Signing restricted for PDF

Hi. I recently received a PDF form for work in an email and I am required to sign it using my digital certificates, but when i click on the signature field it does absolutly nothing except for a quick flicker. I've tried using the same version of reader as the file was made as well as attempt to change the properties of the file to unrestricted. i does not give me the option to sign no matter what. all of the options for signatures are greyed out and i cant figure out what to do. please help?

Place signature is disabled? That means there is something about the document that makes it so it can't be modified. The permission for signing just means that there isn't something that forbids signing specifically. It could be the file has been made read-only in the file system, it could be reader enabled, certified, or have some security measure applied.
Since the file is already encrypted, you will probably have a hard time figuring out the problem, but try saving a copy using Advanced > PDF Optimizer. That may remove whatever is preventing the modification or report what the problem is.

Access restriction for PDF generated with Smartform

Hi there,
I am generating a PDF from a Smartform using convert_otf.
What I would like to do is, add restrictions for the generated document just like in Acrobat Professional.
For example:
Printing: yes/no
saving: yes/no
cut, copy paste: yes/no
Is there a way to pass this Parameters to the PDF?
Thanks in advance
Uli

I signed up for pdf to word conversion in December and paid a yearly subscription. Not working?

Today when I go to convert a pdf (haven't done one in a long while) it keeps sending me to the subscription page. I can't figure this out. What am I missing here. I should have several months left. Where is the account info?

I decided to put it away last night and start fresh this morning with a fresh mind, as I had logged in, loaded into the cloud, etc. as I was prompted to do at every new screen. This morning I took a new direction and I logged in at Adobe.com, found my account management info (which I couldn't figure out how to access last night). It appears that you don't have any services associated with my account at all, and that the version I was using was a free service? However I have a record of paying Adobe $29.95 on December 9th. What exactly did I pay for if I do not have any services in my account? Below is the transaction from my visa. Can you look into this for me, or should I go through the account management help service?

I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro. I logged in. I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial. I just get the request to sign up for a year. What good is the trial if I can't try it?

Hey vcomfort6,
Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
Hope to hear from you.

I signed up for a free trial. I want to convert a Word document to a PDF document. I've signed in and been through the process a dozen times. It doesn't work.

Hi kemtnilion,
What did you get a trial of? Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services; did you get a free trial of Acrobat, perhaps? If so, you can save a PDF directly to Word from Acrobat, by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Why can i not convert a form to PDF when I have an active account and it wants me to sign up for an upgrade?

Why can i not convert a form to PDF when I have an active account and it wants me to sign up for an upgrade? This just started!!!!!!!!

Hi EdAAK,
I've checked your account, and see no issues with your subscription. So, if you're using a web browser, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com. And, if you're using Reader, make sure that you're logged in—you should see your name listed in the upper-right corner. If not, click the Sign In link and then sign in with your user name and password.
Please let us know how it goes.

I want to convert a pdf to a word file and have paid twice to do it for 12 months - now I am told I have to pay again. This is not what I signed up for.

I have paid twice to adobe so I can convert pdf to word files and every time they tell me I have to pay $24 ? again. I can't reach anybody at the office or find out where I can get help.

You have to check with support. This is a user forum. Some of the folks may come by with the phone # or other contact. When you sign up for the conversion, you are using a subscription service that has a period associated with it, not a number of uses. It sounds like you are not using it enough to benefit from the subscription. I believe that is covered by the ExportPDF forum.

PDF docs deleted/cannot open after signing up for Adobe account

After I signed up for an Adobe account all the PDF docs in the Adobe app of my phone were cleared. They are still reflecting on my Download app but I cannot open them. Pls help.

Because you just signed up, you probably do not have any files on Acrobat.com ("cloud").
In the Reader home screen, could you tap Documents to see the files that are locally stored on your device (not on Acrobat.com)?

I just signed up for Adobe Standard $89 annually thinking I would be able to edit PDF files is this not the case?

if nothing at all has changed, make sure you are actually running Acrobat, not still running Reader. But if you hope for something like Word, it isn't. Editing PDF is a painful last resort.

Especially, be sure you are USING Acrobat. Many people keep using the free Adobe Reader, which isn't changed.

Hi howardw93055634,
Please tell me where you are seeing this error message. It's not one that I'm familiar with as being related to Acrobat or Reader. Is it coming from your online fax service, or does it appear when you try to open the PDF file that you received in Acrobat or Reader?

I've signed up for a subscription to acrobat pro and successfully download 2 days ago. Now when I try to open pdf it asks if I want to sign up again and will not allow me to open the document.

Hi Mbs@adobe,
It sounds to me like you're trying to open a PDF via one of the Acrobat online services, not via Acrobat. Did you install the file that you downloaded after you signed up? Once you do, Acrobat will be installed on your computer, and you can run it locally (you don't access an Acrobat Pro subscription via the web--it works just like a version of Acrobat that you might purchase from the Adobe Store, or a large retailer).
Then, you'll open the Acrobat application from your desktop and choose File > Open to open your PDF file.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Can I safely delete my Apple ID and sign up for a new account?

Can an official Apple administrator please shed some light on this for me?
I had previously asked if I could change my alias (which I did not choose, it was set by default for me) on my Apple ID account, but found out this was impossible. it's kind of driving me crazy, and I also hate the privacy concerns. on top of which, my subscription settings don't seem to work. I've set my preferences to subscribe me to topics i reply to or create and to email me immediately. I've tried to save my settings three times, but it never takes and i dont' get any emails.
So, my question is: Can I delete this account and set a new one up (which will hopefully fix things), without it messing anything else this account might be tied to in the Apple/.Mac world? (eg. my product registrations, e-newsletter subscriptions, etc.)?
Or should i just leave things be?
Thanks in advance!! (sorry for the long-winded question)

Hi Lillian!
I'm not official, but I'll try to "shed some light".
Although you can't change the Alias of the account you are using, you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing.
But your Posts(8), Points(0), Registered Date(9/28/05), and Level(0) will not be transferred.
In the new account, your Post Count, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old alias.
After you quit using the old account, those posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 1 to 3 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
The Topics that you started, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
If someone were to do a Search:
Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories?
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias/Name
all of your posts, since about 11/13/05, would be found.
To create a new account,
Log out of Discussions. You also may have to delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences, but I'm not sure this is necessary. Then follow either of these instructions.
-How Do I Create My Account?
If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.
-To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.
Those instructions, and more info, can also be viewed by clicking on ? Help & Terms of Use, in the right column of Discussions pages.
Good Luck!
