Is the digital signature conserved from a signed .docx converted to .pdf ?

Hi!
I would like to know, before purchase or even try Acrobat XI Pro, the folowing question:
If I sign a Microsoft Word (2010) .docx, and then I convert it to Adobe .pdf with Acrobat XI Pro; is my digital signature yet considered always as a signature, or have I to re-sign it in Acrobat ?
(I think it should have to be conserved, to be really a signature, but am not sure about the technical apsects.)
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Ok, Thank you a lot, Test Screen Name !
Yes, I was actually considering the case of a really digital signature (not only a scribble), of course.
So I understand that the digital signature is not conserved as such trough this conversion.
I am french speaking, and I took a moment to understand you second paragraph... which seems to be obvious enought, indeed:
Yes it would be useful to recognize the signature form a Word converted to a Pdf, but it could mean that, if the signature is identified as such - I was no thinking about to get back the signature separately -, a simple conversion of a .docx in .pdf would be an alteration of data integrity (so, not anymore data intergrity could be garanted).
It was clear for me that a signature meant more or less explicitely, that the file could not be modified. But I was very innocent to consider a file only for its "visible characters", rather than the file format, which is also a part of data integrity - of course...
Allright, your answered perfectly to my question, I'll vote for you, as helpful, and correct.
Tank you one more time !

We are patching around a dozen servers (all SPARC, versions 8, 9 and 10) and these are the only 2 with problems.

Smpatch PatchPro failed: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature

Hello,
I 'm trying to update solaris 9 (5.9 Generic_118558-03 sun4u sparc) using smpatch.
I get the following error from all - to be installed - patches!!
Downloading the required patches for machine "xxx". Please wait...
Error: PatchPro failed: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).
/var/sadm/spool/112941-10.jar.tmp cannot be validated.
I have read that you need to install patchid 112945-44 so i have installed it with no solution.
I have cleared the /var/tmp/patches/ directory:
# rm /var/tmp/patches/*.jar.tmp
# rm /var/sadm/spool/*.jar
I would be grateful if you reply me with any help.
Thanks,

I thought this solution:
To download signed patch 112945-45 and:
# mv 112945-45.jar /var/sadm/spool/
# smpatch add -i 112945-45

WS-Security: Error while valdiating the digital signature

Hi
We are getting an exception (in the J2EE logs) when an external party calls our SOAP webservice with WS-Security. We are using their public certificate to verify their signature (self signed certificate). Their SOAP Security header looks correct - below is the error in the J2EE logs.
VerifyException. Key: 0200
[EXCEPTION]
com.sap.security.core.policy.exceptions.VerifyException: [_policy0200] Error while valdiating the digital signature. The error was java.lang.NullPointerException null.
at com.sap.security.core.securitypolicy.assertions.IntegrityAssertion.verify(IntegrityAssertion.java:376)
at com.sap.security.core.policy.expressions.AllExpression.verify(AllExpression.java:149)
at com.sap.security.core.policy.WSPolicy.verify(WSPolicy.java:43)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "external party" and "self signed certificate" in this context?
A 3rd party vendor or customer is giving you their server's "self signed" certificate to use publicly?
Apart from this being more prone to admin errors than server certificates already are, I hope that they trust you...
Cheers,
Julius

Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. Code 52

Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52).
I have reinstalled, uninstalled, the whole 9 yards.

See the driver topic of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Please help me with the digital signature validation problem?

Hide the Save As dialog in the digital signature process

Hi!
I'm searching for a way to hide the Save As dialog when digitally signing a pdf document (embedded in a website) and instead transmit the signed document back to the website without saving it locally.
(The reason for doing this is, that I can not be sure whether the user is capable of storing the signed document locally, recover it and send it back to the server.)
In the "Adobe Acrobat SDK - Developing Plug-ins and Application" documentation under "Digital signature extended API", "Understanding the process" is stated that the digital signature plug-in displays the Save As dialog box. But it's not clear to me whether there is a way to suppress it and instead call some custom code to send the document to a webservice or something like that. (btw: I'm new to the acrobat sdk api)
Could someone be a bit more specific about this?
Are there other ways to achieve my aims?
(To use submit buttons inside the document is not an option.)
Thanks and kind regards
Marcel

Hi Leonard
I'll try to explain in more detail what I'd like to do. :)
Preconditions:
- I have no controle over the forms.
- I need to build a website hosting PDF documents for clients.
- The client needs to be able to access these docs and digitally sign them.
- When the client signs them, they should be stored on the website (overwrite the unsigned ones).
Problem:
The whole process should be as simple as possible for the client. Therefore he should not have to manually download the docs, sign them and manually upload them to the website.
Possible solution:
The client selects a document to sign which is then opened inside the website (aspx / custom control) by the Adobe Reader browser plug-in.
Now, when the client signs the document I would like to catch the "Save as" dialog and instead call some custom routine to send the signed document back to the website (webservice).
As I see it:
We would have to write a Reader plug-in that would be started when the browser-plugin is called and could be passed the address of the webservice (to send the signed PDF). Maybe the address passing could be done by javascript, but the handling of the "Save as" dialog would probably have to be handled by a custom plug-in.
My question:
Is there any way to accomplish the above (if yes, how?), or are these things that are just not possible (why? ;)?
I hope this helps to clear up things a little...
Thanks for any help!
Marcel

Is there a script for making a digital signature read-only after signing?

When the user signs a PDF Form, the user can clear his own signature. I want to disable the "Clear Signature" feature. I noticed I can run a Javascript in the digital signature's property. Is it possible to execute a Javascript to make just that signature Read-only?
Thanks.

If the person who signed the document has Acrobat Pro, you could use the flattenPages() method, which lets you specify the page(s) to be flattened.
For example:
this.flattenPages(0) //flattens page 1
this.flattenPages(0, 2) //flattens pages 1 - 3
But if they have only Reader, they can't use flattenPages().

Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right

Acrobat 9 Standard is apparently able to apply certain usage rights to a document. I am trying to confirm whether or not the digital signature usage right is included. The
Acrobat 9 product comparison seems to indicate it is not, but the online help implies that it is.
Can someone with Acrobat 9 Standard confirm this for me by testing a document that you've enabled for use with Reader by attempting to sign a digital signature field with Reader?
George

In the office area, the Pro version might be good to have for the forms and other features. For the general library, Reader is probably adequate. Actually allowing PDF creation on public machines can be an issue. In a small libary system, Acrobat might be reasonable where you do not have to deal with a large, diverse population. However, for basic PDF creation, only Std is needed. Having both AA8 and AA9 on the same machine can lead to problems. However, if you remove one, you will likely have to repair the other.
The problem with older versions is that they may not properly read some of the newer PDFs that might be downloaded. For the latter, you could install the latest version of Reader, but you need to be aware that you may have to deal with issues of right clicking (windows) on a file and selecting which application to open a PDF with. For forms and some editing, the Pro version would be good to have. You also have PDF Optimize and PreFlight with the Pro version that generally are not including in the Std version.
To help compatibility with the files you create, you can select Start>Printers>Adobe PDF preferences (right click on printer). In the settings tab>Default settings> select at least Std or better Press or Print and then push edit. Under the general tab select the compatibility and set it to AA8 so that every thing is compatibile with the oldest version of Acrobat you have.
If you have more than one computer in the office, you might consider having AA8 on one and AA9 on the other. Do check and be sure you have licenses for whatever you have and that someone has not come in and installed a pirated version. Also be sure you keep the original CDs and licenses (or if they were downloaded, burn the downloaded version to a CD as an archive and write the SN on the label).
Now that I have confused you, are there more questions?

HT1338 I'm trying to sync a new iphone 5 but my mac says it cant download any updates to itunes as the digital signature is damaged. What can I do to rectify this?

I'm trying to sync a new iphone 5 with my older mac, but have spent 2 days waiting for system updates to be told the digital signature is damaged.
what can I do to fix, or upgrade this?

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

What is the certification authority, the third party that can confirm the digital signature?

I created a nice electronic signature, that I now regularly use and add to every document. I was told that a signature needs to be issued by a verification authority, a third party that is able to verify the signature, certificate. I created a free certificate at CAcert.org and tried to combine it with the adobe signature certificate file, but it doesnt support .cer and .crt files. Is the Adobe the certification authority in this case since i created signature in the Adobe software? Its not a big deal, I just want everything to be correct since I use the signature in official documents now (instead of scanning a signed document) ... Thanks for any info, ideas or help.

Each Digital Certificate has a pair of private and public keys used for encryption/decryption. The private key belongs to the certificate owner and should be kept secret. It is protected by a password. The public key can be used by anyone. Digital certificates come in two flavors: one that contains both private and public key and one that contains only public key.
When you create a digital signature the signing process uses the private key to encrypt the signed content digest and the public key is used to decrypt it. So, only you can encrypt signed content with your certificate that has both private and private keys and anyone can decrypt it to validate the signature using certificate that has only public key. Usually, this certificate with the public key only is embedded in the digital signature, so that anyone can use it for decryption.
The .cer certificate contains only public key. Certificates with both private and public keys usually have extensions .pfx or .p12. You need one of those to sign.
CAcert.org issues only public key certificates. so you cannot use its certificates for digital signing.
Adobe is not a general purpose certification authority. It issues some certificates for internal use only.
Acrobat has a feature that allows you to create so-called self-signed certificates with both private and public keys but these certificates can be used only in a limited way. They do not provide the means to authenticate the real certificate owner nor revoke a certificate if it is stolen.
Generally, a digital signature asserts three main features:
1. Document integrity (document has not been changes since it had been signed),
2. Authentication (the signer is indeed what the certificate says)
3. Non-repudiation (the signature author cannot deny that he signed it: this is achieved via certificate revocation mechanism).
A self-signed certificate (of the type that Acrobat produces) can be used only for #1. It cannot be used for ##2 and 3. The latter two come only when a certificate (with private key) is issued by a reputable Certificate Authority which is trusted (like VeriSign, Symantec, etc.).

The error occurs by correspondence check (WinVerify Trust) of the signature when Windows Installer with the digital signature is executed.

The following errors occur by correspondence check (WinVerify Trust) of the signature when Windows Installer with the digital signature is executed.
"Error 1330. A file that is required cannot be installed because the cabinet file C:\<tool>\Data1.cab has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the cabinet file is corrupt. Error 8230 was returned by WinVerifyTrust."
Please teach the following of Error 8230.
1) Occurrence condition.
2)Approach to avoiding.

So I found my own answer to the issue. The error was being caused by an the following xml in the assertion:
<ds:Reference URI="">
The value of URI attribute must have a '#' followed by the same value of the ID attribute in the parent 'Assertion' element (in our case a random string):
<saml:Assertion xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" ID="a5k42vnhsywezqzyufq15c4bb9xuzeozrmbppj38xe" IssueInstant="2012-03-12T14:33:25.986Z" Version="2.0">
<saml:Issuer>ISSUER_NAME</saml:Issuer>
<ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">
<ds:SignedInfo>
<ds:CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/>
<ds:SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1"/>
*<ds:Reference URI="#a5k42vnhsywezqzyufq15c4bb9xuzeozrmbppj38xe">*
How this is related to the digital signature is beyond me, though I admit I'm very new to saml and digital signing. However I spent a great deal of time investigating my certs and how I was creating the signature, which it seems is unrelated to the actual issue. I also wasn't able to find any docs specifying that this attribute was required, though I might have just missed it.

Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
Good Luck!

Is the digital signature conserved from a signed .docx converted to .pdf ?
