Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

Hello all:
I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
Is there away to sign this electronically?
Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
Can I sign with a pen tool with in  Adobe Reader 9?
Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
Thanks in advance!!

That depends.
Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
They are different things.

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Which tablets allow you to hyperlink to other pdf files using adobe reader?

    On my windows pc, i can click the hyperlink on a file that then opens another pdf file.
    the adobe reader on the windows tablet doesn't allow this function, nor does the chromebook.
    the new ipad is a bit too expensive and the old ipad (1) can't use ios7, so that doesn't work either.
    any recommendations for netbooks or tablets would be appreciated.
    thanks!!

    Hi  jeanniemtbean,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Adobe Reader does not provide you with this facility. This is a feature of Acrobat.
    Thanks,

  • How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

    It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

  • Can you make an existing document into a .pdf file?

    can you make an existing document into a .pdf file? I used to use pdf factory before my system recovery. I do not want to reinstall that program. Can I do this in Acrobat Reader 7?

  • Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

    We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser"  option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
    I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
    I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

    Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Can Data Be Written To A Called PDF When Using Adobe Reader 9?

    Can data be written and saved to another called pdf when using Adobe READER 9?

    You'll have to expand on your description for a full answer - but all things considered, it would be possible.
    If the "called" (this is one of the things you need to clarify - do you mean a PDF opened via the JavaScript openDoc method?) PDF discloses itself, then the "calling" PDF can execute an importXFDF or similar call on that PDF as long as they are Reader Extended.
    Past that, you'll need to give us more information on exactly what you're trying to do.

  • Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

    I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
    I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600.  HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
    an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
    ³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
    If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
    ³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
    In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
    be.

    2. Tap on 'Edit' button placed at right side of top toolbar.
    3. Tap on "folder icon with plus sign", it will ask you to enter the folder name.Enter desired folder name by which you want to create the folder.
