Adding Digital Signature Fields to Multiple Pages in a Document

Hello,
I have a batch processing java script which will place digital signature fields in a drawing.
Sometimes the drawing could have multiple pages and the script needs to place the digital signature fields onto each page.
The problem with the script I have is that the digital signature fields are only appearing on the first page.
Can anyone please provide assistance with modifying my script so that the digital signature fields appear on every page?
// Drawing signature field rev 0
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0;  i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked", "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed", "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App", "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App", "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Thanks very much.

Just index the field names:
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0;  i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Tho there's no point in signing each page in the same document, tho I also see engineering folk do this. They just love signing every data sheet.
And the result will not be good. Each signature will cause a problem/alert for the previous signatures.
Care to indicate your engineering company?

  • 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

  • Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

    Hello,
    I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs.  I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
    We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process.  Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields?  We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
    This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads.  I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
    Many thanks to the forum!
    Regards,
    Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
    Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
    In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.

    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
    However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
    If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
    Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
    Kind regards

  • Digital signature fields in AutoCAD?

    Is there any way to insert a digital signature field in AutoCAD and then make the PDF?  That way it is ready for the engineer's electronic digital signature and timestamp?

    No. You can't have multiple digital signature fields with the same namein the same document as you can with other types of fields. Since a digital signature applies to the entire document, not just a page, pages, or section of a page, it doesn't really make sense.

  • Digital Signature Fields

    Can digital signature fileds be linked in on document so that when one is signed the rest are also signed?
    Thanks

  • Digital Signatures getting lost when page presence set to hidden

    HI All,
    My project uses a multi page PDF which has signature fields in different pages. Because of performance issues i am showing only one page at a time and using navigation buttons to browse through pages. So when the PDF loads it displays Page1 and i sign the Digital Signature field and Click the next button which has event like
    Page2.presence="visible";
    Page1.presensce ="hidden";
    Now page2 is visible and if i move back to the Page1, the digital signatures are lost.
    But if i dont click the button , and save the PDF, the signature field is retained.
    I am not sure how can i retain the signature in this scenario
    Any help on this greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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?

  • How do I delete a digital signature field?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on Snow Leopard. I created a digital signature for a PDF file but it didn't look good, so I decided to delete it. I figured out how to delete the signature, but the signature field with the little red arrow did not delete with my signature. I want my PDF form to revert to the way it was before I created the signature. I cannot simply close the PDF without saving because I'd lose all the information I've already entered. Stupid me forgot to save before attempting the digital signature.
    HOW CAN I DELETE the digital signature field? Help!

    Hi SM,
    The place to look for permission settings is on the Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. You can get there by selecting the File > Properties menu item and then select the Security tab.
    One thing to note is if the file is Reader Enabled you will need to use the File > Save a Copy menu item to create a non-Reader enabled version of the file. You cannot edit a Reader Enabled file. As an aside, the Save a Copy menu item won't be there if the file is not Reader Enabled.
    If the file was created using Designer (which is only on Windows and I know you are using a Mac) then it has to be edited in Designer.
    If the file was certified, then you need to remove (clear) the certifying signature before you can edit the file, and to do that you must have access to the private key that was used as part of that signature operation.
    Finally, if the file is encrypted (e.g. Password Security or Certificate Security), you can edit the file, but you have to get Acrobat to realize you are the document owner which means you need the Permissions password or or logged in using a document owners digital ID (the former is only for Password Security and the latter is only for Certificate Security).

  • Generate a PDF from Excel with a Digital Signature Field?

    Hello,
    I have an excel workbook that is filled out weekly- I then have to generate a PDF with a digital signature field for a manager to sign (vouching for the data).  I currently have to manually generate the PDF and then manually add a digital signature field.  Is there any way to generate the PDF from excel with a digital signature field that can then be signed?

  • It is possible to add a defined sized Digital Signature field at a certain location on the document using the Adobe SDK?

    I have a need to create a Digital Signature field of the same size, in the same location, on many PDF documents over and over.  I would like to do this automagically through the Adobe SDK if that is possible.  Has anyone done something like this before, and if so can you briefly describe how?  Thank you.

    You can do this most easily with JavaScript.

  • Save metadata per digital signature field in PDF?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for a way to save metadata per digital signature field in a PDF.
    For example for each signature I would like to save additional string property.
    Can I use XMP in this case?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,
    Yes, we have options to add digital signature to the pdf. We have one attribute called "Permissions" in "cfpdf" tag. If we provide permissions = 'AllowSecure', then system would allow digital signature for that pdf.
    Please go though the docs for details info. I will post in details next.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't get digital signature field to work

    I am using Acrobat Standard.  I am trying to create a form with a digital signature field.  My problem is that when the PDF is opened with Reader on the same PC it works as expected.  Soon as it is emailed/moved somewhere else the box doesn't do anything, no ability to digitally sign or even type in that field.
    So I am struggling with creating a PDF on one PC that needs to be digitally authorised by someone else on a different PC, using Adobe Reader.
    I have been using Save as...>Reader Extended PDF
    Please help!  Apologies if this something obvious and simple, this is the first time I have tried to do this.

    Gerorge, thank you so much.  I have since upgreaded to Pro and am now trying to figure out how to use the digital signatures correctly.  I have sent out a test form and had a coworker complete, sign and send back but when I open up the form it says I have a signature error.  and then i get this pop up when I click on the signature
    What am I doing wrong?  I work in HR and need these to be valid signatures.  Thank you so much in advance!!!
