Applying Ink Signature

Hi Guys,
Requirement: We need to provide "Apply Ink Signature" (AIS)
functionality in PDF reader document to the end user.
This feature is available with Adobe Pro 9.1 version.
Problem: When I open the pdf document in IE browser "AIS"
Feature is not visible in the tool bar, same is working fine with
Adobe Reader 9.1.
System Config:
Browser: IE 7
Plug-in/ActiveXObject: AcroPDF.PDF.1 returns true
WebApp: ASP.Net 2.0
Web Server: IIS 6.0
Please let me know how to make it visible "AIS" in IE
browser.
Thanks
Indra

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Ink Signature

    Is it possible to import a signature from a file (like a .tif file) and place it in a .pdf document using Acrobat X?
    I also use Nitro version 7 and this feature is easily provided and seccurely provided.
    I understand Digital IDs and do have one but an ink (wet) signature is often the only valid form allowed when including a .pdf document in an email.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ken

    Hi George. The process of flattening is part of the answer. It does resolve the security issue of 'permanence' to having the signature part of the document integrated into the paper and not being able to be 'lifted' or edited. However, the question of how to 'paste' the signature into the document in the first place remains. I understand that this can be done with the 'pencil' or as part of the integrated 'Apply Ink Signature' but signing using a mouse is a challenge in dexterity. Admittedly an input device like a stylus or actual inking pen with the right driver can accomplish this. I do like the Nitro approach that allows a file to be inserted and securely at that. Since it is graphic in nature (either .tif or .gif) it can be sized. It is easy to create a signature on a piece of paper and then scan it as a file to be used and is a much more realistic representation of your real signature than one done with a mouse or even a stylus on a vertical screen.
    Thanks for the info on the flattening tool; it is in my 'tool box'.

  • 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...

  • How to Create a PDF Document and apply Digital Signature in C# using the Adobe SDK?

    Hi Everybody!
    I have to do two distinct tasks here:
    1) How can I create a PDF document using the Adobe SDK in my .NET Applications(C# - 2.0)?
    I just need a basic sample to create a document with a simple text, for example. I did not find any useful information in the adobe documentation. I have the Acrobat Professional 8.0 in my computer, but it's very dificult to work whith de Acrobat.dll and .NET with a poor documentaion.
    2)How can I apply digital signature in a existent pdf document?
    I need to sign documents using the SDK, just a basic sample in c# would be helpful to start!
    Anybody could help?
    Thank in advance!

    Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
    I will explain better my problem:
    I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
    That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
    Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
    Thank you very much!

  • Applying a signature to Acrobat 9 Pro cause it to close.

    Whenever I try to apply a signature to a PDF it causes Acrobat I get an error window that reads, "The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read"". Acrobat then closes and when I re-open it and try to work on the same document if I click on the signature I get another message stating that the signature, "contains incorrect, unrecognized, corrupt, or suspicious data, support information: SigDict/content ilegal data". The certs on the user's PKI are good, and are the same ones that are in the signature. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I see you have the TerraGo Toolbar installed in your image
    I have found that the TerraGo Toolbar conflicts when trying to digitally sign a PDF file - I have not figured out why.
    The only solution I have so far is to uninstall the TerraGo Toolbar.

  • Digital signatures and wet ink signatures

    HI all,
    I am in the process of converting our paper checklists into fillable pdf forms.  Everything is working well, but Im trying to get my head around digital signatures.
    Ideally I just want to click the signature part, choose a user from a list, enter the password and the 'wet ink' signature that is scanned in gets added to the form.
    So on my laptop I setup a new appearance for my signature, scanned my signature and added it to my digital signature.  Perfect.
    Problem is, I want to be able to use this on other computers.  I copied the digital signature .pfx file and imported it on that new computer, which worked, but it drops the 'wet ink' signature and appearance.
    It also appears that anyone can create a digital ID on my laptop and choose my wet ink signature appearance, and sign the document which makes it appear as if I have signed it.  I was hoping the wet ink signature was locked with the digital signature but it appears this isnt the case.
    Im trying to find the best way to store our signatures (we are all on a network), so that any user can use any computer and ideally lock the wet ink signature to the digital signature.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    It doesn't work for everyone, but if you are considering moving to the world of digital signatures, it's best to forget the signature appearance ("wet"). This is just a distraction to the actual signature, and it encourages a deeply flawed workflow: one where people look at the picture on the page rather than learning about digital signatures and how to verify them. Since digital signatures are (if done properly) unfakeable and (in some places) legally recognised, it is best to completely change workflow, rather than trying to give the illusion it is just an electronic version of a paper workflow.

  • How do I switch from a digital signature back to an "ink" signature

    Reader 11.0.10
    Had a doc that required a certificate signature, so I created and used one.
    Now I want to go back to using my "ink" signature... how do I do that?
    (In a fresh document, if I clock on "Place Signature" button it begins the digital process)

    I am in the process of updating all of my organization's PDF forms and creating an environment to digitally share them. The problem that I am running into is these forms have been created by many people by various means. I have found that some forms, when opened with Adobe Reader XI, will not allow me to place a digital signature - neither drawn or with a certificate. Some forms will let me use a digital certificate but not a drawing. I have no idea what settings are different across these different forms that would cause what seems to be different permission levels for different forms.
    This is also present when I'm using iOS Adobe Reader - on some forms the signature pen tool is available and on others it isn't. On the ones that it isn't, I can still use the freehand draw tool, but that doesn't work as well as the signature tool.
    All of these forms are fillable and savable. Thoughts?

  • How to automatically go to an ink signature

    Hello,
    I'm working on creating a document that is used on tablet computers.  I need the client to sign the form with their signature.  Since these are tablet pc's we use ink signatures.  I want to be able to setup my form so when they click the signature box it will automatically let them sign it with the pen instead of trying to do a digital signature.  Also I would like to be able to have it switch back to curser once I click out of the box so they can continue filling out the form.  I'm not sure if any of this is possible.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    Thank you!

    I went through all the possible commands that can be used with the textArea and ScrollPaneSo did I when I wanted to do the job the first time :-)
    But thanks to the friendly people here in the forum, I could get along.

  • Anyone Know How To Capture Digital Ink Signatures, Within  a PDF Form?
