Is there a script to add to a form in LiveCycle to disable digital stamp editing in Adobe Reader

I work for a state Agency and we want to use digital stamps as our signatures on our internal documents. I have created the form in LiveCycle and I know that in Adobe Reader by default the stamp will use the person's sign on ID for the stamp and then the person adds their name and other information.
However, if the person right clicks the stamp, and edits the Identity and puts in another sign on ID number, such as their supervisor's and stamps the document, there is no way to tell that both of those stamps, with different sign on IDs and names, were created by the same person.
If there is a script I can enter in LiveCycle, that when the form is opened in Adobe Reader, that would lock the Identity field of a stamp created in Adobe Reader from allowing a change to the sign on ID, then that would solve our problem and maybe the problem for other state agencies wanting to follow suit.
The digital signatures are even worse. I made one in my name, my supervisor's name and my dog's name, attached them all to a document, validated all the signatures and they look absolutely authentic. Why would Adobe make digital signatures like that? If we could just find some evidence within the data showing that all the signatures were applied by the same person or on the same computer, then we could use them. But the stamps at least grab that unique sign on number that we use and applies it to the stamp if the user doesn't alter it.
I'm on a time crunch as we hoped to launch this after the first of the year but our attorneys are saying, "uh, uh" until something can be done to prevent fraud. We have over 3,000 people in our agency so EchoSign would be out of the question.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Maybe some sort of "get identity" or something. We just need to be able to prove who put the stamp on the document.

  • Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

    I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again. 
    Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?

  • Script to add a new page in LiveCycle

    I am new to LiveCycle so please forgive my ignorance. I have 2 things I am trying to do.
    1. In my fillable form, I want to have default text in the the form field that appears in light gray and disappears automatically when a user clicks in the field to enter text. I know how to add a default but then my user would have to erase the default to add their own information. I don't know if this is an easy thing or if it needs scripting.
    2. I created a button and I want to add JavaScript to it to have it copy the second page of my form and add it as a third page to be filled out too. I don't want to send a form with a bunch of extra pages so I want my users to create new pages as necessary. I know how to view the script editor and I added some script, but it doesn't appear to be correct as I don't get the green or red icons to attach the script to the button and when previewed, the button does nothing. I chose on Click and I understand that the script creates a path to my object with a period in between each object, but I don't understand after the instanceManager.addInstance(true) what I should put. What does the "true" part mean. I thought that I would put the name of the object that I wanted added. Am I close to doing this right or is it much more complicated? Does my button have to be in a subform with the objects or something to work? Am I trying to do something that is possible?
    I wish I could printscreen to this forum.

    For each of the fields that you like to have default value displayed and get cleaned on entry you can have following JS script in "enter" event....
    if (this.rawValue == "<default value for that particular field>") {
         this.rawValue = ""
    and for "exit" event....
    if (this.isNull) {
         this.rawValue = "<default value for that particular field>"
    Hope tha helps with the first issue....
    And with the second question you had....yes it is some thing that can be done with few tricks and little script.
    Your button does not need to be part of that subform...and noting wrong even if it is.
    instanceManager.addInstance(true)     //true is part of syntax however following example can give you better idea
    _secondPageSubForm.addInstance(true) is what you would use in "click" event of the button where "secondPageSubForm" is your subform name to repeat and designed to fit entire page so you can continue adding entire page rather than part of page. And "_" (Underscore) is part of the syntax to recognize the repeating subform.
    And to whole thing work as expected you need to save/render PDF as Dynamic template and set your "secondPageSubForm" as repeating in "Binding" tab.
    Hope that helps, Good Luck,

  • Would it be possible to add "creative cloud" as a source - and save place - for the Android Adobe Reader?

    Being a CC customer, I'd really like to keep some of my most used forms on my CC cloud. These are forms that I regularly need to update data in, while in the field, and using my android tablet (instead of my laptop) for this purpose would be extremely helpful.

    Thanks for your valuable feedback , we will try to address it in one of our future releases.

    You will not get what you need using stamps, especially if you ever want to use dynamic XFA forms.
    The digital signatures that were signed with a self-signed digital ID won't fully validate unless the user chooses to trust the corresponding digital certificate first. You should only trust a digital certificate if you trust its source. The problem is using self-signed IDs will be difficult to use on the scale you're talking about.
    Digital signatures are the best approach for your needs. They can provide both nonrepudiation of document origin as well as document integrity. You just have to figure out how to implement a solution you can afford.
    You agency can become its own certificate authority and issue certificates to its employees. You'd just have to find a way to implement and manage such a system.

  • How can I script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#?

    I would like to script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#, are there any Adobe API calls I use to do this.  There are several different version that I support and auto update is not an option. I do updates at a specific time of the month. I would like to write a script that would download and install the update for the currently installed version of Adobe Reader (32 or 64 bit) for the version of the OS (32 or 64bit). I can detect the OS version and the Adobe version.  I can download updates but I do not want to hard code anything

    Sabian is correct.
    Most admins download the updates from the ftp site and push via AIP, GPO, SCCM, or some other method whenever it makes sense for them.

  • Adobe Reader bypasses "secure print" settings when printing from IE add-on

    We have the IE add-on for Adobe Reader enabled (Internet Explorer 9), and we've found that for some people this is causing PDFs to get printed without the "secure print" option, even though the print dialog shows it. Our printer settings all have the setting enabled for "secure print", which requires you to enter a PIN on the printer before the print job will be released. When printing PDFs from Adobe Reader (currently 11.0.3, but I couldn't see anything in the release notes for .4, .5. or .6 that are relevant) outside of IE, secure print works fine, but when it's opened within the Adobe Reader plugin for IE, the secure print setting is enabled but the print job gets sent to the printer without the PIN requirement... somehow.
    I'm completely stumped by it, and didn't even believe it until I saw it myself.
    Does anyone know what might be working differently when a PDF is printed from the add-on than when it's printed by a 'full' instance of Adobe Reader?
    On an affected PC, if you disable the add-on, the PDF opens in that full instance and works normally, so it's very definitely related (somehow) to the add-on specifically.

    Hey,
    I have been advised against monitor calibration, and I'm assuming if all of my other products have come back correct in terms of colour I see on screen that it should be ok?
    the person that told me about the Adobe workspace has the same printer, but she works in Photoshop, and had someone set it up for her. She tried to help over phone, but is difficult as we have different versions of Adobe software, and it was a while since she had it done.
    My workspace is currently in RGB, so would you suggest working in CMYK?
    If I have my workspace set to Adobe RGB (1998) should I then be changing my printer profile to the same one?
    I've attached the colour setting screen shot, I've not done anything to change this.
    I think I need the setting on bottom image set to 'colour sync' is that right?
    I'm also not sure about the relative colourimetric option. When at art college, I was always told to print in perceptual, but not sure which is best option here.

  • Why Won't Adobe Reader Find Items in a Document That Are Clearly There?

    I performed a regular and advanced search of a document for words that I knew were there and Adobe Reader told me that they were not there. I was looking at one instance of the item that I searched for and Adobe Reader told me that it wasn't there but I was looking directly at one place where the words I am searching are located. Adobe Reader tells me that it is not in the document ANYWHERE, which is a lie because I can read and the words for which I searched are there at least once but Adobe Reader tells me that the words for which I am searching are not in the document at all. This isn't the first time that this exact thing has happened to me with Adobe Reader, I am simply tired of taking extra time out of my day to search a document manually when there are supposed to be tools to do that for me. Sorry for repeating my problem twice but I am frustrated and I want to make myself ABUNDANTLY clear. Can anyone help me?

    It all depends on how the PDF was created. One reason text isn't found is because there isn't any text, just an image of text. This will happen with a scanned document that hasn't been OCRed. Another reason is when a font's Unicode mapping table in the PDF are missing or corrupted, which breaks the link between a glyph and its corresponding character code. In short, there is no association between a glyph that looks like an "A" with the letter "A" that you type. If you could post a link to a sample document, we could tell for sure what the problem is.

    Is it possible to add the "advanced search' button the navigation pane (left hand column in Adobe Reader XI)? If yes, how is this done?
    Regards
    Andrew

    Thanks for your response.
    May you can forward this as to whoever looks after improving the Adobe product. It would be very useful to have it available on the navigation pane. At the moment the 'advanced search' feature opens up outside the PDF and is a pain to use.

  • Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Hi Emily ,
    You may face challenges doing this task in Acrobat .
    If you have created the PDF from word ,I would recommend doing the page numbering in Word, not Acrobat, since you have more flexibility with that program.
    Or the second option is ,if you know how to play around with java script.Here is the code for the same.
    Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
    event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
    Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
    function romanize(num) {
        if (!+num)
            return false;
        var digits = String(+num).split(""),
            key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
                   "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
                   "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
            roman = "",
            i = 3;
        while (i--)
            roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
        return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;

  • Is there a script to...

    Is there a script that could take all the artists in my library beginning with A, assign them to a playlist, then those starting with B to another, and on and on throughout the alphabet?
    I'm trying to use Fetch Art to get art for everything in my library, but I have 21,000+ songs. Applying a script or a program to batch-process even 1000 songs usually makes something crash, so I'm looking for something organized I can do systematically. To find songs without artwork, I use a script from doug's applescript.
    Any advice? Let me know if I need to be more detailed...
    Thanks!
    Alec

    Or make 26 smart playlists with the condition "Artist begins with [a-z]" with live updating. That way, whenever you add tracks they will automatically go to the appropriate playlist. You would also need a catchall playlist for any artists that might start with a number or special character.
