Black Signature Box

I'm trying to print a letter off of a database where the document is set up as a PDF. Three days ago, it printed correctly. Now, every letter's signature box is black and you can barely see the signature in a whiteish cast inside. It has to be something wrong with my computer, because other people can print it correctly from their computers.
I tried updating Adobe, repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling. I also tried the black box fixes - the registry update and changing Adobe preferences to No Smooth Text. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

I have just posted a question on this then found yours . . . . it has just started to happen on my MacBook Pro in the last 24 hours. I use Filemaker and have scripts that create invoices then attach them to emails with various covering letters. Suddenly today everything is hidden by a black box with an 'X' in the corner.
I tried printing a document in Pages as a pdf to an email and the same thing occurred.
Has a software update screwed something up?
What can I do?

  • Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

    This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

  • How do I add a signature box to outgoing email?

    I would like my outgoing email to automatically add a signature box like the following example:
    Dianne Merryl
    Prudential top 3% nationally
    cell: 818...
    Office
    17800 Ventura Blvd

    Hi DianneMerryl,
    Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation.
    That being said, most email providers do have this option available. Here are some links that might help:

  • Is it possible to add a signature box on the bottom of forms?

    is it possible to add a signature box on the bottom of forms?
    We have a customer who is thinking of using forms, but needs a signature box to be included in the form is this something that can be added?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, Adobe FormsCentral does not have an option to add signatures.
    In order to distribute forms requesting signatures, you may use the following Adobe products:-
    Adobe Acrobat:- PDF creator, edit PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI
    Adobe EchoSign:- Electronic Signature Software, Digital Signatures | Adobe EchoSign

  • 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.

  • Acrobat 11 crashing after drawing signature box

    I have a user that is using Acrobat Professional 11 and it has worked flawlessely for quite awhile.  But recently when he goes to try to sign the document it allows him to draw the signature box but as soon as he releases the mouse Acrobat crashes and immediately closes.  If he goes into the Signature section of preferences and changes it between DKC #7 and CAdES it works for that instance, but the next time he opens a document he has to repeat the process otherwise it crashes again.
    Version 11.4
    Anyone have any thoughts?

  • 4 questions: at login black rectangular box, appears and speaks- 2 annoying black box over text- 3 bluetooth doesnt always pick up keyboard/mouse at login- 4 dock disappears and reappears at will

    Here we go,
    1) at login a black rectangular box with white text appears and voice over seems to be on (even though its switched off)
    2) after login an annoying black square surrounds the cursor
    3) upon waking computer from sleep the bluetooth doesn't pair with the keyboard or mouse (I usually just power them both off and then back on and this seems to work)
    4) the dock disappears and reappears on its own even though "hide the dock" is not checked

    In the login screen, press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver.

  • I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. It displays text of whatever I am in, apps, docs, etc, and I have been unable to get rid of it.

    I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.

    Hi there francone,
    It sounds like you may have the Picture-in-Picture Zoom option enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information as well as how to disable it.

  • Black Bounding Box Appearing on my screen.. driving me mad!

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. Somehow I have managed to get this black bounding box to appear n anything that I select. I don't know how I did it, my only guess is that some keyboard shortcut backfired on me!
    It wouldn't be such a big deal except when I'm working in Quark, I keep getting a huge box the length of my screen appearing and its in my waywhen I'm trying to work. I guess its a finder feature somewhere in settings but for the life of me, I just can't find it.
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
    Thanks,
    Joni

    Did you turn the Universal Access Voice Over on? (cmd-F5 toggles it.)
    You can go to Universal Access in System Preferences and check the 'off' radio button too.

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • Dynamic Signature Boxes

    We have an XML message with a varying number of customers that will need to sign a document.<br /><br />We need to place the name from the XML under the signature box and allow them to sign via a signature pad.<br /><br />We're struggling with the fact that we don't know how many signatures will be required until we read the XML, and how we can make the form dynamic in that regard.<br /><br />Is it possible to script something that reads the customer records and  creates / displays a signature box for each at that time?  Or do we need to have a pool of signature boxes (or subforms of some sort) to pull from and display based on the data?<br /><br />An example of what we might see is this:<br />   <Customer Name>Bob Smith</Customer Name><br />   <Customer Role>Primary Applicant</Customer Role><br />   <Customer Name>Betty Smith</Customer Name><br />   <Customer Role>Co-Applicant</Customer Role><br />   ...<br />   ...<br /><br />We've not been able to solve this - any direction on this would be appreciated.<br /><br />We are using LiveCycle Designer 8.2.<br /><br />Thanks!

    A signature cannot be part of the dynamic subform. So you could modify the line after the signature but you cannot dynamically create a signature field.
    Can you have a separate signature page with a number of signatures on it where you could hide and show the subform as neccessary. This would limit you to a specific number of signatures that could fit on a page, but you would be able to read the XML and show the correct number of signatures then modify the Text following the signature field. Is this acceptable?

  • Draw signature box for a tablet computer

    I work for a public library and Acrobat is not my area of expertise so I need some help please!
    We have a PDF form for a lease agreement for a meeting room space. Using a tablet computer, we go over the lease with the renters and then sign it in person
    I need a signature box that just has a way to draw the signature. Right now I have to go through about 4 clicks to get that box, sign it, and then place the signature. I need a 1 click/tap solution that pulls up that draw signature screen and places it back in the existing box or field.
    I have tried using a text box with a javascript but am not getting anywhere.
    Thank you!

    What do yo mean by "will not work"? Do the people who try to sign your PDF file receive errors? Please describe the exact issue so we can figure out where the problem lies.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
