Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right

Acrobat 9 Standard is apparently able to apply certain usage rights to a document. I am trying to confirm whether or not the digital signature usage right is included. The
Acrobat 9 product comparison seems to indicate it is not, but the online help implies that it is.
Can someone with Acrobat 9 Standard confirm this for me by testing a document that you've enabled for use with Reader by attempting to sign a digital signature field with Reader?

In the office area, the Pro version might be good to have for the forms and other features. For the general library, Reader is probably adequate. Actually allowing PDF creation on public machines can be an issue. In a small libary system, Acrobat might be reasonable where you do not have to deal with a large, diverse population. However, for basic PDF creation, only Std is needed. Having both AA8 and AA9 on the same machine can lead to problems. However, if you remove one, you will likely have to repair the other.
The problem with older versions is that they may not properly read some of the newer PDFs that might be downloaded. For the latter, you could install the latest version of Reader, but you need to be aware that you may have to deal with issues of right clicking (windows) on a file and selecting which application to open a PDF with. For forms and some editing, the Pro version would be good to have. You also have PDF Optimize and PreFlight with the Pro version that generally are not including in the Std version.
To help compatibility with the files you create, you can select Start>Printers>Adobe PDF preferences (right click on printer). In the settings tab>Default settings> select at least Std or better Press or Print and then push edit. Under the general tab select the compatibility and set it to AA8 so that every thing is compatibile with the oldest version of Acrobat you have.
If you have more than one computer in the office, you might consider having AA8 on one and AA9 on the other. Do check and be sure you have licenses for whatever you have and that someone has not come in and installed a pirated version. Also be sure you keep the original CDs and licenses (or if they were downloaded, burn the downloaded version to a CD as an archive and write the SN on the label).
Now that I have confused you, are there more questions?

Acrobat Standard 8 - why is the digital signature not responding?

Using Acrobat version 8 and it is fully updated.
When I try to insert a digital signature, it freezes and when I eventually close the digital signature window, it says it is not responding and the program shuts down.
This is using a document that I use frequently and only recently started having problems with the digital signature.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thank you!

Hi,
I'd like to clarify some points. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature, not unlike how you use a pen to create (what we refer to as) a wet ink signature. When it comes to applying a digital signature to a document, you can sign just about any blob of electronic data. You can sign your e-mail or a MS Word document as well as a PDF file. The signature itself lives either in the document (that's how Acrobat does it when signing a PDF file), or it can be an external attachment (that's what the smime.p7s file is you might see attached to some e-mail messages).
Here is where I'm a bit confused. How many digital IDs do you have access to? If you only have one, does it cause Acrobat to lock up when signing a specific PDF file or when you try to sign any PDF file? Same question if you have more than one digital ID available to sign with, they all cause Acrobat to lock you when signing just one specifc file or any file? When you try to sign, are you signing an existing signature field, or are you creating a signature on the fly, be it either visible or invisible? If it is just one file that is causing the problems then that file is probably corrupt. If it's any file then it is a more systemic problem and I don't have an off the shelf answer for you.

Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
Good Luck!

Acrobat X Standard and forms containing digital sigs

Hi all,
My first post here.
In the office, we haveAdobe Acrobat X which we use to view and digitally sign PDF. I imported a word template form into Acrobat and made it interactive.
It's basically a form with some 30 questions and a series of tick boxes (Yes/No). This is a quality check form. If the person finds mistakes during QC process, he/she sends reqquests changes, a second QC is in place and a series of tick-boxes completed. Again, this has a series of checkboxes. I added two digital sigs. One for each user and in the properties section of the first QC (let's call it the originator) made all fields read only when first QC was entered. This worked fine. Second person is then able to enter their own comments no problem BUT when digitally signing they get a popup that the signing operation failed as document was modified in unauthorised manner since previous signature was applied. Chatted to IT and a few people who know a few things about PDF etc but none of them have an idea why this is ocurring. Cn anyone help. What am I doing wrong. Can Acrobat do what I am asking it?

Open the file
Open the Tools panel
Expand the Forms section on the Tools panel
Click the Edit button in the Forms section of the Tools panel
Right mouse click on the first signature field
Select Properties from the pop-up menu
On the Digital Signature Properties dialog, select the Signed tab
My guess is you have already selected the Mark as read-only radio button, but if not then select it\
Select Just These Fields from the drop-down menu next to the radio button
Click the Pick button
Select just the fields that you expect the QC originator to have selected
Click the OK button on the Field Selector dialog
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Click the Close Form Editing button in the Tasks panel
That should fix the problem.

Adding interactive buttons in Acrobat X Standard disables the Commenting and markup tools

Why does adding interactive buttons to PDFs in Acrobat X Standard disable the Commenting and markup tools in the PDFs, but only when they are viewed in the Reader, not when opened in Acrobat? When the buttons are removed, the Commenting and markup tools are re-enabled in Reader.
Thank you.

Which version of Reader are you testing with?

Hide the Save As dialog in the digital signature process

Hi!
I'm searching for a way to hide the Save As dialog when digitally signing a pdf document (embedded in a website) and instead transmit the signed document back to the website without saving it locally.
(The reason for doing this is, that I can not be sure whether the user is capable of storing the signed document locally, recover it and send it back to the server.)
In the "Adobe Acrobat SDK - Developing Plug-ins and Application" documentation under "Digital signature extended API", "Understanding the process" is stated that the digital signature plug-in displays the Save As dialog box. But it's not clear to me whether there is a way to suppress it and instead call some custom code to send the document to a webservice or something like that. (btw: I'm new to the acrobat sdk api)
Could someone be a bit more specific about this?
Are there other ways to achieve my aims?
(To use submit buttons inside the document is not an option.)
Thanks and kind regards
Marcel

Hi Leonard
I'll try to explain in more detail what I'd like to do. :)
Preconditions:
- I have no controle over the forms.
- I need to build a website hosting PDF documents for clients.
- The client needs to be able to access these docs and digitally sign them.
- When the client signs them, they should be stored on the website (overwrite the unsigned ones).
Problem:
The whole process should be as simple as possible for the client. Therefore he should not have to manually download the docs, sign them and manually upload them to the website.
Possible solution:
The client selects a document to sign which is then opened inside the website (aspx / custom control) by the Adobe Reader browser plug-in.
Now, when the client signs the document I would like to catch the "Save as" dialog and instead call some custom routine to send the signed document back to the website (webservice).
As I see it:
We would have to write a Reader plug-in that would be started when the browser-plugin is called and could be passed the address of the webservice (to send the signed PDF). Maybe the address passing could be done by javascript, but the handling of the "Save as" dialog would probably have to be handled by a custom plug-in.
My question:
Is there any way to accomplish the above (if yes, how?), or are these things that are just not possible (why? ;)?
I hope this helps to clear up things a little...
Thanks for any help!

Annotation field locked and subsequent digital signatures

Hi all,
i'm testing my PAdES digital signature library in Obj-C and i encountered this kind of PDF file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3995257/PDF/Locked.pdf
Acrobat Reader tells that the document is locked by a signature (Signature2). As far as i know locked means that the file can't be modified but is is impossible to append a digital signature too?
I tried to sign the document with my lib and as expected the second signature invalidates the first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3995257/PDF/Sign_Locked.pdf
But... i tried to sign for the third time the previous file. I would expect that the first (locked) signature would be invalid but the second and the third would be not.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3995257/PDF/Sign_Sign_Locked.pdf
Despite my expectations, only the last signature is avalid according to Acrobat Reader.
Does the first locked signatures invalidates the subsequents? Or more simply i can't sign a Document locked PDF?
Thanks

Yes, because the first is a lock – anything you do after the fact will invalidate.

Placement and appearance digital signature

I have a couple of questions about the placement and appearance of the digital signature.
First the placement:
Is it technically possible to place the digital signature after Word-fields when you convert Word to PDF/A? For example the { DOCPROPERTY "Name" }? Where the name is a custom field.
Appearance:
What I am trying to achieve is to get a digital signature appearance just like the one on an analog paper. Just the name, date and a picture of the analog signature (created by tablet, scan or mouse). Is it possible to get rid of the following:
Question/check mark?
The text "Digitally signed by"?
The line with the attributes from the certificate?
Thanks in advance!

Conversion of Word->PDF (PDF/A) is a specific application process (be it Acrobat or some other program). The visual appearance of the signature is defined by the application that you are using to sign the PDF.
This forum is for PDF file format discussions not application ones - so try the forum for the program (Acrobat?) you are using.
As a general answer - YES, you can put the signature anywhere on the page you want with whatever contents you want.

What is the certification authority, the third party that can confirm the digital signature?

I created a nice electronic signature, that I now regularly use and add to every document. I was told that a signature needs to be issued by a verification authority, a third party that is able to verify the signature, certificate. I created a free certificate at CAcert.org and tried to combine it with the adobe signature certificate file, but it doesnt support .cer and .crt files. Is the Adobe the certification authority in this case since i created signature in the Adobe software? Its not a big deal, I just want everything to be correct since I use the signature in official documents now (instead of scanning a signed document) ... Thanks for any info, ideas or help.

Each Digital Certificate has a pair of private and public keys used for encryption/decryption. The private key belongs to the certificate owner and should be kept secret. It is protected by a password. The public key can be used by anyone. Digital certificates come in two flavors: one that contains both private and public key and one that contains only public key.
When you create a digital signature the signing process uses the private key to encrypt the signed content digest and the public key is used to decrypt it. So, only you can encrypt signed content with your certificate that has both private and private keys and anyone can decrypt it to validate the signature using certificate that has only public key. Usually, this certificate with the public key only is embedded in the digital signature, so that anyone can use it for decryption.
The .cer certificate contains only public key. Certificates with both private and public keys usually have extensions .pfx or .p12. You need one of those to sign.
CAcert.org issues only public key certificates. so you cannot use its certificates for digital signing.
Adobe is not a general purpose certification authority. It issues some certificates for internal use only.
Acrobat has a feature that allows you to create so-called self-signed certificates with both private and public keys but these certificates can be used only in a limited way. They do not provide the means to authenticate the real certificate owner nor revoke a certificate if it is stolen.
Generally, a digital signature asserts three main features:
1. Document integrity (document has not been changes since it had been signed),
2. Authentication (the signer is indeed what the certificate says)
3. Non-repudiation (the signature author cannot deny that he signed it: this is achieved via certificate revocation mechanism).
A self-signed certificate (of the type that Acrobat produces) can be used only for #1. It cannot be used for ##2 and 3. The latter two come only when a certificate (with private key) is issued by a reputable Certificate Authority which is trusted (like VeriSign, Symantec, etc.).

Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right
