Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition  I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat".  This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Regards,
KVD

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
     var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
     getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

  • Can't  sign signature field after unlocking

    We have encountered the following senerio(both in Reader and Professional 8.1 and above), even with all appropriate rights and privages applied the document.
    Given a simple document with 2 fields, one a digital signature field and one a simple text field.
    On initial form open the digital signature field is set read-only. After the user enteres any data into the text field, the digital signature field is set to open for signing.
    With Reader/Professional 8.0 and previous, the user gets the digital signature wizard when they click on the signature field and is able to sign the document
    With Reader/Professional 8.1.x the user is able to click into the digital signature field (mouse changes to the finger/field indicator shows blue) but the wizard does not appear. The user cannot sign the document until it is saved, closed and then re-opened.
    code is as follows
    text field name: text1
    digital signature field name: sig1
    text1 exit event: if (!this.isNull && this.rawValue != null) sig1.access = "open";
    Does anyone know how to fix/work around this problem?

    What you're describing is what happens when the form has not been Reader-enabled, or the extended features are no longer valid. It's hard to say what's wrong without seeing the same document that she's using. It's also possible that even though she says she has the latest version of Reader, that she's actually using something else to view the PDF, such as Preview on the Mac, the built-in PDF viewer with Firefox or Chrome, or something else.

  • How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

    How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

    It isn't signing in. I hope someone can explain this better than me but it goes something like this.
    To sign you make a certificate. Either you buy the certificate from a trusted source, or you make a special public certificate, and send that to all your contacts. This sending is special - you can't just email it, because it could be a fake. People need to know it's real, perhaps by arrangement.
    Anyway, people are now set to look at a PDF which says YOU signed it. They can check if the certificate you used matches the public certificate you sent. If it does, the file is unaltered. If it doesn't it is a fake. Plus, there is a third case - it might be your real signature then someone changed the PDF. But thanks to the certificate, when you validate you are told about that too.
    Certificates, the law, signing and that area are complex, and you need to understand before you start. It's easy to make worthless signed documents.
    By the way, I've no idea if any of this clever stuff works on iOS!!

    When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected.  It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option.  I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday.  All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word.  I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through. 

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.
    Hope to hear from you.
    regards,
    Anubha

  • Signature option in Adobe Reader.

    Why is the signature option in Adobe Reader one "greyed out" for iPad users, you can no longer access your signatures and add them to a document ?

    Hi F & F,
    If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4   Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at  Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

    Is there a Dock Icon that was created for your Printer? If so, open it and look at the list to be printed and delete the extras.
    If not, you did not get that far, so no 15 copies for you!

  • Adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

    Sorry
    should be “displaying”
    Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
    But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.

  • Can you kern between letters in Adobe Reader?

    Can you kern between letters in Adobe Reader?
    I am using v.11 on a Mac and can adjust the leading between sentences fine but would also like to kern between the letters if it's possible. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, between lines (I just called them sentences, but lines is more accurate)
    In the "Properties" toolbar click "More."
    Then click the "Paragraph" tab.
    At the bottom is Above/Below.
    Highlight the line(s) you want to adjust in the pdf.
    I just use positive and negative numbers (ie. -5, -12, 8, 15) and the lines adjust without problems.
    I figure if it can do this, then maybe you can kern too and I'm just not seeing where/how.......  

  • Can't open PDFs/uninstall program Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI

    I can't open PDFs, can't uninstall program, I have Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI (I don't know what MUI is...), help! I have tried numerous times to uninstall and change the program. Every time I try to do this, a window comes up saying that files are open (Adobe Reader) and to either retry or close. I can do neither, so I'm unable to uninstall the program. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I scanned my computer for viruses, malware, etc. and nothing came up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just try to download the software from the Adobe site and see what happens?
    Thanks, Tracy

    Assuming you are in Windows (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
    And I think it is Multilanguage User Interface...

  • I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

    I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

    Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].
