Adobe Signature Invalid - What Gives???

I am trying to digitally sign forms for an application.   I click Advanced, Sign and Certify, and sign the document like I always have. However, after signining, a grey box pops up that says "There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."   However, I am saving the doc as a different name alreay, and it's not read only or open by someone else.
When I close and reopen the document, the document is digitally signed and the signature looks like it always has. However, at the top of the page, there is a a blue signature panel that says "at least one signature is invalid." When I click the signature panel there is an option to "Validate All."   However, when I click it, nothing happens.
How do I fix this?   I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 8.1
Thanks!

I changed the drive to remove the read-only permissions. I can edit other kinds of files in the drive. I still get a message that I cannot apply the signature. It's a Dropbox file. I tried copying the file to a folder on my local drive, and it worked this time. I'll see if it recurs.

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

Hi Doctoromaka,
Are you unable to delete pages from any PDF, or is the problem specific to one file? If it's just one file, is it possible that the document has permissions applied that would prevent you from modifying the file? (You would see "SECURED" in the title bar of the PDF if it's been secured.) (Also, make sure that the file is open in Acrobat Pro, not Adobe Reader--I always have the two open simultaneously, and sometimes don't realize which one I'm working in.)
If the problem is widespread, what's changed on your system?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Adobe XI when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign

when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign, have downgraded to Adobe X, no options show. Have upgraded back to XI no change. Free software I am using currently.

There are two types of signatures in PDF: electronic signatures, which are just images (stamps, text, image) and digital signatures.
If you want to use electronic signatures in Acrobat XI go to Fill&Sign->Place Signature. If a drag rectangle for the digital signature dialog comes up, you have selected digital signatures and Acrobat/Reader remembered it. Cancel it, go back to Fill&Sign->Place Signature and click a triangle to the left of "Place Signature". Then click on "Changed Saved Signature" and select the electronic signature type you want to use.
If you want to use digital signatures you can create custom digital signature appearance. Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Creation&Appearance->More. In the "Appearances" section click "New". You will be presented with the dialog that allows you to create a custom appearance. If you want to put there your picture or image of your ink signature, you need to prepare this image as a file beforehand, select "Image" radio button, browse to the location of your image file. In Reader you can use only PDF as your image file. In Acrobat you can use many more file formats: JPEG, PNG, etc.

This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
Launch the browser and open the PDF.
Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
Perform your steps to cause the crash.
Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
Thanks in advance for all your help

You will need to contact Adobe directly:

When you install or update software you will often be asked for permission to change the system. This will need your computer's administrator password, chosen when the computer was switched on the very first time. It is nothing to do with the Adobe password.

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Then launch Photoshop Elements Organizer

Enter your ID and password
In the installation dialog click Install

Newest ACR 5.5 Update will not load into Elements 7.0 - what gives?

Hello All:
This situation is now becoming ridiculous (well, for me that is). I just tried to install the new ACR 5.5 update and it is "unable to install" into Elements 7.0. I downloaded the update several times, unzipped the install file, but when trying to install, it just gives me a message that it is unable to install and to hit the "quit" button.
I have a Vista 64 Bit system with 12 Gigs of RAM. I've installed Elements 7.0 and the newest Lightroom 2.5 update on my system - all with no problems. As an aside, for some reason, I could never get Photoshop CS-4 to install at all and I've been through the mill trying to install Photoshop - but nothing worked and had to eventually give up. Trying to get Adobe support for CS-4 installation on my 64 Bit system has been ridiculous in this regard as each and every time I called, I was connected with some techrep located in India who all they did was "parrot" back what I told them - how frustrating. But as I mentioned, Elements 7.0 and Lightroom installed just fine.
The previous ACR 5.4 installed just fine into Elements 7.0, but now...ACR 5.5 will not install. It tells me that I do NOT have CS-4 installed so it cannot install. What's up with that? Has Adobe stopped supporting the latest ACR upgrades for Elements? What gives?
Does anybody just have just the newest ACR 5.5 plug-in by itself that they can send me so I can just put it in my plug-ins folder (or a place where I can download it)? Adobe used to just have the plug-in that you could unzip and copy and paste and put it into your plug-in folders - but not anymore. Now they make it an 82 Meg install program and thus some of my problems.
Can anybody help here? Why does the install program look for CS-4, yet overlook Elements 7.0 completely. Helpppppppppp.
Ben

First off, did you download the right Camera Raw 5.5? If you go to the Camera Raw 5.5 updates page, I think the downloadable there is for Photoshop. There should be a line that has a link to a Photoshop Elements download page.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4582
If you installed ACR before then you know the procedure. Just in case you don't, try this:
Here's what I do for ACR installs:
I navigate to the PSE/Plugins/file formats folder.
I rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi.old
I download the ACR 5.5
Right-click on the zipped folder and select Extract All...
I right-click on and select copy for the Camera Raw.8bi file
I then right-click in an open area of the File Formats folder and select Paste.
I open PSE6 and drag a couple of NEF's to it. ACR opens and shows the NEFs ready for editing.
That's it. My understanding has always been that installing ACR updates is not your normal 'install' like with other programs. It's a copy/paste of one file.
Hope that works for you....
Regards,
dale
