Cannot use an ink signature

Acrobat Pro 11.0
I have a signature image (jpg) set up, and have used it often to sign PDF forms.
Today I tried to sign a form in the customary way, and the "Place Signature" button only permits a digital signature. There is no way to find or use the image signature.
What happened?

When clicking the "place signature" button, I was getting a dialog box for setup of a digital signature. Not what I wanted.
However, I solved my problem by clicking the drop down button to the right of "place signature", and clicking "change saved signature". This got me back to where I needed to be, able to use again my picture of a signature in jpg format.

How do I switch from a digital signature back to an "ink" signature

Reader 11.0.10
Had a doc that required a certificate signature, so I created and used one.
Now I want to go back to using my "ink" signature... how do I do that?
(In a fresh document, if I clock on "Place Signature" button it begins the digital process)

I am in the process of updating all of my organization's PDF forms and creating an environment to digitally share them. The problem that I am running into is these forms have been created by many people by various means. I have found that some forms, when opened with Adobe Reader XI, will not allow me to place a digital signature - neither drawn or with a certificate. Some forms will let me use a digital certificate but not a drawing. I have no idea what settings are different across these different forms that would cause what seems to be different permission levels for different forms.
This is also present when I'm using iOS Adobe Reader - on some forms the signature pen tool is available and on others it isn't. On the ones that it isn't, I can still use the freehand draw tool, but that doesn't work as well as the signature tool.
All of these forms are fillable and savable. Thoughts?

How do I use 'submit' as complete pdf, and use 'drawn my signature' with required fields?

I have created a form with required fields, no problem. The form can be completed with adobe reader, and a signature added using Sign > Place signature > Draw my signature, great. But i need the required fields to be checked and then sent by email, so I have add a button and set the action to "Submit a form" and selected "PDF The Complete Document" from the options. I then add the javascript URL - mailto:????@????.com, but now the "Draw my signature" option is greyed out.
I have asked this question a number of times, and cannot get a proper answer, please can someone help or offer a work around.

George,
Thanks for your response, but I am not sure it fully answers my question. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean - here I have created a simple form, with one required field for some data, using Acrobat XI. If I open the form (I have not reader enabled the form) in Adobe Reader XI, I am able to add a drawn signature, I could save the document then attach to an email to send as you have suggested.
But, If I now add a Submit button, set the URL to mail it to [email protected] and select "PDF the complete document" as below
When I open the document in Adobe Reader now, the signature options are all greyed out as you can see.
Hope this clarifies my predicament

I reinstalled Itunes a couple of times. I unistalled all programs that I never use, I updated all of my drivers, Windows swept my computer and found no problems. I have a yellow causion lite when I look at the USB-port with the phone connected. All other devices work without a problem.

Digital signatures and wet ink signatures

HI all,
I am in the process of converting our paper checklists into fillable pdf forms. Everything is working well, but Im trying to get my head around digital signatures.
Ideally I just want to click the signature part, choose a user from a list, enter the password and the 'wet ink' signature that is scanned in gets added to the form.
So on my laptop I setup a new appearance for my signature, scanned my signature and added it to my digital signature. Perfect.
Problem is, I want to be able to use this on other computers. I copied the digital signature .pfx file and imported it on that new computer, which worked, but it drops the 'wet ink' signature and appearance.
It also appears that anyone can create a digital ID on my laptop and choose my wet ink signature appearance, and sign the document which makes it appear as if I have signed it. I was hoping the wet ink signature was locked with the digital signature but it appears this isnt the case.
Im trying to find the best way to store our signatures (we are all on a network), so that any user can use any computer and ideally lock the wet ink signature to the digital signature.
Many thanks
Chris

It doesn't work for everyone, but if you are considering moving to the world of digital signatures, it's best to forget the signature appearance ("wet"). This is just a distraction to the actual signature, and it encourages a deeply flawed workflow: one where people look at the picture on the page rather than learning about digital signatures and how to verify them. Since digital signatures are (if done properly) unfakeable and (in some places) legally recognised, it is best to completely change workflow, rather than trying to give the illusion it is just an electronic version of a paper workflow.

How to automatically go to an ink signature

Hello,
I'm working on creating a document that is used on tablet computers. I need the client to sign the form with their signature. Since these are tablet pc's we use ink signatures. I want to be able to setup my form so when they click the signature box it will automatically let them sign it with the pen instead of trying to do a digital signature. Also I would like to be able to have it switch back to curser once I click out of the box so they can continue filling out the form. I'm not sure if any of this is possible. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
Thank you!

I went through all the possible commands that can be used with the textArea and ScrollPaneSo did I when I wanted to do the job the first time :-)
But thanks to the friendly people here in the forum, I could get along.

Anyone Know How To Capture Digital Ink Signatures, Within a PDF Form?

Anyone know of software (preferably freeware) that can be used in adobe pro 8, which will allow a user, using a tablet PC, to capture digital ink signatures, within a PDF form?

Topaz has a plugin that can be used for developement purposes for free. Requires you pay for a license if you are going to use it for production. Check under the applications section.

Cannot use user classes in webservices interface of appmodule custom method

Hi,
I need to expose an application module's custom method that uses user defined classes as parameters and return types as a web service interface. I have not been able to do that. Below are more details.
In particular, I have an app module that has a client interface with a custom method that takes and returns a serializable Emp object (user defined classes/objects). I need to expose this app module as a web service through the use of a service interface.
When i run the "Create Service Interface" wizard, under service custom methods (Create Service Interface Step 2 of 4 wizard), i don't see my custom method under "Available."
In addition, the JDev message log says: Business Components: Method "yourCustomMethod(Emp):Emp" cannot be exposed via service interface because the return type "com.mypackage.Emp" is not supported.
From what i understand by reading the docs below, it seems that in an application module's service interface (Webservice) you only can use simple data type or java.util.list or AttributeList (which is a wrapper for any viewRow). In other words, i cannot use my user defined object in the custom method parameters and return types.
This seems to be an artificial limitation of webservice creation through the use of app module because one can use complex/user defined objects in methods of a java class and expose them through a webservice.
I would appreciate if of the tooling PMs can make a well thought out comment.

Hi,
question 2 doesn't apply as the client interface is for Java access to public methods. For the Service Interface, the document lists the supported data types you can use in arguments and return values. To expose a custom methods, what about using a POJO that accesses ADF BC (using create root application module) and then expose your POJO as a JAWS service. This will allow you to expose the data queried from ADF BC through your custom classes.

Apply Ink Signature Option Grayed-Out

Why would other computers except mine within my company who have the most recent Reader installed not be able to access the "apply ink signature" option under "extended?" I have enabled extended features.

Hi Aimaob,
Are you using an English version of Acrobat? The reason I ask is because there is no "Extended" menu item in version 11 and I'm wondering if there is a translation issue here. Also. the Place Signature tool on the I Need to Sign tool panel doesn't ask you to drag out a rectangle (that's a differnt tool), rather it initially brings up the Place Signature dialog where you can create a signature annotation in several different formats, one of which is Draw my signature. Once you've create a signature image the next time you click on the Place Signature tool the signature appearance is displayed as a stamp that can be resized after you apply it.
The drag out a signature rectangle dialog pops up when you open the Work with Certificates tool panel and then select the Sign with Certificate tool.

I cannot use any buttons on the display panel. The power is on and the display is lit up

All-In-One Printer L7780 Windows 7 64-bit
I cannot use any buttons on the display. The power is ON and the display is lit up. I have pulled the plug and waited a while and plugged it back in (several times over two days) but nothing changes.
The diagnostics from the computer don't help. I can see the ink level and I can print a test page but the scanner does not work.
This Printer just works when it wants to. The wireless connection only worked once in a while.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Benno Wallé

Problems with ink signatures

I used InDesign CS6 to design a fillable PDF form to be distributed via Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When testing, I have no issues with the form fields or digital signatures. However, for this form, we would like the recipient to be able to use the "apply ink signature" feature. Whether the file is reader enabled with extended features or not, I experience two problems.
One is receiving this message: "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out." However, one can simply close the message and apply the signature.
However, the signature is not visible at the sender's end once the form is submitted.
Working for a nonprofit, we are not in a position to purchase a second EchoSign license. (The "parent organization" supplies the first license.) I have found another solution, but I would like to know what I am doing wrong because I assume my problems are a result of user error.
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

Mr. Johnson,
I just sent another test. The document contains no digital signatures. I also did not save as Reader Extended with enabld features. I still received the same error message that I mentioned above. Could you offer further assistance?

Ink Signature

Is it possible to import a signature from a file (like a .tif file) and place it in a .pdf document using Acrobat X?
I also use Nitro version 7 and this feature is easily provided and seccurely provided.
I understand Digital IDs and do have one but an ink (wet) signature is often the only valid form allowed when including a .pdf document in an email.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Hi George. The process of flattening is part of the answer. It does resolve the security issue of 'permanence' to having the signature part of the document integrated into the paper and not being able to be 'lifted' or edited. However, the question of how to 'paste' the signature into the document in the first place remains. I understand that this can be done with the 'pencil' or as part of the integrated 'Apply Ink Signature' but signing using a mouse is a challenge in dexterity. Admittedly an input device like a stylus or actual inking pen with the right driver can accomplish this. I do like the Nitro approach that allows a file to be inserted and securely at that. Since it is graphic in nature (either .tif or .gif) it can be sized. It is easy to create a signature on a piece of paper and then scan it as a file to be used and is a much more realistic representation of your real signature than one done with a mouse or even a stylus on a vertical screen.
Thanks for the info on the flattening tool; it is in my 'tool box'.

How to add an INK SIGNATURE

Previous versions allowed the ability to add an INK SIGNATURE.
In addition, the PLACE RECTANGLE box could be moved around and resized to fit the form.
Have we gone backwards??

Hi Blake,
The functionality is still there, but the entry point has changed in the different versions. What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using?

Browser-embedded Adobe Reader doesn't permit ink signatures

I'm not sure if this is a feature, a bug or just an annoyance, but we are unable to apply ink signatures to a PDF displayed within a browser window. The same PDF displayed in a standalone Adobe Reader 9 window will allow for ink signatures to be applied to it. Why can documents in browser windows not be ink signed?
This is problematic for us because we are deploying a web-based application which collects a signature on a PDF form, which then contains a button to proceed to the next step and save the form on the server. Using Adobe Reader standalone to view and sign the PDF breaks the functionality of the form and prevents the form being saved correctly.
Colleagues developing the application report that it works successfully using a plugin for a singature pad, but we are using a tablet PC (motion C5) with a pen to apply the ink signature. There does not appear to be a plugin for this. However, we know we can apply ink signatures in standalone Adobe Reader, we simply want the same functionality in the browser-embedded window.
So far, all suggestions we have received involving buying either alternative hardware or alternative software. Neither is very helpful. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround using Adobe Reader? Thanks.

i don't remember how it was formulated exactly. there was no printing option found. that was on my other computer (with XP). but on Windows 7 it won't even open, i'm not even talking about printing, because i wouldn't know. the window simply blank, inactive and immediately closes. online documents load....and in the end just black window or blank Reader page. In IE it gives me "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/ Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (15:3)" - every time...

Using black ink cartrige only when receiving faxes

I have an HP 6600 Deskjet printer in my office. it is used primarily as fax machine. I go through quite a few color cartridges. Have found this puzzling since faxes are black and white. Was told by rep a Office Depot that is was because all color cartridges are being used to make the black ink for faxes.
Is there any way to set fax option to use black ink cartridge only? Thank you.

Hello!
Welcome to the forums @carperwm
I understand you are looking to see if you can use black ink only when printing out faxes, with your Officejet 6600.
Unfortunately you cannot, as the ink system will continue to work all together to print out the faxes.
However, you can choose to print in black ink only from your computer, check out these guides for help on changing the settings:
Changing Print Settings in Mac OS X
Changing Print Settings in Windows 7
I hope the information helps, have a great day
