How do I get multiple people to sign a PDF form using a Touchscreen PC?

I have created a PDF form, using Acrobat XI Pro, to record a client training session. The form is being completed using Adobe Reader (on a Panasonic Touchbook running Windows 7), so I have extended it to allow saving and signing. On the form I have a digital signature field for each trainee (next to a text field for their name) and a digital signature field for the trainer.
Creating a proper digital signature, signable using a password, is fine for the trainer, but the trainees will only be seen once. Often/usually they do not have email addresses so emailing for a signature, using EchoSign/DocuSign is out, but I have a touch-screen computer so should just be able to pass it round for a quick signature. Also, the form will be completed offline, with the trainer turning up on a site, not having access to the internet.
Clicking on the signature field does not provide a way to create the handwritten signature, and although the sign tab shows EchoSign in Adobe reader, allowing you to create such a signature this is shown as disabled (I imagine because I have extended the form).
This is the last piece to the puzzle. Any ideas?
Thank,
Len
p.s. I did see a version using a flash object on ADEP 10, http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998457#3998457 but this seems a little hacky, plus I would prefer to use acrobat Pro because it does everything else I want it to do.

  • Tools for signing a pdf form using a stylus

    I have created a form using Life Cycle Designer ES 8.2 and have included some signature boxes for uses to sign, on a Windows 7 o/s.  Instead of using digital signatures I would like the users to scribe on a professionally looking and performing wireless pad using a stylus tool/pen.  I have sourced such a device call the Wireless Bamboo pad from Wacom, but have read some mixed reports about the sensitivity and responsiveness of this device.
    Does anyone have any experience of using such a device and could suggest what would be the best device to use?

    Sorry about that, I assumed it was the Android version. Adobe Reader should work just fine then, assuming that signing with the pencil tool is sufficient. This is the same as the "Apply Ink Signature" tool. The document will just need to be Reader-enabled.

  • HT2506 How do I get Adobe Acrobat to see/print pdf forms I've filled out in Preview

    I've been working in Preview and filling out Adobe Acrobat created forms according to instructions from the help in Preview.  However, whent these filled forms are submitted to someone and opened in Adobe Acrobat, they can neither see what I've filled out nor can it be printed (all that comes out is a blank form).  How can I properly fill out the forms so that Acrobat can see and print the filled out forms.

    Just as I suspected, Preview is mucking up the DD Form 1351-2 form. I filled it out, saved it in Preview and opened it in Acrobat Pro and the fields were blank. If I open it in Reader, I can fill out the form, save it, and open it in Acrobat Pro just fine, all data intact.
    I don't know why Preview does such a bad job with forms - I just know that as an AcroForms designer, I always suggest using Reader to fill in forms.
    BTW, I also tried it in Windows 7, using Reader and Acrobat Pro, and it worked as expected.

  • How to set a pop up calendar control in pdf  form using javascript?

    I'd like to add a pop up calendar control in a PDF form using Adobe Javascript.
    The user should be able to select a date from the calendar control.
    Awaiting a solution at  the earliest.

    Let's say I did provide you with a solution... Wouldn't that be a "third-party solution" as well?
    These tools are not compiled, you know. You have direct access to their source-code and can make sure they don't do anything else beside what they're supposed to do.

  • How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

    How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
    One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

    Guitaristica-
    I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time.  The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
    You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.

  • How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

    How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
    The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

    I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
    My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up  getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
    The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
    The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
    Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
    I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
    Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

  • How do i get multiple internet screens going on Safari?

    How do I get multiple internet screens going on Safari at the same time?

    Do you mean "New window" (command-n) or "New tab" (command-t)? Are you in "Full Screen Mode"? If so, hit the escape key to exit that mode before making a new window or tab.  Use Expose/Mission Control to manage windows.

  • How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs?

    My ipad does not always recognise a pdf file as as incoming mail attachment, so I cannot always open the pdf in another app.
    Although the attachment shows as a paperclip in the mail header, sometimes the content of the attachment is displayed in the body on the email. When this happens I don't get the small square window at the top right corner of the screen where you can select another app to open the pdf.
    How do I get my ipad to recognise my pdf attachments as pdfs and not show the content in the body of the mail message?

    This is from page 44 of the iPad User Manual:
    Open a meeting invitation or attachment: Tap the item. If the attachment can be used by multiple apps, touch and hold to choose an app that works with the file.
    Based on this, I suggest trying this:
    Touch and hold an area of the PDF file that displays in the body in your email.  Do you get the behavior described in the manual above?

  • How do I get an XY Chart to display properly while using embedded loop

    s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.I have also stored my data in a daily text file that is tab delimited. The text files consists of a row of text column headers, a blank row and then rows of data. The data rows are mixed data types. The first column is a date/time such as Mar 1, 2002 12:01 pm. The remaining columns are numeric data. I can't seem to get my data to plot properly in an XY chart from memory and am having problems parsing the data with mixed data types in the data r
    ows. The format I am using works great for viewing the history files in Excel.
    When I plot the data, I either get a single point or a a series of points for a single reading of all channels or I get a line connecting all data for that single scan reading. What am I doing wrong? At this point, I don't care if I read the data from the file to plot it or if I can just get Labview to plot correctly as the data is gathered without going to the history file.
    As noted in the summary question, I have embedded loops in my applicaiton. I have a while-loop that determines the scan rate and keeps the program running until it is turned off. Inside of that, I have a for-loop (in a subVI) which scans all my data channels.
    Thanks for your help.

    s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.XY plots expect a cluster containing two 1D arrays for the X and Y
    coordinates of the individual points. If you want multiple plots you can
    supply an array of these clusters but you have to resupply the "x" array
    for each of them.
    Hope that helps,

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
