Unable to digitally sign form

I created a form from a Word doc using Live Cycle Designer. I extended rights to Reader in Acrobat. I have a signature field set up, but when i click on the field and the digital signature selection pops open and i select sign, it does nothing. I do not get any error messages.
I tried to do a submit button, but that did not work either. It did give an error that "XML data signature creation failed".
What i want to do is have multiple people sign with visible signatures.
Thanks,
Brian

You guys (and by you guys, I mean the folks in charge of the forums) got rid of that option a long time ago.
You can only attach images now.

  • Unable to digitally sign or encrypt messages in Mail

    I recently switched from a PC to a Mac and I have been unable to digitally sign or encrypt any of my e-mails. I'm currently running version 3.3 (926.1/926) for Mail and I made sure that my .cer security certificate is located in Keychain Access as well as certificates for my contacts. My certificate is valid because it has the green checkmark next to it.
    I know what the *digitally sign* and encryption buttons should look like and where they should be located when composing e-mails, but they are just not there for me. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this. Does it matter which folder the .cer security certificates should be located in for Keychain Access? Or is there a specific option I need to enable within Mail to be able to see those buttons?
    I know that Mail is recognizing security certificates for e-mails that are being sent to me because it is showing the starburst/checkmark icon next to those e-mail addresses, and my Address Book is showing that same icon next to those e-mail addresses for my contacts.

    I finally have a solution to this problem. I had been trying to use a .cer security certificate issued by Comodo, it had worked just fine on Windows but my Mac didn't seem to like it. I also tried creating my own certificate through OSX, but even after I created it I still couldn't see the buttons.
    I had someone direct me to this webpage which ultimately helped me fix the problem:
    http://allforces.com/2007/03/02/email-security/
    I ended up using Thawte to issue me another security certificate (this time it was an x.509 file), the security certificate automatically opened in Keychain Access and downloaded to the Certificates and My Certificates folder. Once I shutdown Mail and restarted it I had the buttons for both encryption and digitally signed. Of course the encryption button is still greyed out because it is a new certificate and I need to make sure my Address Book contacts have a copy of it before I can encrypt.

  • Unable to digitally sign and save a PDF document

    I am currently using ADOBE ACROBAT 8.0 Professional (Ver 8.1.0).  I provide proofreading service for a client.  The client provides me with a PDF which I use the comment and mark up tool to indicate required changes.  Once all of the comments are complete, I mark the document approved or disapproved and attach a digital signature.
    Recently, many files that I have recieved from the client will not allow me to sign and save the PDF.  I can save the PDF without the signature but not when it is digitally signed.  The error reads:
    "The document could not be saved.   A number is out of range"
    I queried my client to find out if they have made any changes.  They have recently upgraded to Illustrator 4 and they create the PDF's for me from the Illustrator files they work from.  There are four teams using the same Illustrator program but not all of them are producing files that I cannot sign and save.
    Can anyone tell me what the error indicates?  Is there a property assigned to the document that I can not recognize that refers to this problem.
    Since the files I work on contain proprietary information, I prefer not to attach them to this forum.  If anyone is interested in helping, I will share a file to fully explain my problem.

    I will try that, thank you.

  • Unable to digitally sign

    I have a form created that multiple people go in and sign, but one person in particular always gets the message "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open.  Please......."  I know what that usually means but in this case there's no one in the file at the time.  I've even had everyone that has access to this file shut down Adobe completely in case it was locked by the program without the file being open.
    Anyone ever seen this before or know what to do to fix it?
    It will let him sign but never save!  He has the proper directory access, and was able to sign in the past.

    If the user copies the file to their local machine, are they able to sign and save the form?   If the order that your users sign the form is changed, can the user experiencing the problem sign the form?
    I don't believe this issue is related to the signatures, I think it's specific to the fact that the file is accessed from a shared drive, something seems to be keeping the file open.

  • Having problem with others digitally signing forms in reader

    I have created a document that needs a signature in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.  I was under the impression that anyone with Adobe Reader over 8.0 could fill out the form, and sign it.  However, users can fill out the form, but not sign it.  I am not that adobe savvi but I can follow directions pretty well! Please help!

    Hi,
    You need to Reader Enable the form in Acrobat Professional. After you have completed the form layout in Designer open the file in Acrobat. Then select the Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader menu item. It will ask you to Save a copy of the file. It will be that copy that you can sign in Reader.

  • Cannot digitally sign Windows Speech Recognition macros

    I have created five WSR macros, which I digitally signed after being asked to set up a digital signature.  When I reboot and try to create more macros I am unable to digitally sign them so I have to create them without a digital signature, and then they are ignored when I try to use them as the text I am saying is entered into WordPad instead of the text I want to enter, but the macros with digital signatures work correctly.
    I have also tried pinning WSR macros to the toolbar but when I click, double click, or right click the icon I am unable to open the WSR macros so have to go back to the Notification Area and click the icon there.

    Exactly the same problem for me

  • Check Form for Errors When Digitally Signing?

    Greetings,
    I am using LiveCycle Designer ES3.  The target version of my form is Adobe version 8. 
    My form is initially completed by a document generator, then forwarded to a reviewer.  The reviewer will then use the form to document his/her determinations (approved, disapproved, etc) of the material the document generator submitted for review.  Once the reviewer is done with his/her determinations, he/she digitally signs the document using the signature field created in LiveCycle.  Once the document is signed, it is locked down and unable to be edited further.
    Is it possible to have my form check for oustanding errors when the reviewer attempts to sign?  Also, is it possible to not allow the reviewer to sign if errors are present?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    To clarify, the document generator only fills out a few fields.  The reviewer completes the rest of the form, so the reviewer would be the one making the errors.

    How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
    We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information.  However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data  in the field which we have this edit.  Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting.  any idea how we can get around this issue?

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • Problems with digitally signed PDF FORM

    Hi everyone,
       I am having a situation as follows:
    I have a adobe form that is digitally signed. In Adobe 9 once it is signed, the two properties are set as -
    1)Document assembly not allowed
    2)Changing the document not allowed.
    By saving the pdf into .ps file and reopening it with Adobe pro, I was able to put some links from the text in PDF, using "LINK TOOL" button. But if I redo the links again, then comes the problem. And also, When I merge this pdf form with another the signatures are lost!!! Can anyone please help me and shed some light on this.
    Appreciate all your help.
    rgds,
    Suma.

    Hi Suma
    One thing to realize is one of the purposes of a digital signature is to provide proof of document integrity. With that in mind, although in Acrobat 8 and earlier you were allowed to make changes to the document, and thus invalidate the digital signature, beginning with version 9 we have disabled that functionality. If you need to edit the core PDF don't sign it. The signature should be applied after all of the document layout has been completed. You can fill in form fields and add comments and annotations post signing, but it makes no sense to modify the document structure when all it will do is invalidate the signature.

  • How to disable digital signing and saving of PDF form?

    I have a PDF form that I have created. It does not have a signature field becuase I need them to print and physically sign the form. However no matter what I do Adobe Reader offers the option to digitally sign the form (as well as save it). How do I disable this?? Thank you for the help in advance.

    Thank you for the answer and explanation.  Unfortunately I am still not sure the best solution.
    It is a business application for a city site. As a result the limit of 500 is obviously not going to work. Also for legal reasons they need the form physically signed.
    The original hope was to provide a PDF form that could be filled in (almost entirely) on the computer if desire and then printed, signed, and turned in to the city.
    What they don't want is for someone to fill it out on the computer, use the echosign and email it as they need the physical signature.
    Sounds like we might have to choose between:
    - not having it interactive (so they can just print it out and fill it out)
    Or
    - make it so they can fill it out on the computer, but include instructions that they need the print it out and physically sign it. And hope they follow the instructions.
    Again, thank you for the explanation. I think I will just have to let them decide.

  • Unable to sign forms

    I created several forms in acrobat X pro; however, several people are not able to sign the documents. The signature box is selected, but they cannot enter any text. I had them download the latest version of reader, but that is not helping. Appreciate your guidance.

    If you have placed digital signature form fields in your form and you want folks using the Reader to sign, then you'll also need to reader-enable the form (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF). This will only allow them to sign using certificate based signatures.

  • Infopath 2007 form minimizes after digitally signing to task bar

    For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.

  • How to digitally sign a form or PDF?

    We currently have a process in place that tracks all of our deliverables and notifies our government clients when we have invoiced them.  We email them a message to let them know an invoice is ready to be approved.  They login to our site via a browser, view the invoice, and approve or disapprove it.  If approved a PDF of the invoice is created via ColdFusion and is sent to them.
    There may be an upcoming requirement to have the client digitally sign the document.  This is where the fog begins.  How best to do this?  Assuming that each client will have a PKI ID (and that's a big assumption), how do they sign the document?  I know they can open the PDF and sign it, and then I can setup a ColdFusion-based form to allow them to upload it back to us, but is there any other way?

    We use RightSignature.com; it works great and our customers like it. DocuSign.com has been trying to get our business as well. The advantage of DocuSign over RightSignature is that everything can be signed without the user leaving our site whereas RightSignature sends the user an email with a link to sign and then sends us the final signed document. Since we're not using DocuSign, I'm not sure if there are other pros and cons.

  • Distributing Forms after they have been digitally signed.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Version 11.0.07
    I would be very grateful for help received in responding to my question. I have checked the messages, at length, but cannot find an appropriate answer/solution.
    This is my Company Policy document workflow.
    1.PDF created with form fields as well Digital Signature Fields.
    2. Document is sent to Reviewer1 for approval and Digital Signs. ( any edits are made to document prior to signing)
    3. Document is sent to Reviewer2 for approval and Digital Signs.
    4.Final reviewer Digital Signs.
    Now that the Policy has been approved by the Management Team, the Policy is ready for employees to read and complete the form fields
    - Name
    - "I have read and understood this document:Check box
    - email address
    When I go to Distribute forms via internal server I get the following message, "Acrobat is not able to create a usable response file from the returned form because the form restricts need operations"
    This allows me to ensure that a management approved policy has been published and we can collate the information as to who has read and not read the document.
    Many, many thanks for your assistance

    So you have something that looks like this, where there is a submit button somewhere on the page and some data you want to submit:
    If you get the Properties of the button, and then select the Actions tab you should see something like this:
    Then if you select Submit a form and then click the Edit button you should see something akin to this:
    Finally, make sure you click the Select fields button and only select fields that are going to contain data. In other words, no signature fields:
    That should work for you,

  • How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

    I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

    Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
    this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
    Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.
