Electronic signature field

we are looking into Digital and Electronic Signatures.. I was wondering if there was any way in Crystal Reports XI deployed by Crystal Reports Enterprise Server XI R2 via RAS using ASP to convert the report to PDF. to have the PDF prefilled with a signature area (like what Adobe LifeCycle creates)..
so that the people just have to click the field to sign it..

I don't believe so. You can of course export the Crystal report to pdf but the electronic signature part would require custom programming.

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.

Electronic Signature Field Indicator

We are deploying an eForms application that uses the standard electronic signature field from the Designer object library. The basic process flow is: (1) Form is rendered via an XDP file from the Form Server using the Reader Extensions API to apply rights. (2) User completes the form and signs using the self-signed signature field. The field displays a check-mark indicating the form is signed correctly. (3) User hits "submit" button which invokes a processForm servlet that sends the form as a PDF file attachment within an email to an internal mailbox. Problem: when we open the PDF form in the mailbox, it shows a "?" in the signature field. As you hover over this field, you get the following message: "Signer's identify unknown, the document has been updated since signed". This message will be confusing to our users that will process the PDF form attachment.

I don't believe so. You can of course export the Crystal report to pdf but the electronic signature part would require custom programming.

How to edit signature fields in Adobe EchoSign

In this tutorial, learn how to use digital signatures, including how to edit electronic signature fields and other input fields in Adobe EchoSign.

It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

I cannot place an electronic signature in a document with form fields?!

I have Acrobat Pro installed on a windows 7 and windows 8.1 machine. On both I have lost the ability to place an electronic signature (Draw my signature) and only have the option for a digital signature. The problem is remedied if I print to pdf but then I lose the form fields.
I'm an idiot and so are the people that I need to send this to. I just want to easily fill the necessary fields out, draw my signature and forward it to the next guy to do the same so that it can be printed and turned in. Digital signatures are severe overkill for this (and i'm not going to be able to teach everyone how to create one) and I need to know how to re-enable the ability to electronically sign and keep the form fields.

re: "Digital signatures are severe overkill for this"
Yep, I discovered that as well.
I rolled my own "signature" for a client...I just added a 3 character "initials" field and a "Certify" button.
The initials act as the signature and once they hit the certify button, all form fields are set to read-only....via custom javascript.
The only problem is that I am unable to SAVE the document via javascript because of Acrobat trusted functions....
which I don't have.
So I just prompt the user to Save the document at that time.
It's a little ugly, but it works..

Can I open a Reader 9 Document with electronic signatures in Reader 10?

I currently have an Adobe Reader 9 document with fields filled out and also with several electronic signatures.
I need to be able to edit this document.
My understanding is that I can only edit or add the typewritter tool only when using Reader 10.
So couple of questions. First, will I be able to open this Reader 9 document using Reader 10?
Second, will I be able to add the typewritter tool once I download Reader 10?
Third, will I be able to make changes to existing form field data, once I add the typewritter tool?
Fourth, will this process invalidate the digital signatures already authenticated?

The "Typewriter tool" is only available in Acrobat Pro. Reader 11 DOES have the ability to "Add text comments" to a PDF but it isn't exactly the same thing. I'm unsure if "comments" will print or not.

Printing issue with Electronic Signatures

In the footer of my document, i place document properties and also use the captioning feature for tables and figures. I have saved it in native 2010 format not in a compatability mode.
When I print my document (paper or PDF) these fields print properly.
After I electronically sign the document and look at the document on the screen, the fields and caption numbers (Table 1-1: Intended Audience) appear correctly. When I print to PDF or paper, the numbers disappear (Table 1-: Intended Audience) and they
also disappear from the screen.
When I close the document and reopen it, the fields are correct. It only changes after the document prints.
Using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version 14.0.6023.1000 (32-bit).
(--merging--)
The original document was a 2007 document opened/stored in the 2010 format.
Reproduced with new 2010 document simply by creating two properties:
Template Version - Test - Value 1.0
Template Date - Date - Value 1/25/2012
And doing the following:
Using the default Normal template with calibri as the font
Added a heading level 1 to the document
Added a 2x2 table with Insert Caption including the chapter number based on heading 1 below the table
Added the template version and template date as two lines on the page
Inserted a signature line
Created a footer with the template version, page number aligned center (via tab), template date alighted right (via tab)
Printed without signing and all data was present (Table 0-1: Test)
Signed the document and printed. The following was missing:
The template date in the footer.
The table label was Table 0-: Test
The template date was present in the middle of the document

Hi,
Is this problem only affect Word program with Electronic Signatures?
Please try to test Printing with different printer drivers.
If the Word printing problem occurs only when you print documents with a certain font or a certain type of graphics image, try to print to another printer.
If no other printer is available, contact the manufacturer to find out whether there is an updated version of the driver or a different driver that works with your printer model.
You may also follow other methods in this KB article troubleshoot print issue in word:

Can you send a document for Shared Review once you've applied an electronic signature?

Hi! I'm having troubles sending a document for shared review, I need 3 people to digitally sign it and then send it on a shared review. I keep getting this error message however:
'The document you have chosen cannot be sent for shared review or collaboration because its current security permissions do not allow modifications. Please choose another document or change this document to allow modifications.'
I'm not sure how I can 'allow the modifications' - where's this option?
I've tried 'File/Save As/Reader Extended PDF/Enable Commenting & Measuring' but this didn't help.
We can't use stamps for signing as we want to be able to verify signatures.
Any suggestions on what the issue may be?
Thanks in advance!
Mel

thanks George for your response. Basically what we do in our engineering company is have the author and supervisor sign a document (verfiying that its at a good enough level) to go out on review, and if its something that needs to go to our client for review there'll be a 3rd approver signature before it leaves our office - then the client will put it on shared review amongst their staff.
when we're having a play around with this trying to get this to work, we aren't going in and locking the document after any of the signatures. but I'm also not sure of what you need to do to 'enable' a document before initiaiting the send for shared review process. Are you able to give me a step by step on how to set this up - and how to see if a signature field is 'preconfigured to lock a document' - that actually might be the root of the problem!
Sorry I'm not a huge whizz on adobe, I haven't had to use it for a review process in quite a while but my current company is wanting to go electronic.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Mel

Electronic signature must be completely enclosed in page boundaries

I am getting this message when I try to apply a signature to an invisible field:
Electronic signature must be completely enclosed in page boundaries
Supposedly digitally signing a PDF this way just puts the digital signature in the digital signatures "tab" and not visibly on the actual PDF document...why would I be receiving this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone could provide

is the field off the page?

Electronic signature problems - documents are corrupting

I've been having periodic issues with people trying to electronically sign PDFs. Saving the document to a server, having the signatories open it (one person at a time!) and then trying to sign and then getting an error message "The document could not be signed". This corrupts the file in terms of signatures; once that error appears, nobody else can sign any other signature space, they get the same error message, and signatures are deemed "invalid".
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, what are the possible solutions?

It's possible to automate the process. You can use a batch process (aka Action) that adds a digital signature field to each document in a collection and then signs it. The JavaScript methods you'd use include doc.addField and field.signatureSign:

Electronic signature in about 100 documents at a single blow?

In our company we are not using Acrobat yet (except the reader), but thinking of buying it as we need to implement electronic signature for future processes. Now I need to know if it is possible to sign a large amount of documents electronically in one go e.g. maybe by using actions? Or is it necessary to open each single document to sign it.
The thing is we create measurement reports and some orders include up to 150 parts. For each part a seperate measurement report will be created which needs to be signed. If our technician has to open each report to sign it, it'll take him at least an hour to get all the refering documents signed.
Any idea to get this done efficiently?

How to add electronic signatures to crystal report?

All-
I need to add a .bmp (electronic signature) to the bottom of my Crystal PO form. I want to use .bmp files located in a specific folder. I see a Format graphic option and an area to enter a location, but can't seem to get it to work. How do I insert a picture that is not just inserted into the form, but rather use a specific .bmp file in a specific location. I need to put in an electronic signature of different people based on certain criteria. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.. Pat

1. First, you need to have a default picture. I normally have an empty .jpg , let's call it Empty.jpg
2. Assuming you insert different signature .bmp based on in VendorCountry
3. Following this steps:
- Insert Empty.jpg into the PO fom
- right click on the picture in crystal report, and click Format grapic
- In the picture tab, you can find the field Graphic Location
click on the blue pen on the right, then put in the condition as you want.
If VendorCounty = 'US' then
C:\abc.jpg
else if VendorCounty = 'AU' then
C:\zzz.jpg
else
c:\empty.jpg

Forms with Electronic Signatures

Hi,
I have recently started working with Acrobat Pro X so please forgive the elementary question.
I am trying to create a series of forms that allow the end user to enter information, electronically sign the document, save and email, and print for their records. I have to keep in mind that the end user will not have access to Pro X, so these forms have to be compatible with more basic versions of Adobe Reader.
Is this even a possibility? If so, how do I accomplish this?
Thanks!

Yes, it's possible. In order for Reader to save a filled-in form, it has to be Reader-enabled. In order for Reader sign a document, it has to be Reader-enabled with either Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (a server-based product). To do so in Acrobat, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
It's important to note that the Acrobat License Agreement includes certain restrictions for enabled documents. In short, if you distribute an enabled form to more than 500 recipients, then you can use data from no more than 500 instances of the form that have been returned to you, including hardcopies. Since you need to have a signed document, you cannot avoid this limitation by setting up the form to submit just the form data.
It would be best to add a digital signature field somewhere on the form to make it easier to sign.
You can create a button on the form that initiates an email with the document attached. This gets done automatically if you choose to use the distribution process in Acrobat.

Electronic signature necessary?

I have created a Form Filled PDF in PRO (9). We do not want the user to be able to apply an electronic signature. We want them to fill out the form using the fills, print and manually sign the form. Is there a work-a-round for this?

Reader-enabling doesn't prevent form filling and when applying security you can specify that form filling is allowed, so it doesn't prevent it either.
You need to clarify exactly what you mean by "shut off the signature field". Do you have an actual digital signature field on the form, or are you talking about the EchoSign e-signature feature?
