Adobe slow to open PDF with digital signature

Hi,
We have recently added a digital signature to our PDF reports for security. Adobe takes an age to open the PDF on some PC's but instant on others. Can anyone offer any assistance to this problem.
Thanks.

You may be correct. Just opened up a PDF on my home computer and it was almost instant and it was very quick to validate the signature as well.
I have the latest version on my home PC but the work one is an old version of adobe reader for sure. I will try tomorrow and let you know.

Dynamic PDFs with Digital Signatures?

LCD 9 – Acrobat 9 standard/Pro
Looking for the definitive answer on this one. My PDFs have a need to be both dynamic and use multiple digital signatures. For now I design as static with multi dig sig and deal with break-out forms and such via a portfolio.
It would be nice if I could design a form that has both flowable sections (think dynamically added rows in a table using script, or even simple textfields that expand as you fill them up via flowed content areas) and these digital signatures. As soon as I make that PDF dynamic the signatures are immediately invalidated as the form shows changes.
Is there any workaround to this? Some of the process I have to design for need flowed fields, and all require digital signatures on the form. We use Entrust as the security for dig sig - and that will not change so cannot use any inherent Adobe signature security methods.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Yes, the file was created for Acrobat 10, but other than the warning you see on file open it will behave the same way in 9.x as it does in 10. However that said, you don't want to look at the file in Acrobat because you can't edit it or see the layout there. You need to view the file in LiveCycle Designer which gets installed along with Acrobat, and when you do get the file open in Designer it won't complain. Once you get the file open in Acrobat select the Forms > Edit Form in Designer menu item and that's where you can see the properties used to get page flow to work.
I've attached another copy without any data that won't complain when you open it in Acrobat. It is for all intents and purposes the same file, the only reason there are fewer pages is due to the lack of data in the table.

PDF with Digital Signatures

I am currently using classic asp and I need to fill out an existing pdf with data from the database. The form also contains two signatures. I just need to fill in the form, save it so I can email it to the the customer. I tried using the fdf toolkit - but my form has text fields that can be 20 characters or 4000. The multiline function in adobe forms isn't working correctly and it cuts it off when you print.
I could create the form in livecycle, and generate the data in xml, but I am so new to adobe, I don't know how to programatically load the file and save it to the server.
I have another program I've tried where I can generate fdf code I think it's fpdf (the php version that was changed to asp) - but I need to know how to generate a digital signature.
I've tried pdftk - I tried to merge the data with the signature - but ended up with permission issues.
I have been working on this problem for several weeks and could really use some help.

Bill,
I'm trying to create a dynamic document using data from the database to generate the pdf, the pdf also needs to containg two signatures for signing. I've looked at every way possible to do this. Currently, my greatest success has come from using the fdf toolkit, but the sizing of the fields (could be 20 chars, could be 4000 chars) leaves me with a very ugly form.
The form I am using already contains the two signature blocks - but I am at a loss on how to populate a pdf form that resides on the webserver with data from the database.
Bill, can you help?

Print MS Access report to PDF with digital signatures.

I know it is possible to print a Microsoft Access report to a PDF file. However, we need to be able to add digital signatures to the resulting PDF. Is it possible to predefine the PDF signature fields in the Access database so that when the report is printed to PDF it is ready from employees to sign off on the PDF?

This is doable with the ability to do a security.importfromfile which provides the ability to import a certificate.
This is critical.
Just create the PDF and then open it up in Access. Be sure to have a reference to the Acrobat Type library.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X - Pages options grayed out on PDFs with digital signatures

When we apply a signature to a PDF in Acrobat Pro X, it disables all the options (e.g., rotate, delete, replace, etc.) except for "Extract". This was not an issue with Acrobat v8. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

That's because all of the operations you mentioned that are disabled, if run, would invalidate the signature. The bug was in version 8 in that we should never allowed the user to modify the signed bytes and break the signature.

PDF by email in 46C with digital signature

Hi all,
can anyone tell me if it is possible to send a PDF with digital signature from SAP in 4.6C?
I'm converting a spool order into PDF document, and send it by email using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1..
Best Regards,

Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?

Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

Doc size with digital signature

i've got 2 questions, please help:
1) why do .pdfs with digital signatures have such large file size? how can i reduce the size?
2) why do .pdfs with digital signature become text non-searchable?
thnx
brg

actually the same signature size isn't such a problem when using Adobe software, but when using pdfCreator, the size increases... pls don't give me lectures on using another software, i need A5 and Adobe doesn't provide it...
so i guess it's the problem within that other pdf maker...
why i need to pdf print the file? one reason is i can print it ( otherwise signatures don' show, protection i guess), the other reason to protect the signatures that for that specific reason only need to be seen.
thnx.

Form 16 With digital signature giving adobe document corrupted output

Dear All,
We have configured ads and implementing form 16 with digital signature,we have done the all configuration as per SAP Guide and dezso blogs,but when generating the form 16 with digital signature its giving
"Adobe reader could not open _xxxxx.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or corrupted,
we have done the same configuration in dev its working fine and prd its not working,request you to please provide the solution for the same.
as per some check list i have cheked ads_https is working fine,but when executing the report fp_pdf_test_00 with rfc ads_https its asking for user name and password,we have maintained the same user name and password for abap and java for both adsuser and ads_agent still same issue,
pelase suggest.
please find attached screenshot for your reference.
Regards,
Basis

This can be done but you must use the Document Form var to route the signed pdf. You must configure the FormGuide submit button to 'Submit from PDF' in Guide Builder.
Also the button on the form must be configured to submit as 'PDF' (not XDP). This change is done when you open the form in designer.
Note that after you have submitted the signed pdf you will be dealing with a pdf subsequently.
Attached is a sample FormGuide.

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time. How do I get around this?

I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs. When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions. Thanks.

Formatting .pdf documents with digital signature block

I have created a 2007 MS Access database that exports reports to .pdf format. The reports look great and all works well. The issue I have now is finding a way to automatically apply to a signature block to the reports after they are created. Is there some sort of code format or text I can add to the report prior to it being exported to a .pdf file where Adobe will recognize it as a digital signature block, and create a digital signature block on the form? Several of these forms will be created daily and it would not be productive to manually add signature blocks to every single report.
