I created buttons and added a digital signature, when I saved and reopened my buttons disappeared?

I created a multi page PDF with numerous buttons for navigation. I realized I had forgotten to sign one of the individual pages, (I had recently added) so I simply put in a digital signature. I saved the document and reopened it later to find it made all the buttons non functional and uneditable... Some of the buttons were transparent (placed over written dates for reference) and some were colored boxes with text. The colored buttons became "flattened" and I could no longer edit them or click on anything.
Why did this happen? Is the digital signature to blame? Is there a way to edit the existing buttons or do I need to recreate all of them along with the actions associated with each? any assistance would be much appreciated!

It's possible to set up a signature field to lock other fields when it is signed. Could that be what happened? It also possible to choose to lock the file when signed to prevent changes. It's hard to tell what happened without seeing the file.

Digital Signature when order TECO

Hello,
I have a requirement now where order TECO need to sign-off. This is requirement by the industry. What i am thinking of is using digital signature to achieve this.
I know digital signature can be configured for operation sign-off as explain [here.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/da/49d9c433ff4985b2484b7b911123cf/frameset.htm] I don't need digital signature at all operation.
What i want is the digital signature when i TECO the order. Is this possible using standard/configuration or do i need to go into development?

Dear Chin,
It si not possible through standard SAP Customization.
As per standard SAP Customization (Activating EHP4 Business node for Electronic signature for PM Order) which is at the combination of PM Order type and Planning Plant - But this will be for PM Order operation confirmation though it will check at the time of doing TECO of PM Order.
It can be achieved using enhancement - by calling the gigital signature screen in PM Order TECO exit.
I already tried the same using the enhancement by creating new screen and checking the signature password while doing PM Order TECO.
I hope this will help you.

Rahul

Adding a digital signature to a form

Hi all,
I'm new adobe designer and have been tasked with creating an on-line registration form. So far I have been able to add all the fields and such for users to enter their information.
I have read through the forums and found out how to add little bits of javascript and stuff to the forms too.
At the moment I have a four page form with stacks of questions.
There is a question I have on there that is a check box with the usual "I accept the terms, blah, blah" on it and I need that field to act as a digital signature, or if not that, apply a signature to the form when the submit button is hit.
At the moment I have regular button as the submit button as I needed to be able to change the body and subject of the email at run-time and could only get it to work through javascript at run-time.
If anyone knows how to get this to work, I'd appreciate the help as I have no idea what I'm doing!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
It depends on where you placed the script, probably best place is the exit event.
if (this.rawValue != null || this.rawValue != "")
this.access = "readOnly";
else
this.access = "open";
This will only lock the field that the script is inside.
You should check out Paul's example LockAllFields, which contains a function in a script object. While Paul calls this from a click event in a button, you could call it fromthe exit event of the particular text field.

Adding a digital Signature in Acrobat X Pro

A recent update seems to have altered the digital signature. Before there was no problem and I used the signature I created in Acrobat 9 after upgrading to X Pro. But yesterday (after the update) I was asked for a password for the first time. Eventually I deleted the ID and tried to create a new on but cannot. I follow the steps - a new ID, then a new PKCS#12 file; I fil lin the details requested then on the next page it asks for a file location and password. I accept the default location and type in a password but after the enter I get a message that the passwords do not match.
How do I sole this or am I doing something wrong?

Do you enter the password twice? People have reported that the second password field isn't visible when using a low resolution screen.

Creating Documents to Support Multiple Digital Signatures

I am currently working on creating a paperless business process utilizing Adobe Acrobat's Digital Signature Feature. However, I'm having a lot of problems utilizing it.
Can somebody please explain the entire process from document creation in Word to creating the digital signature fields to distributing the document and receiving signed versions back?
Also, how can I enable this feature so coworkers with Adobe Reader can sign and send back to me?
Thank you very much,
Jeff

A tip: if you want "multiple signatures" to mirror a paper workflow
where someone signs a document in more than one place, this does not
fly in PDF. In PDF, a person does not sign the same document more than
once (except perhaps to countersign after they signed, then someone
else changed).
Also bear in mind that if you have the idea that you will send out a
document, that it will be signed separately by multiple people, then
you will merge the signatures back into a single document, that this
flies even less well.

How can I create a form requesting a digital signature at the end?

I'm looking to create a form for a meeting that allows attendees to fill out their address and pertinent information as an agreement and at the conclusion of the form give them the option to sign electronically/digitally.
How can I do this? Is Adobe Forms the best program for this?

Hi,
Unfortunately, digital signatures are not supported in Adobe FormsCentral.
In order to collect signatures from the attendees, you can either use Adobe EchoSign to collect electronic signatures or Adobe Acrobat to get the documents digitally signed.
Please follow the links to know more about the services:-

How to deal with digital signatures when converting messages?

Hi there,
this it not (yet) about the actual implementation. It's more of a logical problem that I'm facing.
There are two partners A and B. A is sending an EDIFACT document which is digitally signed to B.
B has a XI instance that is converting all incoming messages into IDocs, in this particular case INVOIC. This IDoc is received by the R/3 system.
All invoices must be archived due to an eventual tax inspection.
In order to fulfill the security requirements all archived data must be digitally signed.
So far so good.
I guess I'm not allowed to sign my invoices with my own private key due to the fact that i could alter the containing data and sign it again.
It's obvious that I cant apply the digital signature from the EDIFACT message to my IDoc because the data has changed and therefore the signature is invalid.
The only solution to this problem, that I can imagine, is to archive EDIFACT alongside IDoc.
Have you experienced a similar problem or do you have any other idea in order to solve this issue?
I hope my problem is well defined.
Any comment is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Bastian Stratmann

Hi Bastian,
it is not possible to separate the signature from the document signed.
The system A generates and EDIFACT message -> A has the responsibility on this message and so A sign it.
XI manipulate the message received from A, that means XI generates a new message. -> XI has the responsibility on it, so if you want a signature this should be generated by XI.
As the IDoc was generated by XI it cannot be signed by A (neither technically nor logically) because A has no responsibility on it.
XI <b>is</b> altering the message so XI is responsible for it.
In this case you have to store both the EDIFACT message and the IDOC and maybe sign this new document (EDIFACT+IDOC) with XI signature .
Kind Regards,
Sergio

How do I retain digital signatures when merging documents?

We digitallty sign invoices, but when we merge them with the copies of the checks, the digital signatures are removed. Is there any way to retain those signatures in the merging process?

One really crucial thing to "get" right at the start of working with PDFs and digital signatures is this: what is signed is not a page, but a document. This can be painful when trying to convert a paper workflow based on signing pages. But the signature is giving the authenticity of the whole of the PDF. This is, in fact, a key reason why portfolios were invented.

Validating Digital Signatures when they come back to you.

Ok so I've sent out some forms & have received them back
Now it seems that I must "Validate" every signature?
Is that correct?
What does that mean exactly? That I went throught the form & verified all of the information was correct?
Is there anything specific I should be looking for or changing the settings to when I'm trying to validate digital signatures?

First, you need to view the signature to see if it was issued by a trusted source (like Verisign or Microsoft). If a trusted source was used, then it is valid.
More info on digital signatures can be found at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA012308751033.aspx

Signing a PDF on the iPad, then adding a digital signature

Hello,
I'd like to create a form (in, say, Acrobat XI) and distribute it to salespeople travelling. I want them to fill out the fields, and have the customer sign on screen. This all works great -- question is, can they then digitally sign the document somehow, so both them and the client have a digitally signed copy, rather than just a PDF each side can claim is fake?
Thanks,
-- D

The electronic signatures in the mobile Reader for iOS are considered wet signatures and they don't provide validation. However, if you need validation, I would suggestion looking at the EchoSign for iOS app because it can provide a secure signing process with key authentication and privacy, fraud protection and consumer disclosure.

Firefox when downloaded has invalid digital signature when i try to run programe, the when i run it "curupt file" shows and nothing

It dosent just happen when i try downloading firefox, it happens with every program i try to download and open

Hi,
2 things:
1. Assuming your script is original - it is not asking for a TXT file till it is found in expected location. You can choose between 2 solutions:
to remove FindChangeList.txt from FindChangeSupport folder ==> script will ask for another file
to override this file by your query ==> script will not ask but execute your query
2. You can see greyed TXT files in Script Panel since this panel shows executable files (script's formats)

Embedding Documents and Adding Digital Signatures

I have the following two questions regarding Adobe Acrobat XI pdf fillable forms that I can't find in the manual:
Embed supporting documentation and/or copy and paste information within the form
Allow digital signatures to be saved within the electronic version of the form
I would appreciate any feedback available.
Thanks!

Digital signatures and combining PDFs in Acrobat X

I hope that one of you Acrobat gurus can help me out with one or more of these questions:
Is it possible to maintain digital signatures when inserting signed PDFs into another PDF?
Is it possible to remove a digital signature after a signature has been deleted from the page?
Is it possible to change the format of the date and time on a digital signature?

In the simplest sense a digital signature is a special checksum of all the bytes in the bytes in the PDF combined with all the bytes in the digital signature. If the document is changed in any way the checksum changes, so the signature becomes invalid. A valid signature ensures that the document hasn't changed since the signature was applied. That stuff that's shown on the signature field is irrelevant. It's just a pretty picture. The real stuff is going on inside the PDF where you can't see it.
Obviously it gets a lot more complext then this. The signature can be selectively applied so that the certain types of changes are allowed. A signature does not add real protection to a PDF, but Acrobat plays along with this scheme by trying to not allow changes that would invalidate the signature, and logging all modifications to the PDF.
1) There are ways to maintain the visual appearance of the signature on the page. If the permissions have been set to allow it the PDF can be flattened, which also partially removes much of the stuff that's going on internally. But this isn't always possible. I had to solve this problem once for a client, so I wrote a plug-in that strips the signature permissions from the PDF (I'll post this to www.pdfscripting.com sometime soon), after which the the PDF can be flattened, keeping the appearance. But of course, after this point the document has to be considered invalid. For example, if the document was a contract, the flattened version would be good for use in an analysis of say all contracts for a particular year, or for copying legal language to another contract, but it couldn't be used as the basis of a legal dispute.
2) I don't understand this one. Do you mean you're deleting the signature field and some of the internal digital signature stuff is still hanging around causing problems? If you own the signature (or the permissions allow), then a standard form reset will "Un-Sign" the PDF. Inserting PDF pages into another PDF will strip out all this info as well.
3) The stamp appearance is set at the time the stamp is applied, it cannot be changed after this point. It's a lot like a PDF stamp.

Digital Signature and workflow functionality in Enh Pack

We are working in ECC 6.0 environment. Recentaly we have activated Enh Pack 3 and 4 in our system. After that I can couple of additional QM functionality in system. SAP has provided few more settings in SPRO to activate digital signature in QN and workflow in standard peace.
I would be wonder if anyone has used those function in standard system without any custom development.
How can we use/ activate those (digital signature for QN and workflow) functionality? Reply appreciated.

SAP IMG > Quality Management> Quality Notifications> Notification processing> Specify Digital Signature
Give details like
Level -Header /Task Notification Type
Business
   Transaction
Signature Type
Strategy
Enter the Business Transaction: like PMM2 for Put notification in process,PMM4 for Complete notification,     QN40 for Release Task etc
Depending on your configuration systems asks for digital signature when you set header level status or Task level status
Means if u set Digital signature for PMM2 for Put notification in process system prompts for Digital siganture.

Reg: digital signature creation

Hi,
i have created interactive form and in that placed a signature element. when i test the apllication, it displays a pdf that i wanted to sign using a digital signature. when i click signature element it displays a popup with signautres.
my question is where should i create signatures and how could i do that.
please do the needful
thanks
vinod

I would have to see all of the code to have a better idea what the problem is. My guess though is that you are not adding the SignatureProperties in the right location in the XMLSignature or you are not specifying the xmldsig namespace when you create the elements and the implementation throws an exception because of that. You may want to use the XMLObject and SignatureProperies API instead to add the properties. Also, I did notice in the code that you are using an object named signatureDocument to add the signature properties but then an object named signatureDoc to unmarshal the signature. I wonder if this is a typo or what is the difference between these objects?
