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.

Lock input-fields on digitally signing the form

Hi,
Is it possible to lock the input-fields once the form has been signed?
Also I want to pass the digital Certificate along with the pdf. How do I do it?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Hello Prasanna,
If i understood your first question correctly, you don't want to allow the changes in the InputField.
Create a context variable type boolean and assign it to readOnly(nameChange) property of input field.
You can change its property in your business logic
like
wdContext.ecurrentContext().setNameChange(true/false).

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.

2.Here u select your document type, to whicch u need Automatic Status Networking.
3.Select define document statuse folder in the same screen. u develop ur document network.
note: when u develope statuse net work, it will always triggers next status. for this next statuse would be change or approve like.
4.Here u will find assigne digital sign field. here acually u enter your digital signaure[name] which u created erliear.
5.save entries.
6.Automatic triggering means u have to set work flow. once a person enters the signature for appropriat status, the doc would triggers next person[inbox], whos is approver or releaser.......like this u have to develop stause with signature mandatory to set workflow for automatic triggering, Both options is available in same screen.

when i click on signature field to digitally sign, in adobe reader version 9.5 , it does nothing. please explain and help.Urgent

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)

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?

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.

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.

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information. However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data in the field which we have this edit. Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting. any idea how we can get around this issue?

You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

Digitally Verified Signature Fields After Saving

I am using Acrobat 9. I am creating a PDF with a whole slew of editable fields. Once the PDF is done I need to be able to email it to several people who need to be able to fill it out and save it (so that they can upload it to a website for me). I have figured this part of it out thanks to someone else asking the same question. HOWEVER... when I save it as "Extend Form Fill-In and Save In Adobe Reader" and email it to my co-worker she is able to open the doc and edit the fields and save it... all except for the Verified Signature Fields, which are VERY important to this particular doc as it is a contract.
Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas? I'm in a pickle and needing to get this doc done very soon. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I remember getting a prompt to add the password after certain actions so that is why I thought it could be the same with the printing if the option had not been disabled.
From my point of view, I set security options for others not to be able to modify/do certain actions on my doc, but I would expect I would continue being able to do so...this way securing a document is also limiting myself as the author of the document.
Of course the inconvenience prior to signing turns into impossibility when digitally signed as you say...
I can cope with an inconvenience as I understand the way it has been thought (similar to when you protect an excel sheet or anything similar) but I also think it would be useful to find an alternative solution seeing the constraints added when the doc is signed. Printing out a document does not modify the original document...so it should be allowed (of course, in order to ascertain its validity, the printed copy would need to be checked against the digitally signed one (similar to what we need to do if we copy a document in paper...it needs to be checked against the original or even get attested).
Thanks again!

Can't sign signature field after unlocking

We have encountered the following senerio(both in Reader and Professional 8.1 and above), even with all appropriate rights and privages applied the document.
Given a simple document with 2 fields, one a digital signature field and one a simple text field.
On initial form open the digital signature field is set read-only. After the user enteres any data into the text field, the digital signature field is set to open for signing.
With Reader/Professional 8.0 and previous, the user gets the digital signature wizard when they click on the signature field and is able to sign the document
With Reader/Professional 8.1.x the user is able to click into the digital signature field (mouse changes to the finger/field indicator shows blue) but the wizard does not appear. The user cannot sign the document until it is saved, closed and then re-opened.
code is as follows
text field name: text1
digital signature field name: sig1
text1 exit event: if (!this.isNull && this.rawValue != null) sig1.access = "open";
Does anyone know how to fix/work around this problem?

What you're describing is what happens when the form has not been Reader-enabled, or the extended features are no longer valid. It's hard to say what's wrong without seeing the same document that she's using. It's also possible that even though she says she has the latest version of Reader, that she's actually using something else to view the PDF, such as Preview on the Mac, the built-in PDF viewer with Firefox or Chrome, or something else.

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.
