Create Blank Signature Field in Acrobat 9

Looks stupid, but I don't find the way to create blank signature fields in Acrobat 9 pro, I need it to pass the file on so that Reader users can sign it.
To sign and then delete the signature (leaving the blank signature field) is not a valid alternative, this will need to be done by many (not only me).
Regards, Luis

Thank you Tim, I finally got the the correct place to create this blank signature fields.
Forms: Add or Edit fields (Shift+Ctrl+7):
Forms: Form Tools: Digital Signature or (right mouse button click): Digital Signature:
Not as easy as it was but it's there.
Thanks a lot.

Create Blank Signature Field in Acrobat 8

The create blank signature field function is no longer available in Acrobat 8.0, as it was in 6.x and 7.x. This was an extremely useful tool to add a quick signature block to a document you needed digitally signed by another party.
Adobe LiveCycle Designer does have the ability to add the field, but that requires additional steps to convert the document to a form when a forms functionality is truly unnecessary for a simple signature capture.
Please, add this capability back to the native Acrobat program. We have hundreds of users who use this functionality daily.

Jeff,
You are right it is not as it used to be in Acrobat 6 and 7, but it is still there!
Go to Tools->Forms, and select the Digital signature tool.
A cross will show up, and you can use t for placing your new and EMPTY signature field

Creating Digital signature blocks w/ Acrobat 10.1.2 and using reader to sign...

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 to add digtal signatures to pdf's but when I save them as a reader extended version so people that only have access to Reader can sign them, Reader won't allow them to sign. How do I fix this problem?

It's important to remember when you are extending a PDF document for digital signatures workflow that you create all of the signature fields need in the document prior to extending the document. Adobe Reader does not allow for signature field creation when signing.

Creating an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X

I want to make an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X, so that Acrobat Reader users can later sign it. I know how to enable that last part ("extended PDF Reader"), but don't know how to make an empty field.

Is a blank signature field what I need to create if I want my document to be signed by someone else? I am just the editor of the document. I will not officially sign the document. The signature will come from a managment postion. Everytime I try to create a blank signature field though Adobe wants to sign the document with my personal signature.

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

How to create a Xfdf doc. in Acrobat Pro 10 through code?

Hi All..!!!
I wanted to know whether there is a way to create an XPdf document in Acrobat Pro 10. I know that we can create a pdf document through code using the SDK.. I wanted to know whether the same can be done for XPdf documents..
Thanks!!

Writing an XFDF is not that difficult; all you need is a tool allowing you to assemble text strings.
The preferred way to get a sample on how the XFDF should look like is to export one from the form concerned, and to repeat it using your code. In this case, the document knows best how the XFDF should look like.
Hope this can help.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Blank screen on Adobe Acrobat Pro Startup 9.0

**See screenshot below.
After installing our volume license here on campus, I'm getting this blank screen on startup. This is only happening with one machine. We all have the same systems and configurations, so not sure what it is. I have to use Task Manager to quit the program. Thought it was the graphic drivers for our NVidia card GeForce 5200, but I updated those and had the same problem. Also tried repair, removed, cleaned registry, then reinstall again. I still cannot get this to work. This is an older Dell Optiplex GX270, 1 gb of RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
~eva

Acrobat XI Pro does not work as well as previous versions. For example, using "Combine Files into PDF" function, Acrobat will not work if one or more of your WORD docs has a text layer (such as in a WORD template to produce a letterhead). The text layer will not print to PDF, although this function works fine in previous versions. It will convert your WORD docs to PDF, but if any WORD doc has a text layer, it will not be converted. It will show up as a blank space. I have a letterhead text layer that has my work credentials. It does not show up on the converted PDF, using the bundle (Combine Files into PDF) function. Tech Supports workaround for this is to first create a PDF from the WORD page that has a text layer by first clicking on Acrobat, at the top of the monitor page, then clicking on Create PDF. Save the PDF, which will have the printed text layer. Then go to Combine Files into PDF and include that already created PDF page in the bundle. That will work, but it's another step you have to go through to create your bundle, i.e., your work flow is interrupted by having to accomplish the workaround (documented in Adobe Case No. 0185444461). Acrobat Pro 9 extended did not need this workaround - nor did previous versions. Tech Supports comment was that Adobe changed a lot of things - in this case, not for the good.

PDF file displays different number of text blocks in Acrobat Pro CC 2014 and CS6 versions

Hi,
I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat Pro used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
As viewed in CC 2014:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
As viewed in CS 6:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks.
David

First of all, there is no such thing as Acrobat CS6 or Acrobat CC 2014. We assume you are referring to Acrobat X and Acrobat XI respectively.
Secondly, how are you determining how many text blocks are in the PDF file? By use of the text touchup/edit function in Acrobat? If so, how this edit function displays text doesn't necessarily correspond to the actually underlying text fragments in the PDF file. In fact, sometimes it combines fragments based on heuristics. Those heuristics have varied with different version of Acrobat.
PDF as a file format doesn't know the context of the graphical objects such as text. There is no concept of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a column, etc. in terms of text. Runs of text are context-insensitive. You will get “breaks” when switching between regular and italics or when unusual paragraph justification is involved.
Is the actual problem in trying to edit the text or something else?
If you post a file, and indicate what text we should look at, we can confirm what is actually going on in your file.

Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date. When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash. The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll. HELP!

Here's a slightly better version.
set urllist to {"http://www.cnn.com", "http://www.apple.com", "http://www.macintouch.com"}
set numURLs to (count urllist)
on pageloaded(timeoutvalue) -- in seconds
delay 2
repeat with i from 1 to timeout_value
tell application "Safari"
if (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1) is "complete" then
return true
else if i is timeout_value then
return false
else
delay 1
end if
end tell
end repeat
return false
end page_loaded
tell application "Safari"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
set frontmost to true
repeat with i from 1 to (numURLs)
tell application "Safari"
set URL of document 1 to item i of urllist

Can I create PAdES signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?

Hi
Can I create PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures, Technical Specification ETSI TS 102 778) signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?
ETSI Technical Specification (TS) 102 778 contains five parts:
• Part 1: PAdES Overview – a framework document for PAdES
• Part 2: PAdES Basic – Profile based on ISO 32000-1
• Part 3: PAdES Enhanced – PAdES-Basic Electronic Signatures and PAdES-Explicit Policy Electronic Signatures Profiles
• Part 4: PAdES Long Term – PAdES-Long Term Validation Profile
• Part 5: PAdES for XML Content – Profiles for XAdES signatures of XML content in PDF files
All five parts were published on 31 July 2009.
Thanks for answer.
Dragan

Hi,
The short answer is yes.
Acrobat 8 and later support all of requirements of PAdES such as serial signing, long term validation (time stamping and embedded revocation responses) and signatures in the PKCS#7 format.
