Digital Signatures / Custom Signature Logo

Question

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.
