Acrobat Pro XI "Signature field(s) Detected"

How can the "Signature field(s) Detected" reminder be eliminated? This is incredibly annoying -- showing up on bank statements, some credit card reports, journal articles, etc

I saw the post previously. This is what I found at the end of FeatureLockDown file: ] >> ] >>
Over the 2nd "]", I inserted "/Services [ /c << /EnableEchoSignDetection [/b false ] >> ]" in both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for Mac OS 10.8.4.
The problem still exists

Adobe 9.0 Pro deleting signature field

How do you delete a signature field in adobe 9.0 pro or standard? I can clear the signature, but not delete it entirely. I need to show engineers how to do this in case they create it the wrong size or in the wrong place.
In adobe 7.0 pro and standard you get the "delete signature field" option when you right click over the block.
Please help.

same problem here, since i installed the 9.2 update...
when i launch acrobat 9.2 pro it opens all the last used pdf's and then it crashes!
please help
tom
this seems to work:
open acrobat by holding the shift key
clear history
close acrobat
open acrobat again
Thanks Tom for this! I am glad I found this thread.
I installed Acrobat Pro 9 two weeks ago, and used it fine.
This morning, logged in, automatically started installing updates.
Then, opening a file in Acrobat, it opened the four I used yesterday.
Some of them are pretty big, and when I tried to close then, it crashed.
I tried to delete history, and then open them.
But, following your advice, I:
Opened Acrobat
Deleted history
Closed Acrobat
Opened Acrobat
Opened file in Acrobat
Seems to be working okay now. Thanks!
Still, seems to me that the latest update installment may have a bug.

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:

I can't read the text in my Acrobat pro fill forms fields

I used to be able to render text with my acrobat pro, now the function is missing. I can't read what people put in the fields I create in my forms if they don't fill it out with acrobat when they email them back. This didn't used to be the case. One month ago I could render the text. I had help from a tech at Adobe about a year ago on this and he changed my acrobat somehow so now I can't update it because it's been "modified". How can I make my text visible? Thanks!

How to make Acrobat Pro 7 form fields same size

I can manually enter form fields in my version of Acrobat Pro 7 but I have to hand draw them. is there a good way to make them all the same height? I know that if I copy the form field that I draw, it will link itself to whatever form field I copied it from.
TIA

The best way is to copy & paste the fields, and then rename them so that
they are no longer "linked".
If you have many such fields to rename, you might want to consider this
tool, developed by me:

Acrobat Pro 9 - Signature - problems

I have used Acrobat Pro for a number of years for editing and filling out forms (newbie).
I had a signature set up in the last Acrobat (I think 7) which was a typed signature saying it was digitally signed and gave the name and date.
Here is my question:
I am completely lost in trying to set up my signature in Adobe and need some help. I have 2 signatures in .jpeg form and would like to use these if possible.
Thank you guys for your help and I have continually browed the forums and picked up a few tricks of the trade.

Is this something you want to use as the signature appearance for a digital signature, or just add the image as you would with a stamp?

Acrobat Pro 8, Form Field Sizes - HELP!

Sometime within the past week, Acrobat has gone NUTS.
I used to be able to create text fields of just about any size. I had not updated recently or done anything to alter my installation.
Now, when I go add a form field, namely a text field, it automatically creates one much larger than I want. If I try to re-size it, I can only make it bigger. If I attempt to decrease the size of it, it disappears! I'm not talking font, I'm talking FIELD.
Since I noticed this, I downloaded the latest update, rebooted about 12 times and then had Adobe repair the installation, thinking it was some other issue. No dice.
I cannot stand this! I like using form fields as opposed to text boxes and want it to just work the way it used to work. I use this feature DAILY and right now I'm about at my wits-end.
ANY ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

I figured out my issue. For those who wanted to say it, please feel free. I AM AN IDIOT! I had somehow clicked SNAP TO GRID under the view menu. It is just odd because in all of the years I've used Acrobat, I've NEVER had that happen!

Acrobat Pro Calculating form fields lose functionality after enabling document for Reader

I have a problem that continues to come up increasingly. I thought I had found a work-around on some forums, but it is still causing trouble. Im hoping you can answer the question.
I am creating a form that requires simple calculations (sum and add). I can get these calculations to work just fine. However, as soon as I enable the document for Adobe Reader, the form seems to get amnesia. It loses the ability to calculate. When I go into the fields again to look at them, they still show that they are supposed to calculate, but arent working. I have to clear the calculations and completely reset them all in order to get them to function again, but as soon as I save this enabled doc, it loses its functionality all over again.
Frustrating.
I did find a work-around on a forum, but have only gotten it to work once. It had something to do with closing and saving the document, then reopening it before entering the calculations.
Is there a clear-cut solution to this problem? The forums were rife with people experiencing the same frustrations.
Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.

Nathan,
It's fairly straighforward to set up a custom validation script for this, but it might not be immediately obvious how to do it. I'll use your form as an example. In it, you have a number of rows with a Quantity field where the user enters how many items are needed, a Price field that has as its default value the price for the item, and a Total field which is a calculated field and should be the product of the Quantity and Price fields. The only variable in the calculation is the value of the Quantity field, so this will be easy.
The Validate event of a field gets triggered when the field value is committed. This happens when the user enters a value and presses Enter, Tab, clicks outside of the field, etc. What the script should do is take the value the user entered, multiply it by the value that's in the Price field, and set the value of the Total field. The script could look something like:
(function () {
    // Get the value of this field, as a number
    var qty = +event.value;
    // Get the value of the Price field, as a number
    var price = +getField("PRICE.0").value;
    // Calculate the total
    var total = qty * price;
    // Set the value of the Total field if not zero,
    // otherwise, blank it out
    getField("TTL.0").value = total ? total : "";
What you really should do, however, is set up a document-level JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts...) that contains a function you can call from the QTY field of each row. The function will determine which row should be affected based on the field name that triggers it. Something like:
function calcTotal() {
    // Get the row number from the field name
    // of the field that called this function
    var row = event.target.name.split(".").pop();
    // Get the value of the field that called this function, as a number
    var qty = +event.value;
    // Get the value of the Price field, as a number
    var price = +getField("PRICE." + row).value;
    // Calculate the total
    var total = qty * price;
    // Set the value of the Total field if not zero,
    // otherwise, blank it out
    getField("TTL." + row).value = total ? total : "";
Than all you have to place as the custom Validate script of each of your QTY fields is the following:
calcTotal();
Also, make sure that you remove any calculations that you've set up on the Calculate tab of each TOTAL field. Now that the total fields do not rely on automatic calculations, it does not matter that the document is missing its field calculation order array, though this bug REALLY needs to be fixed. You should consider reporting it to Adobe. I will report it too.
Note that this code assumes the QTY and PRICE fields are numeric fields, meaning they will either be blank or contain a valid number. You've ensured this by setting up each with a Format category of Number.

Removing digital signatures created in a previous version of adobe acrobat pro

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro, which required the removal of my previous version (8 Pro). I have several PDF docs created in (8 pro) with signature fields. I reuse these docs inputting updated info. When I do I clear the signature field, and place a new signature. After installed (X Pro) I can no longer clear the signature fields to place an updated signature. I am assuming that the new installation deleted my old signature ID that I created with (8 pro). Is there any way to clear my old signatures?

I don't think it should have deleted the digital ID file, so if you can find it you should be able to add it in Acrobat. Seach you system for any .pfx files to see if you can find it. See this previous thread for some potentially helpful info: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/991314
In the future, be sure to keep a backup of any digital ID files you have.

When filling a Digital Signature field from a mobile app, signature does not show Reader or Acrobat

Scenario :
1. Receiving a pdf form with digital siganture field.
2. Signing form using various pdf apps. " PDF EXPERT for iPad/iPhone"
3. After signing and emailing the document, opening in reader or Acrobat, the signature does not display but the field is gone, as if it was signed.
* Is reader /acrobat requiring a validation that it is not receiving to show the signature?
Did verify that the signature shows in Chrome, using chromes default pdf viewer.

New Feature came in the last update.

Why barcode works in Adobe Acrobat Pro but become "grey" in Adboe Reader ?

I have created a form with barcode using Adobe Acrobat Pro with ONE field only and it works prefect.
However, the barcode area become grey if I using Adobe "Reader" to fill-in data! I have tried to increase the size of the barcode area but still don't work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Danny

Hi everyone,
Any solution to this issue? Is there any cheap Adobe or third party component that enable us to design pdf forms with either livecycle designer or acrobat and provide dynamic barcode functionality for the end users having adobe reader?

Acrobat detects non-existant signature fields

I am running Acrobat Pro 11.0.03 from the Cloud subscription producing publications in ID 8.0.1 . After the most recent update to Acrobat I am finding that Acrobat is suddenlty detecting Signature fields in all new PDFs and demanding that my subscribers 'Open Sign Panel' and sign a certificate!!!! There are no forms, fields or certificates in any of the PDFs I am producing. I am at a standstill. My business is totally dependent on publishing documents for subscribers on a daily basis. I cannot find any information on this problem. I am in serious trouble.

Yes. I implemented the registry key fix. It eliminates the problem on my system but does nothing for my subscribers who have recently upgraded Reader (unless they do the same). The problem is fully exposed in the Acrobat Reader thread on this forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5329906#5329906). There are voluminous complaints there. There is apparently nothing a publisher of PDF content can do except assure subscribers that nothing is wrong with the PDF, they do not need to respond to the Signature prompt, and oh yes, Adobe will surely fix this promptly.
Lukily, those who have not upgraded Reader since mid-May do not have to experience this. I am recommending that they do not upgrade until it is fixed.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Creating an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X

I want to make an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X, so that Acrobat Reader users can later sign it. I know how to enable that last part ("extended PDF Reader"), but don't know how to make an empty field.

Is a blank signature field what I need to create if I want my document to be signed by someone else? I am just the editor of the document. I will not officially sign the document. The signature will come from a managment postion. Everytime I try to create a blank signature field though Adobe wants to sign the document with my personal signature.

How do I remove a digital signature from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have set it up wrongly.

I created a digital signature but I wanted to change the signature and it also was not password protected. So I deleted the signature but cannot delete the certificate to set it up again.
Mac OS X (Operating System)
So I am unable to delete the digital signature in Acrobat Xi pro.
I did the following: Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Creation and Appearance Preferences and deleted the signature. But Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Digittal ID and Trusted Certificate Settings, does not want to delete.
Tank you.

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?
