ES2 - digital signatures

Hello,
I am working on a process that is a HR form that will have multiple signatures which will be signed at various steps within the process.
Does anyone know of any info like the one posted here for ES?

Digital Signature invalid when sign a PDF with instances

Hi,
I created a XDP document with LiveCycle Designer ES2.
This document contains:
- Some required fields (text fields, data fields ecc...)
- A Subform that user can add more instance pressing a button, contains some fields
- A Digital Signature (With a simple fields collection contains only the signature field)
I render the XDP for get a PDF (using ReaderExtensions component) by LiveCycle Workbench ES3.
Then I open the PDF with Adobe Reader X.
I compile the form and don't press on button increase the instances of Subform.
Sign the document and the signature is valid.
Now, instead, if I make the same but increase the instance of Subform, then sign, the signature is invalid...
Can the problem is the different versions of Designer and Workbench?
In past I got some problems, and sometime I resolved creating a new document and copying all the object of old form in new one... It's an ugly solution but it worked.
But in this case don't resolve nothing.
Any help?
Thank You!

Digital Signatures for Mobile Devices

We currently use smart cards that have our digital signatures and would like to have this transferred or be able to use on a mobile device. Our forms currently require digital signatures, however, the person can't view the form (created in Livecycle designer ES2) from the mobile phone, therefore we need to upgrade to ES4. Will we be able to use our current signatures using mobile, without having to use a signature created from Adobe?

LiveCycle ES4 has Mobile Forms module which actually capable of rendering your existing XFA based forms as HTML5 based form which could be opened on Mobile devices as well.
Mobile Form has Scribble signature for Mobile devices, the digital signature is not supported on Mobile devices.Check this : http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/topics/mobile-forms-dev.html

Adding digital signature field with LC Designer vs. LC Digital Signatures

Hi All,
When digital signature field named "SignatureField1" is added to PDF document using LC Designer it appears as "form1[0].#subform[0].SignatureField1[0]" in Adobe Reader signatures tree.
Same field added by LC Digital Signatures service appears as "SignatureField1" in the same tree.
Why? What is the difference between those objects?
LC Digital signatures ES2
Adobe Reader 9.3.0
Thanks, Yan

Yan
First off, there is no difference between the two signature field objects.
I'll do my best to explain why there is a difference in how the signature objects are named in the Signature pane of Reader\Acrobat. When you add the signature field using LC Designer, the object is defined in the underlying XML (XFA) that defines the form. The (SOM expression) you see in Reader (via the signature pane) matches the structure of the form.
When you add a signature field to a form using LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES2, you are appending a signature field "on top" of a PDF form (the underlying XML has been rendered into PDF). The signature field is not defined in the XML, therefore Reader\Acrobat do not display the same naming syntax.
Does this help?
Thanks
Steve

Technical and Philosophical Question re: Digital Signatures

My question is technical, but has a philosophical issue driving it.
Summary:
In Livecycle Designer ES2 (9), I would like to setup a form for digital signature that, once enabled for Reader, you can apply a digital signature without having to immediately save. I know it can be done. Example: http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/opm71.pdf
Technical:
How is this done? Is it a setting of the signature field object?
Philosophical Underpinings:
1. I don't need the digital signature to be legally defensible, so I don't care if if the document changes after applying the signature, nor will any of the fields be locked down after signing. However, the digital signature everyone at my company uses is the legally defensible type, so using it instead of digital ink is for simplcity's sake.
2. When most people sign a paper document, they usually sign, and THEN date. The problem with Adobe et al.'s implementation of digital signatures is that you have to date, and THEN sign, or else the date field will usually be locked down after you are forced to save the document after signing. I know that a date field is not required when using digital signatures, but you need to date field in case someone decides to print the form and sign the old fashioned way.
3. Because of this conundrum, I made the date field auto-populate with the signing date by applying javascript to the signature field that populates the date field upon signing. The problem with that is that with Adobe forcing me to save the document immediately after signing, the date field does not populate because the signature applies to the version of the document that existed just prior to the signature being applied. Since the date field wants to populate after signing, it is discarded.
Hence, I want to prevent Reader from forcing me to immediately save. I am approaching this philosophical conundrum all wrong?
Signed,
Befuddled

"you can apply a digital signature without having to immediately save. I know it can be done."
Whenever a signature is applied, the form gets saved. So, you can't apply a signature without having saved the form. Do some modifications in the form you have provided, save it and validate the signature. Validation would suggest that changes have been done in the form, so signature is invalidated at this stage. This effectively means that data has been changed in the form after signing making it unreliable so to say.
Since you are moving to digital signing in the form, I do not understand exactly why there's a need to manually enter the date after signing the form digitally. Once you sign the form, date automatically comes in the signature. This solves the purpose/use case that user needs to fill in the date. Ideally, you need to remove the date field from the form.
"I know that a date field is not required when using digital signatures, but you need to date field in case someone decides to print the form and sign the old fashioned way."
If you can't remove the date field from the form and want to have a simialr experience in digital world, the option is to write a simple script in the form which checks whether the date is filled in or not. If it's not filled in, abort the signing process and provide a message asking user to fill in the date.

Digital signature details "translation"

Hi,
my request is quite simple, i need to translate the language for the default strings used by Livecycle DS ES2 in digital signatures.
For Example:
Digitally signed by: John doe
Date: xx/xx/xxxx
I'd like to translate the strings "Digitally signed by" and "Date" in another language (specifically in italian) or just substitute those strings with custom ones.
Thank you for any answer

For someone elses benefit, it turns out my code signing certificate was a SHA2 cert which is the future. I was installing in a Windows 7, and it didn't support the SHA2, so I got a SHA1 certificateion, did all the same steps and works now.

Reference material/link is required on Digital signature

Hi
Can anyone provide me any link/ reference material related to digital signature.
I want to explore it for following tasks
1. How digital signature works.
2. How a pdf can be signed using workbench
3. How to sign entire pdf
4. How to sign/block only few fields in the pdf
Regards
Sunil Gupta

Sunil
Here is some information...
How digital signature works
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/
Also, see attached socs.
How a pdf can be signed using workbench
Workbench is the development tool for creating LiveCycle ES2 processes. To sign a PDF on the server side (in an automated fashion) you need to have LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES2
For more info...
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/digitalsignatures/
How to sign entire pdf
When a digital signature is applied to a PDF, the entire PDF is "signed". You cannot sign specific pages or sections.
How to sign/block only few fields in the pdf
You can specify "field collections" when creating a PDF with Adobe Designer. You then associate the field collection with a particular signature field. When the signature field is signed, the associated field can\will be locked.
Hope this helps

Update on 10.6.8 fails due to digital signature on update is missing

wanting to install the Parallels version 10 and it won't work on 10.6.8 version of my Mac OS so I learned how to go to the software update which indicates an update is available. When I go ahead and load the update it runs fine and then stops with a message that the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update can't be saved. It says the digital signature on the update is missing or invalid.
I don't know if the digital signature is on my computer or the update? I would upgrade to a more recent version of the OS but don't know what will work.
Can anyone help?
Dan

Parallels 10 isn't compatible with 10.6 according to the web site.
Mac Requirements
Hardware:
A Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (Core Solo and Core Duo processors are no longer supported)
Minimum 2 GB of memory (4 GB of memory is recommended to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine or if your host OS is Lion)
About 850 MB of disk space on the boot volume (Macintosh HD) for Parallels Desktop installation
About 15 GB of disk space for each virtual machine
Software:
OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later
OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 or later
Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 or later
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

Making Multiple Digital Signatures Read-only in Form (Acrobat 9)

I have created a form which includes two (2) digital signature fields. What needs to occur with the form is Person1 fills the form and then digitally signs it thereby making the form fields read-only . Person2 then digitally signs the form which should make Person1's digital signature read-only.
Here's what I've done:
1) For the Person1 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields except these> and selected the Person2 digital signature field.
2) For the Person2 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields> since once Person2 signs the form I do not want Person1 to be able to clear the digital signature and make changes to the form.
Here's what actually occurs:
Step 1 above works fine. Once the signature is applied all the form fields are read-only except for the Person2 digital signature field.
The problem is that after Person2 digitally signs the form, even though I selected all fields as read-only, Person1 can 'clear' their signature which leaves all the form fields available for editing and leaves Person2's digital signature still on the form.
I honestly don't care about 'validating' signatures on this form since it's going to be printed but I cannot allow Person2's signature to remain on the form and allow Person1 to edit the form.

My computer will not let me download because it says there is no digital signature I need this for a college course how can i download it?

I am taking a web design class and my instructor wishes us all to use the same browser. She has provided a link in her syllabus and it does go to the download site for Firefox. However, as I am running the download my computer pops up with "there is no digital signature" and "this file is corrupt" and will not download it. What to do?

Make sure that you do not run the file directly, but save the file to the Desktop and start the installation via a double-click.<br />
You may need to unlock the file via the right-click context menu: Properties > Security

Using iText to generate a digital signature that can be signed in Adobe Reader

I am able to create a digital signature in a pdf using iText. Adobe Reader does not allow that digital signature to be signed. Everything I have been reading suggests that I need to enabe Reader Usage Rights, but that requires using Adobe Pro. I was hoping that I would only need Adobe Reader inorder to digitally sign the pdf, is that possible?

Not without the required rights...
