How do I create a certificate to remove signature field issues?

I would like to start using digital signatures for some internal documents. We are a small site with about 20 PC users (3 of them Apple).
We can create PDFs with signature fields but every time we sign the document, when somebody needs to sign again (for approval of the first sign), then a constant message "file has been modified since it was signed" and also "at least one signature has problems......"
The way I created the forms is by adding form fields and then "Extend features in Adobe Reader" as only the 3 Apple devices have Professional version of Acrobat.
What is the correct way to do this? I think I need to create a Trusted certificate, of course for the size of our site I don't want to have external solutions, especially because it is for internal purposes only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

How the signing certificates that you use for all signatures were procured? Were they created by a reputable Certificate Authority (CA) or are they self-signed certificates that you can create in Acrobat and other apps?
If they are self-signed certificates then you need to explicitly trust each of them on each Acrobat/Reader installation. You can use (Acrobat XI/Reader XI) to do that:
1. Right-click on the signature, select "Show Signature Properties...->Show Signer's certificate".
2. In the left pane shows the signer's certificate. Select it.
3. Select "Trust" tab on top and in this tab "Add to Trusted Certificates". Again for self-signed certificates you need to do that on each Acrobat/Reader installation.
If you got your signing certificates from a Certificate Authority #2 above shows the certificate chain. Select that top-most certificate in the chain and add trust for it as in #3. Chances are that all your certificates were issued by the same CA. In this case you need to add trust to only this one certificate on each Acrobat/Reader installation.
You can use Export/Import Security Settings feature in Acrobat to make this process easier. This feature was discussed at length in several discussions on this forum <Re: Small Business Digital Signature Set-up>. Search for "Export/Import Security Settings" for more info.

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

How do I create and place my cursive signature as opposed to the DN: stamped option?

Today I upgraded my adobe reader and somehow created a digital signature (DN:………) only option in the 'sign' panel. How do I switch back to using a cursive signature option by using my webcam or using my pad to draw a new signature? I do not want to use a digital non-cursive and non professional looking option. I want to place my actual signature on the document.
Simply put, how do I place my cursive signature in the signature box? How do I sign in cursive? When I go to the sign panel and 'place signature' I cannot create a cursive signature?

Hi F & F,
If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4 Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

How do I lock a pdf except the signature field?

I'm using Acrobat X Pro. I want to send a form for others to sign, but I don't what the signer do anything to alter the contents of the form except signing. Can I do that? If I can, how? Thanks!

You can certify your PDF (provided that it does not have any signatures yet). However, the permissions granulation in Acrobat UI does not allow you to distinguish between signature fields and other field types. So, if you allow others to sign this PDF you also allow them to fill other form fields, which is not what you want. You need LifeCycle solution that has more granular permissions handling but this is an expensive piece of software. If you distribute many PDFs like this it may make sense for you. If your volume does not justify this investment you can do the following:
If you do not have other signatures you can flatten your PDF form (Google "flatten PDF form in acrobat x" to learn how to do it), add one or several new unsigned signature fields, certify with "form fill-in and signing" permission (this PDF does not have any form fields other than signature fields anymore), so that the content cannot be changed and send it to the signers.

How do I create a text box or form field on the top of every page of a pdf in XI Pro for titles?

I generate pdf content from another program and then in Acrobat XI Pro I want to add titles to each page.
I'm thinking I can use form fileds and duplicate across all pages but how do I make each form filed unique?
Or could i add a form field to a background and then apply the background to every page in the pdf?
thanks.

This type of thing is probably best done with a script, either by adding a uniquely named field to each page or by spawing a template page that contains just the form field (like your last idea). There's not a built-in method for doing this. If you add a blank page to the beginning of the document, create the field in the location you want, and make the page a template, you can run the following script in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate("Field");
// Spawn the template on each page, automatically renaming the fields
for (var i = 1; i < numPages; i += 1) {
t.spawn({nPage: i, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
To run the code, select it all in the console and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad.
To make a page a template in Acrobat 11, make sure you're on the page you want to make a template and select: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
and enter a name. I used a name of "Field" in the example above, but you can use anything.
To create a blank page, you can use the following script:
newPage({nPage: 0, nWidth: 8.5 * 72, nHeight: 11 * 72});
for an 8.5"x11" page. Adjust the numbers to match whatever your page size is. It will be added to the beginning of the document and you can then add the field and make it a template. Once the fields have been added, you can remove the template page.

How can I create a search plugin for multiple fields

There are a number of sites that have search capabilities but they require entries into multiple fields.
One such site is for instance the IBM Employee directory.
(http://www.ibm.com/contact/employees/servlets/lookup)
On this site - in order to get usable results - I have to enter both First name and Last name of the employee I'm looking for.
I created a search plugin for the site, however I wasn't able to split the entered text into two parts and provide them as separate fields for the form.
Is there a way to do this?
Regards,
Imre

Hi,
This is excellent. Not search-plugin though but but this is as good as a search-plugin. (Even better, as I haven't seen any solution with the plugins for the problem.)
I didn't know that it was possible to use javascript as bookmark location.
Thanks,
Imre

How do I create radio buttons which hide certain fields when selected?

I have a set of two radio buttons, "Yes" and "No"
When the "Yes" radio button is selected, I would like the "Bank Name", "Branch Number", "Institution Number" and the "Account Number" field to all be blocked from entering content into them.
When the "No" button is selected, I would like for all of these fields to be available to be written in.
I can do this currently with check boxes, but the problem with those is that both boxes can be checked at the same time, which is problematic.
How can I make it so that the radio buttons control whether or not the fields can be written in!
Thanks very much!

Yes, I have done this. The buttons are mutually exclusive. The are in the group "Vendor EFT" - one is named "Yes", one is named "No".
When the "Yes" radio button is selected, I would like the "Bank Name", "Branch Number", "Institution Number" and the "Account Number" field to all be blocked from entering content into them.
When the "No" button is selected, I would like for all of these fields to be available to be written in.
Not sure what code needs to be written for this.

How do you create instruction text in a text field that will disappear upon typing in the field?

I have a form containing a text field. Can I place instruction text in a text field so that after the end user can see the grayed out instructions?
What I would like is when he clicks in the field to type text, the instruction text goes away; it is no longer seen or printed.
Right now I have a tool tip; however I believe the instruction text would be of more value to the end user.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?
Can it be done?
Thanks,
Diane

Hi Diane,
You can do this by setting a null pattern for the textfield (see the Patterns dialog in the Object > Field palette). There is an example here, have a look at the objects to the right on page 2: http://www.assuredynamics.com/?portfolio=laying-out-form-objects.
There is script that changes the font style depending on the value of the field.
There is another example here: http://www.assuredynamics.com/?portfolio=scripting-a-null-display-pattern-for-a-dropdown
Hope that helps,
Niall

Cant edit or remove signature field

I accidentally added a digital signature field to a form I was making. Now I cant select it, or delete it from the form. Is there any way to get rid of it without starting over?
I looked in the hierarchy, and structure views and its not listed there. When I preview or use the form its there plain as day right smack dab in the middle of my form.
Im using live cycle 8.0
Thanks

From the sounds of it it is in the master page section of the hierarchy, instead of the subforms. That's the only way I've come accross being able to see something and not select it when editing.
Have a check there first, because I can't think of anything else right now! :)

How to create a certificate signing request that works with Microsoft CA

Hi, I have created a certificate signing request file with keytool. When I try to create a certificate from it with CertReq (I use a Microsoft CA) I get the following error message:
Certificate not issued (Denied) Denied by Policy Module The request does not contain a certificate template extension or the CertificateTemplate request attribute. (The request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801 (-214687 5391)) Certificate Request Processor: The request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801 (-2146875391) Denied by Policy Module The request does not contain a certificate template extension or the CertificateTemplate request attribute.
How do I create a certificate signing request file so that a Microsoft CA will accept it and create a certificate from it. Thanks, Linh.

I'm writing a applecation about x509 to deal with certificate and certificate request.
I found that DER format certificate request create by sun's software with no extensions.
I think this cause your error.My be MS CA can't identify such a request!So it's difficult to solve this problem unless MS or Sun change their codes.

Create a certificate for non domain-joined PCs

We have a standard AD domain wit a CA and SharePoint/Exchange servers, hosted internally and externally with TMG 2010 as our firewall. For the external hosting, we have an external certificate from one of the main certificate providers. Internally, our domain-joined
PCs look to the CA to get their trusted certificate from.
This is the issue I am encountering:
Our external users (the ones whose PC is not joined to our domain) are fine when they access our SharePoint and Exchange services externally.
However, when they are connected via VPN, they receive a certificate error and when I look in Certificate > Certification path, I can see that it says:
"DOMAIN NAME" Issuing CA1 > "NAME OF SHAREPOINT WEBSITE".
When such a PC connects to the same website when NOT connected via VPN to the domain, they receive:
"DOMAIN NAME" Root CA > "DOMAIN NAME" Issuing CA1 > "NAME OF SHAREPOINT WEBSITE".
How can I create a certificate for these non-domain joined PCs so that I can import the certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store? Thank you!

It sounds like the question you are really asking is :
How do I designate the internal root CA as a trusted root CA
Run certutil -addstore root RootCert.crt (this must be run from an administrative command prompt)
This designates the root CA as a trusted root on the client. You also may want to install the intermediate cert to the store (you are not clear on what VPN product you are using, so it may or may not do proper chain building).
Run Certutil -addstore CA IssuingCA.crt

Want to create a certificate inline - i.e. not command line

Hi
How do you create a certificate inline (without using keytool)? Any links, examples?
Thanks

If (and only if) you can send the JDK file "tools.jar" with your app, you can create the certificate using exactly the same arguments as the keytool command. Just instantiate the Keytool class that`s present in tools.jar. You need to use reflection to instantiate an object of the class because the constructor is private.
If you can send the Bouncycastle provider with your app, you can try using Bouncycastle http://www.bouncycastle.org ). Sign the Bouncycastle mailing list as well.

How can we create a table with more than 64 fields in the default DB?

Dear sirs,
I am taking part in the process of migrating a J2ee application from JBoss to SAP Server. I have imported the ejb project.
I have an entity bean with 79 CMP fields. i have created the bean and created the table for the same also. but when i tried to build the dictionary, i am getting an error message as given below,
"Dictionary Generation: DB2:checkNumberOfColumns (primary key of table IMP_MANDANT): number of columns (79) greater than allowed maximum (64) IMP_MANDANT.dtdbtable MyAtlasDictionary/src/packages"
Is it mean that we can not create tables with fields more than 64?

How can we create a Collective search help

Hi all sap experts,
How can we create a Collective search help on field OBJECT which allows to search tables
o ARCH_OBJ
o TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
on 2 tabs.
Thanks,

Hi
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..
