How to clear signature in acrobat pro dc

I want to clear a signature on a DC document form that I created. I used to be able to do so by right-clicking the signature field and choose "Clear Signature" but that option is not available.

Hello Pete,
The "Clear Signature" option is available in Acrobat Pro DC as it was in Acrobat XI Pro.
You can clear a signature if you are the signer, that is, if the digital ID with which you did the signing is available to Acrobat.
I can think of two reasons that "Clear signature" might not be available:
1. Your digital ID is not available to Acrobat Pro DC. That is, you have not yet imported it for use in Acrobat or don't have your smart card in the reader, etc.
2. When you signed the PDF, you chose the option to "Lock Document After Signing".
Regards,
Charlene

  • Cursive signature in Acrobat Pro X

    1. I need to create a cursive signature in Acrobat Pro X - is there a way to do this without having to upload another file?
    2. I created a digital ID but can't locate it with the browse function.

    You'd normally create an image (or vector graphic) of your signature in some way and use it as the source for the signature appearance. Acrobat doesn't prompt you to hand-draw a signature and use it for an appearance.
    To find the file, you can open launch the "Digital ID and Trusted Certificates Setting" dialog, locate the digital ID file in the list (Digital IDs > Digital ID Files), click "Certificate Details", Details tab, Certificate Data > Private Key <see details>
    and it will show where the .pfx file is on your system.
    I don't recall how to do the first step in Acrobat 10, but in 11 they changed it to: Edit > Preferences > Signatures > Identities & Trusted Certificates
    and in Reader 10 it's under: Edit > Protection > Security Settings

  • How do i transfer my Acrobat Pro 10 from computer which dies to new unit?

    How do I transfer my Acrobat Pro 10 from one computer which dies to my new one.  I have serial number and am original buyer. Thx Jim

    if you need to reset your activation count, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    if you need the installation program and if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

    I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
    My questions:
    1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
    2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
    Thanks so much!!
    (More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

    Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
    This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
    I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
    Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
    Many thanks!

  • Can't clear signature box (Acrobat X Pro)

    Hi,
    I have read some into this and have tried some different fixes with no luck. I had to re-image a person's PC who uses PKI certs. on a CAC to sign PDFs. Acrobat X Pro was re-installed and updated. The digital ID on the CAC is the same before the re-image and it validates. I went to ECA.ORC.com to update the HW4/5/signing certs. and had them jacked into Outlook (just in case it calls on that for some reason). The edit function under tools is grayed out and there is no "security" on the PDF. The customer claims he could right click the signature box and the option to clear would be there; it is not there now. What am I missing here? Thanks.

    Below is what my customer saw but its for v.11 and he has 10 Pro. The Key mentioned is not even there in 10.

  • Save not working on 'Clear signature' in Acrobat 9!

    We have a custom Digital Signature plugin in which 'DSDoSave' and 'DSDoSaveAs' callbacks are implemented.
    In Acrobat 9 (Standard), we are able to craete the custom signature that gets saved/committed in the PDF.
    Next time when we open that PDF and select 'Clear Signature' option from the right-click context menu, the sign gets cleared off.
    When we click on 'Save', the 'DSDoSave' callback is executed which has this line:-
         ASBool bRetVal = CALL_REPLACED_PROC(gAcroViewHFT, AVDocDoSaveSEL, DSDoSave) (avDoc);
    So, it appears that the PDF is saved with the cleared signature, which infact isn't. When we open that PDF next time, it still contains the digital signature.
    However, if click on 'Save As' and save it as a new PDF, that one gets saved with the signature cleared which is as expected.
    Any ideas/suggestions on how to get the PDF saved with the cleared signature on 'Save click'?

    Thanks Irosenth for ur reply, but I still have a question.
    When i open any PDF from local disk, clear the sign and save it, it works!!
    However, the same operation is not working in our system scenario...(i.e when we open a PDF from our server).
    Could you let me know how to save the cleared sig state in the AVDoc or PDDoc object? Because as I last updated, AVDoc object
    is passed to DSDoSave on Save click.
    I appreciate any inputs on this.

  • "Ink" Signatures in Acrobat Pro XI

    I upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI and I can't find a way to use my Wacom tablet to write or sign on a document.  In the previous version under the sign tab there was a "place ink signature" where I could write with my Wacom tablet.  It seems to have been replaced in XI with a "Place signature" button that allows you to create a saved "ink" signature and then just "stamp" that signature when you click on the "Place signature" button.  That is great most of the time, however I often get documents where this button will not work.  On some documents when I click it I get a dialog box that says:
    To electronically sign this document or place initials, please click save a copy.
    THis is obviously not what I want to do.  I don't want to electronically sign the document.
    Two questions:
    1.  Why does this happen on some documents while with others the "ink signature" that is saved works fine.
    2.  How do I just "write" on a document with my tablet?

    I think you'll still have to Save a Copy. The file sounds as if it is Reader Enabled, which locks it, and Save a copy in Acrobat turns that off.

  • Add multiple signature boxes acrobat pro

    How do I add a second signature box for an additional signer in Acrobat Pro?

  • Add image signature in Acrobat Pro DC

    In the last version on Acrobat Pro, I would click "Fill & Sign" and then select my signature, which is a scan of my actual signature. Then, when closing the document, it would append "-signed" to the file name. How do I do that in DC??? So far I don't like the new version.

    Hi penserv,
    In case if you want to  append "-signed" to the file name when saving you need to use the 'Certificates' tool.
    Please open the PDF file on Acrobat Pro DC, Choose ' Certificates ' option from Tools, you will get a option at the top ' Digitally Sign ', please select it & draw a box by dragging the cursor on the file where you want to add the digital signature.
    A pop up window will appear on your screen, please choose 'Sign as' -> 'New ID' option from the drop down, follow the prompts to create a digital signature.
    Once the digital signature is created you can choose 'Appearance'  -> 'Create new Appearance' option on the same pop up window to add your Scanned Signature Image to the digital signature.
    Now, when you will Save the PDF it will append "-signed" to the file name.
    Let me know if it works for you. In case if you still need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.
    Regards,

  • How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

    A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.
