Editing date in digital signature
Hi all,
I am trying to edit a self created digital signature in Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP, especially the apperance of the calendar date. I can only show the date but cannot edit how it should look like (i.e. first day, then month, then year)
Has anybody got any idea?
Thanks in advance

Hello, Sorry I can not help you, but I see you can only show date on
your signature, that's mean that time is not displayed?
I want to eliminate the time in the signature, please see attached.
If you know how to doit please tellme.
Thanks

JSObject returns wrong date. How can I extract correct date from digital signature?
I'm trying to extract name and date from digital signatures by using JSObject in Excel VBA, but JSObject returns wrong date. Year, month, hour and minute are correct, but only day is incorrect.
Here is my code. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.3.
Please tell me what's wrong with this code and how I can extract correct date from digital signatures.
Public Sub sbTest()
Dim oApp As Acrobat.acroApp
Dim oPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim jso As Object
Dim f As Object
Dim sig As Object
Dim strFileName As String
Set oApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set oPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
strFileName = "C:\Test.pdf"
If (oPDDoc.Open(strFileName)) Then
Set jso = oPDDoc.GetJSObject
Set f = jso.getField("Signature1.0")
Set sig = f.signatureInfo()
Debug.Print sig.Name
Debug.Print sig.Date
End If
Call oPDDoc.Close
Call oApp.Exit
End SubHi
You can use TDMS file format to save the data. I have attached a reference Vi.
On button click you can log the data or remove the case structure and continuous log the complete acquisition data.

Dynamic date in Digital Signature
I am looking for a method to add a custom dynamic date field in a digital signature or modify the location and format of the Date field that is already included in the Digital ID Appearance. We are not interested in using a dynamic stamp, if we can avoid it. We are interested in the extra layer of security that the "Sign & Certify" process provides.
We have a signature box on a Construction Title Sheet that has the Date field below the Signature field and I have the custom image created and would like to add a dynamic date that is applied when I sign the document. I tried a javascript in the same method that you would use in a dynamic stamp but it is not working.
Can anyone lend some assistance?
Thanks in advance!

Delaware DOTNo, I am not adding blank signature fields to a PDF. Well.. at least, that wasn't what I was intending when I posed the question.
I have a PDF that is created using a piece of CADD software that is the Title Sheet to a set of plans. Right now, all of the information on that title sheet is filled out using the CADD software. Project title, contract number, milepoint limits, table of contents, Federal Aid number, an image showing a general location of the project on a map, etc... Once that PDF is created, we want to be able to distribute it to up to 12 people for Digital Signatures. Not knowing the exact difference between a Certifying Signature and Approval Signature, we want to be able to use the Sign & Certify process, NOT the Custom Stamp.
I was hoping there would not be a need for the designers/engineers to have to manually add the Date and Signature fields for each of the 12 blocks for every title sheet they create (some might have to create up to 8 or 10 different title sheets with differing information a month).
The other route we could go would be a drastic change to how we create the Title Sheets. We would almost have to turn it into a form and enter the information on the title sheet in Adobe as opposed to using our CADD program to complete the information. The "background" image would be the title sheet with a whole bunch of fields that need to be filled out, along with image fields and signature fields that automatically fill specific date fields, similar to another post I was reading earlier today. That change in business practice would be hard to force these people to accept, I'm afraid.
So, what I was hoping for was to use the Sign & Certify > Place Signature process and have them place a custom signature file using their Digital ID and have that file contain a dynamic date field that is automatically populated similar to how a dynamic stamp in the Commenting tools work.
It doesn't seem like that is possible though, unfortunately.
By the way, I really appreciate the time you are taking to help me through this. -
Trigger a Signature Date when Digital Signature Field is Signed
I'm looking for a way to have a date field populate when a digital signature field is signed on my Adobe Designer Form. The signature technology I'm using does not work seamlessly with Adobe LiveCycle Designer and is unable to add the date when the document is signed. So I was thinking I could call a function to add the date to the date field when the signature field is signed. I just dont know how to do it.
Please help!
Thanks!Here is some code that will allow you to check the signature field:
// check to see if Claimant signature field is signed.
var oSOM = claimsign.somExpression; // Returns the full SOM expression i.e. xfa[0].form[0].form1[0]...
var truncSOM = oSOM.substring(15); // Truncating 'xfa[0].form[0]' from SOM to get acroforms name of the field.
var oState = event.target.getField(truncSOM).signatureValidate(); // Get the current field's signed state
In this case the signature field is called claimsign. After running this code the variable oState will conatin a value ....if it is 0 then the field is not signed. So you can add code like this:
if (oState == 0 ) {
// signature field is not signed
app.alert("You must sign the form before submitting")
} else {
//The signature field is signed
go through your submission process code
Hope that helps

Digital Signature in Business to Business escenario
Hi everybody.
I have the next scenario BTB Idoc to File. The Receiver System is outside our net and I need to guarantee the integrity and the confidentiality of the data with digital signature.
I have the next doubts:
- How can I confiugure the File Adapter Channel? I need to use an existing module to encrypt the file or I had to implement my own module?
- When the third party receive the encripted file, how does they decode the message?
Regards and thank u so muchHi ,
In my knowledge you need to configure the file adapter by selecting FTPS instead of FTP. The is no need of writing the extra modules. Just deploy the necessary certificates. Regarding this certificates contacts your basis. They will help you.

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. -
Possible to validate data entries during Digital Signature?
I have a form that was built from scratch using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2. (WinXP)
I see numerous articles online related to validating user input prior to data submission for an online form via a Submit button, however, I am trying to figure out how to implement the same sort of data validation during the signing of a particular digital signature field in an offline pdf form. Simply, I want to perform data validation during a digital signature instead of when user presses Submit button.
Here's my use-case:
1. Form Originator fills out a large number of data fields and signs form via a CAC cert.
2. Another person will review, possibly edit/add data, and sign another signature block with CAC.
3. Then there is one more final CAC signature on the form before it is completed and then emailed to the right folks for processing.
4. I would like to be able to enforce the population of several Mandatory data fields (at least one Radio button and one text input, possibly others) before the 3rd signature can be applied to the document.
Again, I need to emphasize this is all happening in an offline form, no data submission or database back-end. Also, everything with the digital signatures (and locking up fields afterword) works totally fine, just interested in adding Data Validation capability during Digital Signature.
I am in no way a javascript expert, but I can probably learn from a good example. Any help or guidance is very much appreciated. Thanks...If you are using SignatureField in the form then you will get two events preSign and postSign which you can use to validate the field input just like you do with a Submit button.
Thanks

Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?
We use several fillable forms with digital ID signature fields. A business rule requires a date field next to the signature field. Is it possible to define the date field to auto populate once the user signs the form? I can't check this in Acrobat since I only have the reader.
Hi,
The short answer is yes, but of course you'll need to get Acrobat to edit the PDF file.
Generically, here is what you are looking to do:
Open the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the Signed tab
Select the This script executes when the field is signed radio button
Click the Edit button
Add the code snippet below to the JavaScript editor
Click the OK button on the JavaScript editor
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
// JavaScript code to add the date at signing time
var currentTime = new Date()
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
var day = currentTime.getDate()
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year //Modify into your preferred format
var f = this.getField("Text1"); //Modify the field name as necessary
f.value = signingTime;
Good luck,

Digital Signatures and date fields
I have a form with digital signatures. I understand that the digital signatures have a date on them but until we are fully electronic with the form some users may still print sign and date. With that said we will have a date field next to the signatures. Is there anyway to default the date field to whatever date the form was signed - to tie them together some way? If not is there anyway to make the date field not be less than today's date? That it can't be post dated? Thanks!
JodiCheck the Digital Signature status, if it is in signed state populate the date field with date.
But problem is it will show the current system date, may be user can change their pc/laptop dates.
Please check the attached sample. Script written on change event of Digital Signature field.

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
VicYes, 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. -
Internal+External Data In One Digital Signature
Is it possible to generate a single digital signature for both external data (a file) and internal data (XML metadata relevant to the file)? From the Java Digital Signature API documentation, it would appear that "detached" can handle external data OR internal "sibling" data but not both. And it would appear that both "enveloping" and "enveloped" are strictly internal. If the answer is "yes", a link to sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, you just have to create more than one Reference when generating the signature.
One of the references should point to the external file (probably using a file URI) and the
other reference URI should point to the internal data. -
Create electronic-digital signature for data
Hello
As possible create electronic-digital signature for data, referred through HTTP form internet explorer?
Thank you very much for your support.George,
Thank you for your submission. It was helpful. This allowed me to create the signature block without having to place my own digital signature in the block. However, when I send it to my client (who has Adobe Reader but not Acrobat) she is unable to input her digital signature … I’m now half-way there but I continue to pursue a solution.

Extracting the date value from digital signature/certificate
Hello,
I'd like to extract the date from the signature properties and copy the value over to the date field as shown in snapshot.
I am aware that we can change the appearance of the digital signature to make the date visible but in most case, it is too small to read on hardcopies.
We resort by manually typing in the date, zooming into PDF to read visible date (if any) associated with signature image, to click on the signature image to open the Signature Properties dialog, or to open the Signatures tab window docked to the left.
Manual typing in the date expose us to discrepancy problem when the PDF was created vs. the actual date the PDF was signed (date value associated with digital signature/certificate). For example, person A created a PDF with date typed in and then sent that file over to person B (approving the document), who may digitally sign it a few days later.
Hope I am making sense.
Regards,
Devin
Note: I have originally posted my question in other thread at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3296355You can get the data and other signature properties using the signatureInfo field method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.756.html
But for you application you really should be setting the date field before the signature is applied, since changing it afterwards would invalidate the signature. You can execute a script that sets the valud of the data field with the current date using the "Signaute Signed" event, which you'll see as one of the tabs of the signature field properties dialog. -

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?
