Hi Shree,
As mentioned in your post, the configuration given in the document is Basis related. However, the entire configuration for Digital Signature for Form 16 is available in Note 1168740. Are you facing some problem in opening the links mentioned in the Note?
You can try to visit the below links:
a) Uploading a digital signature in the system:
   You obtain your credentials and the corresponding public keys (as part of a certificate) for certifying and signing from a
   certification authority. Steps to install these credetials is explained at following URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/db/aafb211ead420faeeaa24e99eb5f41/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/1ca382f3ec5873e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Also, go through the Note 1589254 (Form 16 central note for ADS configuration). In order to include digital signature to Form 16's PDF, some additional ADS configuration is required. This note provide check point of ADS configuration for Form16. Once done check the form 16 and let me know if you are getting some error on executing Form 16 with digital signature? Or are the signature not working at all?

Digital signature on Form 16 - PDFManipulation Module error

We are trying to implement digital signature on form 16 and have followed instructions in note # 1168740. One thing that remains is the installation of 'Trusted Anchors'. The procedure for installation of trusted anchors is to copy the Trusted Anchor file (<filename>.cer) to the /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/
TrustManagerService/trust/certificates directory.
We have installed ReaderRights and ServerSignature. All we have is a '.PFX' file that contains the digital signature of the signing authority. This is issued by the authorized Certifying Authority (CA).
Q. What is '.CER' file and where do we get this file from.
When testing the server side signature test program - FP_PDF_TEST_07, we get the following error:
ERROR CODE : 201,501
ERROR MESSAGE :
Processing exception during a "Sign" operation.#Request start time: Fri May 07 14:46:36 IST 2010#com.adobe.ads.exception.FailedCreationExcepti
ADS: com.adobe.ads.exception.FailedCreationException: Failed to create a new instance of PDFManipulation Module, please make sure PDFManipulat
Any tips on how to proceed further will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Shyam,
I have a similar issues and looking for the <filename>.cer file to install the Trusted Anchor to validate digital signature in Adobe Interactive Forms.
Did you resolve this issue?
Can you please let me know where to get this file?

Digital Signatures in forms

I'm trying to create a form with a space for a digital signature that can be applied when the document is opened by adobe reader. I can sign, but everyone else I send it to gets a security message when they try to place a digital signature. What do I need to do to enable recipients to fill out & digitally sign this form in Adobe Reader?

I tried that & my test recipient still wasn't able to put a digital signature on it. Don't know how it's important, but I also saved & sent my document as a standard PDF (not a form), & he was able to put a digital signature on that one.

Collecting digital signatures on forms

Hello. I'm working on turning our paper based forms into forms people can fill out on the computer through Acobat 9 PRO.
I know that you can distribute a form to multiple users who can fill it out and send it back; but I'm needing to send multiple users a filled out form, have then review it and digitally sign the document. So....example:
I send the same form to 2 different, who review the information on their own computers and digitally sign the form and submit it back. So now I have 2 versions of the same form, each one with one signature.
My questions is, is there a way to combine those 2 forms so that I have the same form with both signatures on it???
Also, if that's not an option, is there a way to set up a workflow so that when one person digitally signs the fom and hit submits it goes to the next individual who needs to sign it, untill it's all be signed and then submited back to the distributor? Thanks.
Hope that's not too confusing. Thanks for the help.

If you need to collect multiple signatures on a form, then everyone must have access to and sign only one copy of the form. This is why I suggested using the shared review process. This process does NOT require using the Adobe server as was suggested earlier by astarxy. You can use any web server (even a free hosting account); in my case for internal use I created a SharePoint site which I use as the document and comments repository. Using Acrobat Pro, we place signature fields on the form for each participant. How you set these fields up can really simplify the process:
In the Tooltip for each field you may want to put something like "John Doe Signature" or "Business Analyst Signature" so that it is clear who signs where.
If not using shared reviews, you may want to try adding a script to execute on the signed tab. The script could email the form to you and all other users that are required for your process.
If you need hand-written signatures you could have each person scan their signature to a PDF and assign the PDF to a custom stamp. Users simply stamp where required. I created a menu button that flattens annotations; if I used this stamping optin I would want to either have the option of using that button or have some code within the form's WillSave action to flatten annotations.
If using shared reviews you have the option to customize the email that will be sent to participants. Here you can specify any requirements and give directions, such as "Mike in accounting should review and sign first, followed by Doug in Legal. After Doug signs, the document should be reviewed/signed by Jane in Operations..." You could also comment directly on the form if needed.
There are many possibilities beyond these, although most of which are fairly complex or involve 3rd party companies such as Docusign. Hopefully the ideas listed will help get you going in the right direction.

Insert digital signature to form

Hello all,
I have to insert a digital signature (NOT picture of scanned signature) into a form created in ABAP .
For example in the transaction VF01 we create an SD order , which is automaticcaly attached to an email as PDF FILE and it is send by email. And we want the attached pdf file (order) to be automatically digitally signed.
We have set up Adobe Document Services and set up the SSL connection. But how can I "tell" the form in abap (SE71) , where the digital signature will be inserted?
Any help will be appreciated
zdenek

Hi Zdenìk,
You can find the signature field inside the Livecycle Designer. When you have your form open, click on the Library tab, and the Wed Dynpro Native sub tab. In there, you will see a field called Signature Field. This is what you want to use for digital signatures.
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Kevin

Unable to Sign pdf but can add digital signature, add form data and email

I created a pdf form in Acrobat Pro 10 and saved using the extended Reader using the Enable Additional Features. When I access the pdf online, I can add a digital signature, I can fill in all the text and form fields, I can email it, save it etc. However, if I click on the Sign button, I can't sign it that way (ie the non-digital signature way).
When I click on the button I get the same security message that I did before I had saved it using the extended reader enabled (security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it). I CAN add text and add a digital signature though.
This is SO annoying.

I do not understand which "Sign" button are you talking about? When you say "add a digital signature", do you mean signing the document or adding an unsigned signature field for future signing? Please, provide more details.

Forms, digital signatures, cross platform issues

I am trying to implement pdf forms in an educational environment to utilize digital signatures and reduce paper. The form data does not need to go anywhere. It just stays in the form at this point. Some people on campus have Windows machines, others have Macs. All the Windows machines have Acrobat Pro installed and not Reader. The Mac people are more likely to have Reader. There have been problems with emailing these forms between platforms. Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? My IT department will not support Reader on Windows machines, so the forms have to work in Acrobat and Reader! How should the orginal document I put online be saved to work in both programs and platforms? What direction should I give the users about how to save the forms they fill out and sign? I've looked all over for this kind of info, but can't seem to find it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. FYI, I am not an IT person. Thanks!!!

For Mac users, it will be important that they don't use the Preview application to work with the forms. Preview is the default Mac PDF viewer out of the box, and it corrupts PDF forms when it saves them, so it really needs to be avoided.
In order for Reader to save a filled-in form and apply digital signatures, the forms need to be Reader-enabled, which can be done with Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Standard can Reader-enable documents too, but it doesn't apply the digital signature usage right.
The problem with this is if you will be getting the forms returned to you, you can only use data from no more than 500 instances for the form, including hardcopies. This is an Acrobat License Agreement restriction. If they won't be returned, there won't be a problem. Also, the Acrobat users don't need to use a Reader-enabled version, so you can collect all the forms you want from them.
Email will be most reliable if the user manually attaches the file to an email, as opposed to setting up a button on the forms to submit to an email address. You'll find many threads here discussing the emailing difficulties with forms that are set up this way. The problems can be minimized with user education, as the manual process is available in either case. A submit button provides convenience, unless it doesn't work, and it won't for some users.
