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.

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

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.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Signature Issue after upgrade

I have updated to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from Acrobat 7 Standard. I have several pdf files that I have signed and secured. These files have been set to not allow clients to remove or alter various pages. I did not save a copy without the signature or security settings. I have not been able to get back into 7 Standard to try and retrieve the signature. I do have a complete backup of the program files. Can anyone tell me how I might be able to retrieve the signature (or signature files) from Standard 7 and place it in 9 Pro Extended? I am using the same computer and as mentioned above I have a complete backup of 7 standard program files prior to the update. I would like to be able to remove the signature and alter the security settings in Pro 9 Extended.

How Can I stop signature fields disappearing on my IPAD Adobe Reader 11

Hi, I am using trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro. I have converted a Word document to PDF. I have added text fields, Java scripts to automatically add Todays date as default, Form Reset buttons and Signature fields. File is saved as standard save. All of the above is done in Windows 7 environment. On same computer, In Adobe Reader signature fields are visible although I do not have the means to test it. When the same File is emailed and opened on an IPAD using Adobe Reader 11.2, the signature fields are missing. I intend to have my users access the file (and 30 others like this) on an IPAD. Can someone advise how to resolve the missing signature field issue. It appears that Adobe do not help with such issues as it is not considered an installation issue.

Digital signatures are not supported on mobile versions of Adobe Reader. Other PDF viewers like Readdle's PDF Expert treat them like e-signature fields, allowing the user to draw/apply their drawn signature, but this is not the same as a digital signature. Adobe Reader for iOS allows you to add an e-signature, but it doesn't use digital signature fields for this feature. Instead, you tap the screen, choose the annotations icon, and then the signature icon.

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).

Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat". This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Regards,
KVD

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro SIGNATURES

My subject: Employee Onboarding
My short-term goal: To allow user to save his or her signature securely, when they access the form with Adobe Reader, so that they can access it for future use.
My long-term goal: To set up an employee onboarding access page on our agency's website to allow employees to complete forms via a secure online portal and sign their document electronically. (For now, I will have the employee use a laptop for completion of the form.)
My current setup: I have an extensive Adobe Acrobat XI Pro form set up. Users can click in the signature field and opt to create a new ID or use an existing signature.
My problem: I am unsure of where I should have employees save his or her signatures. Should they be stored securely on my server, or should they be stored in the cloud?

Hi,
Just so we are on the same page, you are not talking about "signatures" but rather about digital IDs. You use the digital ID to create a digital signature in the electronic world just as you use a pen to create a wet ink signature in the paper world.
When it comes to storing a digital ID there are four options; you can store it in a password protected file (e.g. a PFX or P12 file), you can store it on a hardware device (e.g. a smart card or token), you can let the computer's operating system manage the digital ID (e.g. Mac Keychain Access or Windows Certificate Store), or it can reside on a roaming credential server. There are pros and cons with all three options, but as with everything in computer management you need to balance ease against both security and cost.
The cheapest and simplest is probably to let everyone save their digital ID in a password protected file. The next question is where do you save the file. You could save the file on a flash drive and let people take it with them from computer to computer. The downside to this approach is people tend to lose their flash drives. You could also store the file on a network location that everyone has access to, but here the problem is what happens if the network is down. And of course in all cases with the digital ID saved in a password protected file is people tens to forget their password.
Putting the digital ID into the operating system eliminates the forgotten password problem, but now the digital ID is only available from one computer. The concept here is if you can log in and get to your desktop then you are who you say you are and the OS gives you access to the digital ID. Your log in is in essence the password to the file.
Using a hardware device is know as two factor authentication as you have to have the device and know the PIN. This is different from just putting the PFX file on a flash drive because with a secured hardware device the the device itself has protection software on it and the private key (which is what you sign with) never can leave the device. The signature is actually created on the device and sent back to Acrobat.
Finally, using a roaming credential server is akin to cloud signing. Like with the secured hardware device, the private key never leaves the server and as long as you have Internet access you can sign from anywhere (hence the "roaming" part of the name). You also have the advantage that if someone does forget their PIN (and someone will) you can reset it on the server. If someone forgets their password to access a PFX file then the file (and ultimately the digital ID) becomes useless.
I know I didn't answer your question because there is no one right answer. You just have to decide what best fits your work-flow.

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.

Adobe Form: Signature Field

Hi folks,
is anyone out there who knows how to find out whether a pdf form is signed or not? There must be an attribute belonging to the signature field which can be used for that via scripting. Does anybody know how to do that?
Answers will be highly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Alexander

Pro. You need to enable the form for Reader users.

Adobe Acrobat Reader Signature Field not Accessible

I created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. It has a signature field. The security settings are off, and according to Pro, all abilities including adding a signature are allowed. When I open the document in Reader XI, I cannot sign it. The Sign tab is available, but all options in that tab are grayed out. I cannot double click on the field or click the signature icon. What settings am I missing?

Here are three documents that i down loaded, there are others

Signature field is being deleted when pdf is uploaded - what can I do?

I was contacted by another administrator who was having trouble uploading the latest version of a pdf form online. Everything looks great in Adobe Acrobat X and Reader, but when we put the document on our website, the signature fields are being deleted, and the tab order changes.
When users want to look at the document, they must download it, so it's not in the browser when this happens (I know this can make a difference). Signatures are allowed, and field forns are allowed on this pdf. Is there some other setting that could be messing things up?

Does this happen when the Adobe plugin is used in the browser, or a
different one? My guess is it's the internal PDF plugin of the browser used
(Firefox, Chrome and Safari have one), which is probably causing this
behaivour.

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |                  |
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: (     )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
Thanks,
