Cannot add a signature after certifying a document Acrobat 8 Pro

Every time I try to add a signature, in Acrobat 8 Professional, after certifying a document with a visible signature, the "Place signature" and "Sign document" menu items appear disabled, even though I chose to give permission to add form data and signatures at the time of placing the certifying signature. And even though these settings appear in the security properties of the document and in the certify signature properties.
What can be wrong ? Thanks.

To sign a certified document, you need to have at least one unused pre-authored signature field.

    Hi Pieter,
    Acrobat 9 has not been tested and is unsupported Mac Mavericks.
    You might face compatibility issues with it.

  • HT2506 cannot add a signature in preview???

    why is preview NOT allowing me to add another signature?  the '+' sign is highlighted, but nothing happens when clicked

    When you click the plus, do you get a window that looks like this?
    If not, then try opening the Console application (in the Applications > Utilities folder) and click the All Messages section. Then click the "Clear Display" toolbar button and then try clicking the new signature button in Preview. If any messages show up in the Console after doing this, then copy and paste them into a message here.
    Also try removing Preview's preferences file, by holding the Option key and choose Library from the Go menu in the Finder. Then go to the Preferences folder and remove the file called "com.apple.Preview.plist"
    Finally, if the above does not work, then try going to the same Library folder (using the Go menu) and then go to the Containers folder in here. Move the folder called "com.apple.Preview" from this Containers folder to your Desktop, and then relaunch Preview and try again.

  • Cannot place a signature on a PDF document

    I just encountered an issue with a specific PDF issued to me by a vendor. I am normally able to "place signature" on any PDF document. This one however, only allows me to place a certificate-based digital signature. How can I go about simply placing my signature on the document?
    I also do not have my serial number as I purchased the software as an option through Lenovo. They don't have my serial numbers and neither does Adobe evidently. Not the greatest customer service experience I've had.

    Your specific PDF may contain hidden signatures. For instance it may be Reader-enabled which includes a signature. It seems that the rights enabled by the PDF's author do not include application of stamp signatures. When you open this PDF in Reader 11, if the PDF is Reader-enabled there is a button on the top of the left pane which when you click it tells you which rights this PDF has. You need to contact this PDF's author (your vendor) to get this resolved.
    I do not understand what the serial number has to do with it.

  • Bookmarks disappear after file save in Acrobat Pro 9

    I recently bought Acrobat Pro 9 and have run into a problem with creating, editing and saving bookmarks. (I use InDesign CS2 to create most of my PDFs.) 
    On only one occasion could I create bookmarks in a normal manner, i.e., selecting pages to bookmark, creating a bookmark using the keyboard <Command B> and entering text into its label. I got through the entire list of bookmarks and saved the file.
    When I reopened it, all but one had disappeared. This has happened most of the time.
    But there is an additional wrinkle. Except for that one “normal” occasion, what usually happens is that whenever I create a bookmark (by whichever method), my ability to enter text into the label is so short that the only way I can accomplish it is to prepare a list of label contents in a word processor and copy/paste each line into each created bookmark. And I do have to be quick about it. Acrobat will keep generating functional bookmarks as you go along, but when they're all “Untitled” and you can't get get in there to do any real edits, there isn't any point to having bookmarks. (I'm a fast typist.) Invoking TouchUp Text at first gave me a small reprieve, but since then it hasn't helped at all.
    When I save the document and close it, on reopening I find again that all the bookmarks have disappeared. Conclusion: they didn't really get saved in the first place.
    Previously I used Acrobat 5.

    I see that this is a very old thread. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 on OS 10.6.6 and seeing something similar. No real solution, but I thought I'd add a data point and my workaround.
    It seems as though SOME, but not ALL, of my bookmarks are "taking." Right now, whenever I add a bookmark AFTER what's probably the first bookmark created in the document, it MIGHT stick around after a save. When I add a bookmark BEFORE that bookmark (as in "it's positioned higher on the list in the sidebar"), it doesn't save. I ended up moving the "good" bookmark to the front of the list, and then adding additional bookmarks after it. These all stuck around after a save.
    Because of bugs like this, I'm using Preview in every case possible. Acrobat does more, but it sucks at the basics things you'd expect to work flawlessly. Oh well!

  • Adding an Expiry date to a document - Acrobat Pro

    I want to add an expiry date to my document i.e 12 months from when it was created.  I recently got Acrobat Pro X on my computer, and the not sure how to do this now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    In Adobe Acrobat 8, it was possible by adding JavaScript by clicking on the menu Advanced > Document Javascript > Edit CheckDoc
    Then we could open the JavaScript and put the end date, as below
    Thanks!

    Adobe LiveCycle can protect documents on an internal company network OR via the public Internet, it simply depends on how you set up access to the LC server (i.e. is the IP address of the server public and can it be connected to from outside the firewall).
    "Expiring" documents with JavaScript is strongly discouraged if the document has value, as a user can trivially bypass the script (and as you have found out, it only ever runs under specific circumstances). If the PDF is opened in a non-Adobe application such as OS X Preview, scripting simply isn't available. Many users disable the scripting module by default, especially in enterprise settings. These are the situations for which digital rights management (DRM) was developed - if there was an easier (and cheaper) way to do it, Adobe wouldn't have bothered writing LiveCycle's DRM module as they'd never sell any licenses!
    LiveCycle DRM restricts the PDF to opening only in Adobe applications (Reader and Acrobat), but the protection offered is totally reliable. Nobody has ever bypassed or cracked LCDRM hashes in the wild, and it's used to secure documents of the highest value (both commercial and proprietary). Yes, LCDRM is expensive and probably isn't viable for prosumer or short-run applications, but at an enterprise level the cost of a LiveCycle seat is often trivial compared to the losses they risk if a document falls into the wrong hands. It's a commercial decision, but anything less than DRM is merely an illusion of protection, and document authors must be aware of that.
    I have exactly the same issue as you, except that the pdf documents are
    distributed to customers - eg. quotations to expire after 30 days,
    proposals, etc. In this case, Adobe Lifecycle doesn't work for me as it
    only manages internal documents (as far as I know).

  • I cannot see certain colors/photos/boxes in Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  Can in Reader, and in Acrobat Standard 11

    I have a customer who uses Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  When she receives PDFs, she cannot see the color green, certain boxes(most of the ones she cannot see all have green in them),and pictures.  When I opened this same PDF document in Adobe Reader 11, Adobe Acrobat Standard 11, and Fox it reader, I could see everything as normal.  Her version of Acrobat is up to date.  I posted this Acrobat installations & Update Issues, not sure if correct or not.  She has Windows 7 Professional 64x
    Thank you.

    Hey mmartinez,
    Please let me know what is the OS version on the system being used by your customer?
    Have you tried sending any other PDF files to her? Has she started facing this issue after updating Acrobat?

  • Confirmation That I Understand What I Can and Cannot Do With Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    I am new to working with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Adobe Reader XI.  Based on research I have done and questions answered in the Adobe Communities and Forum, I wanted to make sure I understand the limitations of these two products before I report back to my supervisor.  (We do not want to use XFA forms to obtain data in an xml file.)
    1.  Adobe Reader XI will allow a user to save a fillable PDF document to his/her local PC.  But it is only possible to save it as a PDF.
    2.  Adobe Reader XI will not allow a user to export the data in a fillable PDF into an xml file (unless you purchase the LiveCycle Reader Extensions license).
    3.  Adobe Reader XI will not allow a PDF file to be displayed in a .NET program unless the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" checkbox in Preferences/Security(Enhanced) has been unchecked.  (The previous version of Reader would allow this without disabling security.)
    4.  Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to scan a form and create a fillable PDF.
    5.  Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to save the fillable form as a PDF or XML.  However, it is the form that is being saved as an XML file.  Not the data.
    6.  Adobe Acrobat Pro XI will allow a user to export the data of a form into an xml file, an .fdf file, an .xfdf file, or a .txt file.
    7.  If a programmer writes a program in .NET to save the data of a PDF as an .xfdf file using IAC code, it will only work on a PC that has Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro).  If we need this executable to work on other PCs, we would need to purchase additional licenses of Adobe Acrobat - a license for every PC that needs to run the executable.
    8.  If a programmer writes  JavaScript code using trusted functions to get around security issues, that code will work on a PC that has Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro) but will not work on Adobe Reader XI.  Again, if we wanted our JavaScript to work, we would need to purchase Adobe Acrobat for every PC that would run the code.
    Please let me know if I have understood all of this correctly.  Thank you.

    Thank you for your comments to each of my statements, Irosenth.  That has been extremely helpful.
    I probably needed more of an explanation on statement #3.  I wrote a .NET program that used this line:   "Process.Start("AcroRd32", FilePath)" and when I ran the executable on a desktop PC that only had Adobe Reader XI on it, Reader would not open unless we unchecked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box.  I researched this and found several references to this being a problem in Readers since Reader 9.  I just wanted to make sure this was correct.  One article indicated that we could change the security setting within the registry using code and then change it back.
    Item #8 needed more information as well.  I had tried to use the "exportAsXFDF()" in a trusted function and it would never work in Reader.  It has an "F" in the availability column of the "Quick Bar" in the JavaScript API Reference which means it requires "forms rights".  I saw that; but it was not clear to me if that meant that a trusted function would work.  So, it looks like trusted functions will not get around security settings if forms rights are required.

  • Cannot add an image to a pages document.

    I have a 7 page document that has 10 images included. They are small screen shots about 300 x 500 px. When I try to add another image, I get the resize handles displayed, but no image. I've tried adding the image from the Media Browser and finder. I ended up saving the document, and starting another from where I left off. I'll combine them in Acrobat. Any ideas? if apple would like the file to examine, let me know.
    I had another image issue with a newsletter I generated using one of the Pages templates. After running pages for a while, the Media Browser would refuse to open or open very slowly. I figured it was a memory issue, and used the finder window instead.
    I'm really trying to leave Word behind. So any information would be appreciated.

  • Cannot add an action after I select my "Button" Symbol

    Ok, I have been following a whole bunch of tutorials, and a
    lot of the tutorials I've found are using Flash 8. I downloaded the
    trial for Flash CS3 and when I'm following the tutorial on adding
    an action, or link, to a button, they say...
    "Click the button"
    "Hit F9, to open the actions panel"
    Then for them, the action panel opens up and gives them the
    ability to add an action to their button, and in the upper left
    corner tab, they say to MAKE SURE IT SAYS "Actions - Button" and
    NOT "Actions - Frame"
    Well, in Adobe CS3 and actionscript, if I click on the button
    and hit F9, the action panel opens up, but I can't add an action to
    the button for some reason. I can only add it to "Action - Frame".
    Am I doing something wrong or what because I follow the
    tutorial exactly, but it seems like something changed in
    Actionscript 3.0 verses 2.0.
    If I Open a new file using Actionscript 2.0, everything works
    ok with the tutorial, but if I open a file withh 3.0 and try adding
    an action to a button, it doesn't work. Could anyone help me please
    or tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks.

    AS3 no longer supports the attachment of code to Object
    instances, and requires code to be placed on the timeline, which is
    proper. Additionally, you will need to use the eventDispatcher
    model to 'connect' a responding function to the event and add an
    'event listener' to the Object. So basically the format for AS3
    code is something like:
    function stopTheThing(event:MouseEvent) {
    stop();
    my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
    stopTheThing);

    Just wanted to say that I was having the same problem accessing the iTunes store. the problem was that I downloaded a PDF with a virus that masquerades as an Antivirus program, called Antivirus Soft. This thing installs itself and resets your Internet settings to its own proxy server. However, I don't use MSIE and didn't think to clear its proxy settings. I ran iTunes diagnostics and learned thet iTunes used the LAN settings from MSIE to connect to the Internet. Once I cleared the LAN settings from MSIE, I was able to connect.
    SO, check your LAN settings if you're having trouble connecting but haven't received any Antivirus Soft warnings. The virus is a bear to get rid of. Any attempt to start an antivirus program is thwarted until you can get rid of the virus. You get "error messages" saying that any program you attempt to open is infected, but it isn't.I managed to get rid of Antivirus Soft by using McAfee Antivirus after a few attempt. The frustrating thing is that the viruis installs itself in your startup program, so you have to get your real antivirus running very fast after reboot.

  • Can I add a hyperlink to a stamp in acrobat pro ?

    I'm working with blueprints in pdf format and I have created stamps to place on the drawings. I want to add a hyperlink to these stamps to link to another file or document. I can do this by "overlaying" the hyperlink feature. But I really want to be able to save the stamp with the hyperlink intact so I can reuse without having to go through the additional steps. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance, idtwalt

    Hi,
    An alternative to consider.
    Typically, a Stamp incorporates an image.
    Consider using a Button.
    A Button can show text, an image, or both.
    A Button can be given an Action.
    The choices for the Action are many.
    The Action could be to go to another PDF, go to a named destination in another PDF, some specific view at some designated part of another PDF, or it could be to execute an Acrobat JavaScript.
    This alternative approach permits your use of specific images and actions.
    A "template" PDF could hold the inventory of Buttons.
    Have it opened while working on another PDF file. Use copy-paste to select and insert the Button; then, position it.
    Yes, adds time to the work flow.
    However, it provides the ability to let a user "link" to a different PDF.
    It becomes a question of the relative value of providing the "link" for all future users.
    As George points out; a Stamp provides no "interactivity" so its use precludes providing "added value".
    Be well...
