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

You can purchase Adobe Acrobat

When clicking the Signature box in an interactive PDF form IE crashes.

When we click on the Signature box in an interactive PDF form loaded inside Internet Explorer, it will crash the browser with a message "Internet Explorer has stopped working."
We have tried:
-this on PDF forms created with Adobe Acrobat Professional X and XI
-loaded the forms on Windows 7 IE 8 and IE 9
-Adobe Reader X and XI
-loaded IE in no add-ons mode
and the issue still persists. We believe there is an issue with how Internet Explorer and Adobe are communicating but don't understand why clicking inside the Signature box, IE crashes? Any thoughts? Is this related to some kind of Windows update that is impacting the ability to sign PDFs when loaded inside IE browser?

I will not be able to upload any forms as it is propietary information, but here are the steps taken to create the form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X or XI:
Open the PDF in Adobe Pro and click Tools.
In the Forms menu, click Edit.
Click Add New Field > Text Field.
Place the field on the document and edit the field name with the text [MAGICWORD]. This is a magic word that allows the signed form to be saved in the right location.
Click the All Properties link.
Change the Form Field from Visible to Hidden but Printable under Common Properties.
To add other visible magic word fields (optional), click Add New Field > Text Field.
Click Add New Field > Digital Signature.
Click Add New Field > Button.
Click the All Properties link.
Click the Actions tab.
Under Add an Action:
Select Trigger – Select Mouse Down.
Select Action – Select Submit a form.
Click Add.
Enter the URL:(https://anythingcangohere.com)
This enables the signed form to be submitted and saved in the right location.
Under Export Format, select PDF The complete document.
Click OK.
To add a label to the button, click the Options tab.
Label: – Enter Submit to athenaNet or Submit.
Click Close.

Programmatically filling in fields of an interactive PDF form from a database

I have a web app written in Grails, but it doesn't matter. I ask is there possible way to send the data from database into the the third party interactive PDF form? If yes, what tools from Adobe I would need to make this kind of web app plugin? Is it possible to view Javascript code of once made PDF?

You can simply create an FDF or XFDF file and return that to the browser.

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 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).

How do I add an electronic signature to a document?

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. How do I add an electronic signature to a document?

Sergio
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?

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.

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

Turn off "Verifying all signatures" when digitally signing a pdf form?

Hey All!
I have a pdf form (created with Acrobat X) with muliple digital signatures fields. Any time you sign a field, Adobe verifies all other signed signatures fields within the document.
So the more signature fields allready been signed, the longer it takes to place a new digital signature due to the adobe verifying setting mentioned above.
I have allready turned off "Verify signatures when the document is opened" in the security preferences, but I couldn't find a place to turn it off when signing a document.
I am just thinking, whoever designed the Acrobat/Adobe program must have left an option to disable those security features...so I even looked in Adobe policy within windows
registry, but I couldn't find anything either.
It's very frustrating - at the end of the form it takes up to 20 minutes to place a signature.
Any ideas and thoughts are more the welcome!!
Thanks

Sir, thank you for the quick response!
No, It's a 22-pages form with 25 different signatures using PKI.

Dynamically Visibilty of Input Field in Interactive PDF Form

Hi All,
I want to bind the visibilty of Input Field dynamically in an Interactive PDF Form. How can I do ?
Please give me some solution
Regards
Manish

Manish,
Well select the inputfield & check the Scripting Window in your Designer.
On its top, you will see an option something as Show: Events with Scripts.
Select the initialize event and insert the code she mentioned. Then click on + sign. This will enter your changes.
There will be language option on top as well. Select JavaScript from it.
So in the end your code should read something like this.
----- data.<YourFormName>.txtInput::initialize: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------
txtInput.presence = "invisible";

Digital Signature Interactive PDF form

Hi
I am Trying to make an Interactive PDF form with a functionality to Display and hide Specific Fields Using a Button
Is It possible to Digitally Sign such a PDF
If it is
Will the signature be removed once i Activate the Interactive Functionality from the form of Display\Hide a field ?

To further elaborate:
There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm
Questions though:
(1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!
(2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.
Thanks again,
Jonathan

How to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf?

how to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf? I like when the document opens up in acrobat and the the page animations work but when I go to one of the pages and hit my designated home button it goes back to page one but it reloads again. As a user it would drive me crazy to have to wait for all of it to load......anyway to have that page one load once as the opening page?

I don't think you really mean animations (unless you have a placed SWF file) because things created with the Animation panel don't work in PDF. Nonetheless, you're talking about some kind of interactivity which is set to happen On Page Load.
So when you return to that page, of course the interactivity loads again.
There isn't a On Page Load Once command.
Perhaps you need to rethink why the interactivity is there. If it's important, maybe it should be triggered by a rollover or by clicking a button.

Interactive PDF form on Android, can I make a form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I have an interactive PDF form on Android, is there any way to make a form field that will open the camera and insert the photo in the field?

One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.
