Applying an ink signature with a pen tablet

I have a bamboo pen tablet that I use to apply signatures to pdf documents. However, the signatures are in red, and I can't find any way to change the pen color. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Found it! Go to the comment and markup menu and then...

Drawings with Wacom Pen Tablet in CS5

I am aged 66.One of my contacts(22yrs, who is an artist can visualise scenes and draw
sketches) and photographer(also doing 2nd year diploma in photography) has shown me the following
image and asked how could this be created. I have reasonably good command in cs5(Why writting
reasonably is I find stalwarts here in the forum). I have basic exposure in AI by virue of purchasing
the Production premium CS5.I am sure best drawings are drawn in AI. I did not till date seen how a
Wacom tablet works.The person for whom I am writting this is an upcoming personality with great zeal
for learning . With my little knowledge in Wacom pen Tablets, I told him that this can also be done
in Photoshop with Wacom Pen tablet.I want confirmation for my statement. I will be thankful if
someone states that brushes in CS5 are sufficient or any more are to be purchased if so links for it.__Bosu Babu

I'm just looking to get a Wacom Intuos 4 myself, so no practical experience here yet, but...
A YouTube search for "how to create cartoon in photoshop" turns up a lot of recordings of people doing just what you're asking.

Need help for a problem with Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet and LR5

When using the advanced spor removal tool in LR5 using the pen of a Bamboo tablet it only goes in straight lines and reacts very sluggish!
When I use finger input on the same tablet (usingit then as a touchpad), the tool behaves normally and very responsive. If I go in any direction or try to paint an area it just follow and updates instanlty.
Is it an LR5 bug or problem with the pen tablet drives?!
I'm running a core i7 Thinkpad, 8 gigs of RAM.. Windows 8.1 Pro..

Have you read that?

Browser-embedded Adobe Reader doesn't permit ink signatures

I'm not sure if this is a feature, a bug or just an annoyance, but we are unable to apply ink signatures to a PDF displayed within a browser window. The same PDF displayed in a standalone Adobe Reader 9 window will allow for ink signatures to be applied to it. Why can documents in browser windows not be ink signed?
This is problematic for us because we are deploying a web-based application which collects a signature on a PDF form, which then contains a button to proceed to the next step and save the form on the server. Using Adobe Reader standalone to view and sign the PDF breaks the functionality of the form and prevents the form being saved correctly.
Colleagues developing the application report that it works successfully using a plugin for a singature pad, but we are using a tablet PC (motion C5) with a pen to apply the ink signature. There does not appear to be a plugin for this. However, we know we can apply ink signatures in standalone Adobe Reader, we simply want the same functionality in the browser-embedded window.
So far, all suggestions we have received involving buying either alternative hardware or alternative software. Neither is very helpful. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround using Adobe Reader? Thanks.

i don't remember how it was formulated exactly. there was no printing option found. that was on my other computer (with XP). but on Windows 7 it won't even open, i'm not even talking about printing, because i wouldn't know. the window simply blank, inactive and immediately closes. online documents load....and in the end just black window or blank Reader page. In IE it gives me "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/ Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (15:3)" - every time...

Paint brush tool doesn't work with my Wacom tablet

My new pen tablet works well except when I try to use the paint brush tool. I was using NIK Color effects pro plug in and when I select the paint brush mode it didn't work. So I just tied the paint brush tool without going thru NIK and it still didn't work with the pen tablet. There must be something I haven't set correctly but can't figure it out.
Other tools work just fine such as the patch tool, etc. Any ideas?

try reseting the paint brush and download the newest driver from Wacom

Why can't I draw using my pen tablet in Flash?

I can draw with my pen tablet in Photoshop, but not Flash! I have a Yiynova tablet monitor that works excellent for drawing in Photoshop, but when I try to draw in Flash I get this odd straight line that goes straight off my canvas. Is this because Flash can't recognize my pen? I can still use the shape tool, and other parts the program by clicking around. But the second I try to draw, I only get this weird line --->

Hi,
This issue is fixed in latest Oct update of Flash Pro CC 2014. The new version is 14.1.0.96. Please check if you have this version.
If the issue is still happening, Can you please provide the following information
Flash Pro Version Number
Tablet model
Tablet driver version Number
Mapping mode set for the tablet ,Is it PEN mode or MOUSE mode.
----------------If its Mouse mode pressure and tilt does not work. Please set the mapping mode to PEN.
Also check what is the compatibility mode set : RightClick the FlashPro Application Shortcut -> Properties > Compatibility and checking the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option.
There was similar issue reported on Re: Sensibility on flash cc 2014. Check if this helps.
PS : Generally updating to the latest wacom driver and restarting the system and Flash Pro resolves most of the issue.Please try this once.Latest wacom drive can be downloaded fromhttp://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/

Windows 8 / pen tablet incompatibility

I'm coming from Photoshop CS3 on Win 7, which worked completely fine with my pen tablet (Bosto Kingtee 19MA), up to CS6 in Win 8.1 on a new computer.
The problem is: The pen works in literally every single application on this new system except Photoshop CS6 (not kidding, it even works in games). I'm pretty certain that this is a compatibility issue with a pen driver within Photoshop which is overriding the standard Windows Pen Tablet driver. And I was wanting to know how to disable the Photoshop pen driver and force it to use the standard Windows driver.
Now for specifics:
- Updating the pen tablet driver is not an option. Bosto appears to have no intention of releasing another driver for this tablet model and the existing driver mostly uses resources already in windows for settings, calibration and etc...
- The behavior of the pen in Photoshop is consistently different from the behaviors detailed in the windows settings (and the behaviors in other windows applications), which is why I'm sure that this issue has to do with a setting of some kind in how Photoshop is configured.
- The cursor follows the pen on-screen, but does not respond correctly to contact or the operation of the secondary click button on the pen within only the Photoshop window. I've tried this with a separate mouse unplugged and also plugged-in and there was no change in behavior.
What I've done:
- Reinstalled the pen tablet driver with the latest (dated May 2013)
- Restarted the computer
- Checked the windows pen and tablet settings.
- Verified that those settings are being ignored by Photoshop
- I'm presently avoiding reinstalling Photoshop because it was just installed. The pen driver was installed prior to Photoshop, and reinstalled after. There was no change in functionality.
- I've attempted to update Photoshop but it is reporting that the servers are down.
- Related: I've manually un-blocked Photoshop from Windows Firewall - and there was no change.
So I'm wondering if there is an update or patch which allows Photoshop to use the standard Windows pen driver (even at the cost of pressure/angle resolution), a config file I can edit to make it look at a different driver, or is there something else I can try.

ISSUE RESOLVED:
For others who may encounter this issue:
These are the steps which I found worked:
1. Search C:\ for "wintab32.dll", this is a Wacom driver packaged with windows (I thought it was the Windows Standard pen driver, but it is not!). You must remove this .dll file for the Bosto Kingtee 19MA tablet to work in Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8 or 8.1.
Also: There are two instances of this file in windows! Be sure to only remove the one in Wow64, not the one in the System32 directory. (I'm using a 64 bit OS, and I'm not going to make any assumptions about this situation in a 32 bit environment.)
2. Run the TouchPanel Bosto driver installer again, this replaces the Wintab driver... apparently somehow...
3. Manually Install the following updates for CS6: (do not use the Application Manager, it doesn't seem to catch these updates (on my system at least))
(Starting from the bottom with 13.0.1.1 and going up in order by date)
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.3 update for CS6
26.2MB
11/7/2013
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.2 update for CS6
26.1MB
6/3/2013
Dynamic Link Media Server 1.0.1 Update for Windows
36.5MB
10/8/2012
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.1 update for Adobe Photoshop CS6
22.6MB
9/27/2012
4. Restart Computer after the 13.0.1.1 update per the dialogue box's request.
5. After the 13.0.1.3 update is installed, the Bosto tablet should be working in Photoshop and Win 8.1!
Important Note:
Pressure sensitivity-controlled brush size might not work particularly well, HOWEVER the pen input appears sufficiently functional enough for applications such line work and basic tap-equivalent-to-left-mouse-click functions (which is all I need it to do anyway). There may be some other settings pertaining to pressure gradients, but at this point I'm just glad to have this input tool back!

Pop-up menu & Pen Tablet

In the System Preferences with QuickClicks/Pen Tablet, there is an option to add items to a pop-up menu. I can assign tasks to that option, but can never get the pen (Axiotron, in this case) to show those tasks as a pop-up menu anywhere. What am I missing? Thanks.

Good luck!

Javascript for "apply ink signature"?

Is there a way to use javascript to direct a signature field to only allow an ink signature for that field? The PDFs I'm trying to create for my work only need to have the ink signature that we'll be obtaining from clients who will sign on a tablet pc, so I was wondering how to make it the only option since using an ID seems to be the default. I don't have a lot of experience working with PDFs so if anyone can give me any advice or point me in the direction of a good tutorial it would be appreciated as my searches don't seem to be yeilding good results for me today.

Hi,
Prepare to dive into the deep end of the geek pool...
I guess it all depends what you mean by an "ink signature". If you mean a biometric digital signature then you can force the use of the biometric signature handler by assigning a seed value to the signature field. If you are talking about applying a stamp that was created from a scanned image of a signature, then no. As a bit of background, when in the Forms Create or Edit mode, and you are adding a Signature field, it really means a digital signature. Applying digital signature is a cryptographic operation and requires the use of Public-Key Certificate or a biometric capture device (e.g. a signature capture device like you see when using a credit card in a store) and not just a stamp.
However, if you are using a public key certificate you can force the use of a named signature appearance (again via the use of a seed value), and as long as you get Acrobat/Reader set up with the correctly named custom signature appearance you can force the user to use that appearance. If the appearance is composed of a signature image (not unlike how you create a custom stamp) then you can get the digital signature to look like it was signed with an ink signature.
And if you are interested in how to apply a seed value it's done using JavaScript and the built-in JavaScript console in Acrobat Professional.
Yeah, I know it all sounds like a foreign language.

Apply Ink Signature Option Grayed-Out

Why would other computers except mine within my company who have the most recent Reader installed not be able to access the "apply ink signature" option under "extended?" I have enabled extended features.

Hi Aimaob,
Are you using an English version of Acrobat? The reason I ask is because there is no "Extended" menu item in version 11 and I'm wondering if there is a translation issue here. Also. the Place Signature tool on the I Need to Sign tool panel doesn't ask you to drag out a rectangle (that's a differnt tool), rather it initially brings up the Place Signature dialog where you can create a signature annotation in several different formats, one of which is Draw my signature. Once you've create a signature image the next time you click on the Place Signature tool the signature appearance is displayed as a stamp that can be resized after you apply it.
The drag out a signature rectangle dialog pops up when you open the Work with Certificates tool panel and then select the Sign with Certificate tool.

Problems with ink signatures

I used InDesign CS6 to design a fillable PDF form to be distributed via Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When testing, I have no issues with the form fields or digital signatures. However, for this form, we would like the recipient to be able to use the "apply ink signature" feature. Whether the file is reader enabled with extended features or not, I experience two problems.
One is receiving this message: "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out." However, one can simply close the message and apply the signature.
However, the signature is not visible at the sender's end once the form is submitted.
Working for a nonprofit, we are not in a position to purchase a second EchoSign license. (The "parent organization" supplies the first license.) I have found another solution, but I would like to know what I am doing wrong because I assume my problems are a result of user error.
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

Mr. Johnson,
I just sent another test. The document contains no digital signatures. I also did not save as Reader Extended with enabld features. I still received the same error message that I mentioned above. Could you offer further assistance?

Apply Ink Signature On A Secured PDF Issue

I have created a simply form with Adobe Acrobat 9.
It has a single signature box.
I then set the security permissions to allow only viewing and set my password. I ensure that Commenting and Signing and printing are permited.
I then reader extend the file in Acrobat 9.
When I open the PDF in Reader 9.2 I can click the signature box and sign the document. I can also use the commenting tool as normal.
The problem is when I click on Document->Sign->Apply Ink Signature, which is lit up and clickable, nothing happens.
Have I missed a step, or have I found a bug?

Hi,
It looks like a bug to me, thanks for pointing it out. Don't expect a fix though until the next major release of Acrobat (and no, I can't provide you with a date).

Apply Ink Signature

I am using Windows 7 & Acrobat XI. When I opened the form, clicked "Extended" -> "Apply Ink Signature", the cross-hair cursor showed up, but nothing was displayed when I drew on the form. Strangely, sometimes, after a few minutes or so, I tried drawing on the form again, and this time, it worked. But when I tried to drag or resize the signature, nothing happened.
I also tried clicking "Place Signature". The message "Using your mouse, click and drag to draw the area where you would like the signatue to appear.. ..." is displayed. When I clicked the mouse on the form, the message "A signature was not created. To sign the document hold down the mouse button and drag out the area of the document in which you would like the signature to appear." popped up. Every time I clicked the mouse, this message appeared over and over again.
Is there anyone experiencing the same problems? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X i.e. my Wacom Tablet software. Do I have to a new Wacom Tablet or is there a way to update my existing software for it?

After installing Yosemite, I got this message 'this version of Pen Tablet Preference is not compatible with this version of OS X ie my Wacom Tablet Software. Can it be made compatible without buying a new Wacom Tablet?

Ive just downloaded a Driver update from Wacom for my Tablet so hopefully this has resolved this problem.
