How do I prevent the use of a digital signature?

I realize this flies in the face of some core security issues built into PDFs, but here we go...
We have a customer for whom we are creating fillable PDF forms. Due to the nature of the documents, they require handwritten signatures on printed hard copy. Since the ability to digitally sign any PDF is enabled by default, and especially since Acrobat Reader X apparently prompts the user to use a digital signature, our customer is concerned that some end-users (most of whom will be non-tech-savvy) will be confused by the digital signature concept and would prefer to prevent the use of digital signatures at all. I have played with the security settings in Acrobat Pro, but they are not granular enough to allow filling in a form without also allowing a digital signature. Any way to prevent signing?
Thanks,
Mike

@George Johnson:
I tried to edit and save the form from within Acrobat Standard X, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
@brogers_1:
I am not familiar with EchoSign, but since the end-users are not part of my organization, nor my customer's, I won't have access to their registry settings.
I don't want DigSigs at all.
There is no signature field in the document--unless it is somehow hidden.
When a user either left- or right-clicks any form field (in Reader X at least), a window pops up titled "Form Can Be Filled and Signed Electronically" with a note to click "Sign" etc.:

How do I prevent the use of electronic signatures?

I have numerous fillable forms that my office makes available to the general public. The forms must be printed and signed by hand. However, we continually receive the documents with digital signatures, and I need to find a way to prevent Reader from offering the option to e-sign. I'm using version 10.1.10, on a Windows 7 PC.
I've pretty new to working with Acrobat, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you set up standard password security so that form filling and signing existing digital signature fields is allowed, you should be OK.

Can't change the font to my digital signature, which I never wanted to change in the first place.

How do I change the font to my digital signature? Why did Adobe force me to change it in the first place?

The only way to resolve this then is to ask iTunes Support for help. Only they can deal with the issue now.

How to prevent the use of wild cards in select-option

Hello experts,
Is it possible to prevent the use of wild cards in a select-option? If yes, how is it done please?
I have a
SELECT-OPTIONS: o_comp FOR dbtab-field OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 'FI'.
and, I want to prevent the users for giving in some thing like FI* with the wildcard bc it would lead to dump.
I want an error message to display and prevent the users for making such entry.
Please I need your help and I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Nadin

You have to use SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT to restrict input allowed. Call this FM in INITIALIZATION or SELECTION-SCREEN OUPUT sections.
Sample :
TYPE-POOLS: sscr.
INITIALIZATION.
* Restrict SELECT-OPTIONS
PERFORM restrict_select.
FORM restrict_select.
DATA: restrict TYPE sscr_restrict,
        opt_list TYPE sscr_opt_list,
        *** TYPE sscr_***.
* Défine select-options modes (aka option list)
* - ALL standard - all options allowed
CLEAR opt_list.
MOVE 'ALL' TO opt_list-name.
MOVE 'X' TO: opt_list-options-bt,
               opt_list-options-cp,
               opt_list-options-eq,
               opt_list-options-ge,
               opt_list-options-gt,
               opt_list-options-le,
               opt_list-options-lt,
               opt_list-options-nb,
               opt_list-options-ne,
               opt_list-options-np.
APPEND opt_list TO restrict-opt_list_tab.
* - EQU only equality allowed (list of values)
CLEAR opt_list.
MOVE 'EQU' TO opt_list-name.
MOVE 'X' TO opt_list-options-eq.
APPEND opt_list TO restrict-opt_list_tab.
* Affect modes to parameters or block of parameters
* ALL by default
CLEAR ***.
MOVE: 'A'          TO ***-kind,
        '*'          TO ***-sg_main,
        'ALL'        TO ***-op_main.
APPEND *** TO restrict-***_tab.
* EQU to internal material number
CLEAR ***.
MOVE: 'S'          TO ***-kind,
        'S-MATNR'    TO ***-name,
        'I'          TO ***-sg_main, " no exclusion
        'EQU'        TO ***-op_main. " only value list
APPEND *** TO restrict-***_tab.
* Call FM
CALL FUNCTION 'SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT'
       EXPORTING
            restriction = restrict
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS      = 1.
ENDFORM.                    " restrict_select
In the sample, only select-options for matnr is restricted to single value list.
For your request build a mode with all options except "pattern" ones : CP and NP.

You should only need a SIM in it to actually activate it in iTunes. Once activated, leave the SIM in or remove it, it should not matter.
Then, turn on airplane mode. And then, go into wifi settings and re-enable wifi (this leaves the cellular radio in airplane mode = powered off).
Now your iPhone is effectively no more than a (wifi only) iPod Touch.

When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

Hello Cgifford,
Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
To output your signal to the PFI lines,
you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
1)
On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
need to route the signal using the property:
You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
2)
This will depend on the frequency of
your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
- Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
- MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
3)
The short answer is yes. The longer one
might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

Can you prevent the use of consecutive numbers in a password, using Group Policy?

The regular old password complexity requirements disallow the use of 3 consecutive characters that appear in the user's account name / display name, but does not prevent the use of consecutive numbers at all. For example, a user can have a password including
the string "12345". We have the need to disallow this via GP in order to make our passwords compatible with an outside service to which we would like to synchronize. I see no way to do this with the typical Password Policy settings. Anyone out
there have any hints as to how I might accomplish this?
This is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain.

You need a custom password filter dll on your DCs:

How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?

How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?
Is it possible?
The buffer is emptied and flushed 10-11 seconds before the real end of the flv file.
The file is locally saved and I stream it though crtmp server.
I cannot seek the last 10 seconds because of empty buffer. How can I stop flash from flushing the buffer at end?

i used the same code and i got it working correctly...
thanx a lot fot it...
now i have one more problem with it.
Actually i created a new class 'ErrorDialog' and the function showErrorDialog() inside it.
now i want the option YES_NO_OPTION and the function sayshowMsgDialog() returning int value indicating the option selected from the dialog box.
I tried it with following code
public
static
int
confirmDialog( String message_in, Component parent_in, String title_in,
int messageType_in )
try
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( message_in, messageType_in,
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog( parent_in, title_in );
dialog.setResizable( false );
dialog.show();
int optionType = -1;
try
optionType = ( ( Integer )( pane.getValue() ) ).intValue();
catch( Exception ee )
optionType = -1;
dialog.dispose();
return optionType;
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
but, since return is after dispose() it is throwing an error 'missing return value'
can i get some kind of solution for this?
waiting eagerly...........

Khaled,

Try writing a personalization on the PO screen that adds the following condition to the where clause
"and authorization_status !='APPROVED'
However, I will be careful with a blanket restriction like this. There are situations when you need to modify an existing PO. So you should code some exceptions for this rule.
Hope this helps,

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
NC:alwaysAsk="false"
NC:saveToDisk="false"
NC:useSystemDefault="false"
NC:handleInternal="false">

How to Create a PDF Document and apply Digital Signature in C# using the Adobe SDK?

Hi Everybody!
I have to do two distinct tasks here:
1) How can I create a PDF document using the Adobe SDK in my .NET Applications(C# - 2.0)?
I just need a basic sample to create a document with a simple text, for example. I did not find any useful information in the adobe documentation. I have the Acrobat Professional 8.0 in my computer, but it's very dificult to work whith de Acrobat.dll and .NET with a poor documentaion.
2)How can I apply digital signature in a existent pdf document?
I need to sign documents using the SDK, just a basic sample in c# would be helpful to start!
Anybody could help?
Thank in advance!

Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
I will explain better my problem:
I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
Thank you very much!

How can we prevent the PO while creating the sales order

Hi All,
How can we prevent the PO number while creating sales order with existing PO. I have checked the box in sales document type as A but still im able to create sales order with same PO.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen

Hi
In VOV8 check the box
Check Purchase Order Number
The purpose of this field is to check for duplicate
purchase order (PO) numbers during sales order entry. When you select A in
this field, SAP gives a warning message during sales order creation if another sales
document for same customer with the same PO number exists already. Leave this
field blank if you do not want SAP to check for duplicate PO numbers.
