Acrobat & MS Outlook & signatures

When I generate a new e-mail message from Acrobat with the PDF file as an attachment it creates the Outllok message without incident, but it does not include my default Outlook signature.
Does anyone know how to set up Acrobat or Outlook so it uses my "signature"?
Thanks!

How do I post a form in PDF format, which will be any form? I have posted the "form" in jpg (below) because I see how to post an IMAGE by using the camera icon above.
In fact, I am having this problem “placing signatures” in ALL my Adobe forms. Anything I save as a PDF file, where in Adobe Reader ver.11 I can sign the exact same document by “placing a signature” I cannot do so in Acrobat. For example, if I type a MS Word letter (like the posted image here) that I want to send to another person, but I do not what them to have the ability to modify it, I will save the letter as a PDF file. Then, when it is a PDf file format, I will sign the letter by placing a signature, because of the convenient “placing signature” function available in Adobe Reader ver.11. If I wanted to sign the letter in MS Word BEFORE I saved it as a PDF document I would have to do an ‘Insert of a picture of my signature’, which is also easy but not as easy and convenient as placing a signature in Reader 11.
This problem began when I downloaded Acrobat 11 as a trial. Now, suddenly, I cannot do this simple “placing a signature function but instead I get the digital nonsense. I have to close the file, and re-open it is Reader 11 to placing a signature.
No No, Something is amiss (malfunctioning). It is not regular, normal functioning that I am experiencing here.

Pdf form: attaching Outlook signatures

When using a submit button on a form, the pdf is attached to an email, with automated text in the email "The attached file contains data that was..."
This replaces the automatic email signature I have set in my email application. (it should have appeared automatically)
How do I get the signature to appear as well as/instead of this text automatically?
I need this on there to prompt applicants of my pdf form to insert there Outlook signature.
Thanks in advance,
Olgun

Thanks, Mike.
Its strange because it does allow the following text (below) to go into the body of the email. Do you think it could work with some java/other type scripting?
"The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details."

Acrobat XI Outlook 2013 add-on crashes Outlook

Acrobat XI Outlook 2013 add-on crashes Outlook each time I try to convert an email to PDF,
I did not see a relevant answer to this specific problem in the forums.
Of course I can print an email to acrobat PDF but I believe a fix or an update from Adobe is overdue.
I had to disable the add-on in the meantime.
Otherwise PDF maker in the right click context menu works fine.
Windows 7 64 bit, Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.5
Anybody has an idea ?

Have you tried the following?
Launch Office 2013 as Administrator, i.e. right click on Office icon and select 'Run as Administrator'.
or
Try creating a new user account on Windows to see if the same issue occurs.

Setting Default Outlook Signature By Group Policy

Hi
I am attempting to standardise our company's email signature for all users. A contact supplied me with a VBA script which generates a signature based on the user's AD information. This works great but I would like group policy to set this signature as default
to prevent users from making changes. From various Google searches, it seems that the default signature can be set by GP, but I can't seem to make sense of any of the posts that I find. This may be because I am new to GP and don't understand the context. Any
suggestions as to what would be the best way to approach this?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve_Flynn,
According to your description, you would like to set default Outlook signature using group policy. Right?
Based on my knowledge, the signature file is located in the path %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft \Signatures on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. And then we need to configure the related registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\MailSettings or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\MailSettings.For more information, please refer to the following article:
How to deploy a default email signature in Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2691977/en-us
We can deploy the signature file and configure the registry key via Group Policy to resolve the issue. For your information, please refer to the following article to learn more:

I cannot email attachment directly from Acrobat to Outlook 2013.

I get the message "there is no default mail client" But outlook is correctly set as default. can email from other apps, just not acrobat. I have differnt computers with different systems and each cannot email to outlook.
Using Acrobat 11 Standard to Outlook 2013 64bit under Win 8.1 Pro 64bit and Acrobat 9 to Outlook 2013 64bit under Win 7 Pro 64bit. Also, Acrobat 11 to Outlook 2013 64 bit under Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The common element is Outlook 2013, but Microsoft Tech says it is a Adobe issue since other apps work. Was using Acrobat 9 to Outlook 2003 32bit under Win XP 32bit.
Is there an issue with 32 bit Acrobat to 64bit Outlook 2013?

Yes. I discovered that. So I upgraded Acrobat to v11.0.5 on that computer. I have 2 computers in my network, both run Win 7 Pro 64bit; Acrobat 11.0.5; Outlook 2013 64bit. Each computer will not email, returned the message "there is no default mail client". (Each computer has a separate license for Acrobat, Outlook 2013)
Edited the registry in 1 computer, it worked. This computer was running Acrobat 11.0.0 at the time of the registry edit. Acrobat upgraded automatically to v11.0.5 it corrupted the registry files, Outlook would not open until it rejected the Acrobat Add-in "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin". This happened in both computers. I then edited the registry in the other computer and it worked.
Each computer boots up to "there is no default mail client" pop up. Ran repair in both Acrobat and Outlook, didn't work. No issue other than the Addins corrupts Outlook 2013. Each computer has the same issue. Home computer with Win 8 Pro 64bit, Acrobat 11.0.5, Outlook 2013 64bit, with Addins and registry edit, is working fine.
The issue seems to be 32bit Acrobat conflicts with 64bit Outlook 2013. What does the Addin do?

Outlook signature and SAP

Hi, everyone-
I just installed the Outlook Integration. When emailing a document out of SAP, I would like each user's Outlook signature to show in the email, just as it does when emailing directly out of SAP. I saw an earlier post that mentions changing the signature in the SBO mailer, but this appears to be only for the company signature, not each individual user.
Is there a way to add each user's signature based on their login?
Thanks,
Shelby

Hi Shelby,
As far as I know, this is not currently supported by OI. You may posted on the following forum to be candidate for next version development:

It worked under ios6

Unrecognized Lync contact opens when sip address added in the outlook signature block

I have added my sip address into my outlook signature block. Why does an inactive contact conversation opens, if I click on the link in the signature? It looks, like my profile in Lync, with the same picture and name, but the presence cannot be recognized,
thus a Lync message cannot be sent.

Hi,
Which Lync 2010 command-line parameter did you added in the signature block?
If you want to open the IM conversation windows of you when others clicking the signature, you can use the following command-line parameter:
Sip:[email protected]
Sips:[email protected]
Im:<sip:[email protected]>
More details:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398376(v=ocs.14).aspx
If you enter the correct command-line, however the issue persists, please try to delete your Lync user profile with the following path and then test the issue again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]

Outlook signature appears vertically on iphone

When I use my Outlook signature (just plain text) it appears vertically when opened on an i phone as a big long string of text. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures, you will find for each signature, there are three type of files: .html, .rtf, .txt.
So the signature format is decided by your email format.
If you want your signature to be in html, make sure you are editing the signature in html.

PDFMaker never completes - Acrobat 9 & Outlook 2003

Windows 7 x64
Outlook 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
When I try to convert the selected message to PDF I am asked where to save the file then the conversion activity window pops up. But the conversion never begins and the window just stays up forever. When I click cancel I am asked if I really want to cancel PDFMaker.
PDFMaker works correctly in the other Office components (Word, Excel, etc.) just not in Outlook.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Greg

It appears that this update will break the convert function in MS Outlook (XP,2003 and 2007)

Acrobat XI Outlook 2013 plug-in problems

I have Outlook 2013 installed on my computer and just downloaded Acrobat XI. According to some web searches, I should get an Adobe PDF pull-down tab inside Outlook, but there is nothing there. When I go to Outlook Options/Add-Ins the PDFMaker plug-in is shown as inactive. When I try to make it active I get this error message:
"Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in"
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Is this 64-bit Outlook? If so, this solution (post #30) may help: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5620222#5620222

Upgraded to Acrobat X and signature field stop working

Upgraded to Acrobat X and IntegriSign signature field stop working. When I open the pdf and click on the signature field I get a "This plug-in is intended for validating signatures signed using earlier versions of Acrobat. To sign using this version of Acrobat, use "IntegriSign for Acrobat 9.0 and later" handler.
Under Perferences in Acrobat, 9.0 and later is checked.
In LiveCycle Designer - IntegriSign is indicated for Signature handler.
Can't figure out how to solve this. I have uninstalled, reset IntegriSign and Adobe settings a trillion times!
Please help!

I tried these steps several times. Kinda long:
Here are the steps to setup ePad signatures with Adobe Acrobat 9 and later:
>
> You will need to create a self signed certificate (id) and have IntegriSign select this to be used with Acrobat. Here are the instructions:
>
> 1. In Adobe Acrobat choose Advanced > Security Settings.
>
> 2. Select Digital IDs on the left, and then click the Add ID button.
>
> 3. Select Create a Self-Signed Digital ID for Use with Acrobat, and click Next.
>
> 4. Specify Windows Certificate Store, to store the digital ID, and click next.
>
> 5. Type your name, email address, and other personal information for your digital ID. When you certify or sign a document, the name appears in the Signatures panel and in the signature field.
>
> If the computer is for public signing, you can replace your name with the name of the PC. It is not practical to have a digital id for every person that signs. IntegriSign will still ask for the signers name and signature.
>
> 6. Go to Windows start => all programs => IntegriSignDesktop => Desktop => Desktop Configuration => Select button (under certificate selection in the lower right of the window). At this time, you should see the digital id you just created.
>
> 7. Choose the certificate you just created, and click the OK button.
>
> 8. Go to Adobe Acrobat ->Edit -> Preferences -> Security, click on the Advanced button and make sure IntegriSign for acrobat 9 and later is selected as the default in the Creation. Also make sure the Verification is set to default method and the method is IntegriSign for Acrobat 9 and later.
>
> If IntegriSign is not an option then go under Edit/Preferences-->General (not Security) find the "Application Startup" checkbox 'Use only certified plug-in' CHECKED. Uncheck the box and repeat the first procedure.
>
> 9. Now, open a PDF file, and perform the signature using ePad, and should be able to sign.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro SIGNATURES

My subject: Employee Onboarding
My short-term goal: To allow user to save his or her signature securely, when they access the form with Adobe Reader, so that they can access it for future use.
My long-term goal: To set up an employee onboarding access page on our agency's website to allow employees to complete forms via a secure online portal and sign their document electronically. (For now, I will have the employee use a laptop for completion of the form.)
My current setup: I have an extensive Adobe Acrobat XI Pro form set up. Users can click in the signature field and opt to create a new ID or use an existing signature.
My problem: I am unsure of where I should have employees save his or her signatures. Should they be stored securely on my server, or should they be stored in the cloud?

Hi,
Just so we are on the same page, you are not talking about "signatures" but rather about digital IDs. You use the digital ID to create a digital signature in the electronic world just as you use a pen to create a wet ink signature in the paper world.
When it comes to storing a digital ID there are four options; you can store it in a password protected file (e.g. a PFX or P12 file), you can store it on a hardware device (e.g. a smart card or token), you can let the computer's operating system manage the digital ID (e.g. Mac Keychain Access or Windows Certificate Store), or it can reside on a roaming credential server. There are pros and cons with all three options, but as with everything in computer management you need to balance ease against both security and cost.
The cheapest and simplest is probably to let everyone save their digital ID in a password protected file. The next question is where do you save the file. You could save the file on a flash drive and let people take it with them from computer to computer. The downside to this approach is people tend to lose their flash drives. You could also store the file on a network location that everyone has access to, but here the problem is what happens if the network is down. And of course in all cases with the digital ID saved in a password protected file is people tens to forget their password.
Putting the digital ID into the operating system eliminates the forgotten password problem, but now the digital ID is only available from one computer. The concept here is if you can log in and get to your desktop then you are who you say you are and the OS gives you access to the digital ID. Your log in is in essence the password to the file.
Using a hardware device is know as two factor authentication as you have to have the device and know the PIN. This is different from just putting the PFX file on a flash drive because with a secured hardware device the the device itself has protection software on it and the private key (which is what you sign with) never can leave the device. The signature is actually created on the device and sent back to Acrobat.
Finally, using a roaming credential server is akin to cloud signing. Like with the secured hardware device, the private key never leaves the server and as long as you have Internet access you can sign from anywhere (hence the "roaming" part of the name). You also have the advantage that if someone does forget their PIN (and someone will) you can reset it on the server. If someone forgets their password to access a PFX file then the file (and ultimately the digital ID) becomes useless.
I know I didn't answer your question because there is no one right answer. You just have to decide what best fits your work-flow.

Adobe Acrobat Professional & Digital Signatures

OK, I have Acrobat Pro CS3. I can create a "self signed" digital certificate, which will insert my signature onto a .pdf document to "sign" it. But when the recipient opens it, the signature is not digitally certified and the author is UNKNOWN.
I know I need to buy from a third party company a Digital Signature Certificate that works with Adobe Acrobat P:rofessional, but try as I might, using the Help in Acrobat or searching using Google, I cannot find any company that sells a Mac friendly Digital Signature Certificate.
Every site I look at (like Veri-Sign for example) requires Windows and Internet Explorer. Some sites will sell a USB key to make the certificate portable but again these require Windows.
Can anyone help please? What company sells Digital Signing Certificates for Adobe Acrobat on the Mac?

Regarding #1, the short answer is no. Every time the file is digitally signed it necessitates it being saved. That's what allow "View Signed Version" and signature roll back to work.
As for # 2, it depends on the version of Acrobat. Versions 6 and 7 allowed anyone to remove a signature as long as it wasn't a certifying signature. In the case of the certifying signature on the signer could remove. Beginning with version 8 you can only clear if you have access to the digital ID that was used to create the signature.

Acrobat X/Outlook 2010 Home Page/Webfolders Issue

All - I will apologize upfront if this does not belong in this forum, or it is felt that this is not an Acrobat issue.
We utilize a little used feature called Home Page/Webfolders in Outlook. Basically what we all grown accustomed to is creating a folder in Outlook and then change the folder properties>Home Page to point to PDF files that reside on our intranet site. Then when you want to view a PDF you click on the Outlook folder and bingo its displayed right within outlook. (This works great for those that live in Outlook and want quick access to common PDFs on the intranet (Org charts, phone lists, etc))
So after a recent round of computer upgrades (windows 7, Outlook 2010 and Acrobat x) all of a sudden the Homepage/web folder funtion has stopped working. Specifically the PDF files are not displaying in the outlook folder. You just get a blank page where the page would have rendered.
We have done some testing and Acrobat 9 with Outlook 2010 works just fine! which is why I am here.
Thoughts?
I can tell you that from what we can tell Acrobat X is installed and working properly. Even the PDF preview option has been selected by default in Outlook. I should also point out that we have had many computers previously running windows 7, and Outlook 2010 and did not have any troubles. The recent change appears to be related to Acrobat X.
Thank you in advance.

LoriUAC - thanks for the reply! yes we have everything full patched and up to date. While we have done a repair on some of the machines, the issue (which I may not have mentioned) is that this is widespread. It appears that everyone running Outlook 2010 with AcrobatX has the same issue.
With that said, is anyone also having the issue or is this isolated to just us?
Thanks again!
