Activating signature in Adobe Reader

Hi, I hope someone can help me, although I'm a novice using adobe i know a few features. I've made a form in PDF using adobe acorbat 8 professional and added a signature field. When i test the signature field in professional it works fine, however when i try it in Adobe Reader (version 9.1.0) it doesn't seem to work. When i go to the 'document' tab in menu bar and select sign, the 'sign document' & 'place signature' links are faded out in grey and can not be selected. I've emailed this to my collegues to check and again they are getting the same thing??
Question: how do i activate these menu links and what am i doing wrong?
Regards
Mandy

Thank you oh master one.... i shall bow down to your superior'ness!!!  Thanks for your quick response, it's been driving me crazy since yesterday and you've solved it in minutes, I will definately come here again! Cheers Mandy

    how to create a digital signature in adobe reader?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "modern" UI) does not support any types of signatures yet.
    Digital Signatures with certificates
    Electronic Signatures (that are legally enforceable)
    Signature annotations (hand-writing annotations which may not be secure and legally enforceable)
    Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) supports #1 and #3.
    Adobe EchoSign supports #2.
    Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports #3.

  • Problem creating PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X - where do I confirm the Password?

    I cannot create a PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X. It says the passwords don't match when I create it. The problem is, I never was asked to confirm the P/W when I created it. It asked once for the P/W and then the only thing I can do is click "Finish" and then it says my P/W don't match. I am able to create a DS on my other computer using Reader 9 (and it did ask me to confirm the P/W when creating). I have re-booted my computer and still it will not work.

    You'll need to ask in the Acrobat Pro forum. There are people there with expertise who can answer this. I use Acrobat myself, but I'm a novice when it comes to signature settings.

  • I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

    I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

    What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?  What means "can not"?
    Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

  • Digital Signatures in Adobe Reader 8

    Hello,
    I am trying to use adobe reader 8 to make a digital signature on a pdf document but I run into an error code when I try to sign and save the document.  It comes up saying:  platform encyption
                                keyset does not exist
                                error code:  2148073494
    This was after running through this document on the adobe website:  http://http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/8.0/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102bd61510 9794195ff-7d4b.html minus the first HTTP that is in this line.  Has anyone tried this or seen this error?
    Thanks in advance, have fun
    Dave

    What I found is that the document first has to have usage rights enabled in Acrobat Pro 8 or 9, then you can use Reader 8 or 9 to sign the document.

  • Digital Signature in Adobe Reader

    Hi!
    I saved my MS Excel file into PDF and try to add  digital signature to the PDF , but failed.
    Can we do digital signing with Adobe Reader ? I tried and all of  the "Work with Certificates" fields was grayed out (not clickable).
    I am using Adobe Reader XI.
    Appreciate your advice.
    Thank you.

  • Question from worse than Newbie about digital signatures and Adobe Reader.

    1st, thanks for taking the time to even look. 2nd, We are trying to use digital signature pads with PDF documents created by Documaker 11.4. In Adobe Pro there is a setting "Extend features in Adobe Reader" that will allow users with Adobe Reader to sign the PDF documents, however our "guy" creating the forms cannot find anything like this in Documaker. I've never used Documaker before and dont have a copy to even play with, but I was hoping there was a simple "go here, click this" answer.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for you time,
    Jeff Holt

    I'm not expert on Documaker, but I'm close to them and will try to find an answer if I can be sure of the question.
    Documaker is capable of creating PDF signature markers in the output PDF. Those markers are compatible with tools like Acrobat which can sign the documents. Is your question about how to create the markers or are you doing that and finding that Acrobat Reader will not allow you to sign them?
    I'd have to research Adobe's licensing for Acrobat and Reader to see if that was the issue. I know certain features in Acrobat Reader are locked down by Adobe so you have to have another product license from them to enable the feature. If that is the problem, then I'm pretty sure that Documaker has no mechanism to provide a license token to specifically enable the Acrobat Reader product.
    If you can provide more specifics, I'll try to follow up. You may also contact Customer Support, if you haven't already and open a case there requesting a specific question be answered.
    Best Regards.

  • Signature électronique Adobe READER

    Bonjour,
    J'ai lu attentivement le didacticiel concernant l'utilisation de la signature électronique d'Abobe Reader (j'ai la version XI) mais je n'ai pas compris comment m'en servir pour mon utilisation.
    Dans l'entreprise où je travaille je souhaite utiliser Adobe Reader afin de faire signer électroniquement des documents. Ces documents sont écrits. Il n'est pas nécessaire que le rédacteur signe. Ils doivent être transmis à un approbateur qui va signer et approuver le document. Une fois ce document approuvé il doit être adressé aux lecteurs qui doivent également signer le document.
    Ce document est disponible sur notre réseau informatique, je souhaite que toutes les signatures se trouvent sur le même document. Est-ce possible ?
    Est-il nécessaire d'utiliser EcoSign ? Pour des questions de sécurité je ne souhaite pas mettre le document en ligne.
    Est-ce que l'utilisation de l'identification numérique permet l'envoi d'un mail ?
    Merci d'avance pour toute l'aide que vous pourrez apporter.

    I can no longer insert my signature or text in Adobe Reader. I am using XI. The Sign option does not appear on the toolbar and is not available to add when I right click on the toolbar. Help! I use this feature often.

  • Digital Signatures with Adobe Reader

    So i created an adobe form with acrobat 9 and sent it out for all to digitally sign.  about half are getting an error when they try to sign it.  "The credential selected for signature is invalid"
    We are a government agency and use Common Access Cards (CAC) certificates to digitally sign with. 
    i was hoping someone out there could either point me to a good recource for adobe and digital signatures or to a possible fix. 
    now we have narrowed it down to the problem being with the specific machine.  the user can digitally sign the document on another machine, but not on thier own machine.  Also, no one else can sign the doc on thier machine either. 
    Thanks in advance!

    issue still exists.  ive been searching for some info on how adobe handles digital signatures, like what folders are created on the machine.  im thinking maybe i can clear out the app data for acrobat or something.  im at a loss at the moment.
