Can I certify a document with Acrobat Reader ?

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to certify a document with Acrobat Reader. The sign toolbar button "Certify" in Reader is always disabled even if the document has not been signed. Thanks in advance.

I just tried it.   Even saved a document with Reader Extended PDF and a signature field (which you can only do with Acrobat).  I opened in Reader but could not certify it (although I could digitally sign in).  I can certify in Acrobat.
It's possible you can certify a Portfolio (container for PDF docs) using Reader.  However, right now that's not working with the current version of Acrobat or Reader.  (Adobe engineering is working on that - see my recent posting).
It's also possible that the bug with certifying/signing Portfolios is also preventing other actions from happening.  I don't know.

  • Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

    Hello,
        which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
    thanks!
    jimmy

    Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
    You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
    As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
    Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
    This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.

  • PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

    Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0  family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
    Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ????  Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
    Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ?????  If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Cannot sign documents with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - 10.1.10, Can sign document with 10.1.2 and 11.0.07

    Cannot sign documents with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - 10.1.10, Can sign document with 10.1.2 and 11.0.07
    In my environment, we have 10.1.2 that's currently packaged. Our CIO was able to sign documents via signature with no problem. Later he got updated to 10.1.9, no longer can sign.
    During testing I was able to confirm that 10.1.2 signed without problems, but anything that, it goes kaput, the Sign and options are not listed.
    Latest Adobe Reader can sign... any ideas?

    I'm having a similar problem.  What I'm trying to do is print a Microsoft Word 2010 document with paper size A4 to Adobe pdf document paper size A4.  I select "A4" for paper size in word and then print using Adobe print standard settings.  What I get is an Adobe document in 8.5 x 11.  This is an issue because these are patent documents for electronic filing in WIPO and they must be in A4 size.
    If I select other sizes in Word, such as A3, Tabloid, and Legal, the Adobe file is in the same paper size.
    If I print a Powerpoint document in A4 to Adobe, the Adobe file page size is A4.
    If I print an Adobe file in 8.5 x11 to Adobe A4, the second Adobe file is in A4.
    Any help? 

  • Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

    hi
    Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
    I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
    I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
    According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
    But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
    So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
    Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
    However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
    This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
    To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
    But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
    Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
    thanks,
    Asatamax

    The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
    (1) Open Adobe Reader
    (2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
    (3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
    (response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
    I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

  • I need to digital sign a document using Acrobat Reader. Is it possibile?

    I am an IT Manager for a little city in northern italy.
    I have almost 50 clients with smart cards enabled for what concerns digital signage.
    I use flawlessy the software of the firm who provides the smart card. (infocamere.it).
    This uses sha256 crypt, no problems about it.
    The problem I have is:
    The final file is a "p7m" envelope.
    I would prefer to use a "pdf" envelope. One only file.
    I tried to follow this video
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-with-adobe-reader/
    Simply it doesn't work.
    I have also a couple of Acrobat Standard.
    I can "pdf-sign" with Acrobat Standard 9.
    I am not able to do the same with reader 9 or X.
    There is a way to do it?
    Thank You.

    You can sign a PDF using Adobe Reader 9 or X, but the document must be "Reader Extended" to enable this functionality, This can be done using ADEP\LiveCycle Reader Extensions (server product) or Acrobat Professional 9 (Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader) or Acrobat X Professional (File > Save As > Reader extended PDF)
    For some more info...  http://www.adobe.com/eeurope/products/server/readerextensions/  or http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/Overview/WS92d06802c76abadb2c8525912dd cb9aad9-7ffa.html

  • Can't open PDF documents with Adobe

    Every time I try to open up a PDF with Adobe the error message
    Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    We've tried reinstalling and can't figure out what the problem is... Any ideas would be great!

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Can java script be executed inside Acrobat reader 7

    Hello All
    I am quire new to Acrobat. Please tell me if I can execute a java script in Acrobat reader.
    I am using itext library to add java script to a pdf and opening the pdf in reader and get the error
    NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
    Global.addWatermarkFromText:1:Document-Level:0000000000000000
    First question can I execute this javascript with Reader itself. If yes how should i get rid of this error

    The Acrobat SDK cannot be used to change the information shown for
    each method in the quick bar in the documentation. If that says the
    method does not work in Reader, then it does not work in Reader...
    I do not think there is any similar method for Reader (adding a
    watermark) - very much an Acrobat function. Unless you can pre-create
    the watermark as a form field, so you only have to change the text at
    runtime.

  • Win7 Pdf print with acrobat reader

    I have a problem with the printer's list,
    if install a printer... it does appear in the list.
    if i change or remove a printer it disappear...
    The problem is verified with acrobat 10 and 11, with the version 9 the printer's list is blank.
    With acrobat reader 9 i can't print because "no printer is installed"...

    Make sure you update to the lastest available version of Acrobat/Reader (these are two different things, by the way)... Only versions 9.2 or higher are compatible with Windows 7.

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

    You can run OCR, but because the watermark is just part of the stuff on the page, it isn't likely to go well.

  • Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
    "An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
    What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
    I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
    Please help.

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
    And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html
