If so, how does this system mean to be safe ?
    Thanks

    Please repost this issue in Acrobat forum.This is reader forum.

  • How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?

    I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient.  How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information.  I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank.  What can I do?  Thank you for your help.

    Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

  • Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

    How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Sharon
    The easiest way is:
    - Open your PDF form within Acrobat
    - From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
    - From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
    The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
    If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

  • Can Word 2010 populate fillable fields in a pdf fillable form?

    Is it possible to define fillable fields in a word 2010 document (name, address, city, state, zip, date) so that after a save to pdf and [Page] add existing file, an existing pdf fillable form will auto-populate same named fields in the added pdf fillable form?

    Thanks, George!  In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with.  For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10.  I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization.  I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written.  Does that make sense?  Will this require JavaScript?  My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form.  Thanks again,
    Andy

  • I am unable to type in a text box on a PDF fillable form.

    I have previously had no problem typing in text boxes on PDF fillable forms in Firefox but now nothing appears when I try in to type the information in. I am not having this problem with the same PDF forms on either the Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers.

    Your system details list show shat you have two Adobe Reader plugins installed.
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.1
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.5"
    Uninstall them both and install the latest Adobe Reader version.
