Digital Signature Interactive PDF form

Hi
I am Trying to make an Interactive PDF form with a functionality to Display and hide Specific Fields Using a Button
Is It possible to Digitally Sign such a PDF
If it is
Will the signature be removed once i Activate the Interactive Functionality from the form of Display\Hide a field  ?

To further elaborate:
There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm
Questions though:
(1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!
(2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.
Thanks again,
Jonathan

  • Non-Digital Signature on PDF Form

    I've created a form and have a space where a signature is needed.  I'd like to use the signature field, but when my audience tested it the box was blank and did not allow them to upload a digital signature or go through the adobe security signature process (which it did for me).  This could be because they are only looking at it in Reader.  Nonetheless, here's my question:
    Is there a way to create a signature field where they can either upload their own electronic signature (like from a .jpg file) or let them sign it with a different font?
    Or do I just leave the signature field off, let them print it and hard sign the form, scan it and email it back?
    Help!

    Recent versions of Acrobat can use digital certificates to sign PDF forms with a digital signature field.
    Only Reader version XI can use a digital certificate to sign a PDF form with a digital signature field only if the form does not have Extended Reader Rights. Older versions or Reader cannot sign with a digital certificate.
    If you need this or all versions or Reader you either need to use Echosign or other signing service or purchase a LIveCycle Server product to apply the special right for digital certificate signing. But this will be costly.

  • How to send digital signature from pdf form to fdf file?

    Hi...
    I already create the pdf form that contain digital signature field using ACROBAT XPRO...and now i would like to send data from pdf form to fdf file.I already manage to send data from other field except the digital signature.How to send the signature digital value to FDF file so that i can display it back to PDF file next time?Can anyone help me...i really need help right now...
    tq..

    hi....
    thanks for replying..

    It did work with earlier versions that did not perform a full save when a signature was applied. Since Acrobat/Reader now do a Save As when a signature is applied, there are no incremental saves to include in the FDF. This can still be useful for forms that haven't been signed, oddly enough, but since you cannot control whether the user performs a full save, it shouldn't be relied on for general use. The big problem is extracting the appended saves from the FDF so you can concatenate it to original document. The FDF Toolkit is the only thing I'm aware of that helps with this.
    as u said that,Fdf tool kits can help to solve my problem.Can u send me the sample of code using java so that i can get the value using Fdf Tool kits?
    Thanks..

  • When clicking the Signature box in an interactive PDF form IE crashes.

    When we click on the Signature box in an interactive PDF form loaded inside Internet Explorer, it will crash the browser with a message "Internet Explorer has stopped working."
    We have tried:
    -this on PDF forms created with Adobe Acrobat Professional X and XI
    -loaded the forms on Windows 7 IE 8 and IE 9
    -Adobe Reader X and XI
    -loaded IE in no add-ons mode
    and the issue still persists. We believe there is an issue with how Internet Explorer and Adobe are communicating but don't understand why clicking inside the Signature box, IE crashes? Any thoughts? Is this related to some kind of Windows update that is impacting the ability to sign PDFs when loaded inside IE browser?

    I will not be able to upload any forms as it is propietary information, but here are the steps taken to create the form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X or XI:
    Open the PDF in Adobe Pro and click Tools.
    In the Forms menu, click Edit.
      Click Add New Field > Text Field.
    Place the field on the document and edit the field name with the text [MAGICWORD]. This is a magic word that allows the signed form to be saved in the right location.
    Click the All Properties link.
    Change the Form Field from Visible to Hidden but Printable under Common Properties.
    To add other visible magic word fields (optional),  click Add New Field > Text Field.
    Click Add New Field > Digital Signature.
    Click Add New Field > Button.
    Click the All Properties link.
    Click the Actions tab.
    Under Add an Action: 
    Select Trigger – Select Mouse Down.
    Select Action – Select Submit a form.
    Click Add.
    Enter the URL:(https://anythingcangohere.com)
    This enables the signed form to be submitted and saved in the right location.
    Under Export Format, select PDF The complete document.
    Click OK.
      To add a label to the button, click the Options tab.
    Label: – Enter Submit to athenaNet or Submit.

  • How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

    How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

    Hi,
    Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.
    To download Adobe Reader

    You can purchase Adobe Acrobat

  • Extend SAP R/3 4.x with Interactive PDF Forms

    Hi there,
    In this blog of Matthias Zeller <a href="http:///people/matthias.zeller2/blog/2004/06/22/the-hidden-secret-of-adobe-reader hidden secret of Adobe Reader</a> there is the following paragraph:
    <i>While mySAP ERP 2004 provides many business scenarios using Interactive Forms out-of-the-box, a lot of customers have asked me how they can use the new Interactive Forms with existing R/3 applications. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to vote for my SAP TechEd presentation proposal ("Extend your SAP R/3 4.x applications with interactive PDF forms"). I plan to discuss how you can connect your existing SAP R/3 applications with SAP Web AS 6.40 to enable interactive form workflows.</i>
    Can somebody tell me if this presentation is somewhere on SDN? Or can somebody tell me where i can find more information about this subject?
    Thx in advance.
    Regards Maarten.

    Hi Maarten,
    Here's a brief run-down on how you could make use of SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms and Workflow:
    1) Remember that a form is really just a UI for collecting data.  A PDF form can be used to collect data online (connected to your SAP system) or offline, e.g. you could send it as a mail attachment, fill it in, and email it to a central point for uploading into the system. 
    2) The main requirements for using SAP Interactive Forms are:
    a) A NW04 (6.40) or NW04s (7.00) WebAs (Java Stack) to run Adobe Document Services. This is the critical component that assigns ReaderRights to the document, e.g. so that the user can change the data and save it on the document.   You could run a WebAs like this alongside your R/3 4.7 - e.g. if you have an XI system or Enterprise Portal you could use that system to run Adobe Document Services.  Every form you create must be generated via the Adobe Document Services to get the Reader Rights. Note: Get a NW04s environment if you can - as this release has usefuul new features such as loading attachments to the PDF, using digital signatures, etc.
    b) A WebDynpro application to generate the Adobe form via Adobe Document Services, and to execute the Adobe Form when using online mode, and to upload offline forms.  Tutorials on how to do this are available in SDN - have a look at the Adobe section within WebDynpro. Note: From ECC 5.0 there are some standard WebDynpros apps provided, but in R/3 4.7 you will need to write your own.
    c) There's also a licensing requirement for any production custom forms (SAP provided forms and cosmetic changes to those forms are free) so make sure you get your SAP account manager involved to help sort out how your intended usage will fit in with your current license agreement and any discounts that may apply.
    3) To use the "form" with workflow has some additional requirements:
    a) You need to store the data entered via the form somewhere that is accessible by Workflow.  The easiest approach here is to use the standard form handling technique Internet Service Requests.  Transaction QISRSCENARIO will let you define all of the form fields, give you BADIs for doing validation, raising workflow events, etc.  Also from ECC 5.0 onwards using Adobe forms as the form entry is a standard option for this technique, so this will help reduce the upgrade impact when you eventually do upgrade.
    b) Assuming you use ISRs, have your WebDynpro App call the function module ISR_PROCESS_EVENT to pass the data to R/3 and do the validation checks.
    c) Assuming you use ISRs, you use the BOR object for notification such as BUS2078, as your main object for the workflow.  The form data is attached to the notification and can be retrieved using function module ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET.
    d) If you want to call your WebDynpro App from SBWP (I take you don't have Enterprise Portal?) then use transaction WF_EXTSRV to define the web service to call your WebDynpro app and generate a workflow task for it.  Also you must configure transaction WF_HANDCUST to enable R/3 to handle web services.  Note: If you do have the Enterprise Portal, you can use transaction SWFVISU instead.
    I'd strongly recommend you read the ISR cookbook at http://service.sap.com/isr as well.   ISRs aren't the only way to use Adobe forms with R/3 but they are extremely handy if you want to use your Adobe form with Workflow.
    As for Lotus Notes, you can use your WebDynpro app to generate and send/receive a form to/from an email address.  You can also put a hyperlink in your workflow task to call your WebDynpro app and use RSWUWFML2 (swap to Enhanced Notifications when you upgrade) to send out a mail with the hyperlink attached as per usual.
    You'll also find some useful threads on Adobe forms and Workflow in the SDN BPM Forum.  So if you have workflow specific questions try raising them in the BPM forum.
    Enjoy!

    Jocelyn

  • Digital Signature problem : Adobe forms

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing one issue in Adobe forms while implementing Digital Signature in one of the Custom Adobe form. I am following some steps as mentioned in the below link

    The problem is when I execute my Adobe form I am not getting SIGN button in my generated form as mentioned in the link.
    I am using Adobe Live cycle designer 8.2 and Adobe reader 9.
    Please help me out on this since I am new to Adobe forms as well.
    Thanks

    Apart from the above question can anybody guide me whether do we need Adobe Acrobat instead of Adobe reader to implement  Digital Signature in Adobe form.
    Looking forward towards some useful suggestions!!

  • Digital Signature on PDF

    Hi Folks!
    I'd like to digitally sign a PDF document out of an ABAP program or class, just to ensure that the document was not modified by anyone.
    In my program I hold the PDF as a binary stream in a XSTRING variable. I convert it into a binary table and use the function module 'SSF_KRN_SIGN_BY_AS' to sign this binary stream. In general, this is working fine (validating it with function module 'SSF_KRN_VERIFY' is successful).
    But if I open the generated file with Acrobat Reader, no signature is found.
    Obviously it does not work to sign the binary directly, as I did.
    How can I create a digital signature on PDFs using ABAP? Do I have to convert it into ASCII or so before? Or: How must a signature be attached to a PDF file?
    Our release is 620. Every little hint is appreciated.

    Torsten

  • Interactive PDF forms

    Hi,
    In Our project we are creating an Interactive PDF form. This form shows some data that we get from the bapi.While creating the form there is no issue.
    We are also saving the generated PDF's at some location in the server. Through a different application we are accessing these old stored pdf's. Now when we save the PDF to our local machine and try to open it we get a message saying:
    >"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document".
    With this message all the javascript written on the PDF form get disabled and due to this few of the data are not getting displayed.
    What can be the reason for this? Does it has something to do with ADS configuration on the server?
    Please reply.
    Thanks & regards,
    Sujit

    Hi, Sujit!
    To me it seems that the document somehow gets modified while you process. Try to save your file on the local machine under a new name, enable and save again.

  • Cannot open/view/access interactive pdf form using Safari

    I was unable to open interactive pdf forms from websites with Safari 6 on my iMac. I received the following message:
    Quote
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
    For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
    Unquote
    I still couldn't view/open/access the form even after I upgraded to Version 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader.
    This problem happens only (I believe) after I updated OS X and Safari. Previously I was able to do it without any trouble as recently as July 2013. However, I don't encounter any issue if it is just an ordinary pdf document especailly if it can be downloaded to be opened later.
    As far as I can ascertain, I don't have any plug-in except for McAfee SiteAdvisor 2.0, 1Password 3.9.0, AdBlock 2.5.46 (which is disabled), Evernote Web Clipper 5.7, and Open In Internet Explorer 1.0 (by Parallels).
    I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
    Can anyone please help? Thank you.

    Thank you, Carolyn Samit and andyBall_uk, for your prompt responses and suggestions.
    Although I didn't follow your recommendations, they gave me some idea regarding what to do to resolve the issue.
    The solution is actually very simple. I uninstalled my existing Adobe Reader (using CleanMyMac 2 but I believe moving the app to trash should do it as well), downloaded a fresh copy (version 11.0.04) and reinstalled it again. When the software was being installed, it asked whether I wanted to make Adobe Reader (AR) the default PDF reader. I indicated OK and allowed installation to proceed and finish.
    After installation of AR, I reopened Safari and went to a website to click the link to the pdf form. And lo and behold, I was able to open/access/view the document! It worked with a second website.
    So the lesson is when installing an upgrade remember to make Adobe Reader the default PDF reader.
    I hope that this procedure can help others resolve their issue if they have a similar problem.

  • Can someone help me in building an interactive PDF form with dynamic bounding box?

    Hi Guys,
    I need to create an interactive PDF form which will contain images, text and fields.
    This is how it would be laid out:
    Header Image at the top.
    Below that a Text Box with a question "Choose the number of licenses" and a drop down option from 1 to 10.
    Depending on what they select, I need the following to be displayed.
    The following should be encapsuled by a bounding box.
    If "1" is selected. "Username: <blank field>    Password: <blank field>
    Then a button which says "Click Here To Login To Your New Account".
    The bounding box should end here.. and I have more text and images below.
    This I could achieve! But now if I select "2" I would need the bounding box to automatically become taller to accommodate two rows with "Username <blank> Password <blank>
    The bounding box needs to expand or contract based on the number selected in the drop down.
    Would love to here your thoughts on this!
    Cheers,
    Rajiv

    If you were to look at the spec for PDF, you'd see that that is probably not possible with a PDF file.
    But, I encourage you to ask this question in the Acrobat PDF Forms forum where the forms experts reside, and perhaps they could suggest an answer. JavaScript can be used, and perhaps that's the answer:
    PDF Forms
