Creating a form that allows multiple Digital Signatures

I am trying to make a PDF form that allows multiple users to sign different portions of a single form. I have created the form and inserted the Digital signature fields. Which if I use my Acrobat 8 Professional to open I am able to sign each different signature field independantly, but if the form is opened in just Reader 8 it will not allow singing of any digital signature field at all. Seems the security settings revert to a default of not allowing the form to be signed. Anyone able to help, if I have not provided enough information please let me know as I am pretty new to LiveCycle.

The previous post is correct.  Reader will not allow you to sigh an form unless it has been reader extended to enable the signing functionality.  Acrobat pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions can be used for this.

  • Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

    I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible.  Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form.  I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

    Hi,
    You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
    Hope that helps,

  • Any way to create a form that allows users to create profiles that can be viewed by other users?

    I'm working on a social media site, and I would like to give users the ability to create simple profiles that can be viewed by other users. Is there any way I can do this in Muse CC? Any good resource websites with code I can embed?

    Muse form widgets can only email the form submission data to a specified email address for non-BC hosting at this time. For BC with webCommerce plan and above, this should be possible with the help of webApps however, that is an advanced topic and would require some knowledge of CMS and HTML to implement <http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/web-apps.html>.
    Also this will not be possible with Muse on its own as Muse outputs static pages only and what you are looking for requires backend technology to work (that BC offers).
    Thanks,

  • Can I create a form that allows users the ability to add fields?

    I would like to create an asset order form I can host on my company's intranet. I would like to give the users the ability to add additional fields per item they request rather than provide them with a limited amount of fields. For example, the template available from Formscentral has 5 dropdown selection boxes with predetermined supplies to choose from. My office receives requests for multiple, varying assets that I would not be able to list in generic dropdown selection boxes. I want to give users the freedom to enter item titles and provide URLs to online stores they would like me to purchase them from. I want my form to begin with two fields for this information and provide users with an add button that creates two additional fields for each additional item requested.

    Hi,
    In Acrobat Form, you create a hidden Text Field which will only get visible on a Button click for inserting additional text.

  • Creating a form that populates multiple tables

    Hi,
    I need to create a registration form which inserts data into multiple tables (USERS (master-table), PHONES, ADDRESSES, EMAILS, etc) at once. I've been looking through the docs and the only way I've found yet is to build the form on a procedure. Other methods have restriction on using maximum of 2 tables.
    What is the best approach for building a form on multiple tables in htmldb?

    Either do it on a procedure, or simply write the insert in Process yourself:declare
      l_new_deptno number;
    begin
      insert into dept(dname)vales(:P1_DNAME) returning deptno into l_new_deptno;
      insert into emp(ename,sal,deptno)
      values (:P1_NAME,:P1_SALARY,l_new_deptno);
    end;Thanks,

  • How to create a DAD that allows multiple connection to database

    many users can access through the same dad

    In OAS4.0.8, open the Database Access Descriptor Form, and uncheck the option, "Store database username and password in the DAD".
    This prompts the user to enter a username and pwd when accessing the database. Even if you specify one set of values while creating the DAD, you can specify any other valid username and password from the browser.
    However, it would be interesting to figure how to do the same thing in versions > 4 where do not have an OAS manager interface.
    If you figure how to set it in the conf files, fdo let me know as well.

  • Pdf fillable form - multiple digital signatures

    I have a fillable pdf form that requires multiple digital signatures. Is there a way to send the form to multiple parties and merge it back to one form upon receipt of the signature from each party? Does that be accomplished with a javascript or do I need to use a different software? Thank you.

    That's not how digital signatures work, so the answer is "no". When multiple people need to sign a document, they need to sign the same document in sequence.

  • Can I create a PDF fillable form that allows form multiple entries and one submission?

    For example, I would like to enter new hire information for multiple new hire employees and only click the submit button once.

    Good Morning Randy -
    Sorry for not giving you a clear enough description. I was trying to avoid a novel.
    I hope to use FORMSCENTRAL for create a form for on-line users to register for meetings including paying via paypal.  Some of the people register and pay for the meeting by themselves and others are registered by their office assistant, so there might be as many as 25-30 people.
    The individual registrants are easy and doable with FORMSCENTRAL.
    However, for the multiple registrants, I would like to create a form that can handle multiple registrants and only one submission for payment.  So far, I have  only been able to do that by creating a form that has the registrant fields created multiple times.  I would really like to be able to have the set of fields created once unless I need to add the set of fields multiple times.  I am sure that complications keeping track of the total payment due as well.
    Being able to set-up a table with the fields across (left to right) for each registrant would be good.
    Maybe this does not explain it well enough in which case, I can call and explain our need.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Multiple Digital Signatures in one Form

    Hello
    I have an Interactive Forms that requires the digital signing of 6 different users. There is a control under the Web Dynpro Native named : Signature : Sign and Lock which allows multiple signatures but I am not able to use it correctly.
    I need to associate text fields in the form to a certain signature so when the user signs them they are locked BUT but I need to be able to have other text fields open so another user can sign the form. It is only when the second user signs the form that the remaining text fields are locked
    Any idea ?

    Hi Mare,
    You cannot merge files and expect that the digital signatures will be preserved. When you sign a file you are signing all of the bytes in that file, and only that file. Once you combine files you are creating a new unsigned file. If someone were to sign the new file they are signing all of the bytes in the new file, not just some of the bytes. There is no "page level" signing in PDF files, only whole file signing.
    You can however put the signed files into a Portfolio file. A Portfolio keeps the files separate. Think of a Portfolio like a file cabinet in the physical world. Just because you put different files into the file cabinet drawer, they don't merge.

  • Multiple digital signatures in a pdf form?

    I'm creating an adobe pdf form that requires multiple approvers (one after the other) to digitally sign the form. However, once the second person digitally signs the form, the first person's signature will become invalid because the addition of the second signature is not signed by the first person.
    Is it possible to digitally sign the pdf form excluding the signatures?  and how to allow multiple signature in a pdf form while ensuring the form integrity?

    Hi,
    I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
    If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

  • Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

    I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required.  When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections.  The form is workflow through email after each user signs it.  Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
    How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
    Thank you,
    Lori

    Steve,
       After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo.  Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large.  Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
    Thank you for your help,
    Lori

  • I would like to create a form that gives the user opportunities to provide information on as many as 50 projects. Does Adobe FormsCentral allow for this "expandable" type of form, such that if someone only has 10 projects, they can complete the form as ea

    I would like to create a form that gives the user opportunities to provide information on as many as 50 projects. Does Adobe FormsCentral allow for this "expandable" type of form, such that if someone only has 10 projects, they can complete the form as easily as someone with 50 projects. In other words, is there a way to make the form "expandable?"

    Hi Ms Buckner,
    Yes, you can do this with the Show/Hide "Skip" logic rules.
    1. Suppose, for example, you have your first ten projects showing by default.
    2. At the end of those fields, you would have a Yes/No question asking if the person wanted to add more projects.
    3. If they answer "No", they move on to the next section/area/question/etc.
    4. If they answer "Yes" you have the form display ten more project fields that you had already included, but you had hidden up to this point.
    5. Repeat steps two, three, and four as often as needed. (It helps that you can copy and paste fields, including groups of questions, so you don't have to manually re-create them each time.)
    It means you must anticipate the maximum number of times you want to provide project fields, but you've already done that, and you have to build the form with that maximum number, but only display smaller portions at a time until they have filled in all they need.
    I hope that helps,
    Brian

  • How to do Multiple digital signatures?

    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple digital signatures. This is an approval form that is emailed "up the chain of command".  I have enabled extended features in Adobe Reader so that users without Acrobat 9 can digitally sign the form.  I created the form and did a certified signature.  I then emailed it to a typical user who filled in the form and emailed it to her boss for a digital signature.  Her boss digitally signed it and emailed it to the CFO.  The CFO does not have Acrobat 9.  When she gets it, she gets the error message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."  How do I correct this?

    Steve,
    I wanted to test how cumbersome it would be to have the 2 staff members open with Adobe Reader instead of Creative Suite; however, I have not been able to find any option like "open with" in my outlook email.  Every time I try to open it defaults to my Acrobat 9 Pro to open the document.  Would the 2 staff members have to save the email and then use "open with" in order to by pass Creative Suite?
    Also I am not sure if you answered my question last time - Is it possible to just upgrade the Acrobat portion of Creative Suite or do you have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite just to get the newer Acrobat?  I will also be checking the upgrade link you sent.  Thanks.
