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?

How do I add an electronic signature to a pages document

how do I add an electronic signature to a pages document?

Glad you stepped in and elucidated my inadequate explanation.
Step by Step explanations of the problem will get Step by Step instructions, but its been a week and the O.P. hasn't elaborated on what they actually want.
You may consider it a horrible answer, what was your opinion of the question?

PS I looked hard but couldn't find a reference to Preview in my post.

Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open". When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature. Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing. We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing. We stored the files in another server and nothing. One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder. Another is saving the file with a different file name.
I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane. See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”. No luck with this one too.
Is definitively an intermittent problem. The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Correction on Question:
This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
Users began getting the error message:
'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject.
We really need help getting this resolved.

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

Electronic signature and intranet security

Hi,
I find the 9.0 version of Adobe Acrobat professonal really annoying. I am creating a lot of PDF-documents which are to be presented on my company's Intranet pages. What is really disturbing is that I have to electronically sign all the PDFs - otherwise when opening a PDF document via a link from another PDF document on our intranet the user gets this pop-up question "are you sure this information comes from a trusted source ...etc" due to the security level set for the www. In earlier versions this phenomen did not exist. It is disturbing for the users to get all these pop-up messages when navigating through our intranet which we as a whole consider safe. It causes me a LOT of extra work having to sign and save all documents an extra time every time I make a document change. There must be a way to turn off this ******** or I'm throwing away my Acrobat 9.0 license (anyone who wants to exchange it with an older version.
One more thing - is there an easy way to - one and for all - set that I want all the PDFs I create to be saved without showing all the stuff like the menu row and the tools list when the users opens the PDF. Every time I make a change to a PDF I have to set these conditions over and over again.... not really very user friendly!!!!

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:

Multiple Electronic Signatures using Signature PAD

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement where we need to capture the electronic signature on thee PDF form at different time. This means I fill the PDF form get the 1st electronic signature using signature PAD and then saved the form. I open the same form and then take the 2nd signature. When we are taking the 2nd signature on the saved form it's making the form and signature invalid.
Please let me know if there's a restriction by Adobe PDF such that you can't accept the signature once it's signed and saved.
Thanks, Ritesh

Yes, that's an e-signature. An option if you need to set up multiple e-signatures is to use stamps. They can be flattened individually, which converts them to regular page contents. The Acrobat help has more information on using stamps and you can use the following free JavaScript-based utility to flatten them after they're applied if you want: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Electronic Signatures for my company

Hello,
I am currently researching how to convert my companies practice from printing forms to using electronic forms. I'm wondering what's the best way to create and distribute electronic signature to every user on our network. I do not want people to have to go through the procress of creating self-signed digital IDs (if they don't have to) because not everyone in the company is computer savy to a actually go through. I'm also looking for users to be able to use their signatures on different computers.
My question is this, what's the best method for a small-sized company to obtain and distribute electronic signatures? Should I look for a third-party product? If so, what are they your recommendations.
-Robert

Either.
I must confess to admit, I’m not sure which one would be better for my needs. As a beginner, I guess I’ll need something that’s easy to manage (for both myself and the company) while able to prevent users from signing as someone else.

Adobe X Std - Electronic Signatures and Flattening Document

We are experimenting with Electronic signatures using Adobe X std. Once a signature is added to a document, we want to flatten the document so that the signature and all other annotations can not be changed. I have found the javascript code needed to flatten documents and it works fine for all annotations, but not for the signatures. After adding a signature and choosing to flatten the document, I get the error:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.flattenPages:266:App FlattenPages:Exec
I don't know what security settings or other changes are needed to prevent the error. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Validating signatures is the normal and most important thing about them. That is how they work. This is fundamental stuff which you must explain to the users of the document as surely as they need to know how to use a pen for paper signatures.
Consider: if you come upon a PDF that is signed by your boss, how do you know it is signed by your boss? Because the signature has his name on it? Hardly the proof needed to fire a man or release a million dollars.
But if your boss sent his public key to you before, you can check the signature in the file against the public key, and this is absolute proof. Validating has to be done every single time, otherwise it is like sending a paper document with "trust me, this one's fine" written on a sticky note.
However, a group of people can share signatures and arrange that validation is automatic when files are opened. Don't know the details.

Electronic signature while approving documents

Dear experts,
I have a client who is validating its SAP B1 implemented system in compliance with FDA 21 CFR part 11 (electronic records and electronic signatures).
Can any one please describe how SAP business one treats electronic signature while approving documents? because in FDA 21 CFR part 11, it requires electronic signature on approval of certain documents which must contain 'the name of the signer, 'time and date stamp' and the 'meaning (such as approve, review, verify) associated with the signature' plus the traceable record of electronic signatures.
Furthermore, it also require a 'password' or user id of the signer' at the time of signing the document. In B1, it does not ask for user id / password at the time of approval and simply rely on login id / password. If user is already logged in, B1 simply allow the approver to approve a document and does not prompt for user id / password again.
Can we fulfill the signing requirement in SAP Business one? and modify or customize B1 in such a way that it starts prompting for user id / password at the time of approving the document too?
Any help is highly appreciated>
Thanks in advance,
Farhan

Closing it

Having problems combining PDF files with electronic signatures...

I have Adobe Pro XI and I've been trying to combine numerous PDF files. They are each 2 pages and contain electronic signatures. When I attempt to combine them it appears to be working and then suddenly Adobe just closes with no error message or anything??

Think about it: You sign a document and then someone adds some pages to it
and pretends you signed those as well. You wouldn't what that to happen,
would you? Well, with digital signatures it can be prevented.

Electronic Signatures / SAP Authorizations

Default functionality of the electronic signature is that it validates the SAP MII User. We, on the other hand, need to validate the SAP User. One thing comes to mind is to have ABAP Security in place, and all users must have an SAP account. What happens if we decide to use the UME and when we decide to do the electronic signature it checks the SAP user account?

Hi Isabelle,
Thanks for your patience in understanding my question.
My primary worry is if i use this exit to have electronic signatures in 4.0b and i know this functionality (Electronic signatures) is standard in latest versions, what will happen to the electronic signature data that i create until i upgrade.
The electronic signature data is the user id , date and time associated with a notification. I plan to store this in a custom table.
I will appreciate , if you can share with me your analysis.
Thanks

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.
