Geen bar detecting signature field

This happened to me too the documents that I open do not have any signature fields. It effects Reader and Adobe XI pro as they both updated recently to 11.0.3. I spoke with support I uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled but as soon as it updated to 11.0.3 the problem came back.

Acrobat detects non-existant signature fields

I am running Acrobat Pro 11.0.03 from the Cloud subscription producing publications in ID 8.0.1 . After the most recent update to Acrobat I am finding that Acrobat is suddenlty detecting Signature fields in all new PDFs and demanding that my subscribers 'Open Sign Panel' and sign a certificate!!!! There are no forms, fields or certificates in any of the PDFs I am producing. I am at a standstill. My business is totally dependent on publishing documents for subscribers on a daily basis. I cannot find any information on this problem. I am in serious trouble.

Yes. I implemented the registry key fix. It eliminates the problem on my system but does nothing for my subscribers who have recently upgraded Reader (unless they do the same). The problem is fully exposed in the Acrobat Reader thread on this forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5329906#5329906). There are voluminous complaints there. There is apparently nothing a publisher of PDF content can do except assure subscribers that nothing is wrong with the PDF, they do not need to respond to the Signature prompt, and oh yes, Adobe will surely fix this promptly.
Lukily, those who have not upgraded Reader since mid-May do not have to experience this. I am recommending that they do not upgrade until it is fixed.

When filling a Digital Signature field from a mobile app, signature does not show Reader or Acrobat

Scenario :
1. Receiving a pdf form with digital siganture field.
2. Signing form using various pdf apps. " PDF EXPERT for iPad/iPhone"
3. After signing and emailing the document, opening in reader or Acrobat, the signature does not display but the field is gone, as if it was signed.
* Is reader /acrobat requiring a validation that it is not receiving to show the signature?
Did verify that the signature shows in Chrome, using chromes default pdf viewer.

New Feature came in the last update.
Here is the reference material to disable it:

Signature field detected - I never added a signature field

Hi, when I open my PDF in Reader, I suddenly get a green bar along the top saying "Signature field detected." I never added a signature field to the PDF. How do I remove this green bar? Thanks, Siegfried

Windows 7, 64. MSIE 10. All updates installed. And BTW, I am now in "compatability mode" - still nogo.
Perhaps related: I've noticed since... maybe a few months ago: The paste "cache" (or whatever it's called) works differently now. Now if I "copy", then open a program, then hit "paste", nothing happens. That is: I have to open the target ap before copying from the original ap.
And so, if I want to copy from Word to Excel... If I copy, then open Excel... "paste" does nothing. I have to go back to Word, copy again, and then paste.
Caveat: I have not done any troubleshooting with this. And so, I can't say 100% that that is what's happening there. Maybe just 95%.
I've assumed this apparent change is some sort of new security thing from MS to prevent cross-ap pasting instigated by malware. But other than that, paste works in every other ap I have - whether I copy from Text Editor to paste into another ap, or copy & paste within an ap, etc. Except right here.

Acrobat Pro XI "Signature field(s) Detected"

How can the "Signature field(s) Detected" reminder be eliminated? This is incredibly annoying -- showing up on bank statements, some credit card reports, journal articles, etc

I saw the post previously. This is what I found at the end of FeatureLockDown file: ] >> ] >>
Over the 2nd "]", I inserted "/Services [ /c << /EnableEchoSignDetection [/b false ] >> ]" in both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for Mac OS 10.8.4.
The problem still exists

Acro Reader hallucinates signature fields

I have a PDF just prepared with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended that should have no signature fields in it, and indeed going to Add or Edit Signature fields tells me I have none. Nor does Acro Reader 11.0.0 on my main 64-bit Win 7 computer see any. However, Acro Reader 11.0.3 on my other 64-bit Win 7 PC opens the PDF with a big green bar at the top claiming "Signature Fields detected". Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong and how to correct it.
Thanks for your help.

Adobe think it's a real neat idea to see a file might need signing and tell the user. The clever idea they had was to see if the word "sign" appears in the file. I hope you'll think this is as neat as the programmers at Adobe, but I have my doubts.

How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!

Digital Signature in Document Signature field slow

The business requirement is for users to digital sign a Dynamic PDF. Digital ID's are created using Advanced - Security Settings - Digital ID - Add ID - Create a self-signed digital ID for use with Acrobat - New PKCS#12 digital ID , from Adobe Professional.
In the PDF, the user clicks in a Document Signature field to sign the document. It takes a VERY long time for this signature process to complete.
is there a trick I am missing? Is the slowness due to the way the digital ID was created?

Unfortunately, I cannot forward the form as it contains client data.
I have tested signing another PDF I've created with 2 fields using the same the digital ID's, and the process completed quickly.
Perhaps the problem lies with the size of my form which has 20 pages with 50 fields (on average) per page.
When signing the document, the signature details appear, the "saving file" temporary status bar appears and THEN the hourglass kicks in and takes 5 minutes before control is returned. Is there validation particular to the signing process I can disable? Alternatively, can I specify which pages are certified instead of the entire document?

Can I modify a pdf file containing a signature field prior to download?

I have a pdf file I use as a template and in my .net application I fill in a few fields using pdfstamper, iTextsharp, etc. I'm new to this.
That all works.
I also have a signature field in my document.
After I modify the fields, with the person's name, etc., I download it to the client machine, open it in Adobe Reader X, and ask the user to sign the document.
I get an error saying "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The doc hsa been changed since it was created and the extended features are no longer available......"
Is there a way for me to do what I'm trying to do? I hope this is somewhat clear. It appears that modifying the fields with itextsharp is what's causing the error to occur.

Thank you for the replies.
More specifically, here's what I'm doing. There's a desk where people come to pick up a gift card. When someone picks one up, a clerk runs this .net program, selects the persons name form a dropdown list, I modify a pdf file (using iTextSharp), by adding the person's name, the serial number of the giftcard, etc, download this file to the client desktop, where the person signs using an ePad. Then the clerk saves that pdf file.
The clerk will not be able to go into the menus and remove and/or save Reader Usage Rights. Is there a way through code that I can add Reader Usage Rights after I modify the file. It sounds from your replies that that's what I need to do.
Also, I don't really care about the official "signature", security, certificates, etc. I just want someone to be able to scribble onto the document using a signature pad.
I do have Acrobat Pro X and LiveCycle. (I assume that means I have LCR Extensions.)

Populating the Signature field of OIM UPA table

The OIM UPA table has a SIGNATURE field which customers can use for storing digital signature of the snapshot (for non-repudiation purposes).
By default - the value of this field is "NULL" in the database.
Did not find any documentation on how this field is populated.
Has any one made use of this non-repudiation feature.
Thanks,
Chetan

If you want this functionality it is actually not that hard to create a scheduled task that populates the signature field using a third party non repudiation provider.
Doing local non repudiation is per definition non useful so you do need a trusted third party (i.e. Guardtime (http://www.guardtime.com/)) that provides the service.
Best regards

How to get all signature fields in a .pdf from C#

Does anyone have some sample code that shows how to "iterate" all signatures in a .pdf from C#? Using the SDK and the Javascipt object model I know how to sign a document but I can't figure out how to "get all the signatures". Basically I want to open a .pdf file and then (from C#) find out what persons currently have signed the document. I guess I need to iterate all signature fields and then get the SignatureInfo object, or?
Anyone?
Cheers,
Calle

I am afraid this don't help me. How do I get the "data" back to C#? Looping all fields in in JavaScript is probably "easy" but I simply can't figure out how to get access to the data from C#. Any one have a suggestion on the best approach?
Thx,
CJ

Adding a signature field takes a lot of time

Case: I have a Microsoft excel sheet that I save as PDF directly from excel. I use Adobe Acrobat X PRO to create 3 signature fields on this PDF to allow document signing in Adobe Reader.
Problem: Adding a signature field in form editing mode are extremly slow. After placing the signature field, Adobe Acrobat stops responding for about 1-3 minutes. I need to do this for a lot of documents, so it's time-consuming to say the least..
Is it possible to speed up this process?

How Can I stop signature fields disappearing on my IPAD Adobe Reader 11

Hi, I am using trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro. I have converted a Word document to PDF. I have added text fields, Java scripts to automatically add Todays date as default, Form Reset buttons and Signature fields. File is saved as standard save. All of the above is done in Windows 7 environment. On same computer, In Adobe Reader signature fields are visible although I do not have the means to test it. When the same File is emailed and opened on an IPAD using Adobe Reader 11.2, the signature fields are missing. I intend to have my users access the file (and 30 others like this) on an IPAD. Can someone advise how to resolve the missing signature field issue. It appears that Adobe do not help with such issues as it is not considered an installation issue.

Digital signatures are not supported on mobile versions of Adobe Reader. Other PDF viewers like Readdle's PDF Expert treat them like e-signature fields, allowing the user to draw/apply their drawn signature, but this is not the same as a digital signature. Adobe Reader for iOS allows you to add an e-signature, but it doesn't use digital signature fields for this feature. Instead, you tap the screen, choose the annotations icon, and then the signature icon.

How do I delete a digital signature field?

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on Snow Leopard. I created a digital signature for a PDF file but it didn't look good, so I decided to delete it. I figured out how to delete the signature, but the signature field with the little red arrow did not delete with my signature. I want my PDF form to revert to the way it was before I created the signature. I cannot simply close the PDF without saving because I'd lose all the information I've already entered. Stupid me forgot to save before attempting the digital signature.
HOW CAN I DELETE the digital signature field? Help!

Hi SM,
The place to look for permission settings is on the Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. You can get there by selecting the File > Properties menu item and then select the Security tab.
One thing to note is if the file is Reader Enabled you will need to use the File > Save a Copy menu item to create a non-Reader enabled version of the file. You cannot edit a Reader Enabled file. As an aside, the Save a Copy menu item won't be there if the file is not Reader Enabled.
If the file was created using Designer (which is only on Windows and I know you are using a Mac) then it has to be edited in Designer.
If the file was certified, then you need to remove (clear) the certifying signature before you can edit the file, and to do that you must have access to the private key that was used as part of that signature operation.
Finally, if the file is encrypted (e.g. Password Security or Certificate Security), you can edit the file, but you have to get Acrobat to realize you are the document owner which means you need the Permissions password or or logged in using a document owners digital ID (the former is only for Password Security and the latter is only for Certificate Security).

Is there any way to add a digital signature field at the end of forms?

I am trying to have my patients fill out the mandatory forms online and have them sign it aswell.
any help would be great.

You can easily create a form in FormsCentral that your patients can fill online but FormsCentral doesn't support signature field.
If you must have a signatures then you can have a look at http://echosign.acrobat.com.
You can still use FormsCentral to create a PDF form that you can then use with EchoSign but you won't be able to gather data in FormsCentral.
