JavaScript for completely locking pdf after digitally signing

I currently use both Abobe Acrobat XI and Livecycle Designer ES4.
When i want to add the option to completely lock down a document after digitally signing (inc disabling of the 'clear signature' option) i execute javascript within the properties of the digital signature which works fine no problem.
Im lead to believe that Livecycle will remove any scripting from a pdf created within acrobat as it uses its own flavour so to speak.
My question is, does anybody know what the Livecycle equivalent is to have the option of locking after signing (as image) and disable the 'clear signature' feature post signing?
Any feedbcak is appreciated.

Not sure where your pic is from. But in LC Designer you can specify what you want locked after signing.

Locking a field after digitally signed

I am working on a monthly document. When the user selects a value from a dropdown field, there is a signature box below it. Is there a way to lock that dropdown field after the corresponding signature box is digitally signed?

The user can choose to lock the entire document (if it's the last signature), or you can set up the signature field so that other fields are locked by making them read-only when it is signed. See the Signed tab or the digital signature field's Properties dialog to see where you can do this.

PDF document - digital sign

Hello,
I would like to ask you, what I need to digital sign (with certificate of course) the PDF document. Now we have only Acrobat Reader and I heard, that there are some possibilities to sign PDF document in this software. But I'm not sure how to do this. Or do I need a full version (ie Standard) of Acrobat? And what in case of scanned document in PDF format?
Thank very much for reply
BoBik

OK, thanks for reply. If I understand it well, I need to enable it for each document separately?
And what about scanned documents? When i I buy i.e. Adobe Acrobat Standard - will I be able to sign this files?

Export Page as PDF after Digital Signature

Hi there!
I'm looking for a script that will export the page that is being signed (Page 2 of an 85 page document) after it is digitally signed.
Thanks!

Oh really? That's so odd! I can set up a button that extracts the page with an inputted signature, but I suppose that since that will be digitally signed, it will not work that way?
What I'm thinking is that when I digitally sign the document, it saves a new version of it that IS signed. I'm hoping to do that for just that exact page and not the entire document.

Once a PDF is digitally signed, how to I disable the "Clear signature" option? I cannot allow appli

I need to set up digital signatures for a number of documents, but once signed, the signatures must be permenant. Currently the owner has the option (right clicking on the signature), to "clear signature" - how do I disable this?
Thanks in advance!

The point is that this is trivial to achieve for anyone, even if the file is locked after signing.
They just need to keep a copy of the unsigned file, delete the signed one, and replace it with the unsigned file. So such protection means nothing.
Repudiating signatures is a very bad thing, but it can only have real meaning if someone or some process knew about the signing. Otherwise, it's like someone signing a piece of paper, and destroying their signed copy without showing it to anyone; it's as if it never happened, and nothing was gained. If on the other hand a person has received the signed file, or a process has securely archived it, then removing a signature has no repudiating effect on the copy.
It can be hard to convert paper-based to electronic-based workflows where files can be freely duplicated, shared etc.
Clearly, though, if a person can sign a file, then others can act on that signature, and then the signer can still edit the original signed file, there is a big problem, not just of repudiation but of auditability.

Email submit button doesn't work after digitally signing document

I have a PDF fillable form that works great except for the digital signature fields. Every employee needs to fill it out, sign it, hit the email submit button to faward it to the boss, who then signs it and saves it. There are two digital signature fields that need to be signed by different people. If the employee fills out all of the fields and then hits the email submit button, everything works as it should. However, if they sign it digitally like we need them to and then press the email submit button, nothing happens. It's like the button is no longer interactive at all. The mouse doesn't even change anymore when hovering over it. How can I fix this?

When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message.

Marking Fields as Read-Only After Digitally Signing Issues

I am creating a PDF form that contains several digital signatures. I am selecting a signatures and am in the property options for that specific signature looking at the "Signed" tab. I select, Mark as read only, than choose "Just these Fields.
When I select "pick" a new box opens that lists all the fields in my form with a check box next to each. It appears that I can select the fields I want to mark as read only, however, when I attempt to check a box, nothing. I can select "select all" and all the firlds become checked, but I cannot check individual fields.
Any thought on what might be going on?

Hi Thomas,
Any chance you could share the PDF file if I gave you an e-mail address?

IMac completely locked up after last update

I have an iMac i5 from about 2010, I think it was the last iMac that was made without a Thunderbolt port. It has been running kind of "hinky" for several months now. I installed Yosemite on it after that, and it seemed to help. After the last update, which was installed today, it is completely unusable. It boots up and takes several minutes to do it, and I can log in a user, but when it finally gets to the main screen I can't do anything. Any time I move the cursor over either the top bar or try to bring up the bar from the bottom of the screen, I get the Rainbow Pinwheel of Death. That also happens whenever I click the mouse. About 20 seconds after that the screen blinks black, comes back up without the top bar, blinks black again about ten seconds later, and comes back up with the top bar. If I move the mouse or click the mouse, I get the pinwheel. I'm watching it while I type this on my other iMac (newer), and about every minute the screen goes black for anywhere from a few seconds to half a minute, then comes back up, usually with the Pinwheel of Death where the cursor is on the screen. I can hear the hard drive working almost constantly.
Prior to this the computer had been very slow, with the hard drive working a lot and taking several seconds to perform functions that it previously performed instantly. About a year ago I got that stupid pop-up with Obama's picture on it where some scammers try to take over your computer, but from what I hear that doesn't work with Macs. I immediately deleted the account and that seemed to help. After that I installed ESET for Macs, and yes, I've heard that it doesn't really do anything and I should remove it, but I've also heard contrary opinions on that.
I've asked questions on forums about the computer being slow, but no suggestions seem to help. Now I can't perform any functions at all. Can an iMac be brought up in Safe Mode, like a windows machine? Please help. While this is not my main computer anymore, there's still a lot of functions I use it for and it is critical to my business.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on
      the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that was installed on the machine.

HP L7780 Completely locks up after new router installed - MAC

I had to replace a Linksys router WRT54G with a newer model WRT1900AC Dual Band. The printer was working fine with the old router. Now I use the Wireless Wizard to set up the new router and it locks up. The only way to "free" it up is to turn the router off and turn the printer off, then turn the printer back on and turn the wireless radio off. I am using a Mac running OSX 10.8.5. I see in other forums to update firmware but that appears only to be on the windows side.
Any help is appreciated. I spent a lot of money on this printer to have to junk it.
Thanks!

Hello @3408RaissaS,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when attempting to configure wireless on your HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One Printer with your new wireless router. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
Now, due to the age of your printer there is no Firmware Updates available for your model of printer on your Operating System. Therefore, this will not be an option for your specific unit.
Because the printer worked wirelessly with your old router we know that the wireless card within your printer is functioning. Therefore, there may be a setting within the router that needs to be adjusted to allow for your HP Officejet to connect and communicate wirelessly.
Just to confirm, at which point does the printer freeze up (after you select your network name, enter your password, or when it tries to connect to the network)?
Because you're now using a dual band router it is crucial that you are connecting your printer to the 2ghz band. Printers are not supported on 5ghz connections. This means that the computers that you want to use wirelessly with your printer must also be connected to the 2ghz band. If you're not sure how to check what band you're connecting to, you may need to speak with the router manufacturer.
Please respond to this post with the answer to my question above. Once I have a bit more detail I will be happy to guide you towards a fix. I look forward to hearing from you!

Itunes for mac locks up after connecting device for sync

iTunes (11.2.2) locks up when I connect a device (iphone/ipad). I force quit the app and restarted to no avail. I have reinstalled the same version of iTunes, but the problem continues. Any ideas?
Steve Brown

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Cannot save file after it is digitally signed

Hello, I work for the IT Dept at my company and one of our employees is having trouble saving PDF files after digitally signing them. He received the error message:
The document could not be saved. Can not save to this file name. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
After each signature, Acrobat asks to save the file, which he does. The strange thing is that he may sign the same document 4 times, and the error might only occur on the last attempt to save. It will successfully perform it the first three times. I cannot find a pattern to the errors. The times he gets the error messages don't necessarily all happen on the last attempt, it might be the first or the middle. I have tried updating the program and searching around through the options to find any setting which may be applicable, but have had no luck. I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and I can't make any progress.
Does anyone eles have this problem or have a solution?

I don't have an answer as I have never seen the problem. However, for those that might be able to answer the question they will likely want to replicate the problem. It would be helpful to know what OS (and if 32 or 64-bit) and what version (include subversion) of Acrobat -- latest 10.1.4. If you can create a sample document that has the problem, then folks may have an easier time to repeat it. A document can be posted either at one of your sites, Acrobat.com, or maybe dropbox.

In Acrobat XI, how can we have more than 2 people digitally sign a document or template?.

The document is a PDF template with 2 signature fields for approval. When the first person digital signs the document it shows the GREEN tick that it's signed and all signatures are valid. Then it gets emailed for the second person to digitally sign and ofcourse, the document becomes invalid. (We don't want to use the echoSign cloud service and there is no Acrobat server setup). Can someone share the light please?

A PDF Form Template will try an execute an action to create a new page based on the template page. This action will break the first signature because it changes the document by adding a new page after it has been signed. Is it imperative that the document be a PDF Form Template? If all that is called for is two signatures then create the document with two signature fields and without it being a PDF Form Template.
