Are accessible multiple signatures in Acrobat XI Pro possible?

I'd like to access two saved signatures in Acrobat XI Pro but I haven't found an easy way to do it in order to use them for signing documents. Is this possible? If so, how? If I haven't created a digital ID or a digital certificate are my signatures considered digital signatures?

I am not sure what you mean by "access saved signatures." My guess is you've used a stamp or some other method of adding what is essentially a picture of your signature.
Anyway, to sign with a real digital signature you need to create a Digital ID. That kind of sig allows you to create a signature appearance and certificate that you can reuse. You'll also be able to review and control changes to the document over time.
Alternatively, you can use the EchoSign service which also has a host of useful features.

  • Digital Signature crashes Acrobat 9 Pro

    An error occurs when trying to Sign any PDF document, even when opening a very simple, one word (Times New Roman text only) PDF document. After opening the PDF in Acrobat Pro (WinXP Pro SP3), selecting Sign, Sign Document, Acrobat allows proper placement of the signature box, and accepts the password for the selected Signature ID. When <Sign> is then selected, Acrobat offers to save the document, and when the save location (any location) is selected, Acrobat returns the error below.
    Adobe Acrobat 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Error Signature
    AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.3.2.163 ModName: acrobat.dll
    ModVer: 9.3.2.163 Offset: 00135fb9
    The same source PDF document can be modified, or password protected, and then saved without a problem. Only when a digital signature is applied does the error occur. Acrobat has successfully Signed and saved documents on this PC previously, but starting experiencing this error about week ago. I have uninstalled Acrobat, reinstalled ver. 9.0 and applied the two updates to 9.3.2, and have generated new Digital Signatures, all with the same resulting error when signing a document. The new, signed PDF document is actually created, and a Digital Signature is found in the document, but is invalid, reporting:
    Error during signature verification.
    Signature contains incorrect, unrecognized, corrupted or suspicious data.
    Support Information: SigDict /Contents illegal data
    I have tried the troubleshooting steps in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403613.html, but without any progress; the error continues to remain. Any advice on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi Mike,
    After the Save As operation was done, did you see the signature appearance displayed in the signed signature field before you closed the doc? And if did see the signature appearance, did you happen to notice if there was a green check mark displayed in the blue message bar at the top of the file?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Packaging Multiple Files in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm putting together a large report that will have multiple volumes of appendices. The hard copy will be in three-ring binders, with the main report, tables, figures, and appendices separated by tabs. A given appendix may contain many different supporting documents.
    When I've prepared smaller reports, I've simply combined multiple individual PDFs into one large PDF. The largest of these PDFs cause performance problems with my machine and sometimes refuse to open altogether, so I don't think creating one gigantic PDF is a viable option for this current project. Is my best option to create a PDF Portfolio? I want to make sure that the recipients are able to navigate the electronic file(s) easily but are not able to alter them.
    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro in Windows XP.
    Thanks!

    Hello Martha,
    It would be helpful having your native CAD file in order to deeply analyse this issue.
    Might be a problem of display within Acrobat or a problem caused by the exporting process(export to PDF) of SEMulator 3D.
    To be investigated...

  • 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.

  • Can't clear signature box (Acrobat X Pro)

    Hi,
    I have read some into this and have tried some different fixes with no luck. I had to re-image a person's PC who uses PKI certs. on a CAC to sign PDFs. Acrobat X Pro was re-installed and updated. The digital ID on the CAC is the same before the re-image and it validates. I went to ECA.ORC.com to update the HW4/5/signing certs. and had them jacked into Outlook (just in case it calls on that for some reason). The edit function under tools is grayed out and there is no "security" on the PDF. The customer claims he could right click the signature box and the option to clear would be there; it is not there now. What am I missing here? Thanks.

    Below is what my customer saw but its for v.11 and he has 10 Pro. The Key mentioned is not even there in 10.

  • Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

    I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro.  That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible? 
    Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
    Thanks!

    The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

  • Add multiple signature boxes acrobat pro

    How do I add a second signature box for an additional signer in Acrobat Pro?

    Probably the best way is to go into form editing mode:
    Acrobat 11: Tools > Forms > Edit
    select the digital signature field tool, and add as many digital signature fields as are needed.

  • Adding a digital Signature in Acrobat X Pro

    A recent update seems to have altered the digital signature. Before there was no problem and I used the signature I created in Acrobat 9 after upgrading to X Pro. But yesterday (after the update) I was asked for a password for the first time. Eventually I deleted the ID and tried to create a new on but cannot. I follow the steps  - a new ID, then a new PKCS#12 file; I fil lin the details requested then on the next page it asks for a file location and password. I accept the default location and type in a password but after the enter I get a message that the passwords do not match.
    How do I sole this or am I doing something wrong?

    Do you enter the password twice? People have reported that the second password field isn't visible when using a low resolution screen.

  • Multiple copy from Acrobat 9 Pro extended to Excel

    How can I select multiple part of text to copy and paste them across cells of Excel?

    You should ask this question in one of the Acrobat forums. The following is probably the most appropriate one: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions
    It would be helpful to know the type of things you use Acrobat for. Some features have been enhanced significantly and some functionality you have with Acrobat 9 Extended has been removed.

  • How do you crop multiple pages in Acrobat X Pro?

    I don't see how to do this. I could in Acrobat 9 easily.
    Thanks in advance. JIP

    Now THAT was helpful (double click on the cropped part, etc.). WHY did they make it so hard/nonintuitive to find such a much-needed feature? Weird. (I'm using the Windows version, but same weirdness there.)

  • Is Acrobat DC Pro An upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro  or are they separate  products

    When you  Go on creative  cloud You are  given the features   of Acrobat DC pro  and  you can toggle between that and Acrobat  XI Pro  The Latter has  a better descriptions of the important feature and  the  some of the similar feature  in DC get little more than  a One  word mention.
    I get the impression that the interface is very different  but  all i really want to know will i be loosing functionality  by upgrading   or are all the same features their   just the emphasis  is on the Document cloud  and not on the  feature  print, Prepress, interactivity  and  JS integration  are all very important in my work flow  so the loss of any of these feature would be a major upset.
    Hopefully the is some greater  compatibility  to the interactive  elements   available on a desktop pc  and the  mobile  versions 

    I installed DC and it indeed overwrote XI. This was not acceptable since we have plugins that are not compatible with DC. I had to uninstall it and reinstall XI. I contacted Adobe to ask how to do the install so that I had both. They told me I couldn't and I should use a different computer.
    The DC functionality...well, I don't know if it's all there because the interface is extremely simplistic and different. When I say simplistic, it looks like someone started configuring the look of the interface and then decided not to, leaving it as what might be called "stick figure" look...in color, but very stick figure. The interface doesn't seem user friendly. Of course, that could be me having an adverse reaction to the look.
    There was no thought by Adobe as to how an overwrite of the existing Acrobat would affect the end user and then to tell me it was impossible to install both and to use another computer to do my work..Not acceptable.
    And the concurrent installs...well, I actually was able to install DC next to XI and both seem to be working fine...at least so far.

  • OT: Macintosh Users: Beware the misleading advertising for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    An important message to Macintosh users who are considering purchasing Acrobat 9:
    I am writing to let you Mac users know that the current marketing for Acrobat Pro is very confusing.
    On the page for Acrobat Pro,
    here.
    there is a very enticing sidebar that says "Consider Upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended"
    It outlines all the cool things that Extended can do. I had seen some publicity for Extended and so I immediately clicked that button to find out more about this version. It is a very compelling product that has a presentation application, 3D capabilities, and the form creation product Live Cycle Designer.
    I was very excited about this product, when I was lucky to have checked the System Requirements for this product. And was amazed to find that this product is Windows only!
    It is one thing to shove the Mac market off to the side as Acrobat has in the past. For instance, in the past, Acrobat products have provided features for Windows that were missing on the Mac.
    But the current advertising borders on misleading advertising. Rather than just hide the Windows -only features under the same name as the Macintosh product, Adobe has come out with a Windows-only product that doesn't clearly state it is Windows only!
    To publicize a product on a page that is cross platform and then make it very hard to find out that the product is Windows only is terrible. And I guarantee that this will lead to many people ordering something they can not use. And will be very angry about!
    I have written to several people I know at Adobe to complain about this.
    I would suggest that others use the Adobe-feedback page:
    http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi
    to tell Adobe how this makes you feel.
    Meanwhile, I'm glad that I won't have to shell out the extra money for this Windows-only product.

    Buko,
    I appreciate your support, but it's even worse than you think.
    Here are the features exclusive to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
    Combine documents, drawings, e-mail, spreadsheets, and rich media including audio, video, 3D, and maps in a single, compressed PDF Portfolio.
    b The Pro version does not support 3D.
    Create interactive, on-demand presentations Use Adobe Presenter software now included with Adobe Acrobat® 9 Pro Extended software to liven up your slides with video, voice-over, demos, and interactive quizzes, and then output to PDF for reliable, cross-platform sharing.
    b The Pro version does not contain Presenter.
    This is the product I was most interested in.
    Work with expanded 3D features Use new Adobe 3D Reviewer software to combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly; compare a revised design to an earlier version; measure and section on precise geometry; and create exploded views, animations, and balloons. Export your work to 2D vector or raster files or save as PDF.
    b The Pro version does not support any 3D features.
    View and interact with PDF maps Search, measure, and mark up geospatially enabled PDF maps. Discover the longitude and latitude by placing your cursor over a location. Measure PDF maps in kilometers or miles.
    b The Pro version does not support the PDF maps features.
    Create interactive forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    b The Pro version does not have the LiveCycle Designer application.
    Finally, there is a feature mentioned in the Pro 9 Extended product that I cannot find in the Acrobat Pro 9 features:
    Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for reliable, cross-platform sharing of video, animations, and applications in PDF documents. With native support for Adobe® Flash® technology, no additional media player is necessary for playback.
    b But I can't definitely tell if this feature is in the Pro 9 version.
    As you can see, there are quite a few compelling features in Pro Extended. And I guarantee it is
    b only marketing, and not code,
    that is keeping these features from the Mac market.

  • Flattening a stamp in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac)

    I use a stamp for my signature in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac). After placing my stamp signature, resizing and placing on the signature line where I want it, I have been using "Preflight" and "Flatten Annotations and Form Fields" to flatten my stamp so it prints/exports/emails with the signature firmly placed.
    However, recently, when I use that preflight setting the stamp is re-enlarged to the full size (from when I placed it) and moved to the middle of the document.  The process is completely unusable.
    Does anybody know what I am either doing wrong or what needs fixing?
    I confirmed this in multiple documents.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried flattening using PDF Optimizer (under Dischard objects)?
    Another tool you can use can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Acrobat XI Pro will not activate when trying to convert to an Acrobat form from an existing Word document

    Hi johnb69345359,
    I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Lets try to resolve this issue.
    I would require few details in order to diagnose the issue correctly :-
    1) Are you able to launch Acrobat XI pro ?
    If yes, please try Help -> Repair option to repair Acrobat XI pro. Then try to perform the covert operation.
    2) Let me know the Operating system installed on your computer.
    3) Is there any error code or error message?

  • Documents open in separate Acrobat Window  Acrobat 9 Pro

    When I open multiple documents in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, each opens in a separate window.
    In Acrobat 6 Pro, all files opened in the same window, & I could select which was displayed in the 'window' menu, or I could cascade or tile the documents.
    Can Acrobat 9 be configured to open multiple documents without opening separate windows for each? If so, can it be easily switched back & forth?
    Thanks in advance,
    Norm

    This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
    The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
    I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
    The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405108&sliceId=1
    which was in november 2008....
    why hasnt any thing else been done about it?  I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
