Can't sign a pdf file

I've received a pdf file as an email attachment which I've been asked to sign and return.  There are five fields to be filled in (which appear simply as an underline) but none of them can be typed on.  The file opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.

Hi,
Does anyone have the solution to this issue? I'm having the same problem using Reader 11.0.8.
Thanks.

  • Can't sign interactive PDF files

    Hi there! I've been having a problem where, given an interactive PDF form to fill out (in this case, job applications), Adobe Reader will recognize the signature field (when I mouse over it, it says "Unsigned signature field (Click to sign)"), but when I click to sign it, nothing happens. When I type, nothing is entered into the signature field. If I click the field too many times, Adobe Reader crashes.
    I have had this problem with several different forms from different employers, though I  did come across one interactive PDF I could sign successfully (but only one, I think). I can usually fill in the rest of the interactive fields with no issues.
    In the files with the broken signature fields, when I open the "Sign" pane, everything under "Fill & Sign" is greyed out; everything's functional in the file with the working signature field.
    Also, the broken signature fields are blue like the rest of the interactive fields, but also has a red bar/arrow in the upper left hand corner, with text that I think says "your name" (it's very small). The working signature field is also blue, but is outlined in red.
    I've also had a problem in one file where inputting "From" and "To" dates (for employment periods, school periods, etc) into one section inputs those dates into further sections. In other words, I put in the month/year when I started college and when I finished college, and those dates also appeared in the fields further down the application where it wanted the month/year I started and finished an employment period.
    I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    How can I fix this? It's making the already stressful activity of job hunting even more stressful. Thanks!

    Bump? Is that a thing that we do here? I really need a solution.

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

  • Signing a PDF file

    Hi all.
    I want to sign a pdf file.
    1.- u2019ve generated the PSE file in my system and Iu2019ve validated it. Iu2019ve inserted my certificate in the pse file.

    The problem is with the pdf generated. I can open it and I can read it without problems but I donu2019t see the sign in this document.

  • Why can't I open PDF files on iMac?

    Why can't I use PDF files on my iMac or iPad ?

    Here are some PDFs you may want to try http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/cic-ombudsman/
    I can open them in my browser, but when I save them they are blank. Those emailed to me don't open. I get this error message:
    Please wait...
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
    Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
    I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.2 and latest version of Adobe Reader on a Macbook Air. I've tried Preview, Pages, Mail, PDF Signer. All give the same error message.
    Here's what the folks at PDF signer told me a couple of days ago:
    That PDF document was created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and contains
    proprietary Adobe data (known as XFA forms) that is not part of the PDF
    specifications. This PDF document will only open in Adobe products (Acrobat
    and Reader), all other PDF viewers/editors are unable to open these kind of
    documents (e.g. it won't open in the Mac's "Preview" application as well).
    Unfortunately, Adobe uses this to promote their own products instead of
    providing the information and tools for other PDF engines to use these
    documents.

  • Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    So what you really want is for your signature's appearance to contain user's ID and signing time. To do that you sign PDF with a regular digital signature and apply custom appearance to it. The "Sign" dialog contains "Appearance" field that has a drop-down list on the right which lists all available appearances and a "Create New Appearance" button. The standard/default signature appearance already contains signing time. You can create a custom appearance that includes additional information that you want to appear there. If you want your username to appear in the signature appearance you create an image file that contains your username and add this image to your custom appearance.
    Multiple users can definitely sign the same PDF. Usually the signing certificate owner's name appears in the certificate itself and is included in the standard/default signature appearance. This is not Windows username but still identifies the signer, IMO better than Windows username. I do not think you want to disclose your password by placing it in the signature appearance.
    You keep mixing two completely different and unrelated concepts: authentication and signing. I still do not understand what exactly you mean by "authentication". It has nothing to do with signature.

    It is not working. I wish to decline in having the pdf pack. How can I give up this purchase? I definitely do not want the Adobe PDF Pack anymore.
    Who do I have to contact or what do I need to do to cancel this purchase?

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?
    created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion 
    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

    Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

    For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
    I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
    * Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
    *[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
