Acrobat Crashes when signing a document

I have Acrobat 8.1.7 professional and all of a sudden I am unable to digitally sign documents. When I attempt to sign a document, the "sign document" dialog box opens, freezes and the acrobat closes down. Can someone assist me with this issue? Windows XP SP3.

The only  plug-ins installed are the default ones that came installed with Acrobat.  All of these are developed by Adobe, so i'm assuming your are not referring to these as "3rd party".  All custom plug-ins have been uninstalled with the exception of the Stamper sample to test this theory.  Quite literally this can be reproduced by adding  the following code to the "ToolActivate" method in StamperUI.cpp.  This is the method that is wired into both the MenuItem and Button click events by default in this sample.  When this code is executed by a MenuItem event, no issue at all.  When this code is executed by a button click event, an exception is thrown from Acrobat.exe.  Note that the exception is not thrown from the ToolActivate method, it is thrown at some point after this method completes.
AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
if (avDoc != NULL)
AVDocClose(avDoc, true);
As you can see, no objects are being acquired in this code.  If AVDocClose is not executed, no issues at all.  Although that goes against what i am attempting to do (as a result of a Button click, i need to be able to close the AVDoc).
Any thoughts as to root cause of this issue?
Karl, i really appriciate your assistance!  Thanks.

  • Acrobat crashes when closing a document.

    I have developed a simple Acrobat Addin, which adds a menu item and a toolbar button. The active document will be closed when this menu item or toolbar button is clicked.The document is closed using the function "AVDocClose".
    Acrobat crashes when AVDocClose is invoked from toolbar button and works fine when invoked from menu item. This happens only when "Show each document in its own window" is checked and in the version 8.0 Professional. Works fine in 7.0. The crash has occured in Acrobat.dll.
    Is this crash a known Acrobat issue in 8.0?
    OS : Windows XP

    Tried updating to current version and Acrobat crashed completely.  Restored to 10.0.1.

    Yes it is up to date.
    I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

  • Asking for password when signing a document

    In Acrobat 9 standard, when signing a document with a Windows Digital Signature, how do you set it to ask for a password?

    The product acts for a password when it can't identify and verify the signer is supposed to have access to the signing certificate's private key. You can't control what happens on the signer's end in all cases. If you want to set restrictions on specific fields, look up "seed values" in the Dig Sig Guide.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Recieving error when signing a document

    When signing a document, users are receiving >>Timestamp signature property generation error: Unsupported transport protocol
    Time Stamp Server is configued as Server URL:  IP Address of Time Server
    Any ideas on how to resolve this error?

    Hi,
    The problem is probably the URL for the timestamp server is an SSL address (i.e. https://) and the certificate that the OS needs to validate the SSL connection is not available. One thing to try is to copy the address for the timestamp server and paste it into a browser. This may give you the option of installing the SSL certificate.

  • InDesign cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents

    ID cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents, not when open dialog appears, but after I choose file and it "starts" opening it. (core duo, xp, clean install, all updates)
    If i open ID by opening file, it crashes with standard windows dialog, if I open ID first, it does not crash, but rather behaves strangely, nothing is opening, if I move a mouse it turns to sand clock.
    Same thing happens on all machines with ID cs3 in my office.
    All other apps works fine. I did read every single forum about ID crashing and nothing helps. Files resaved in interchange format opens well. There must be something in the files that ID cs2 did and what id cs3 cannot open :( Any ideas?

    1. Is there any reason to use eps? Avoid it use AI, PSD or PDF instead.
    2. Are all used fonts ok? What kind of fonts du you use?
    3. Which Mac OS X do you use?
    Does it crash with alwayst the same files?
    What does the file history tell you? Hold down the command key and got to InDesign > About InDesign… Does it tell you somewhat more specific, like missing plugins, severly damaged files and restored files, when (in which version) the files have been created first (helps often to export to IDML and open this again and save it as INDD and work with the new file.), has the problematic file been converted from another application (Quark Xpress or PageMaker), etc.

  • Avoid Save As dialog when Signing a document in Acrobat?

    I'm working on a web application that allows users to download a PDF, sign it, and then upload it back to the server. I'm trying to minimize the number of steps required of the user, so I would like to by-pass the Save As dialog that is presented when a user signs a document in Acrobat.  Is there a way to do this?
    Basically, I would like the signed document to be saved *automatically* in one of the following ways:
    1. Automatically overwrite the original document
    2. Save to the same location as the original document, but with a different name (e.g., [original_name]_Signed.pdf)
    3. Save to a subdirectory of the original document's location (e.g., in a "Signed" folder)
    Is this possible using JavaScript or a custom plug-in? Or in a simpler way?

    Okay, let's say I chose to do an HTTP POST of the signed PDF content from the Acrobat browser plug-in to the server -- how would I accomplish that?  Would it require JavaScript in the PDF to make it happen?  Or is there a way to instruct the Acrobat browser plug-in to do it without any custom coding?
    Thanks for your replies, Irosenth.

  • Is there a way to prevent Adobe from crashing when ocring multiple documents?

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.  I am trying to OCR multiple documents, Adobe crashes when it hits a document that cannot be OCR'd. How can I prevent Adobe from crashing and to skip that document and continue the OCR'ing process with the next document in the list?

  • Acrobat Crashes when converting PDF to .png

    I've been having a problem for a while now. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Pro and when I try to convert PDF to .png, acrobat crashes. It doesnt let me do it and I´ve been trying with different documents. Anyone with the same problem? It would help me a lot if you have a solution. Thanks

    Hey,
    You might try reducing the size of the PDF file and then convert to .png.
    Also, please check for updates for Acrobat 8 and try repairing.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

    When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first.   Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
    Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf.   They fill it in and sign it.  The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf.   I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

    AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

  • Acrobat crashes when extracting pages

    Version Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12
    When extracting and emailing pages from a pdf multiple times, Acrobat crashes.  Here is the process:
    1. Open pdf
    2. Tools -> Pages -> Extract
    3. Select any number of pages -> delete after extracting -> Yes at prompt
    4. In the extracted page(s) pdf, Share -> Send Files -> Attach to Email -> Attach
    5. Default email app opens -> Send email
    6. Close extracted page(s) pdf without saving.
    7. Go back to original pdf
    8. Try to repeat steps 1-6.
    The Acrobat crashes every time at step 4 on the 2nd extraction and email.  As soon as the share button is pressed (or using File -> Attach to Email), Acrobat crashes with the below error code.
    I have tried multiple different pdfs from different sources (i.e. downloaded from the web, scanned from a printer, generated from a word doc, etc.) as well updating Acrobat, uninstalling and re-installing (using the cleaner tool in between) and repairing install.  The issue happens on multiple machines, all running Win 7 Pro, and there are no add ins installed.

  • Acrobat crashes when using the Instance Manager

    I am using Designer 7.0/Acrobat 7.0.1 on Win XP SP 2 (and tested on two other machines with the same config), and also Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Acrobat 7.0.1.
    The crash occurs when my script tries to hide a subform, but only when the script is called from a Drop-Down List. I have mocked up a brand new PDF and the problem is still there:
    http://members.optusnet.com.au/machelp/crash.pdf
    If you click the Show/Hide Subform buttons it works fine. If you choose an item from the List Box it shows the subform correctly, and then choose one of the 'Other Mag' items and it hides the subform correctly. Do the same process with the Drop-Down List and it is guaranteed to crash when you choose an 'Other Mag' item (which should hide the subform). The Mac has no problem with crashing at all!
    The crash message (that appears after the 'Send feedback to Microsoft' message is 'The instruction at "0x2d864aa2" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read". Click on "OK" to terminate the program.' This exact error happens on all PC's that I tested on, in Acrobat Pro or Reader.
    Can someone please help me identify if this is a bug in Acrobat or is there something I'm not doing right?
    Many thanks in advance, Mike.
    PS. Also Designer crashes
    i a lot
    when laying out forms. Does this happen to anyone else?

    I would send this to Adobe Support.
