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().

Making Multiple Digital Signatures Read-only in Form (Acrobat 9)

I have created a form which includes two (2) digital signature fields. What needs to occur with the form is Person1 fills the form and then digitally signs it thereby making the form fields read-only . Person2 then digitally signs the form which should make Person1's digital signature read-only.
Here's what I've done:
1) For the Person1 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields except these> and selected the Person2 digital signature field.
2) For the Person2 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields> since once Person2 signs the form I do not want Person1 to be able to clear the digital signature and make changes to the form.
Here's what actually occurs:
Step 1 above works fine. Once the signature is applied all the form fields are read-only except for the Person2 digital signature field.
The problem is that after Person2 digitally signs the form, even though I selected all fields as read-only, Person1 can 'clear' their signature which leaves all the form fields available for editing and leaves Person2's digital signature still on the form.
I honestly don't care about 'validating' signatures on this form since it's going to be printed but I cannot allow Person2's signature to remain on the form and allow Person1 to edit the form.

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina file format that does.
But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Is there a script for an audio controller linked to an embedded swf?

Is there a script for an audio player or controller that has some functions like play resume stop for an embedded swf file? I would use buttons for this purpose but for some reason, when I click on the pause button on the pdf, and then click on resume, playback resumes five seconds before the point at which I paused. And i would prefer to rely on just using the built in player in the pdf but the quicktime player doesn't play the swf smoothly; it freezes.

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 !

Is there a way to run a script to remove a digital signature and unlock the fields it locked?

I'm creating a sectioned checklist (In LiveCycle Designer ES2 on a Windows 7 OS) covering a process with four sections to be completed/signed by different individuals. The final section is for a separate party that, if he/she approves the completed work, he/she signs the form and locks it down completely, however, if one particular item is wrong, he/she must return the form to the signer of Section 3.
I've worked with not locking the fields in Section 3 when Signer #3 signs the form and using visible and invisible signature forms (If Signer #4 selects a particular option, I reset the related fields in Section 3, hide the original signature, and show a new, empty signature field), however, if the form has to be returned numerous times, this is not a viable option.
I could include instructions for my end users to remove their own signatures, but some may not be very computer-literate, and this could be difficult. Is there a script I could either connect to a button or some way to reset just one section of the form? Or does anyone have a better idea?
Many thanks in advance!

Bob,
you could put a virtualizer such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop on the external drive, and install Windows and Windows apps in the virtualizer.

Is there a script for renaming layers in ID CS5?

Hello,
I am new to scripting (I just started today) so far I have found some very useful existing scripts to help automate my workflow. I am wondering if anyone knows of the existence of a layer renaming script for InDesign.
I have seen similar scripts for PS. I want to learn how to script but I am in need of this one for Monday...
Thanks in advance!

Antonio:
Please remember that we're all volunteers here. If you can ask your question so we can understand it, we can probably help you. But if you cannot, it would take quite a lot of effort on our part to even determine what you asking.
Jongware wrote in the other thread:
This is quite a specialized case so it's unlikely there "is" a script. But there "could be" one. Ask in the scripting forum, as there are some people in there sharpening their skills with such requests. Make sure to detail what you need it to do: which layers? rename to what? Et cetera.
You're not doing a good job on detail. How would the script know what to change your first, 3rd, 4th, and 5th "atoms" to?
You have given us no information that I can see.

Is there a script for changing layer names in ID CS4?

I have multiple documents with an average of 20 layers in each. Each of the layers is named for the expiration date of the coupon in the ads. When a new order comes in I retrieve the previous files and change the dates via scripts and the Find/Change option. I have looked but cannot find a way to rename the dates in the layers as well.
Does anyone know of a script for this?
Thanks in advance!

Is there a script for scaling multiple precomps?

Hi!
Is there a script or another good way to scale tens of precomps in one go?
I just noticed that I need to "grow bounds" to over 20 compositions in order to be able to use an effect on them. Do I need to manually go inside each precomp and change their comp settings for a bigger size or can this be done faster somehow?
I tried the grow bounds effect, but could not get it to work. What I'm doing is simple: I'm blurring the layers to make them "glow" but for the blur to look nice the layers need to have bigger bounds.
Any help will be appreciated!

I used this After Effects Community Help search for 'script scale multiple compositions' and found this:

Is there a script for dimensioning?

Not just any dimensioning ie: Cadtools,
Is it possible to have "intelligent" dimensioning inside Adobe Illustrator? For example: If I draw a rectangle 4" wide by 2" high, and I stretch it to 6" x 2" is there a way for the 4" dimension to auto-update to 6" without manually overriding the text? Like they do in autoCad. I've been scouring the web for answers with little luck. I even bought CADtools which is great but doesn't provide this option. Any help/suggestions/finger pointing would be greatly appreciated.

Nope. Illustrator (you know...this ostensibly "professional" drawing program) doesn't provide even rudimentary "dumb" dimension tools (just as the program still dosen't even provide live geometric shape primitives like any other drawing program under the sun does).
Cheezy workarounds can be (and have been) devised with scripts to create dumb dimension labels, but updating when objects change really requires special dimension objects. Scripts loose their object-specific references when the script completes, or when the script's palette is closed, unless you code into the script some kind of object labeling, which would become cumbersome real quick.
If it's a frequent need, you need a proper feature for this, and you're just using the wrong program. Use Draw or Canvas. You can probably buy a competitive side-grade to either of those programs for not much more than you pay for an elaborate plug-in, and get alot more value in the deal.

Script for making random thumbnails from single image

Hi all,
I need something like a hundred different thumbnails from each image in a series of images, that is, hundred random sections of the same image, saved in a folder as jpg, and i was hoping that i could find a script for this.
What the script has to do is:
select the size of the crop (this would also be the dimensions of the thumbnail saved)
rotate crop selection in a random orientation and place the crop randomly on the canvas
save the image as a jpg in a folder
return to original image,
repeat process x times before quitting script.
I dont think this should be to difficult to make a script for, but unfortunately i don´t know how to code.
Is there anybody that could help me with this?
This would save me a lot of time!

Script for making soundclips

is there a script anywhere that will automatically make sound clips? Im not a script writer, but it seems pretty simple... stick a disc in, and click a button and it will rip 1 minute second sound clips. It wouldn't start at the beginning, it would start say 25% in to the song to get to the meat of a song, and end 1 minute later.
i manually do this by setting the start / end fields in i-tunes, but surely there is a script out there
any suggestions?
thanks!

Super Slow Shutdown! Is there a script for autoeject?!

I don't know why my MBP 2.2 started doing this recently, but it takes like a minute to shut down.
I've discovered the cause. I have Windows XP installed via Boot Camp and if I eject it before shutting down, shut down usually takes about 5 seconds.
I really don't know how to fix this, especially since I think this may have been caused by 10.5.1, but I want to know:
Is there a way to have all non-Macintosh HDs ejected automatically before shutdown? Is there some sort of command I can throw at Terminal for this?

Making a Digital Signature Form

     Hi, I am brand new to this forum, and thought that I would give it a try. i am running Abobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.
          I have been tasked with making a document that is Digital Signature ready. In other works, I need to figure out how to make a Box, with a little red arrow, where somone runs the mouse pointer over the arrow, and a note comes up that says "To digitally sign, click the arrow".
     Is there someone that might be able to assit me in this request?
     Very Respectfully: Rossknechtt,

                Thank you George. I have made a digital signature field.
          Is it possible to prove guidance as to how I Ioad trusted signatures so the signature warning does not come up? How do I add a date field with a pull down calendar?
Very Respectfully:

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