Custom Digital Signature Preference Edits

I have created some custom digital signatures using existing certificates and unique graphics. I have a question about being able to edit what appears to be "canned" reason statements available in the "Configure Signature Appearance" location in Signature "Preferences". When the digital signature is used with the "Reason" box selected you are provided the opportunity to select from a list of 6 statements. Is there a way to edit these statements or add my own statements specific to my requirements?
I am using Adobe Pro XI
TIA
Vic

Yes, this is all possible.
You will need to write a plugin, that's the only set of APIs that are rich enough.
Look at various samples in the SDK for signatures, stamping images, etc.

  • Outlook 2010 "forgets" Encryption and Digital Signature preferences

    We have several users in our enterprise environment who's Encryption and Signature preferences are not being retained in Outlook. They, seemingly randomly, lose the selected Sign and Encrypt all mail options throughout the day. We are using smart card certificates,
    Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010...
    Has anyone seen this or do you have suggestions on what to look at?

    Hi,
    How did you use the smart card in your environment? Did you use a reader that is attached to your computer or it is inserted to the USB interface of your computer?
    Does those users who have the problem use the smart card in a different behavior comparing to those don’t have the problem?
    We should keep the smart card inserted when you want to digitally sign or encrypt your messages. When the smart card is removed, the certificate is no longer available.
    If I’ve misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

  • Digital Signatures and editing signed documents

    Situation - A medical office wants to digitally sign a document after it has been edited (to make it a legal order) but have the form remain unlocked so it can be edited again.  They want to be able to accomplish this on a single instance of the form without using the server solution just a form designed in LiveCycle with Javascript powering the transactions.  Is this possible?

    You can edit a signed PDF document (assuming you are not using the field collection feature).  This will not "Invalidate" the signature, but it will change the status of the signature.
    I have attached two screen shots to illustrate...  To generate these, I signed a PDF, changed some data and re-validated the signature.
    ValidationStatus.gif shows the status of the actual signature.
    DocStatus.gif shows a "roll-up" status (meaning it checks all signatures on a doc and displays an overview) of the signed document.

  • Adobe XI when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign

    when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign, have downgraded to Adobe X, no options show. Have upgraded back to XI no change. Free software I am using currently.

    There are two types of signatures in PDF: electronic signatures, which are just images (stamps, text, image) and digital signatures.
    If you want to use electronic signatures in Acrobat XI go to Fill&Sign->Place Signature. If a drag rectangle for the digital signature dialog comes up, you have selected digital signatures and Acrobat/Reader remembered it. Cancel it, go back to Fill&Sign->Place Signature and click a triangle to the left of "Place Signature". Then click on "Changed Saved Signature" and select the electronic signature type you want to use.
    If you want to use digital signatures you can create custom digital signature appearance. Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Creation&Appearance->More. In the "Appearances" section click "New". You will be presented with the dialog that allows you to create a custom appearance. If you want to put there your picture or image of your ink signature, you need to prepare this image as a file beforehand, select "Image" radio button, browse to the location of your image file. In Reader you can use only PDF as your image file. In Acrobat you can use many more file formats: JPEG, PNG, etc.

  • Digital signature verbiage

    How do I remove the digital signature verbage to the right of the signature but leave the signature.  In other words, I just want the signature there and nothing else.

    When you set up a digital signature appearance you can customize what appears. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat/Reader you're using:
    Acrobat 9: Edit > Preferences > Security > Digital Signatures > Appearance > Edit
    Acrobat/Reader 11: Edit > Preferences > Signatures > Digital Signatures > Creation & Appearance > More > Appearances > Edit
    Once you've set up an appearance, you can select it from the list when signing.

  • How to format the text  in a Digital Signature for a PDF in landscape orientation?

    I have a custom Digital Signature plug-in which prompts the user to enter few details on a dialog and then renders the signature. Now, the problem is for a page which has PDPageGetRotate value as 90. In this case, the entire content(text) in the signature is rendered reversed i.e its displayed upside down. However, for a page in portrait mode, i.e with rotation value as 0, signature is correctly displayed.
    Can anybody help me by explaining which callback/method to use to frame the text appearance? I think there needs to be some change in the parameters passed to DigSigAPCreateLayeredStreamEx, am i correct?
    Let me know any comments/suggestions on this issue of correctly rendering text in a digital signature for a rotated page.

    Just setup the appropriate transformation matrix.

  • Digital Signature and SharePoint 2013

    Dear Expert,
    My company has a plan to do digital signature and sharepoint 2013. Now, we focus for internal use that I know use AD CS. and in near future we use for external use. We plan to buy 3rd party certificate.
    My question
    1. How to implement this solution? Please suggest
    2. If I implemented AD CS, can we use public certificate in near future.
    3. Can we use public certificate with SharePoint 2013?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to use Digital Signature in SharePoint Server 2013.
    You can use digital signatures in forms ,then use these forms in you SharePoint site.
    In InfoPath form ,you can change the form to allow signature here: File>Info>Advanced form options >Digital Signatures .You can choose to sign the whole form or a field .

  • Can I create an automatic custom file save name/path once I click digital signature field?

    Hi,
    What I'm trying to do is once I click on a digital signature and I add my digital signature it requires me to sign it.  I want to know if there's a workaround to where once I click it it will automatically save to a file name based on a field and to a pre-determined directory?  Say, if I want it to save to a users desktop.  My supervisor is wanting to eliminate his employees having to change the file name to the format he wants and selecting the save location and make it automatic for everyone to have it saved at the same location on their computers. 
    Will likely have everyone in the office create a folder named 'Leave Requests'.  This will be the location on the desktop where all these automatically saved files would go.  The custom file name would be Emp_Name + "Leave Request" + Date where Emp_Name and Date are 2 variables that are user inputted field values on the form.  I have looked around but there doesn't seem to be too much on this one.  I do realize I can't create a custom 'Save As' location and path name but I have read a little about creating a custom automatic save feature and wanted to know if I could implement that.  Here is the information I read about:

    I appreciate all help any of you can give me in this matter.  Thanks!!!

    This tutorial is great!

  • Digital Signatures / Custom Signature Logo

    Good morning -
    I'm getting quickly acclimated to the concept of digital signatures as my employer is stiving towards a paperless office.  I have several questions that have come up, but I'll start with (hopefully) an easy one:
    When a digital signature appearance is beign created, one option is "Logo", which will place the Adobe "A" behind the signature image and timestamp information.  Is it possible to put a custom logo behind there - such as my company's emblem?
    Many thanks,
    Warren

    Hi Warren,
    The answer is yes, you can replace the PDF trefoil (it's not the Adobe A) with your own logo as the background. Open the image file in Acrobat and it will get converted to a PDF file. Don't worry about cropping the image. For this you do need Acrobat as the free Adobe Reader cannot convert images to PDF. The next thing is to save the file with a specific name and to a specific location.
    The file name you are going to use is SignatureLogo.pdf and please note there is no space in the file name. You need to save the file in the following location:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<version>\Security
    Vista or Win 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\<version>\Security
    Macintosh: \Users\<user name>\Library\Application  Support\Adobe\Acrobat\<version>\Security
    I'm sure you've figured out that <user> is going to correspond to the name of the logged in user and <version> is the current major version of Acrobat or Reader. Although Acrobat and Reader get installed into different locations, and even use separate registry entries, they do share the users application data directory.

  • Digital signatures for customer facing documents

    Hello,
    I am a pretty experienced user of Adobe TechComm Suite (FrameMaker, RoboHelp), but I've never needed to dig too deep into Acrobat, so I am a newbie when it comes to setting up digital signatures.
    I am using Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 7 professional, and the people who need to approve documents only have the free Adobe Reader. I don't have access to any sort of workflow system at the moment, and we aren't using a content management system. Adobe EchoSign is not suitable for our documents because of size restrictions and because 3rd-party cloud storage violates corporate policy.
    What I'd like to be able to do is this:
    Include a signatures page when I create a PDF of a document. Place the document at a shared network location (Windows network).
    Notify approvers (Outllok email) that they need to digitally sign a PDF at a shared network location.
    See the digital signatures and see that they all are valid.
    Send out the signed PDF to external customers, in a way that it doesn't show customers that the document includes a form, and doesn't ask for more signatures, but does confirm that the PDF has not been changed since it was signed. Customers must be able to print all or part of the PDF if they want to.
    I have a feeling that I may be missing some steps or some external components. Any advice on how to set this up would be welcome.
    Thanks very much,
    David

    What you want to do can be done with Acrobat, but it depends a bit on how many internal users will be needing to sign the documents. For Reader users (desktop versions on Windows and Mac) to digitally sign a document, it needs to be Reader-enabled with either Acrobat Pro (not Standard) or LiveCycle Reader Extensions. The latter is expensive server-based software.
    A signature field can be set up so that the document is locked to further changes once it is signed, but this involves the user selecting the option or you can pre-configure the document (signature field, specifically) with a bit of JavaScript so it will always be locked after signing.
    The external users will be able to validate the signature (with Acrobat/Reader) and print if you haven't restricted printing.

  • Digital Signature Edit/Add

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 09 and I have been sent a form that needs to be signed digitally and the form came with a blank signature field for me to add my digital signature to. But, when I click the blank field, nothing happens. The field grey box flashes when I click it but apart from that, nothing.
    Can anyone give any advice on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks,

    Hi Ryan,
    Can you reply to this message and use the Attach Files tool to post the PDF in question? I’ll take a look and let you know what’s going on with the file.

  • 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.
