Adding digital signature field with LC Designer vs. LC Digital Signatures

Hi All,
When digital signature field named "SignatureField1" is added to PDF document using LC Designer it appears as "form1[0].#subform[0].SignatureField1[0]" in Adobe Reader signatures tree.
Same field added by LC Digital Signatures service appears as "SignatureField1" in the same tree.
Why? What is the difference between those objects?
LC Digital signatures ES2
Adobe Reader 9.3.0
Thanks, Yan

Yan
First off, there is no difference between the two signature field objects.
I'll do my best to explain why there is a difference in how the signature objects are named in the Signature pane of Reader\Acrobat. When you add the signature field using LC Designer, the object is defined in the underlying XML (XFA) that defines the form. The (SOM expression) you see in Reader (via the signature pane) matches the structure of the form.
When you add a signature field to a form using LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES2, you are appending a signature field "on top" of a PDF form (the underlying XML has been rendered into PDF). The signature field is not defined in the XML, therefore Reader\Acrobat do not display the same naming syntax.
Does this help?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for very helpful reply. After implementing the suggested SAP note, I am able to see the getter and setter methods.
So one of my problem has got solved with your kind help:)
As per your another suggestion,I have created the enhanced fields without the search help from AET in the node BTAdminI with names Plant(ZZPLANT) and Storage Location(ZZStoarge_Loc).
Now I am facing below problem:
Since Plant needs to autopopulated by Storage Location (search Help ZOFI_SHLP_STORAGE_LOC),So I need to Implement Getter setter method.
I have written below code into Get_V_ZZStorage_Loc Method:
method GET_V_ZZSTORAGE_LOC.
DATA:
    ls_map    TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,
    lt_inmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
    lt_outmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
    ls_map-context_attr = 'ZZSTORAGE_LOC'.
    ls_map-f4_attr      = 'STORAGE_LOC'. (Storage_loc is the parameter defined in search help)
    APPEND ls_map TO: lt_inmap, lt_outmap.
CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor TYPE cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    EXPORTING
      iv_help_id        = 'ZOFI_SHLP_STORAGE_LOC1'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_callback
      iv_input_mapping = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap.
endmethod.
But its not working.Should I write some code in Get_P_XX or some other method also?
Kindly suggest .

? using multiple approval signatures, each locking the fields with collections

Having fun with LiveCycle to make a "signoff" sheet that will allow a customer to request a "new product" with a PDF form. Once that information is added to our EDR (Eng Design Request) form, I want the form to be forwarded to multiple departments, where each department manager adds their name, date, comments, and then signs the document and forwards it to the next manager. I have it set up with "locking" a "collection fields" with each signature, and that is cool to lock their comments to thier signature, such that someone else can't change their comments without first "clearing" their signature field... just what I wanted, cool,, taking it a step further, I wanted to have the original product data protected such that once signed by one, or more managers (Eng, Sales, President), that the data was locked unless all signatures were cleared. I tried this first by including the product definition fields in every signature's "collection of fields" (set to lock after signing). Thought that would be the ticket, pretty pumped to try it, but once I clear one signature, example the "Eng manager signature" I can go in and mess with the specs and then re-sign the document, and the other signatures are still there, thought I have to clear them, not good,,, 2nd try, I then tried to lock the preceeding "signature field" itself with the next signature (added "sig0" to "sig1" collection) and that worked once, but fell apart on the third approval, as clear one signature openned things right up, when it shouldn't have. Anyway, has anyone found a way to have an approval signoff sheet where once signed the data fields are locked unless all the signature(s) are cleared. I think the programming is not handing multiple locks on the sme field properly, ie all locks on that field must be removed for that field to become editable,, There may be a better way to tackle this..
PS, I have really learned to be cautious when saving the form out of LiveCyle, then renaming it and save out or "Pro" with read permisions enabled, then see if "Reader" can open it,,, if U R not carefull you get and error that the "document has changed and reader can't save, contact the author,,," that was scary as I had to surf through lots of old revs to find one that would work again, something salvagable without going back to MSWord,,,
Thanks for your help...

I think I found a way to get it to do what I want,,,
1) Use the first signature collection lock to lock only the fields that that person is signing-off on.
2) The next manager then signs off and locks only his comments and text boxes, as well as the signature of the preceeding manager. This way text fields are only locked by one signature collection and thus to edit anything you have to clear that manager's signature to edit the related text boxes, then to re-sign that section you must clear the other (higher level) signatures to open up the signature field for resigning,,, I think this is providing the protection I want,,, Yea,,, let's get this form back into our stupid ISO system ;)

Signature field detected - I never added a signature field

Hi, when I open my PDF in Reader, I suddenly get a green bar along the top saying "Signature field detected." I never added a signature field to the PDF. How do I remove this green bar? Thanks, Siegfried

Windows 7, 64. MSIE 10. All updates installed. And BTW, I am now in "compatability mode" - still nogo.
Perhaps related: I've noticed since... maybe a few months ago: The paste "cache" (or whatever it's called) works differently now. Now if I "copy", then open a program, then hit "paste", nothing happens. That is: I have to open the target ap before copying from the original ap.
And so, if I want to copy from Word to Excel... If I copy, then open Excel... "paste" does nothing. I have to go back to Word, copy again, and then paste.
Caveat: I have not done any troubleshooting with this. And so, I can't say 100% that that is what's happening there. Maybe just 95%.
I've assumed this apparent change is some sort of new security thing from MS to prevent cross-ap pasting instigated by malware. But other than that, paste works in every other ap I have - whether I copy from Text Editor to paste into another ap, or copy & paste within an ap, etc. Except right here.

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?

Acrobat freezes when adding a signature field

We are currently using Acrobat 9.5.5 (updated on 12th June 2013) on a windows 7 (64-bit) machine, when adding a signature field to a PDF that has been created using the AdobePDF printer (from a file created in AutoCAD 2013) Acrobat freezes and starts to use excessive amounts of RAM (peaking at around 1.9GB), and eventually either crashes or after about 30 seconds adds the field.
We've tried to use Acrobat XI (trial version), but this seems to make the problem worse (using over 3.5GB of RAM) and taking in excess of a minute to eventually add the field.
The problem seems to be limited to certain files, 2 in particular are causing the problem, both of which are around 5MB in size, when we add a signature to other smaller files the problem isn't as crippling, the "freeze" only stays for a couple of seconds and the field is usually added.

Floating Fields with Designer ES2

I just did an upgrade to Designer ES2.
I created a new form with static textfields and floating textfields
then i created a button that filles the floating field with a text using javascript.
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[0].Textfield1").rawValue
= "it doen't work";
But it doesn't work
When i make the floating field visible, so i see the normally hidden field, the i see that the script works, but that te tekst doesn't show in my static textfield
Anyone else with this problem?
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
In the previous Designer ES it worked fine and opening those forms in ES2 still work
But creating a new form with a floating text doesn't work

I reinstalled Both Designer 8.x and ES2 several times, but i have the same problem with both versions.
Now i only have Designer 8.x installed on my WinXP.
i created a new empty form and add a static text field and a button.
within that static textfield i insert a floating field.
i add a Formcalc script to the click function of the button: Field.rawValue = "hello"
i save it as a dynamic form.
preview the form and when i click the button nothing happens
Then i change the presence of the floating field to visible, so a normally hidden field is visible
Now without changing anything i preview the document en click on the button
Now i see the text in the field i just made visible, but still not in the static textfield where i inserted that floating field.

Create Multiple Signature and Date fields with a custom Toolbar Button

First off, thanks in advance! I am a scripting newbie and I am trudging my way through with very little experience with scripting of any kind. I am good at taking other's scripts and forming them into something I need, but I can't seem to find anything to do what I want.
Using Adobe Acrobat X, I am trying to create a toolbar button that I can press to create multiple signature and date fields with predetermined locations.
Below is the script I have that is working to create just a single signature box, but I can't seem to figure out the exact syntax to have that same button create multiple fields. In total it is 9 signature fields and 9 date fields need to be created. If you can just give me an example of what the button would look like with multiple scripts? I was assuming I would set up multiple variables and then in the cExec property of the toolbar button I could just call out all of those variables?
var sigswm = "addField('sigSWM', 'signature', '0', [108, 198, 494.64, 72])"
app.addToolButton({cName: "dotbutton", cExec: sigswm, cLabel: "Place Signature and Date Blocks",});
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Billy Sweeney

Thanks! That was probably the only thing I didn't try.
I do have one more question. What I want is when the signature field is clicked it fills out a specific date field. I beleive the script I want would be:
var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year
    var f = this.getField("dateSWM");
    f.value = signingTime;
I found this on another thread that mentioned it could be placed in the Signed tab of the signature properties dialog. I am assuming it would be placed in my button script file as a setAction script for each signature, but I am not real sure exactly where or how?

How do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow

how do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow it? I also want to shrink one of the fields and cannot do so.

It is possible that all there is not enough room on your line to grow the field. You can try a few things :
- Make the form width wider by dragging the right edge of the form or via the Form Setup dialog (File > Form Setup... and change the Form Width)
- You can make other field on the row narrower (if they are not already at their minimum width).
Each field type has a minimum width. What field type are you trying to make smaller?
For example : Text and Multiline can go down to a width of 30. Dropdown min width depends on the length of the long item in the dropdown list.
Hope this helps

Numeric field with restriction of 8 digits

Dear All.
How should i restrict a numeric field with 8 digits length? (without any default validation message).
Thanks,.

Hi,
you can use a small JavaScript in the fileds change event to limit the length to 8 characters.
if (xfa.event.fullText.length > 8) {
xfa.event.change = "";

Adding fields with data type "TIMS" to the BP transaction

hi all,
This is Anil regarding the addition of fields to the BP transaction.
here my problem is for BP transaction I could not find any BADI or screen exit to add the fields. Even EEWB tool does not allow us to cretate the fields with data type "TIMS". so could you please suggest any other way to add these fields to BP?
when I enter the values to the time fields in BP transaction, they must reflect in
BUT000 table also?
Regards,
Anil .

In the physical layer, Column Properties change the data type to int.
If still problem exists, In the Business Model, write a case statement like
case when column1=1 then 1 end
and apply count aggregation on the new calculated column,add the column to presentation table, use that new calculated column for report.

EEWB : in CRM 4.0 adding field with data element = table type

Hi,
Do you have experience in CRM4.0 to add a customer field with data element that is a table type ?

Marie,
I don't believe it is possible in CRM 4.0. Another drawback of the EEWB is that you can't add currency or quantity fields using the EEWB tool.
Good Luck,
Stephen

Adding multiple signatures in one interactive form

Hi, I'm creating an insertion form for a client. THey have one area under credit card info that has a signature line, and another spot at the bottom of the form that has another field for a signature.
When I bring the PDF into acrobat Pro and do the form wizard, it only makes one of these boxes have the red tag/signature look to insert a digital signature. My clients wants both signature boxes to have this feature.
I can not figure out how to do this. please help.

After you've added the form fields, including the signature fields and have the form working like it should, it needs to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat. How this is done depends on which version of Acrobat you're using. This thread has more information: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4896660
This enabling really should be done by your client with their licensed version of Acrobat Pro, not yours. It's an Acrobat licensing issue, actually several issues.
In any case, the resulting file is a PDF, the same as what you're working with now.
Another thing to consider is that if the form is intended to be used by the general public, most won't have any experience with using digital signatures. An alternative is to use Adobe's new EchoSign service, which does not use digital signature fields but instead uses an electronic signature (e-sig) process which does not rely on the form being Reader-enabled, so there are no Acrobat licensing issues. But there is a fee associated with the EchoSign service. Digital/Electronic signatures are not free.
Then there are legal issues that need to be considered. EchoSign may have an advantage here, at least over the use of self-signed certificates as are most commonly used with digital signature fields. Even if I knew more details about the form and intended workflow, I can't provide you any specific advice about this.
