How Do I Sign, Seal, and Protect a .pdf from Tampering?

Hello Everyone.
I originally posted this question in the Mac OS Adobe Acrobat Pro section; the folks over there had no idea what to tell me. Neither did Acrobat telephone support. They told me to take my post over to the Windows side. "They might know the answer there."
I'm a physician in the position of writing notes that may be introduced into evidence later.
I know there are electronic signature signature solutions for Acrobat, analogous to PGP or VeriSign for emails which prove:
1. I wrote it.
2. It hasn't been tampered with since it was written.
3. It was written on this date at that time.
Period
Are these signature solutions platform specific? Are they Windows-only. It seems to me that a third party makes them.
Also, is it possible to keep a running journal and sign & seal each day's entry? Or does each day require a separate document? Will I end up with 20-30 separate signed .pdf documents at the end of this?
Thanks to all in advance.

Signatures are platform agnostic. You need a digital signature. For court, I'd get a digital signature that proves that you are you. You cannot keep signing new versions of the pdf, since the signatures will invalidate the previous signatures.
Agnostic, huh? They do their work, but aren't sure the Great Computer exists. (I'm trying to get a laugh out of my current situation.) I spent two years in pre-theology at U.C. Santa Barbara before doing a 180 into the hard sciences. Over 30 years ago.
Who makes the signature you specify and others? How do they work? How many devaluing dollars? If you are an Adobe employee, I guess you can't answer that question on the forum. I'm new to the forum. I don't know if one can send me this answer by email unless I have my email posted for spammers to harvest.
Can you give me some pointers? I'm not being lazy, I just don't have time to do much except work like hell, sleep and eat at the moment.
Also, can the 20-30 individually signed documents eventually be put together by Adobe Acrobat Pro into a collection or porfoilo of some kind? Or would the individual documents need to be kept in a PGP pseudo vault for security and handed over as individual files? I'm guessing that the signature solution you propose involves a notary public somewhere in the process of activation.
Thanks.

How do I sign, save, and close a completed from in Adobe Reader for iOS?

After completing a PDF form and emailing it from Adobe Reader for iOS, the recipient receives it as a form and can change it. How do I save the form in Adobe Reader for iOS before sending it as an email so that the recipient cannot update it further.
Thank you.

Thank you George. Are there any Apps you would recommend? I am looking for something where a PDF form can be completed, and perhaps annotated, and then flattened to email to be filed as a record.

How can I sign a password protected PDF doc?

I am trying to sign a password protected document, downloaded from a government site. I can use all button and drop-down menus and also validate the document but then, when I click on the line where I have to sign, there is only the cursor flashing and I cannot sign it. It seems that the document was created with version 8.1.7. and I have 11.0.02. Does anyone know what I have to do to sign this doc?

Is the thing you're clicking on a text field or a digital signature field?

Hi Proweld,
There are two ways to use ExportPDF subscription. Using Web Browser (http://exportpdf.acrobat.com) and another one is using Adobe Reader.
Kindly look into the below mentioend document, and let me know if that helps.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?

How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?

Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing phone

How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing our phones

Don't sync each iPhone with the same supported address book app on the shared computer.
There are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air such as with a free iCloud account, with a Yahoo account, Gmail account, and Hotmail account.
Do that instead with different accounts for each of you and no longer sync contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer.

Single Sign on and Protect URL step

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle Internet Directory, Identity Server, Web Pass, Policy manager, Access Server and WebGate (attached to Oracle HTTP Server from Oracle Management Infrastructure).
My questions are:
- How do I protect URL so the user will need to login to access certain URL?
- How do I enable single sign on and test it?
- What are the general steps involve to enable URL protection (so if the url is protected it will prompt for username and password) and single sign on using Oracle Internet Directory?
Kindly help me if anyone know a solution or can point me to the right documentation. I have tried to read Oracle Access Manager - Access Administration Guide, but keep getting confused.
Thanks.
Regards,
Alfonso

Hi,
You can follow Oracle Access Manager Integration Guide (10.1.4.0.1) B25347-01, chapter 4, to achieve this. This document will answer most of your questions.

Since signing up and paying for PDF conversion I have never been able to get the document I download to look anything like the original form. How do I correct this and what is a phone number to contact someone at Adobe

What I scan into my computer and what Adobe converts look nothing alike. Many discrepancies How do I correct this and what is a phone number to speak with a human being at Adobe

Does it say it will convert into an exact copy of the PDF? If it does, marketing need to fix what they say. Just converting is miracle enough for me, knowing the difficulties.
If it isn't going to satisfy you, you need to contact Adobe for a refund. Use the CHAT link in support (be sure to make the right choices, or you don't get the link).

How do I sign out of my gmail account from my imac

Hello, I'm new to apple imac. How do I sign out/logg off out of my gmail e-mail account so that any & everyone who sits at me computer can open the mail app and read all of my e-mails?

I don't think you can log out of Mail, it's either launched and available or it isn't.
What I was suggesting is creating a totally separate Mac user account/accounts for other users of your Mac. When you use it you log in as you and have access to all your files/folders/emails/photos/music, etc. When you're done you log out of your account on the Mac from the Apple Menu, top left of the screen (this will prevent access to all your files by someone else). When someone else might want to use the computer they log in to their account or you may create a generic account for all other casual users. The instructions above explains how to create this secondary account on your Mac.
If you wish, you can also set the screen to require your password when it wakes up, which would also stop other people having access to your Mac once the screen saver has kicked in: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General tab.
System Preference can be found under the Apple menu (top left), on the Dock (normally) or in the Applications folder.

How can I sign out of my iCloud account from a macbook I no longer have access to?

I got a new macbook recently and neglected to sign out of my iCloud account on the old macbook before I erased and reset it. Now eveytime I open a new Safari page on my iPhone, both macbooks show up with the Safari windows that are still "open". I want to remove my old mac from my iCloud account and have removed it from Find My iPhone but the Safari link still shows up. This is driving me bonkers.

If you mean the iCloud tabs for your old Mac, these will normally be cleared after 14 days. Give it a couple of weeks and see if they don't disappear on their own.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372:
"If you no longer have access to the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days, if the tab is not updated."
Also, seeing the iCloud tab doesn't mean it's still signed into your account. It just means that the tab hasn't been cleared yet. If you completely erased it should no longer be signed into your account.
