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.

Appearance of Digital Signature in Adobe Acrobat 8

I am creating a digital Signature in Adobe Acrobat 8 and am having difficulty getting all the information to appear clearly. The first example below shows, the signature, name and date. I would also like to include the name of the Company. The only way I have been able to do that is by clicking the “distinguished name” box in the appearance section of the digital signatures. An example of this signature is also shown below. However, additional information such as the name (again), email and country are also being listed. There are numerous abbreviations and equal signs now appearing as well. Ideally I would like the signature to look like the first one with the company name appearing just above the person’s name. Can anyone help me do this?
Thank you!

Hi,
For the first problem (word wrap). The problem you are encountering is if "Maryanne Doe" is too long to fit in half of the signature field, the text wraps to the next line. The signature appearance that is written into the signature field consists of two halves. The left half contains the graphic properties and the right half contains the text properties.
You need to lengthen the width of the area where the graphics portion of the signature is contained. You can do this one of two way. Either lengthen the physical dimensions of the signature field before you sign. Or, you could create a custom signature appearance where you turn off all of the text properties, which has the effect of giving the whole signature fields over to the graphics portion. To play with custom signature appearances:
Select the Edit > Preferences (Win) or the Acrobat > Preferences (Mac) menu item
Select Security from the Categories list box
Click the New button in the Appearance group box
If you select the No Graphic radio button you give all of the space to the text portion. If you deselect all of the checkboxes in the Configure Text area, you give all of the space to the graphics portion.
While you are in the Preferences dialog, select Identity from the Categories list box. Go ahead and fill in all of the editable fields. This is where the data is procured during the creation of a self-signed digital ID. I think that will fix the second issue you raised.

In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

If the other person will be using Reader, you should first add a digital signature field and then Reader enable the form. In Acrobat 10 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to get into form editing mode. You'd then select the signature field tool to add a signature field.
Once you have the document finalized, Reader-enable the document by selecting: File > Save As > Reader-Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
being sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original. If you don't Reader-enable, Reader users won't be able to digitally sign.

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.

Formatting .pdf documents with digital signature block

I have created a 2007 MS Access database that exports reports to .pdf format. The reports look great and all works well. The issue I have now is finding a way to automatically apply to a signature block to the reports after they are created. Is there some sort of code format or text I can add to the report prior to it being exported to a .pdf file where Adobe will recognize it as a digital signature block, and create a digital signature block on the form? Several of these forms will be created daily and it would not be productive to manually add signature blocks to every single report.

Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 under Windows 8.1 x64

Good Afternoon,
my company plan migration from Windows XP to Windows 8.1 x64. For this reason shall I find out, which Software run under Windows 8.1 x64. From Adobe Products we need to know, if Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 run under Windows 8.1.
If the Software named above run not under Windows 8.1 x64, could you write me please, which version we need und how much it is. Thank you very much.
Best Regards

If you have Acrobat, there is no need for Reader. Acrobat 8 is not certified for use on Win8.1, only Acrobat XI. You can get the current cost from the Adobe Store at Adobe.com. The cost is a per computer license. If you have a lot of computer, you might be able to negotiate with Adobe on a volume order or site license (for so many licenses) -- you would have to call Adobe on that.
AA 8 can be made to work in some cases, but I would not recommend it in a business environment. It is not worth risking some hickup with software that is marginally compatible when you have some deadline or such.

Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

Hi All,
I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
Waiting for an acknowledgement.

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

How do I delete a digital signature in adobe acrobat 8 as it has been spelt incorrectly?

A digital signature was created in adobe acrobat 8 professional but has been spelt incorrectly - how can I delete or edit it?

What if you do this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
But I do not think it will work since you can only sync/unsync with one iTunes library and the iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library.
- Do the following to restore the iPod and not lose anything:
- iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- If you have synced photos then you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView which are paid. They also do music.
- Connect the iPod to the conmputer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices iniTunes and slect Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

How do I remove a digital signature from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have set it up wrongly.

I created a digital signature but I wanted to change the signature and it also was not password protected. So I deleted the signature but cannot delete the certificate to set it up again.
Mac OS X (Operating System)
So I am unable to delete the digital signature in Acrobat Xi pro.
I did the following: Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Creation and Appearance Preferences and deleted the signature. But Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Digittal ID and Trusted Certificate Settings, does not want to delete.
Tank you.

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

Digital Signature not allowed Acrobat 9.5.2

I created a form in Acrobat Pro and saved with extended functions. I'm using Acrobat Standard 9.5.2 which allows me to add digital signature. Most other employees can add signatures as well. However, there are a couple (using the same version software above) that when they open the file the security for digital signature is set to "Not Allowed". When I open the same document signatures are allowed. Therefore, is appears their software settings is setup differently than everyone elses. Can you help identify which setting needs to be changed?

Classification: For internal use only
I can't attach images at this point. The security method for both is No
Security. However, on the other user computer next to signature it states Not
Allowed. However, when they open the same form they see an error on top that
does not show up when I open the same form. The error message is, 'At least
one signature has problems. Please fill out the following form. You cannot
save data typed into this form. Please print your completed for if you would
like a copy for your records'. However, when I open the same for I do not get
that message. It almost seems like a security setting within their reader or
not.

How do I delete all existing digital signatures in Adobe Acrobat?

There must be a way to do it. Can anyone assist? Thank you.

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation!
Let me give a little more detail and better explanation of what I have done.
1.      I digitally signed (with a digital id” I had created) a document to be filed with an agency.
2.      This “signature” ( digital id) had information that included my name, time, date and an acrobat watermark in red.
Essentially typed information that proved the document came from my computer (me?).
3.      I was informed that I would have to sign in ink, scan to PDF, and upload it to them, or
4.      Create a “digital signature” that had my name, address, phone, fax, email, etc., and upload that to them.
5.      I tried to create such a digital signature (after reading your email perhaps I was off base a bit) without success- the place I was attempting this using “PKCS#12 digital ID File” but it allowed only limited information to be input and required a password.
6.      I then deleted my old digital id in “security settings” in order to again try to create a new digital “signature” using the “PKCS#12 digital ID File” format.
7.      I now am still attempting to create a new digital “signature” and when I get to the last set up page for the “PKCS#12 digital ID File” (where it asks for a file location and password “for your new digital ID file”), by selecting “add digital id” and hit the bullet for “a new digital id I want to create now.” In the last page of these creation pages there is a “file name” box and a “password” box.
I think this is asking for my forgotten password which I cannot remember. If it was asking for a new password, I recall two password boxes to insure the password it typed correctly.
So I am stuck, I cannot create a new “digital id” which I thought was a digital “signature” and have deleted my old digital id.
In the past I have use a scanned “signature” as in read below but became afraid it could be manipulated in some fashion in important documents and that is why I started using the digital id in Acrobat X, which I thought was a digital “signature”.
So, how far off base am I? What do I do now that I have deleted my digital id in security settings?
Thanks so much for your help.

How can I create digital signatures for my users using Windows 2008 Active Directory Certificate Services?

Hi,
I need to create local digital signatures for my users. How can I do that using W2k8 Active Directory Certificate Services? We are gonna sign Office 2010 documents.
What company offers cheap digital signatures solutions?
Thanks in advanced

Consider the following:
if you use your local CA server to issue digital signature certificates, there is no cost, because you are eligible to issue so many certificates as you need. However, documents signed by these certificates will be considered trusted only within your AD
forest and other machines that explicitly trust your local CA. Any external client will not trust your signatures.
If you want to make your signature trusted outside your network (say, in worldwide), you need to pruchase a certificate from trusted commercial CA (VeriSign, GoDaddy, GlobalSign, StartCom, etc) according to respective vendor price list. In that case you
don't need to have your local CA server, because it is not used. All certificate management is performed by the external CA. A most common scenario is to purchase signing certificate for particular departament principals (head managers) or few certificates
for a whole company (all documents are revised by a responsible person or persons who holds signing certificate and sign them after review).
so, it is not clear from your post what exactly you need.
