Can't sign an .PDF document

Hello everybody! I have a problem regarding a digital signature!
A month ago I bought an Oberthur token to sign some documents. I followed the guide and tryied to import the device in Mozilla Firefox. After a few atempts I have abandoned the idea and (also following the guide) I managed to import it in Explorer (the guide proved flawless). I have signed one document and all was ok.
Yesterday I tryied to msign another document, but when I click the signature field I get the tab: Add digital ID. When I chose the "A device connected to this computer" option I got this message: "Acrobat could not find any new digital IDs..."!
I have unistalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Reader X and reinstalled them. I have managed to import the signature device in Mozilla, but I can't still sign documents!
What is there to be done?

I am not familiar with the Oberthur solution, but it sounds like from your description that it is a digital certificate stored on a hardware device. If this is the case, Reader must be configured to access this device via a PKCS11 interface (driver, typically a DLL file).
To access the security settings dialog in Reader where this configuration musrt be completed, select Edit > Protection > Security Settings...
Select "PKCS#11 Modules and Tokens"
You will then get a security warning...
Select "Always open with Protected Mode disabled", click OK
Click the "Attach Module" button to install the driver.
This should resolve your issue.
If you are using a "soft cert" (a digital certificate in file format such as PFX or P12) then you can ignore the PKCS#11 settings, and select the "Digital ID Files" option and click "Attach File"
Hope this helps.
Steve

How can I sign a pdf document, flatten it and upload to a cloud

I am using an iPad and a samsung tablet.

I would suggest that you get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is a free download.
Also, install the Perian components from Perian.org. (Also free).
Drag your android clip into MPEG Streamclip. The FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the Apple Intermediate Codec as the codec.
You can import the resulting file into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

Signing a PDF document

When I try to sign a PDF document, I get this error:
"The windows Crypttographic Service Provider reported and error: The security token does not have storage space available for an additional container. Error code 2148073507".
Anyone have an Idea?

Per the OP, the issue is that the previous version of the users certificates have not been removed
from windows.
To do this (I only know the process through I.E.):
1 - Open Internet Explorer
2 - Alt-T to open the tools menu and select Internet Options
3 - Choose the Content Tab and select Certificates
You will most likely see your 3 previous certificates, your CURRENT certificates and possibly other users certificates.
4 - REMOVE the LOWER "CA" numbered certificates by selecting them and clicking "Remove".
5 - Close IE
6 - Close Any Adobe Acrobat Documents
7 - Re-open the document you want to sign and it should work.
IF You only had your OLD certificates, you can add your new certificates by opening Active Client
1a. Choose Tools
2a. Choose Advanced
3a. Select Make Certificates Available To Windows
Hope this helps whoever comes across this in the future.

Can't open a pdf document over two or more junction points

Hello,
if i open a pdf document that's stored in a directory and this directiry is accessable over two or mor junction points, it will be fail. The message say something abount access denied, but the security is set to full access. In other application (e.g. notepad.exe) i can access this document. Then i tested it with one junction point and it works.
So here is a szenario to test:
1) Put a pdf document at C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf
2) I can access C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
3) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder2 to C:\Folder1
4) I can access C:\Folder2\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
5) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder3 to C:\Folder2
6) I can't access C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader !!!
I can normaly access the file at C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf but not with Acrobat Reader! In Notepad i can open the pdf document.
I tested the lasted version 11.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) with all normally available patches.
What's wrong? The original structure with the junction points are greater than the example above. But i've reduced it to this simple example.
Can anyone help?
Thanks und Greetings

It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

How can I download a .pdf document from a web link without Adobe Reader starting automatically and preempting the download?

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,

That states that the PDF touch app doesnt support printing which is a technically true as it doesnt have a button/option to print from the app but doing a crtl-p (this is on a full PC version of win8 not RT) brings up the print dialogue and its prints fine.

Thanks for your help

Reader cannot convert files to Word. There is an ExportPDF service with its own forum to help with issues to the service. However, converting files to Word is by its very nature an iffy proposition. How well it works depends upon the content of the file and how it was created.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

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

I can't print a PDF document anymore

I can't print a PDF document anymore
how can i correct the problem?

What is your operating system? What is your Adobe Reader version? Only one document, or any? Local or online documents? If online, in what browser?
Finally, what exactly means "can't"?

Hi trueman9299,
ExportPDF uses OCR (optical character recognition) to convert image (scanned text) to editable/selectable text, but it doesn't translate from one language to another.

I can't read some pdf documents on my computer

I can't read some pdf documents on my computer with the Adobe Reader X programme.
Sometimes i can read old documents, but in the last months sometimes is possible and sometimes it's impossible.
My OS is a windows 7. I just disinstalled and reinstalled the Adobe Reader X programme but the problem persist.
Some can help me?

Hi Aquila,
Can you please try opening this PDF in your browser: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
If you are seeing the same blank PDF, then I suppose that you are not having the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e 10.1.4 or it can be that the browser is being used in 64-bit mode. Please use 32-bit mode of your browser.

Hi ceop,
It seems earlier you were able to use it.
It is not clear why you are facing this issue now.
You can try it with another pdf file,It might be possible that there is some issue with your pdf file.

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.
