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
<link to blocked site removed by moderator>
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
VJ
Moderator message: this is the wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe".

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!!
Thanks
VJ

ADOBE Form - How to include digital signatures in adobe forms?

Hi all,
Can any one tell me the procedure for including a digital signature in adobe form?
Thanks,
Vineel.

Hi,
If you have a third party software which captures the signatures (Ex: ePad), then you can have that integrated to SAP where all the signatures get stored as in SE78. From here you can insert directly in Adobe Form using Graphic Content method in an image field. Hope this is helpful for you.

Digital Signatures in Adobe Forms (Non-Interactive)

Hi everyone,
I need to sign a receipt that will be sent by e-mail. The form is non-interactive, it´s only a simple receipt. This form may be printed or sent by e-mail; in case of being sent it must be signed before sending it. The receiver should be able to open it using Adobe Reader.
I´ve read other posts/help about singatures in Adobe Forms, but none of them of non-interactive forms; I need to know if it is possible to do this if the form is not interactive, and how it can be done.
Thanks!

How i add digital signature in interactive form

Hi gurus,
I want to upload an Digital Signature in Adobe forms. Could any body tell me the procedures please help me out.
Thank you,
pawan

Hi Pawan,
Inorder to make use of Digital Signatures in forms, you have to first configure the ADS based on SSL and not Basic Authentication. Refer to the ADS Configuration guide for the same.
After the configuration using SSL as the security mode, you need to place a signature field when designing the Adobe form.
In addition you need to create a signature in Adobe Reader(if used to display the form) which you can use to sign the document at runtime.
Hope this helps.

Problem creating PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X - where do I confirm the Password?

I cannot create a PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X. It says the passwords don't match when I create it. The problem is, I never was asked to confirm the P/W when I created it. It asked once for the P/W and then the only thing I can do is click "Finish" and then it says my P/W don't match. I am able to create a DS on my other computer using Reader 9 (and it did ask me to confirm the P/W when creating). I have re-booted my computer and still it will not work.

You'll need to ask in the Acrobat Pro forum. There are people there with expertise who can answer this. I use Acrobat myself, but I'm a novice when it comes to signature settings.

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.

How to create a digital signature in adobe reader

how to create a digital signature in adobe reader?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "modern" UI) does not support any types of signatures yet.
Digital Signatures with certificates
Electronic Signatures (that are legally enforceable)
Signature annotations (hand-writing annotations which may not be secure and legally enforceable)
Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) supports #1 and #3.
Adobe EchoSign supports #2.
Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports #3.

Digital Signatures in Adobe 8 Professional

I have 2 questions regarding digital signatures in Adobe Acrobat Professional
1.) Is it possible to digitally sign a document multiple times without having to resave the document each time you sign? This would be really helpful in dealing with contracts in adobe where multiple signatures are required.
2.) If you email a pdf with digital signatures is it possible for the recipient to delete these signatures? Or to not be able to view them?
Thanks a lot!

Regarding #1, the short answer is no. Every time the file is digitally signed it necessitates it being saved. That's what allow "View Signed Version" and signature roll back to work.
As for # 2, it depends on the version of Acrobat. Versions 6 and 7 allowed anyone to remove a signature as long as it wasn't a certifying signature. In the case of the certifying signature on the signer could remove. Beginning with version 8 you can only clear if you have access to the digital ID that was used to create the signature.

Digital Signatures on Scanned forms

Is it possible to apply Digital Signatures on Scanned form; i.e can we add a hidden signature field?
Thanks,

Answered my own question. These numbers represent the time zone of the area where the digital signature was created.

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

What is your operating system? What is your Reader version? What means "can not"?
Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

Form 16 With digital signature giving adobe document corrupted output

Dear All,
We have configured ads and implementing form 16 with digital signature,we have done the all configuration as per SAP Guide and dezso blogs,but when generating the form 16 with digital signature its giving
"Adobe reader could not open _xxxxx.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or corrupted,
we have done the same configuration in dev its working fine and prd its not working,request you to please provide the solution for the same.
as per some check list i have cheked ads_https is working fine,but when executing the report fp_pdf_test_00 with rfc ads_https its asking for user name and password,we have maintained the same user name and password for abap and java for both adsuser and ads_agent still same issue,
pelase suggest.
please find attached screenshot for your reference.
Regards,
Basis

This can be done but you must use the Document Form var to route the signed pdf. You must configure the FormGuide submit button to 'Submit from PDF' in Guide Builder.
Also the button on the form must be configured to submit as 'PDF' (not XDP). This change is done when you open the form in designer.
Note that after you have submitted the signed pdf you will be dealing with a pdf subsequently.
Attached is a sample FormGuide.

Digital Signatures with Adobe Reader

So i created an adobe form with acrobat 9 and sent it out for all to digitally sign. about half are getting an error when they try to sign it. "The credential selected for signature is invalid"
We are a government agency and use Common Access Cards (CAC) certificates to digitally sign with.
i was hoping someone out there could either point me to a good recource for adobe and digital signatures or to a possible fix.
now we have narrowed it down to the problem being with the specific machine. the user can digitally sign the document on another machine, but not on thier own machine. Also, no one else can sign the doc on thier machine either.
Thanks in advance!

issue still exists. ive been searching for some info on how adobe handles digital signatures, like what folders are created on the machine. im thinking maybe i can clear out the app data for acrobat or something. im at a loss at the moment.

Question from worse than Newbie about digital signatures and Adobe Reader.

1st, thanks for taking the time to even look. 2nd, We are trying to use digital signature pads with PDF documents created by Documaker 11.4. In Adobe Pro there is a setting "Extend features in Adobe Reader" that will allow users with Adobe Reader to sign the PDF documents, however our "guy" creating the forms cannot find anything like this in Documaker. I've never used Documaker before and dont have a copy to even play with, but I was hoping there was a simple "go here, click this" answer.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for you time,
Jeff Holt

I'm not expert on Documaker, but I'm close to them and will try to find an answer if I can be sure of the question.
Documaker is capable of creating PDF signature markers in the output PDF. Those markers are compatible with tools like Acrobat which can sign the documents. Is your question about how to create the markers or are you doing that and finding that Acrobat Reader will not allow you to sign them?
I'd have to research Adobe's licensing for Acrobat and Reader to see if that was the issue. I know certain features in Acrobat Reader are locked down by Adobe so you have to have another product license from them to enable the feature. If that is the problem, then I'm pretty sure that Documaker has no mechanism to provide a license token to specifically enable the Acrobat Reader product.
If you can provide more specifics, I'll try to follow up. You may also contact Customer Support, if you haven't already and open a case there requesting a specific question be answered.
Best Regards.
