I cannot e sign a pdf form

I am logged into my adobe acct so it isnt a question about forgotten passwords-however I cannot e sign a pdf form, why?

I saw the response below on another post and wonder if this will resolve your issue too.  Good luck.
The error in Adobe's programming on this page for some users is that what is addressed above is that you cannot enter a password because there is only ONE place that appears....there isn't two visible places that the user can match. 
To get around this, first enter your password in the box you can see (first box).  Then the work around is that you enter the TAB KEY.  This will put you into the next box (that you can't see) and you will re-type your password blindly.  Make sure that you are typing it in exactly as the first as you are typing in the proverbial ether.   Hit the 'accept' button (or enter or whatever the OK button is for the page--sorry, i don't have the exact reference in front of me--but i think this part is self-explanatory) that you can see.  Hope this helps.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Multiple users signing the pdf form

    I have date fields in the pdf form in which the signed date is inserted when each user signs the form. Although the Digital Signature property in pdf provides date property on the signature image. But we have a business requirement to show date field separately on pdf form. Suppose User1 signs the application and the date is inserted in its corresponding date field. But when User2 signs the application and the date is inserted the signatures of User1 gets invalidated.
    Is there any way by which pdf field can be made editable even after one user signs the application?

    PDF supports multiple signatures on a single form or document.  When using a form, you can use field collections to associate specific fields to a certain signature and lock those fields after signing, while leaving other fields accessible.  There are many posts throughout this forum that discusss this functionality, here is one...  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769340
    As for signature status, applying a second signature (or more) after a form or document has been signed will NOT invalidate the original signature, however it will change the status of the original signature to something like "Valid with signed changes".  Each subsequent signature will change the status of the previous signature, but this is not the same as invalidating a signature.
    This behaviour is by design as a signature applied to a PDF signs the entire byte range of the PDF, not just a portion of it.

  • Signing a PDF Form

    I would like to create a PDF form that my service technicians can use in the field to report service tickets. The tech will need the customer to sign the form. How can I do this with Acrobat Pro X without any additional software?
    The techs will be using Asus Eee tablets with digitizer stylus, which will be used to sign. The tablet will only have Acrobat Reader X installed.

    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.

  • Turn off "Verifying all signatures" when digitally signing a pdf form?

    Hey All!
    I have a pdf form (created with Acrobat X) with muliple digital signatures fields. Any time you sign a field, Adobe verifies all other signed signatures fields within the document.
    So the more signature fields allready been signed, the longer it takes to place a new digital signature due to the adobe verifying setting mentioned above.
    I have allready turned off "Verify signatures when the document is opened" in the security preferences, but I couldn't find a place to turn it off when signing a document.
    I am just thinking, whoever designed the Acrobat/Adobe program must have left an option to disable those security features...so I even looked in Adobe policy within windows
    registry, but I couldn't find anything either.
    It's very frustrating - at the end of the form it takes up to 20 minutes to place a signature.
    Any ideas and thoughts are more the welcome!!
    Thanks

    Sir, thank you for the quick response!
    No, It's a 22-pages form with 25 different signatures using PKI.

  • Is there a way to limit who can sign a PDF form?

    Morning,
    I am using Acrobat X with Livecycle ES2
    Does anyone know a way to limit who can sign a PDF with their digital signature?
    For example:
    I create a form in LiveCycle and put the finished form in to a public managers directory in Windows.
    For this specific form only “Manager2” and “Manager8” are authorized to sign it with their digital signatures. All other 15 managers can open the form, but when they attempt to sign it, get an error saying they are not authorized, or something similar.
    Is this possible within Adobe Acrobat?
    Note: Please do not suggest adjusting the Windows file/directory permissions, as this is not an option.
    I am open ears for all Adobe suggestions.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks,
    K

    Yes, it's possible to set seed values for digital signature fields that can limit who is able to sign. LiveCycle Designer even has a UI for specifying the various options for a signature field, unlike Acrobat.

  • Cannot E-Mail a PDF Form w/ a Submit Button

    Hi, I feel really inept at this point and I'm hoping someone can help me (PLEASE!).  My Home Owner Assoc. uses PDF forms created in Nitro PDF, but most users user Adobe Reader.
    When a Nitro PDF form is opened in Reader, everything works as designed (radio buttons, form filling, tabbing, drop down lists, etc.) EXCEPT the Submit Button. The response is "This Operation Is Not Permitted" when the button is clicked.
    If I go to File, Attach to E-Mail, the response is "The e-mail copy that you just chose will e-mail a blank copy of this form.  The blank copy will not contain any data you might have typed into this form" with a button that states "E-MAIL A BLANK COPY".  Obviously this defeats the purpose.  There is a lightbulb TIP that states: "This form contains an email submit button, located on the form.  Clicking this email submit button will email a data file containing data you type into this form", so obviously Reader recognizes the submit button.
    The form works perfectly in NitroPDF (of course) and NitroPDF support says that it is a "problem" on the Adobe end.
    Can anyone help me please?  I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium SP!, Firefox 3.0.11, NitroPDF5.5, Adobe Reader Version 9.1.0.2009022700
    Randy in Palm Springs

    Hi Michael, thanks for this info.  I really appreciate it... I
    just have one point of clarification:  I don't want to save the
    data put into the form at all, just e-mail it (not to be saved),
    similar to printing it out complete with data, then ignoring the
    file.  Is that still not possible?
    Thanks soooo much for your help.  I don't feel quite as inept now

  • Cannot read filled-out pdf form on iPad

    Hello,
    I completed and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the form is blank and I can't see any of the filled-out data.  After searching online for solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > Advanced, but PDF Optimizer is grayed out and I don't find info on how to activate it.  Any help would be appreciated!

    If Adobe did I would recommend Acrobat.
    ReaderISO work okay but nothing with any javascript or ability work with forms
    Currently Reader is just that it allows your look at some PDF's
    That is the only PDF Application that allows full java script and Forms fillout.

  • Cannot open Hyperlinks in PDF Forms

    We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website.  Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields.  But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage.  When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions.  I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks.  Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer.  Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs.  Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either.  The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
    Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
    Is there way to modify this?

    Screenshot is pasted below.  Let me know if you can’t see it.
    Also, I have attached some other screenshots displaying my problem.
    1.       Can’t open PDF in Chrome PDF Viewer
    2.       Doesn’t open in eCopy
    3.       Does open in PowerPDF, but Hyperlinks don’t work.

  • 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.

  • Users cannot E-sign my PDF

    I created a PDF with an E-sign field, but my users can't actually sign it. The box with the red tab on it is visible, but when they click on it, no e-signing functions are available.

    This is the window that shows up on my wife's computer when I open the document on it. The signing pane is grayed out, even when I click on the Digital Signature box with the red tab. Please keep in mind that I am 100% new to making PDFs so I really don't know much about the process. I kinda trial and error'ed my way through it.

  • How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

    I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

    Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
    this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
    Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

  • I cannot open any online pdf forms with reader, is acrobat somehow blocking me from doing this?

    Have tried redownloading reader and flash but still having trouble

    How are you trying to open them? Are you using a browser (if so which one)? What versions of Reader and Acrobat might be useful. If in a browser, can you right click on the PDF and select to open in a specific application like reader?

  • Non-Digital Signature on PDF Form

    I've created a form and have a space where a signature is needed.  I'd like to use the signature field, but when my audience tested it the box was blank and did not allow them to upload a digital signature or go through the adobe security signature process (which it did for me).  This could be because they are only looking at it in Reader.  Nonetheless, here's my question:
    Is there a way to create a signature field where they can either upload their own electronic signature (like from a .jpg file) or let them sign it with a different font?
    Or do I just leave the signature field off, let them print it and hard sign the form, scan it and email it back?
    Help!

    Recent versions of Acrobat can use digital certificates to sign PDF forms with a digital signature field.
    Only Reader version XI can use a digital certificate to sign a PDF form with a digital signature field only if the form does not have Extended Reader Rights. Older versions or Reader cannot sign with a digital certificate.
    If you need this or all versions or Reader you either need to use Echosign or other signing service or purchase a LIveCycle Server product to apply the special right for digital certificate signing. But this will be costly.

  • Multiple digital signatures in a pdf form?

    I'm creating an adobe pdf form that requires multiple approvers (one after the other) to digitally sign the form. However, once the second person digitally signs the form, the first person's signature will become invalid because the addition of the second signature is not signed by the first person.
    Is it possible to digitally sign the pdf form excluding the signatures?  and how to allow multiple signature in a pdf form while ensuring the form integrity?

    Hi,
    I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
    If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.
