Adding a signature to a document in Preview - HELP!

I'm trying to add a signature to a document. I've discovered that I can do this in Preview. I've used the FaceTime camera to scan my signature, saved it and I can see it when I click on Tools > Annotate > Signature. I can't add it to my document though. I've read that I need Preview to Show Edit Toolbar but this option is greyed out. The Edit button on the toolbar is also greyed out. I created the document in Word.
Please help me!

Thank you Jeffrey. I converted the file to PDF and it worked! Very happy.

Collect signatures workflow - Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened read-only

Hi, I have configured a "Collect Signatures" workflow for test Word document(.docx), then uploaded it to sample SP 2010 doc library (content type "Document"). This Word document has 2 empty Signature Lines in it.
After that i'm starting the Collect Signatures workflow on it , which is assigned to me and other user from my Active Directory.
Workflow is started and after that i'm receiving mail about assigned task which also contains link to document.
When i click on link it opens IE which contains SP library file path, after a while doc is opened in Word client in Read-only mode. When i want to sign the document info window pops up : "Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened
read-only" and i'm not able to compete task/sign doc from Word.
It is possible to sign the document when i go to SP library and opens this file directly from there (file drop-down menu-> open in MS Word).
I saw that this behaviour is similar to this article:

but i'm using IE so it shouldn't be Active X issue.
I have also checked this MS Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661910
but changing CA settings to Permissive didn't help
Any ideas ?

Hi bezcisnien,
I could not reproduce this issue.
When you open this file directly by clicking the document Name link from SharePoint library, is there a
yellow message bar in Word document?
Did this happen to all users on all PCs?
Have you checked if it is a client side issue, test with different IE 8/9/10 versions for this issue (and IE compatibility mode, add-ons, trusted site zone etc)?
Thanks,

Adding a signature field takes a lot of time

Case: I have a Microsoft excel sheet that I save as PDF directly from excel. I use Adobe Acrobat X PRO to create 3 signature fields on this PDF to allow document signing in Adobe Reader.
Problem: Adding a signature field in form editing mode are extremly slow. After placing the signature field, Adobe Acrobat stops responding for about 1-3 minutes. I need to do this for a lot of documents, so it's time-consuming to say the least..
Is it possible to speed up this process?

Adobe X Std - Electronic Signatures and Flattening Document

We are experimenting with Electronic signatures using Adobe X std. Once a signature is added to a document, we want to flatten the document so that the signature and all other annotations can not be changed. I have found the javascript code needed to flatten documents and it works fine for all annotations, but not for the signatures. After adding a signature and choosing to flatten the document, I get the error:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.flattenPages:266:App FlattenPages:Exec
I don't know what security settings or other changes are needed to prevent the error. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Validating signatures is the normal and most important thing about them. That is how they work. This is fundamental stuff which you must explain to the users of the document as surely as they need to know how to use a pen for paper signatures.
Consider: if you come upon a PDF that is signed by your boss, how do you know it is signed by your boss? Because the signature has his name on it? Hardly the proof needed to fire a man or release a million dollars.
But if your boss sent his public key to you before, you can check the signature in the file against the public key, and this is absolute proof. Validating has to be done every single time, otherwise it is like sending a paper document with "trust me, this one's fine" written on a sticky note.
However, a group of people can share signatures and arrange that validation is automatic when files are opened. Don't know the details.

Added text & signatures do not print correctly

I am using Acrobat Reader v10.4.4 on my iPad Mini with IOS 6.1.2 and am having issues printing. I can open any PDF and have it displayed correctly. I can add text and signatures and the document is saved correctly because it can be opened after the changes are made and they are still there. When I try to print the document where I have added text and signatures to, the document does not print correctly. All of the text and the signature are shrunk to a very small size and appear in the lower left hand of the page.
I depend on my apps to work they way they should and having this issue makes my work very hard. I have to be very creative and perform unnecessary steps to get my PDF's to print the way they should. Does anyone have some insight in to this bug?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. We would like to investigate this issue at our end and if you could share one such pdf file in which you are facing the issue at [email protected], that would greatly help us.
Thanks,

Added a signature, all comments got erased!

I added a signature to my eBook in Acrobat 11.0.03 for Mac. The eBook had about 20-30 hours of work in terms of comments. Adding a signature and saving the document on top of the original caused all the comments to be erased! This is a pretty ridiculous bug.
Does anyone know how I can restore to a previous version of this document (the versions item under the file menu is greyed out).

They were a combination of strikethroughs, attachments, highlighted text with pop-up comments, basically all the different types of markups that exist.
Look at the image to see how I know the comments were all erased.
Actually, I just clicked the green bar that says "Signature field detected" even though there is not signature field (this is a known bug in Acrobat 11.0.03). Then I just put a signature on the cover page, hoping the green bar would go away. Doing this created another copy of the document, with the same filename and the suffix "signed", and so I just rename that new file to overwrite the unsigned one, and when I went to reopen it, all my comments were gone.
Please

Need a Suggestion For implementing the Digital Signature For the Documents

Hi,
Currently I am working in a Document Management System. I need a Good Suggestion for how to implement a Digital Signature For the Documents.
Thanks in Advance

Hmm, if you are not using Oracle Payroll, what are you using for payroll? I am wondering why you could not use your payroll system, whatever it is, to handle this reimbursement program.
Well, you may want to talk to Oracle support about how to handle this in Oracle iExpense. You can certainly handle advances for Expense Reports. You would then apply the advance to the expense report items. The catch is I don't think you can stop expense item entry after the adavance is satisfied. You would have to set up a work flow process of some kind to have the expense reports reviewed and only approve expenses that are applied to the advance, is what I am thinking. Not your ideal solution, but something to think about. It could be the Oracle folks might know of a sneaky way to handle this. What you are trying to do is unusual. Employee advances are common, but the idea of not being able to exceed the advance amount is what unusual about this. Normally you will accept any expenses over the advance amount and reimburse the employee for those extra amounts not advanced.
Good luck.

In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

If the other person will be using Reader, you should first add a digital signature field and then Reader enable the form. In Acrobat 10 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to get into form editing mode. You'd then select the signature field tool to add a signature field.
Once you have the document finalized, Reader-enable the document by selecting: File > Save As > Reader-Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
being sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original. If you don't Reader-enable, Reader users won't be able to digitally sign.

Cannot fill out or apply signatures to encrypted document (but can in desktop Reader XI)

I created a PDF Form in Acrobat Pro 9, and encrypted it with a password. No other restrictions were placed on the document.
When I open the document on an android device or an iPod, it does not allow me to fill in any of the fields or apply a signature of any kind.
However, when I open the same exact form in the desktop version (Reader XI), it does allow me to fill it out and sign it with no problem.
I have no problems filling it out and aplying a signature when the document is not encrypted.
PLEASE HELP!

Question : Adding a signature to a PDF programmatically with Acrobat 8 (Reader 9 validation issue)

Hi,
Please, apologyze my poor english.
I have an application that inserts a signature programmatically in a PDF document with Acrobat 8, via VB .NET, using the example provided in the Acrobat 8 SDK ("AddSignature").
The problem resides in that previous signatures in the document (signed normally via reader 8 or acrobat 8 application), now becomes INVALID, but only in Reader 9.Acrobat 8/Reader 8 considers them as "valid, with posterior changes".
The difference between the SDK example and this code resides only in the way of calling the script in .net
I call directly the AddSignature function with this code (partial), instead of calling the execution of the "ADBESDK:AddSignature" menu (this improves faster execution with no AVDOC object involved):
        AcroExchPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim JsObj As New Object
        AcroExchPDDoc.Open("c:\test.pdf")
        JsObj = AcroExchPDDoc.GetJSObject
        JsObj.SetUserDigitalIDPath("/C/trabajo/DrTest.pfx")
        JsObj.SetUserPassword("testpassword")
        JsObj.AddSignature(JsObj)
        JsOb = Nothing
        AcroExchPDDoc.Save(1, "c:\result_test.pdf")
        AcroExchPDDoc.Close()
I tried to change the AcroExchPDDoc.Save() parameters for intend an incremental save instead of a fullsave, but i keep getting this situtation.
How can this be solved?? Is this a bad approach to the process??
Note that all inserted signatures trough this method are valid in Reader 9.
Any help or comment would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Steven,
There is something I can´t undestarnd about this issue, and hope you can throw some light on it...
If I use the AddSignature method of Adobe 8 SDK by clicking on the new menu option that it creates, these inserted signatures not causes the invalidation message in Reader 9. The used script is the same, so I can´t figure out why.
Once inserted a new signature by ("my") code, it invalidates all previous "normally" inserted signatures trough the GUI, but not invalidate other signatures inserted trough this code (No matter how many signatures of this type are present in the document).
        I suppose that this means only a blank outline tree is inserted, and only the first time I apply the signature.
As an additional info, I´ve attached to this post a new pdf file with one signature normally inserted, and three signatures "code-inserted". (The "result_pdf.pdf" included in previous post, with another two code-signature).
As you can see, all except the first are valid, and any other new signatures inserted in the document (normal or code) won´t result in an invalid statement after the 1st code-insertion.

Electronic signature while approving documents

Dear experts,
I have a client who is validating its SAP B1 implemented system in compliance with FDA 21 CFR part 11 (electronic records and electronic signatures).
Can any one please describe how SAP business one treats electronic signature while approving documents? because in FDA 21 CFR part 11, it requires electronic signature on approval of certain documents which must contain 'the name of the signer, 'time and date stamp' and the 'meaning (such as approve, review, verify) associated with the signature' plus the traceable record of electronic signatures.
Furthermore, it also require a 'password' or user id of the signer' at the time of signing the document. In B1, it does not ask for user id / password at the time of approval and simply rely on login id / password. If user is already logged in, B1 simply allow the approver to approve a document and does not prompt for user id / password again.
Can we fulfill the signing requirement in SAP Business one? and modify or customize B1 in such a way that it starts prompting for user id / password at the time of approving the document too?
Any help is highly appreciated>
Thanks in advance,
Farhan

Adding multiple signatures

I can't add additional signatures to my document. I have read all of the threads and tried the solutions but none work. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 and have a document that requires a signature from the author and two approving signatures. I save the word document as a PDF then click certify with visible signature. I place the signature and sign, selecting "form fill in and digital signatures" under permitted changes after certifying. I then save the document and send it to the first approving official. When he clicks on the sign menu all options none of the options work except "validate all signatures" and "getting started with digital signatures" he has pro version 8 as well. Any thoughts

If the Version 9 does not work for you, you could enlist a third-party digital signature provider to drag and drop signature fields into your PDFs and even create templates.
SIGNiX is a good option.
