Adobe Form Digital Signature using WDA

Hi,
I have implemented Interactive Adobe Form using WDA, with one Signature Field.
I need to set and verify the status of the Digital Signature.
1) Is it possible to sign the Adobe form without the user selecting the Digital Id, basically what is needed to implement automatic signatures (setting and verifying)?
2) Once the data is filled online, the form is to be distributed or downloaded. How to apply security parameters to Form in this case (like pass protected etc). From SAP documentation, I understand we need to use Adobe Policy Server. Can we install this server on the Java stack of SAP WAS. Are there any other alternatives to implement such features?
Thanks & Regards,
Chitrali Shah

I realize there is quite a bit of crossover between the two topics, but becuase you want to know about digital signature and specifically offline security; this question would probably be better asked in the Adobe Interactive Forms forum:
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe
However I'm not going to lock the thread, as the WDA forum you will find many Forms experts as well and might find a solution. I just think you might have better luck in the other forum. This is perhas a rare case where double posting would be appropriate as long as you go back and update both threads with any solutions.
It sounds like you may have already found it, but about all I can offer on the subject is the link to the latest version of the online help on the subject:

Adobe form Digital Signatures

Hello SDN,
I have to implement Digital signatures in my Webdynpro interactive forms. In sdn I found one example related to online Interactive form security but for offline I couldnt find.
In offline scenario, a user will send pdf form to customer or employee etc to fill the form and send it back.
1) Here how a receiver will know that he got the form, from an authorized person?
2) Once the form is filled and send it back, how receiver can validate whether the filled form came from an authorized person?
3) Also how exactly I can use digital signatures? what are the technical requirements for implementing digital signatures?
4) For implementing digital certificates do I need to have SSL configured for my j2ee?
Can some one guide me on this?
Appreciate your help.
With regards,
Ravi.D

Adobe Forms central it useful for sap Consultant

HI all,
Last few years in sap Consultant and i worked SAP Adobe forms this Adobe Forms Central it useful for sap Consultant

FormsCentral does not have any integration with SAP.

I am unable to sign with Digital signature using a .PFX file. The button does not appear.

When I try to sign with a Digital signature using a .PFX file, the button to select the signature does not appear. I have JAVE SE 7 U11 10.11.2.21 platform in my add ons and JAVA Consol 6.0.33 and 6.0.35 in my extentions.
This problem is not encountered in Crome or IE-8

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

Unable to Split pdf form containing Digital Signature using Assembler

Hi All,
I am trying to split a pdf form into multiple forms using Assembler service provided by Adobe LiveCycle. Normal pdf's are getting splitted but facing issues with pdf's containing Digital Signature is there any way to split those forms please suggest ?????
Regards,
Ali

Hello,
We have a livecycle form that allows people to save an image with an image field and other data in some text fields.
The users having problems are using Acrobat Pro XI. They seem to be able to open the form, fill in some data and save the data just fine except for this image.
The image does not display when the user re-opens the form. However, if another user opens that saved form then that user can see the image OK.
Any ideas what might be happening?
Thank you.

Has anyone worked with the JAVA API to add digital signatures on to a PDF file using Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2? If yes please let me know.

This was traced back to one of the ini files still having a folder name from the last instance installed (i.e. SERVER6).
So it is fixed

Digital Signature using Adobe Document Services

Sorry, I am new to portal and ADF. I want to capture digital signatures. Can I do this adobe document services?

The problem was on the users workstation copy of Adobe. There is a parameter that allows the PDF to be opened in a separate window.

Adobe Acrobat - Digital Signatures Security

Hi,
The business I am working for is making a push for online fill in forms for simplicity and less paperwork. At the moment they are using word docs with fill in sections that are terrible to deal with and still require you to print them out to sign it.
I have developed a PDF fill in form using Adobe LiveCycle that uses digital signatures. My only worry is how the digital signatures are created. It seems it is fairly easy to create a digital signature for someone else and use it without it being authenticated.
I have done some reading around and it seems to suggest that you are able to intergrate windows user accounts with adobe security somehow, but I am unable to find how to do this. I also don't have access to any of the windows security certificates so I will need to pass on information to the external IT company that manages it for them to do.
So, more specific question: How do I intergrate Adobe Acrobat signatures/security with windows user accounts so that only a specific list of users are able to sign forms.
Or if there is a better way of doing this let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
You don't need to do anything. If the user has loaded their digital ID into the Windows Certificate Store (or the Mac Keychain) then Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I mean both Acrobat & Reader) will pick up the digital ID and make it available at signing time in the Sign Document dialog, "Sign as" drop-down menu.

Xfa Form, Digital Signatures, file attachments and Reader 9

Hi,
In reader 8 and previous, when i wanted to have a form that could be signed, passed to the next persons, added attachement signed, repeat, while maintaining the signatures valid, i could.
Since we updated to reader 9.12 all previously signed documents appear with invalid signatures and if i try to attach a file, the add button just isn't there.
If i follow he following steps:
Server side:
- Create PDF from xdp + xml (using forms).
- Assign Form Fillin, Digital Signatures and File Attachment (using Reader Extentions)
Client side:
- Populate the Form data
- Attach files
- Certifiy
- Sign (multiple Signatures)
It works fine, but it isn't the workflow i had in previous versions.
The workflow i have here is:
Server side:
- Create PDF from xdp + xml (using forms).
- Assign Form Fillin, Digital Signatures and File Attachment (using Reader Extentions)
Client side:
- Populate the Form data
- Attach files
- add Signature (only locks a collections of form fields)
- Repeat until everyone has attached their files and signed.
The problem is that this worked fine in versions before 9 (all digital signatures here validated with the yellow exclamation mark indicating new content), but in 9 and up what i get, after validating the signatures in reader, is a information indicating that the signatures are invalid because the document is either corrupt or has been changed.
Is this a bug or has this been changed from version 8 to version 9?
I've read the changelist of reader 9 and it talks nothing about this situation or Digital Rights other than form fillin, annotations and digital signtatures (the ones we can choose in the certification wizard of Acrobat Pro).
Any idea if its possible to implement the second scenario in reader 9, or even if its possible? Is there a guide on the practices Adobe garaties will allow to validate signatures in the following years? Even if it means usings PDFA.
Thanks in advance.

One last try.
You help would really be welcome in finding out the root cause of the difference in behaviour between reader 8 and 9 in this matter (bug or change).
I have no idea what documentation to read (since i've read the launch documentation and change list documentation) about reader 9, i've contacted Adobe 3 days ago (and the answer is silence, like usuall) and have no clear thought about what to say (without taking a huge risk by giving a uninformed answer) about this issue.
Thanks.

Dynamic xfa form - digital signature becomes invalid

Greetings forum,
I have question regarding dynamic xfa forms and hope, that you can help me.
I filled a pdf form based on a dynamic xfa form (with extended rights for Reader user) using iText. When the content of the PDF is changed, the digital signature becomes unvalid, so that the rights are no longer vaild.
Therefore Adobe Reader (9.0) does not save the PDF. I get the following error message:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I tried the following workaround with itext:
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(RESULT), '\0', true);
(http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/faq.php?branch=faq.itext&node=enabled_form),
but I doesn't seem to work.
As a result, the rights are valid but the content of the PDF wasn't changed.
Is there any workaround for that or does it only work static xfa forms/acroforms?
Many thanks for you support!
Irina2000

Sounds like you tried to fill in a form using Acrobat without the form feature use. Actually iText from what I can see is not using Acrobat, but a third party product. To fill in the form, you simply use the hand tool to move over a form field where the tool will change to an Ibeam or similar pointer tool. Select the field and type in the data. That should not make any changes to the PDF in the sense that has been stated. I have no clue where iText comes into the picture.

Digital Signature using acrobat x

I've made a form and included a field for a digital signature. I saved it as user enabled but it still won't let someone using reader only sign the document. I need help with this.

Seriously? Wow. Ok. Thanks. This is the product that was purchased for me through work so I'm stuck I guess.

Digital Signatures using JSONP across Domains

Currently using Apex 3.2.1 through OHS. Not that that really matters in this instance, it would probably work the same in Apex 4.
I have working code to digitally sign an apex web form. The user presses a "Digitally Sign" button on the page, and an ondemand process runs the pl/sql package to read in the required CGI variables and create a signature string (similar to what you may see on a digitally signed PDF file), then saves that string to the database to mark that form as being digitally signed.
However, the web server that is running this code must be setup to require user certificates in order for this to work. Instead, what I would like to do is make a call to our login server which is already setup to require user certificates, and get the digital signature from there instead.
So far, I have created a mod_plsql call on the login server which I can access via a URL to return the signature, but what I don't know how to do is call that URL from an Apex page on the normal server? From my research, I'm thinking this is going to need to use JSONP because it would require cross domain communication. Am I going in the right direction here? I don't know a thing about JSON, and I'm not sure where to start.
Can anyone provide any guidance?
Thanks,
Kris

Anybody have any guidance on how to handle this?
Thanks!

Forms, digital signatures, cross platform issues

I am trying to implement pdf forms in an educational environment to utilize digital signatures and reduce paper. The form data does not need to go anywhere. It just stays in the form at this point. Some people on campus have Windows machines, others have Macs. All the Windows machines have Acrobat Pro installed and not Reader. The Mac people are more likely to have Reader. There have been problems with emailing these forms between platforms. Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? My IT department will not support Reader on Windows machines, so the forms have to work in Acrobat and Reader! How should the orginal document I put online be saved to work in both programs and platforms? What direction should I give the users about how to save the forms they fill out and sign? I've looked all over for this kind of info, but can't seem to find it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. FYI, I am not an IT person. Thanks!!!

For Mac users, it will be important that they don't use the Preview application to work with the forms. Preview is the default Mac PDF viewer out of the box, and it corrupts PDF forms when it saves them, so it really needs to be avoided.
In order for Reader to save a filled-in form and apply digital signatures, the forms need to be Reader-enabled, which can be done with Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Standard can Reader-enable documents too, but it doesn't apply the digital signature usage right.
The problem with this is if you will be getting the forms returned to you, you can only use data from no more than 500 instances for the form, including hardcopies. This is an Acrobat License Agreement restriction. If they won't be returned, there won't be a problem. Also, the Acrobat users don't need to use a Reader-enabled version, so you can collect all the forms you want from them.
Email will be most reliable if the user manually attaches the file to an email, as opposed to setting up a button on the forms to submit to an email address. You'll find many threads here discussing the emailing difficulties with forms that are set up this way. The problems can be minimized with user education, as the manual process is available in either case. A submit button provides convenience, unless it doesn't work, and it won't for some users.

Problem in Webdynpro and Adobe form with signature field

Hi experts!
I have a problem with Signature Field in Adobe Form showed in a Web Dynpro Abap.
During the execution I fill the Signature field correctly but when I push any other button of the Webdynpro, the Adobe Form shows me the next error.
After click OK, the webdynpro is hang and not respond.
Any idea why not respond?
Thanks.

Hi friend,
Its not like that the Adobe created using SFP is non interactive.
We can create interactive forms using SFP transaction using java code.
I think it will be the problem with ADS just check with your basis people i think they will configure you the settings which works fine.
To check whether the settings are perfect you can try executing the standard programs FP_TEST_00 and
FP_PDF_TEST_00. If it works fine then some other problem exists else check with your basis team.
Just check this and revert me if you have any issues. I will help you
Thanks,

Add Digital Signature Using C# and Acrobat SDK

Hi everybody!
Please, how can I digitally sign PDF documents using Acrobat Professional 8 API and C# language?
I know that I need use JavaScript APIs (IAC) but I can't find anything really helpful in the Acrobat SDK Documentation. Could anyone post a sample of how use javascript manipulation inside C# (Framework 2.0), or give me a direction?
Thank in advance!

Hi Felipe,
