Adobe X signatures and workflows?

I would like to set up a document that starts at person A. If A signs the document, it goes to B. if B signs, it goes to C for final approval.
I've got the PDF set up with the three signatures. How would I set up the workflow for this?

This is a known issue and we are working on it. It will be fixed and released in one of the upcoming versions. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Digital Signature and workflow functionality in Enh Pack

We are working in ECC 6.0 environment. Recentaly we have activated Enh Pack 3 and 4 in our system. After that I can couple of additional QM functionality in system. SAP has provided few more settings in SPRO to activate digital signature in QN and workflow in standard peace.
I would be wonder if anyone has used those function in standard system without any custom development.
How can we use/ activate those (digital signature for QN and workflow) functionality? Reply appreciated.

SAP IMG > Quality Management> Quality Notifications> Notification processing> Specify Digital Signature
Give details like
Level -Header /Task Notification Type
Business
   Transaction
Signature Type
Strategy
Enter the Business Transaction: like PMM2 for Put notification in process,PMM4 for Complete notification,     QN40 for Release Task etc
Depending on your configuration systems asks for digital signature when you set header level status or Task level status
Means if u set Digital signature for PMM2 for Put notification in process system prompts for Digital siganture.

Adobe interactive form and workflow attachment

I use an ABAP webdynpro to trigger a WF. The WD is an interactive adobe form step for users to enter data. Then before triggering the WF, I would like to save the form as an PDF form so I can send it to the subsequent work item processors. Is this possible? If yes, what do I need to do to make this happen.
Thanks.

Hi Raja,
If i understand well the only way to have Adboe forms in ABAP Wrokflow is to use ISR , that's right ?
Here's my scenario.
An User trigger with an abap program a Specific flow , then i send several mails with Adobe forms inside . Thoses forms are send back by mail and process by the abap system .
My problem is to make sure that all forms have been process and for this i had to develop a specific program in abap in order to check it.
So Is it possible to define a SAP Abap workflow where on each workitem i will add as attachment my pdf form . Then i can used standard Notification and Standard functionnality of reminding of ABAP Workflow.
Best regards.

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions?

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.

Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.
I only found this support website, so I have realized that this is a User 2 User site, but it was a try to get some help.

Adobe X Std - Electronic Signatures and Flattening Document

We are experimenting with Electronic signatures using Adobe X std. Once a signature is added to a document, we want to flatten the document so that the signature and all other annotations can not be changed. I have found the javascript code needed to flatten documents and it works fine for all annotations, but not for the signatures. After adding a signature and choosing to flatten the document, I get the error:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.flattenPages:266:App FlattenPages:Exec
I don't know what security settings or other changes are needed to prevent the error. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Validating signatures is the normal and most important thing about them. That is how they work. This is fundamental stuff which you must explain to the users of the document as surely as they need to know how to use a pen for paper signatures.
Consider: if you come upon a PDF that is signed by your boss, how do you know it is signed by your boss? Because the signature has his name on it? Hardly the proof needed to fire a man or release a million dollars.
But if your boss sent his public key to you before, you can check the signature in the file against the public key, and this is absolute proof. Validating has to be done every single time, otherwise it is like sending a paper document with "trust me, this one's fine" written on a sticky note.
However, a group of people can share signatures and arrange that validation is automatic when files are opened. Don't know the details.

Difference between Approval process signature strategy and Workflow

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to know the difference between the approval process and Business workflow. How both of them useful in PLM prospective ??
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
Approval or digital signature process in PLM involves creating authorization groups, signature strategies and assigning individual signatures to signature strategy groups.For example, to create digital signature for Engineering Manager, you create authorization group say ENGMGR and define it as individual signature and assign it to a signature strategy group.
Business workflow is used to automate a business process.For example,it can be used in PLM-DMS for document review process.This can be triggered by status change(has to be defined in customizing) in document.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pavana

MSS and workflow integration--Adobe forms

Hi ,
Can anyone send me some links on Workflow integrartion with MSS . I am looking out for MSS integration with Adobe forms ..
Regards
Abhilash

Hi Peter
This is probably more of a Forms question than workflow. At a very high level, in Apps, the workflow browser session is actually launched from a Forms session, some kind of socket connection is actually passed to the workflow session, so that when opening the new Form, it is opened in the existing applet.
Cheers

Hi,
we are building an application with web-enabled Forms 9i and Workflow 2.6.2 on Oracle 9i - and have an integration issue.
We want to include a link to Oracle Forms within a workflow notification so that the user can go directly to a particular screen in our Forms application. Including a URL to our forms application will invoke a new Forms applet on the client, but can we go to a new form in a Forms applet that is already running?
I've seen others ask the question in the forums but haven't seen any definitive responses. Oracle eBusiness Suite seems to have something like this - does anyone know how it was done and is it possible in stand-alone Workflow?
Any info. would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Photoshop CC extension with invalid signature and Photoshop default installed extensions cannot be loaded

I have a Creative Cloud subscription for Photoshop CC. All Creative Clouds products are updated to the latest versions. When I tried to install Tony Kuyper's TKActionv3 Photoshop extension using the Adobe Extension Manager CC on my PC desktop, I received an error message the extension contained an invalid signature and wouldn't be installed. I had previously installed the extension on my laptop without any problems. At the same time, I also noticed the default installed Photoshop CC extensions (e.g., Adobe Exchange, Kuler, Mini Bridge, Behance) could not be loaded using the Windows/Extension command. I receive an error message that the command could not be completed because the extension could not be loaded. After contacting Tony Kuyper, he suggested that I try the steps mentioned in the following weblink: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6029768. The steps basically consist of uninstalling and reinstalling all the Creative Cloud apps associated with Photoshop CC. I tried the steps multiple times, but I am still having the same problems. I can find the default installed Photoshop CC extensions on my machine, so I don't know why they can't be loaded.
I posted this question in the Extension Manager group. Should I also post it in the Adobe Photoshop group?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mark Curtis

Zhihong,
I received your e-mail with the questions below. I answered some of your questions: answers in red and underlined. In addition to posting in the forum, I also replied to your e-mail address, but the message was returned as undeliverable. What e-mail address should I use for sending you the log files.
Thanks,

Hi Mark,
Here is a workaround to make the extension display again:
You can bypass the check for extension signature by editing the CSXS preference properties file, located at:
• Win: regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.5
• Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.5.plist
Add a new entry “PlayerDebugMode” of type "string" with the value of "1". And then restart Photoshop and try again. Please let us know if this work around can work.
And could you please help to offer following information for us to find the root cause? Thanks:
1. Which PS version are you using? On what platform, Windows or Mac OS? Photoshop CC (64-Bit) 14.2.1 x64, Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit)
2. The extension cannot be loaded since when? 5/25/2014
3. What is the version of imslib.dll/.framework and PlugPlugOwl.dll/.framework? It locates at path like “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)”. 7.0.0.145, 4.2.0.36
4. Can you get the CSXS log and send it to us? Please add a “LogLevel” key with value “6” in registry (PS should be restarted for the log level change to take effect):
• Win: regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.5
• Mac: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.5.plist
Then restart PS and the log file will be generated at:
• Win: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\csxs5-PHSP.log
• Mac: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Logs/CSXS/csxs5-PHSP.log
Thanks!

Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows link in Windows START Menu fails

I just recently purchased the Adobe eLearning Suite 2 and I get an error message when I click on the following link:
Start - All Programs - Adobe eLearning Suite 2 - Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows
Error message is within an Adobe Air dialog box - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance.
The link points to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows\en_US\Main.exe"
My first question is: What happens when you click on this link? Is there any utility behind it that will help me in my workflows? Am I wasting my time to try and find out what this link does?
I reached out to technical support and after several calls and being tossed around to several departments, they ultimately said my version of Windows was not supported by eLearning Suite 2. One guy (Application Specific queue) said he tried it on his machine and got the same error but he couldn't help me because it was an installation issue and that I would have to open a sevice contract ($40.00) to get help with this problem and dumped me back to the installation folks who told me my machine was not supported. What the??
I found the support page for the suite and it just says "Windows 7." I opened up a CHAT dialog box on the same page and that person "Scott" told me that all versions of Windows 7 are supported for the suite.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit on my PC. The eLearing Suite 2 website says the system requirements support "Windows 7." My assumption is that the suite is supported on my machine.
My next question now is: Is my Windows 7 version supported (Yes or No)? If so, then why doesn't the above mention link work?
If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate your help.

I have tried the above solution to no avail. It seems the root cause of the problem is incompatibility with the new version of AIR
Here's a link to another thread with the same problem
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/677258
Surely a multimillion dollar company like Adobe which is trying to be very customer orientated can afford to get the original creator of Workflows to provide an updated version of the program which will work with the latest version of AIR

How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature?

How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature? I've been using the signature feature for a while now and it works great and I'd like to use it on another computer. However, I forgot where I stored the signature. Adobe finds it with no problems (the signature pops up when I click "Place Signature"), but I have no idea where it is.

Digital signatures and combining PDFs in Acrobat X

I hope that one of you Acrobat gurus can help me out with one or more of these questions:
Is it possible to maintain digital signatures when inserting signed PDFs into another PDF?
Is it possible to remove a digital signature after a signature has been deleted from the page?
Is it possible to change the format of the date and time on a digital signature?

In the simplest sense a digital signature is a special checksum of all the bytes in the bytes in the PDF combined with all the bytes in the digital signature. If the document is changed in any way the checksum changes, so the signature becomes invalid. A valid signature ensures that the document hasn't changed since the signature was applied. That stuff that's shown on the signature field is irrelevant. It's just a pretty picture. The real stuff is going on inside the PDF where you can't see it.
Obviously it gets a lot more complext then this. The signature can be selectively applied so that the certain types of changes are allowed. A signature does not add real protection to a PDF, but Acrobat plays along with this scheme by trying to not allow changes that would invalidate the signature, and logging all modifications to the PDF.
1) There are ways to maintain the visual appearance of the signature on the page. If the permissions have been set to allow it the PDF can be flattened, which also partially removes much of the stuff that's going on internally. But this isn't always possible. I had to solve this problem once for a client, so I wrote a plug-in that strips the signature permissions from the PDF (I'll post this to www.pdfscripting.com sometime soon), after which the the PDF can be flattened, keeping the appearance. But of course, after this point the document has to be considered invalid. For example, if the document was a contract, the flattened version would be good for use in an analysis of say all contracts for a particular year, or for copying legal language to another contract, but it couldn't be used as the basis of a legal dispute.
2) I don't understand this one. Do you mean you're deleting the signature field and some of the internal digital signature stuff is still hanging around causing problems? If you own the signature (or the permissions allow), then a standard form reset will "Un-Sign" the PDF. Inserting PDF pages into another PDF will strip out all this info as well.
3) The stamp appearance is set at the time the stamp is applied, it cannot be changed after this point. It's a lot like a PDF stamp.

Digital Signatures in Workflow

Hi All,
We have a requirement, where we have to use digital signatures in workflow. It means, at each level the form should be signd digitally. Has anybody done this before?
Can we store the digital signature somewhere, and then set it dynamically at each step of workflow.
Thanks in Advance,
Amit

Hi Amit,
This is very much possible.
all you have to do, is store the keys of the signatures, in keyStore of the Visual Admin.
Then, programatically, you can fetch these signatures from the server & sign the document.
There are standard BAPIs provided for the same.
This process is called: Server-side digital signatures.
Please refer to this link of help-sap, for exact details:

WDJ Adobe 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?(SSL is mandatory?)
Can some one guide me on this?
Appreciate your help.
With regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Digital signatures can also be created and verified as of Adobe Reader 5.1. Users can use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to display and print files in PDF format, whose content and appearance correspond to the paper version, on a cross-platform basis. The prerequisites for this are the use of the new Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions and the replacement of SmartForms by Adobe Acrobat (this is still in development). SSF is not used.
Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions assign additional usage rights to electronic forms that were created with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Form Designer 5.0. Digital signatures are a type of usage right.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 can be downloaded free-of-charge from Adobe's Web site, and processes the usage rights that were embedded in PDF forms by the Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions.
for SSL service go through:[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/40cacc80-c1fc-2a10-f8b5-9e33b1829552]
