How do you digitally sign or electronically sign a document in Preview?

Heya
I'm wondering if it's possible to "digitally sign" or "electronically sign" a document in Preview? This feature exists in Adobe Acrobat. If not, does anyone know a workaround or plugin to accomplish this? Thanks!

I believe the free Acrobat reader (9) will do that.
Otherwise you'll need the Pro version.
Here is what the Reader page says:
With each new release, Adobe continues to add functionality to Adobe® Reader® software, making it an extremely versatile tool capable of viewing, searching, *digitally signing*, verifying, printing, and collaborating with electronic documents.

    > (1) When I download the SDK, it only has a setup file which I launch - I don't see any documentation in there and no menu item is created.
    Where did you download the SDK?

    May be a problem of your browser.

    Look at the JavaScript sample AddSignature in the SDK.

    Hi all,

    Do you mean a tool other than Adobe Acrobat or Reader?  Since this is the Acrobat SDK, your users would already have Acrobat installed and can sign PDFs just fine.
    What would you be adding to that?

    Hi 2014 nurse pracitioner,
    Let's see what we can figure out! What happens when you try to sign your documents? Are you receiving an error message when you try to sign? When you open a file in Reader, do you see Sign in the upper-right corner, as shown below:
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • In Acrobat XI, how can we have more than 2 people digitally sign a document or template?.

    The document is a PDF template with 2 signature fields for approval. When the first person digital signs the document it shows the GREEN tick that it's signed and all signatures are valid. Then it gets emailed for the second person to digitally sign and ofcourse, the document becomes invalid. (We don't want to use the echoSign cloud service and there is no Acrobat server setup). Can someone share the light please?

    A PDF Form Template will try an execute an action to create a new page based on the template page.  This action will break the first signature because it changes the document by adding a new page after it has been signed.  Is it imperative that the document be a PDF Form Template?   If all that is called for is two signatures then create the document with two signature fields and without it being a PDF Form Template.

  • How can I digitally sign a pdf document and also disallow changes to the document?

    When I digitally sign the document it does not let me lock it down - when I lock down the doc first, it does not allow for digital signature. Please help.

    The initial document should have its properties set as:
    Changing the Document: Not allowed
    Signing: Allowed
    That way no one can make changes to it but anyone may sign it. These properties are available in v9, but I'm not sure about previous versions.

  • I need to digital sign a document using Acrobat Reader. Is it possibile?

    I am an IT Manager for a little city in northern italy.
    I have almost 50 clients with smart cards enabled for what concerns digital signage.
    I use flawlessy the software of the firm who provides the smart card. (infocamere.it).
    This uses sha256 crypt, no problems about it.
    The problem I have is:
    The final file is a "p7m" envelope.
    I would prefer to use a "pdf" envelope. One only file.
    I tried to follow this video
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-with-adobe-reader/
    Simply it doesn't work.
    I have also a couple of Acrobat Standard.
    I can "pdf-sign" with Acrobat Standard 9.
    I am not able to do the same with reader 9 or X.
    There is a way to do it?
    Thank You.

    You can sign a PDF using Adobe Reader 9 or X, but the document must be "Reader Extended" to enable this functionality, This can be done using ADEP\LiveCycle Reader Extensions (server product) or Acrobat Professional 9 (Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader) or Acrobat X Professional (File > Save As > Reader extended PDF)
    For some more info...  http://www.adobe.com/eeurope/products/server/readerextensions/  or http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/Overview/WS92d06802c76abadb2c8525912dd cb9aad9-7ffa.html

  • Digitally signing pdf documents

    We want to digitally sign pdf documents that are generated in the printing service / AS. (rwclient is used on the client machines to access the printing service.)
    The digital sign should be on all generated pdf documents, with no intervention by the end users. The digital sign should hence be on behalf on the organisation, not the individual user issuing the pdf dokument.
    In addition we would like to lock the pdf documents in order på prevent manipulation of the content.
    Any surgestions on how to achieve this?
    Regards

    Hello,
    You can create your own destination .
    An example is available on OTN :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/index.html
    Secure PDF Destination
    This destination creates a secure PDF that is password-protected. This sample is tested with Oracle Reports 9i, Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4), and Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).

  • Can IXOS (OPENTEXT) handle digitally signed PDF documents

    Hi All,
    we have requirement where we want to store digitally signed PDF documents in IXOS (OPENTEXT) server and view them using IXOS viewer.  I have tried to save one digitally sighed PDF but it was also password protected and I was not able to open it with the IXOS live link opener.
    Request you to share your experience or views on this.
    Thanks a lot.
    Best regards,
    Vithal

    hi,
    yes IXOS handlesDigitaly signed PDF documents,
    http://opentext.com/download/livelinkdownload.html?path=/corporate/investor/secfiling/FY2005Q4_10K.pdf
    Please refere tihis doc..
    The repository supports queries based on metadata, full-text index and even a combination
    of both. Another option is to render document content to a long-term format like TIFF or PDF.  Using
    digital signatures (time stamps) it can be assured that content cannot be modified without recognition.
    Hence clearly say's retrival or access doc need to enter digital signature which are preconfigured during DOC creation phase.

  • Is it possible to digitally sign a document in reader for iOS?

    We sign documents using adobe reader 9.3 & std/pro 9.2 0. Can we create a digital signature and sign documents?

    Steve,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I did not think it was possible as yet.  We have many engineers and Pilots
    that wanted to use their iPads to sign documents.  This would eliminate the
    need to go back to their PC.
    I don't expect this feature to be too far in the future.

  • How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    Hi friends,
    Thank you for trying to help me out.
    Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
    I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
    I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
    I think now my question is more clear...

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.
