How do I enable digital signatures in Reader?

I have created a form using Adobe Standard 9.2.  It has a digital signature field and no security settings.  The properties indicates that signing is allowed.  However, if I open the form with Reader 9.2, the properties indicate that signing is not allowed.  Using the Advanced menu, I then Extend Forms Fill-In and Save in Adobe Reader.  The pop-up window indicates that digital signing will be allowed but when I open the form in Reader, didgital signing is still not allowed.  Training from Linda.com appears to indicate that this should work.  Any suggestions?

Hi,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the core of the issue is that Acrobat Standard edition only allows the user to add the form fill-in and save Reader extension. In order to add the digital signature Reader extension you would either need Acrobat Pro (or Pro Extended), or the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Enablement server. The bottom line is you cannot do what you are looking to do with the Standard edition.

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "modern" UI) does not support any types of signatures yet.
    Digital Signatures with certificates
    Electronic Signatures (that are legally enforceable)
    Signature annotations (hand-writing annotations which may not be secure and legally enforceable)
    Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) supports #1 and #3.

  • How to enable digital signature for browser enabled infopath form?

    Dear all,
    I have designed infopath form and published it into the document library. I want to provide signature option on the browser enabled infopath form.
    I have created it using secion and digital signature control.
    but I am getting this message.
    When i click on Yes . I get following screen.
    And it just hang here. I have enabled the active x control feature for IE.
    Please tell me where i should install this component and how it can be done? 
    I have access only to the sharepoint site.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to enable digital signature for browser enabled infopath form.
    To be able to sign this form, you need to activate two Windows Internet Explorer add-ons. Click the Information Bar in the dialog box, and then click Run ActiveX control to activate each add-on.
    Then you need to active the following add-on.
    In my environment, after I click the Next button, it open the picture as below.
    Once I click the link to add the add-on as above, everthing works well.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • How to validate XML Digital Signature with XML DB (o PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g

    Hi,
    Do you know if there is possibility to validate XML Digital Signature using XML DB (or PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g?
    Let say I have CLOB/XMLType containing Digitally Signed XML, and I want to validate, that thsi is proper signature. I also have public key of signer (I could store it in CLOB or file or Oracle wallet).
    Is it possible to do?
    If there is need to install additional component - then which one?
    Regards,
    Paweł

    Hi,
    this is what i got from someone...
    but the links he gave are not opening up...
    u have to place a picture there and have to load the digital signatures as Jpegs on to the server to OA top
    and have to refer them in the XML for dynamically get the signature on the reports
    when u select the properties of the picture placed in the XML template,
    there will be one tab with "URL"... in that u have to give the path for that jpegs
    Pls refer the following documents for enabling digital signature on pdf documents.

    Pls procure a digital signature as soon as possible. The process can take time. OR we could use any certificate that you already might have OR generate a certificate using Oracle Certificate Authority for demo.

    It is now permitted to use Digital Signature on Form 16. Current Form 16 print program does not support this functionality
    Prerequisites
    SAP Note 1156084 - Sum of serial no. 18(a) & 18(b) incorrect on Form 16 PDF
    Currently this solution supports single digital signature at a time. In case you have more than one digital signature uploaded in
    the system, currently Form 16 will be signed with "Default" digital signature only.
    Create connection between ADS (Adobe Document Services) and R/3 system:
    This can be done through transaction 'SM59' --> connection type 'G' (HTTP Connection to External Server).
    It is recommended that you create this connection with 'RFC Destination' name as 'ADS_HTTPS'.

  • How to enable digital signature on my InforPath 2013 form?

    Hi, I watched a training video in Lynda.com that in a section property of a form there should be a Digital Signature tab.  I created a Infopath 203 form and published to our sp2013.  Now I want to add the digital signature fields to this form in
    3 sections but I don't see the tab.  Appreciate it if someone can tell me how to enable that
    Thank you.

    HI, I read the article and I did try inserting a section in my form above, in the middle and below, selecting the section property dialog still shows now tabs for digital signature as explained in the link you provided and also in the Lynda.com training
    video.  
    If I start a new blank form then that works.  I guess I could recreate the form from scratch but would like to skip all that extra work if there is a way to fix this.
    thank you.

  • Digital Signatures in Reader

    I'm trying to update the security settings to a PDF I've converted from a Word document so that my users with Reader version 9 can not only fill in the data fields, digitally sign the document and save it. On the menu, I select, Advanced, Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader... This allows my users to fill in the form field and save the document but it does not allow them to digitally sign the document. When I go File, Properties, Security, my document shows the following below. Where in Acrobat 9 can I change restriction Signing to Allowed while still allowing my users the ability of Filling of form fields and Saving the document?
    Regards,
    Ian

    First, some clarification - Using either "Enable" (Acrobat 8) or "Extend" (Acrobat 9) Adobe Reader 8.x or better can "place" a digital signature - so, a signature field does not have to be provided.
    Looking at the screen shot you provided one document restriction shown is:
    "Signing: Not Allowed *" - with this present, a user of Adobe Reader will not be able to "Sign".
    Playing with Acrobat 8 & 9 to "enable"/"extend" I cannot duplicate a Document Restrictions Summary similar to the screen shot.
    From "Extend" I get Changing the Document, Document Assembly, and  Creation of Template Pages shown as Not Allowed. Signing is allowed.
    As long as the PDF you send out has Sign: Not Allowed * there'll be no signing possible by users of Adobe Reader. Some how you are getting a restrictions set similar to one obtained via setting of Password security.
    In a sort of Brownium Motion manner, some thoughts -
    --| Compare the details of each step to what is discussed in Acrobat Help - anything different?
    --| Check Help > About -- is the installed Acrobat fully updated to the latest dot release?
    --| Try a "repair" (Help > Repair)
    Be well...

  • How to do Multiple digital signatures?

    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple digital signatures. This is an approval form that is emailed "up the chain of command".  I have enabled extended features in Adobe Reader so that users without Acrobat 9 can digitally sign the form.  I created the form and did a certified signature.  I then emailed it to a typical user who filled in the form and emailed it to her boss for a digital signature.  Her boss digitally signed it and emailed it to the CFO.  The CFO does not have Acrobat 9.  When she gets it, she gets the error message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."  How do I correct this?

    Steve,
    I wanted to test how cumbersome it would be to have the 2 staff members open with Adobe Reader instead of Creative Suite; however, I have not been able to find any option like "open with" in my outlook email.  Every time I try to open it defaults to my Acrobat 9 Pro to open the document.  Would the 2 staff members have to save the email and then use "open with" in order to by pass Creative Suite?
    Also I am not sure if you answered my question last time - Is it possible to just upgrade the Acrobat portion of Creative Suite or do you have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite just to get the newer Acrobat?  I will also be checking the upgrade link you sent.  Thanks.

  • Digital Signature in Reader

    I'm trying to design some fillable forms that some of our employees are required to sign. I see how I (as the designer) can sign the form using a digital signature. But can I setup my form to allow it during the form filling process with Reader? Any thoughts or advise is greatly appreciated.
    My second thought and less secure is to put an image of their signature on the form, but I would need to pull dynamically from SQL. Not sure that is possible.
    Thanks

    "There is a 500 times use limit on the form, UNLESS you use LifeCycle Reader Extensions."
    Can you explain this please. What are Lifecyle Reader Extensions"? How do I get more than 500? I have rights enabled so that users can save forms and use signatures. I have had NO luck with sending data files (as opposed to pdf) using a submit button. The data files won't open, my only options are xml which opens delimited--style data in a browser and xpd which opens a black screen in acrobat and says "data is not compatible or has been submitted via email". Pdfs send perfectly via email and also my clients know what pdf files are and understand them....data files will scare them...unless I can get it to work properly, which I have not been able to do.
    I have been asking questions here for weeks and still have NO adequate answers or solutions.
    I am using over 100 uses just to test the process with my clients. We have over 40 forms with submit buttons! That doesn't leave many users left.
    Please, any tips on how to make this work would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • How does the LiveCycle Digital Signatures work?

    Hi,
    I´m new working with liveCycle, and I would like to know how it works at technical level.
    I have read documentation but I can not understand the procedure to generate the digital signature
    I appreciate someone explain a bit about it or send a link to a page with detailed information.
    Thank´s!

    Your question is pretty broad...
    What are you trying to achieve with your workflow?  For example, do you want to...
    Generate Digital Certificates (self-signed or otherwise)
    Have end users digitally sign PDF document or forms (with Acrobat Pro or Reader)
    Have the PDF document or forms digitally signed on the server side
    Validate the digital signature on the client
    Validate the digital signature on the server side
    I have attached a document that should help as well.
    Regards
    Steve

  • Save as PDF, allow digital signatures in Reader

    After saving the pdf from Pages, security permissions do not allow for digital signatures in Adobe Reader.  How do I change this without having to use the full version of Adobe Acrobat?
    ...Bruce...

    Hi Bruce,
    Although you are creating the pdf from Pages, it's not Pages that is actually doing the conversion. Pages (and any other application for which pdf is not the 'native' file format) is using code that is part of the OS X package to convert the document to a pdf file.
    If that code includes the capability of allowing digital signatures, Apple hasn't bothered to mention the fact in the Pages '09 User Guide. The only pdf option listed there for Export PDF is reduction of file size by resampling image files.
    As the conversion is done with OS X bundled code, shared by all applications, you might find more useful answers in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion community.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Allowing digital signatures in Reader 7.0 (WIN)

    I know I'm missing something simple, but can someone tell me how to get Designer 7.0 (WIN) to allow digital signatures in a form opened in Reader 7.0 (WIN)? I've tried everything I can find, including permissions, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks, Bob.

    You have to run the form via Reader Extension Server.
    Or the user have to use the Acrobat Standard/Prof. Edition.
