Appearance of Digital Signature/Common Name

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Professional 8.1.2 and I'm able to create a digital signature except that it's appearance is broken up.  For instance if my name "Maryann Doe" it appears on documents as:
Marya
nn Doe
It's broken up and I can't find way to fix this.  I also have another signature that uses my computer login name of "ABCDE" as my common name. I can't find a way to change that either to input my real name.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi,
For the first problem (word wrap).  The problem you are encountering is if "Maryanne Doe" is too long to fit in half of the signature field, the text wraps to the next line. The signature appearance that is written into the signature field consists of two halves. The left half contains the graphic properties and the right half contains the text properties.
You need to lengthen the width of the area where the graphics portion of the signature is contained. You can do this one of two way. Either lengthen the physical dimensions of the signature field before you sign. Or, you could create a custom signature appearance where you turn off all of the text properties, which has the effect of giving the whole signature fields over to the graphics portion. To play with custom signature appearances:
Select the Edit > Preferences (Win) or the Acrobat > Preferences (Mac) menu item
Select Security from the Categories list box
Click the New button in the Appearance group box
If you select the No Graphic radio button you give all of the space to the text portion. If you deselect all of the checkboxes in the Configure Text area, you give all of the space to the graphics portion.
While you are in the Preferences dialog, select Identity from the Categories list box. Go ahead and fill in all of the editable fields. This is where the data is procured during the creation of a self-signed digital ID. I think that will fix the second issue you raised.

  • Appearance of Digital Signature in Adobe Acrobat 8

    I am creating a digital Signature in Adobe Acrobat 8 and am having difficulty getting all the information to appear clearly. The first example below shows, the signature, name and date. I would also like to include the name of the Company. The only way I have been able to do that is by clicking the “distinguished name” box in the appearance section of the digital signatures. An example of this signature is also shown below. However, additional information such as the name (again), email and country are also being listed. There are numerous abbreviations and equal signs now appearing as well. Ideally I would like the signature to look like the first one with the company name appearing just above the person’s name. Can anyone help me do this?
    Thank you!

  • Removing Appearances from Digital Signature

    Good afternoon.
    I'm trying to remove all the Appearances I've created while trying to perfect my image.  I tried the instructions given here http://forums.adobe.com/message/2717408 but I have been unsuccessful.  I went as so far to remove all the digital IDs but the Appearances are still there.  I am using Acrobat Pro X.  Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Jenn

    You can get the data and other signature properties using the  signatureInfo field method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.756.html
    But for you application you really should be setting the date field before the signature is applied, since changing it afterwards would invalidate the signature. You can execute a script that sets the valud of the data field with the current date using the "Signaute Signed" event, which you'll see as one of the tabs of the signature field properties dialog.

  • Placement and appearance digital signature

    I have a couple of questions about the placement and appearance of the digital signature.
    First the placement:
    Is it technically possible to place the digital signature after Word-fields when you convert Word to PDF/A? For example the { DOCPROPERTY "Name" }? Where the name is a custom field.
    Appearance:
    What I am trying to achieve is to get a digital signature appearance just like the one on an analog paper. Just the name, date and a picture of the analog signature (created by tablet, scan or mouse). Is it possible to get rid of the following:
    Question/check mark?
    The text "Digitally signed by"?
    The line with the attributes from the certificate?
    Thanks in advance!

    Conversion of Word->PDF (PDF/A) is a specific application process (be it Acrobat or some other program).   The visual appearance of the signature is defined by the application that you are using to sign the PDF.
    This forum is for PDF file format discussions not application ones - so try the forum for the program (Acrobat?) you are using.
    As a general answer - YES, you can put the signature anywhere on the page you want with whatever contents you want.

  • Digital signature properties field name via javascript

    I am creating secure digital signature fields with random number names with similar prefixes.  The idea is to have multiple fields available in a single regular PDF (non portfolio).  So on each sheet we sign 3 fields.  One field is a name, another is a date and the last is a release.  This goes on every sheet and the PDF would contain up to 1500 pages.  Adding a random number to the end of each field name was the only way to make this work....now I have a problem of finding the particular fields for my script to sign the sheets. 
    I am guessing that there must be some way to identify how many fields I have on a sheet and return the name of all the fields.  If I can get the name of all the fields I can use that info to run my script to place the digital signature appearances in their correct field.  My field names all begin with either 'Date', 'Sig' or 'RFC' followed by a random number to avoid duplicate fields.
    So in a nut shell, how can I find the names of the fields via JavaScript?
    Thanks you!

    Are you able to add another prefix, specifically using hierarchical field names that include the page number? For example, on page one the fields could be named:
    P1.Date[random number goes here]
    P1.Sig[random number goes here]
    P1.RFC[random number goes here]
    You can then get all of the P1 fields like this:
    var fields = getField("P1");
    and then use the getArray method to get an array of the individual field references and iterate through the array.
    Otherwise, you can loop through the fields and look at the page property of each to determine which ones are on which pages. You can use the getNthFieldName document method and numFields document property to do this.

  • Can I create an automatic custom file save name/path once I click digital signature field?

    Hi,
    What I'm trying to do is once I click on a digital signature and I add my digital signature it requires me to sign it.  I want to know if there's a workaround to where once I click it it will automatically save to a file name based on a field and to a pre-determined directory?  Say, if I want it to save to a users desktop.  My supervisor is wanting to eliminate his employees having to change the file name to the format he wants and selecting the save location and make it automatic for everyone to have it saved at the same location on their computers. 
    Will likely have everyone in the office create a folder named 'Leave Requests'.  This will be the location on the desktop where all these automatically saved files would go.  The custom file name would be Emp_Name + "Leave Request" + Date where Emp_Name and Date are 2 variables that are user inputted field values on the form.  I have looked around but there doesn't seem to be too much on this one.  I do realize I can't create a custom 'Save As' location and path name but I have read a little about creating a custom automatic save feature and wanted to know if I could implement that.  Here is the information I read about:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
    I appreciate all help any of you can give me in this matter.  Thanks!!!

    This tutorial is great!

  • Digital Signature and Annotation Appearance Stream

    Hello,
    I've noticed that adding an annotation on a pdf without specifying an appearance stream ( AP dictionary ) for that annotation, and then signing the document,
    will cause Acrobat to report that the document is Signed and all signatures are valid, but with Annotations Modified message under the signed revision in the signature panel.
    So is that behavior by acrobat, while appearance stream entry is optional in annotations ?

    Hello lrosenth,
    I was eble to add an ink annotation with an appearance stream, and then signing the document with digital signature goes fine with no problems
    ( No "Annotations Modified" ) message appearing in the signature panel, but adding a freetext annotation with an appearance stream and then signing, is causing acrobat to show "At least one signature requires validating" message in the signature bar, and by validating the signature manually by pressing "Validate All" in the signature panel, the original problem appears again stating "Annotations Modified". So is freetext annotations should be considered in a different way than other annotation types ?
    Thank you.

  • Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

    I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled.  When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name?  Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that.  I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)? 
    Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password?  That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me. 

    Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
    Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

  • Dynamic digital signature appearance

    I searched but it seems like the subject hasn't been treated.
    Ok, I've read "Digital Signature Appearance" by Adobe, and find out how to put my own image when displaying digital signatures.
    Looking at some tutorial from the iText authors, I saw that it is possible to specify different images to display on the signature validation
    status.
    This is a very cool feature, but unfortunately it is not documented at all in Adobe's documents... (I had to found a patent description document
    to get more info)
    Here is what I've discovered: the signature appearance is organized in several layers (4 defined by Adobe, the others by the document producer),
    painted sequencially when showing the document.
    What I'm looking for is the way to the various layers are used: one may be used when the signature validation status is unknown, another when
    the validation was successful and a last when it failed.
    For now, all my layers are painted, no matter of the signature validation.
    (description in "Dynamic preview of electronic signature" is on page 9)

    The multiple-layer model for digital signature appearances in PDF was deprecated and is no longer part of the ISO standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1).  The signature appearance is a STATIC thing - as it should be - and can not be changed "on the fly" by the content of the PDF.

  • Extract name from pdf digital signature

    I'm looking for info on extracting the digital signature name from a digitally signed field already in the pdf. I can see the signature when I open the file in Adobe Reader, but when I read the fields using cfpdfform, the digital signature field and its info is not listed amoung the fields.
    What procedure piece am I missing?

    Hi all,
    i have the same problem. Is it possible that only we have this problem? I found solutions with external partners, but i think it should be possible to do it inside SAP R/3, isn't it?

  • 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
    ASHISH

    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?

  • Digital signature prompt doesn't appear when case changes in URL

    Hi Everybody,
    I have a Java applet running from a website which is self-signed. Some users at my workplace have been complaining recently that they were no longer being prompted to accept the digital signature on the website and that a triangle with an exclamation mark would show up beside the login screen.
    I found that if those users changed the case of the URL (just one of the subfolders) they were able to get the warning message again. For example:
    If the user was accessing http://www.mycompany.com/Abc/Xyz/ and they changed that to say, http://www.mycompany.com/abc/xyz/ it would work.
    Is it possible that the certificate saved in the users profile is getting corrupt? And by changing the case of the URL it sends out a new warning screen?
    What causes the cache to become corrupt? Why is that some users can use any combination of upper and lower case letters in the URL and they will always be prompted for the digital signature (cannot be verified) and some won't be able to use the default but can use any other combination?
    I tried clearing the java cache and it started prompting me for the digital signature however I was wondering if there was another solution as this is going to become a big support problem.
    Thanks to all for your help.

    It looks to me like this has nothing to do with the digital signature prompt and everything to do with a badly formed URL. In a URL the domain name is not case sensitive but all the path information is case sensitive. Whether one should use http://www.mycompany.com/Abc/Xyz/ or http://www.mycompany.com/abc/xyz/ depends only on what the HTTP server expects. So which of these does the HTTP server expect?

  • Digital signature from Topaz not appearing in PDF

    Hi,
    I've created some PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI but I'm having problems attaching a digital signature using a Topaz signature pad.
    The user is using Acrobat X (not Reader).
    They are able to draw the signature box on the PDF and they can create the signature using the Topaz signature pad but then the signature doesn't get applied to the PDF (it just leaves the signature box blank).
    I've checked the security settings on the PDF and everything is set to Allowed including Signing.
    I've also tried the forms in Acrobat Reader (after enabling the Extended Reader options) with the same results.
    Not sure what the problem is.  The user can sign other PDFs (that I didn't create) using the Topaz signature pad.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Sebastian,
    We've had the same issue and found no solution for this. There just isn't a way to add an image to a by SAP generated PDF file. The only thing that did work was adding the image to a report and adding the report to the web template. In that case the image is printed but on a seperate page.
    Kind regards,
    Alex
