Locking "Clea Form" with signatures

I've created a fillable form and have inserted 3 sections. At the end of section one an employee is required to add their signature. In that signature box property I have set it so that once the signature is applied all form fields selected become read only. The form is then passed onto the next employee to fill out section two and I don't want them to be able to edit the first section of the record. etc. The final signature in section three should lock all form fields.
These signatures lock the fields from being able to be edited, however it's kind of pointless when anybody after signing the document can hit "Clear Form" and all the form fields are removed - hence leaving me with a document that contains no records, just signtaures.
How can I prevent the use of "Clear Form" from being used?

Hi,
If you choose to host your site on Business catalyst, then you can add the file attachment uploader button to your form depending on your site plan. For signatures, there isn't really an option to add signatures. However, you can add a check box button to the form in BC and serve it as the "I accept to terms and conditions" or something like that. You can make it a mandatory field to enforce the submitter's consent.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aish

  • Problem in Webdynpro and Adobe form with signature field

    Hi experts!
    I have a problem with Signature Field in Adobe Form showed in a Web Dynpro Abap.
    During the execution I fill the Signature field correctly but when I push any other button of the Webdynpro, the Adobe Form shows me the next error.
    After click OK, the webdynpro is hang and not respond.
    Any idea why not respond?
    Thanks.

    Hi friend,
    Its not like that the Adobe created using SFP is non interactive.
    We can create interactive forms using SFP transaction using java code.
    I think it will be the problem with ADS just check with your basis people i think they will configure you the settings which works fine.
    To check whether the settings are perfect you can try executing the standard programs FP_TEST_00 and
    FP_PDF_TEST_00. If it works fine then some other problem exists else check with your basis team.
    Just check this and revert me if you have any issues. I will help you
    Thanks,

  • Cannot view PDF forms (with Signature) in Workspace Error : "SigDict/Contents illegal data"

    Hello,
    With Jasmin's help, I am able to import a PDF form which is digitally signed >> view it in Workspace >> click Approve/Decline for archiving. Thanks Jasmin !
    When I view the form in workspace, I get a "Atleast one signature is invalid" prompt on the top left corner of the window. Upon clicking the "Signature Panel", it says "The Signature is invalid" with a description of "SigDict/Contents illegal data"
    Once the process is complete, I am unable to open the same form. I get an error message in Adobe Reader (within workspace).
    "Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Aditya

    For everyone's reference.
    I figured out the "Signature is Invalid" message.
    This was my fault as I used a Form Augmenter (insert form bridge) to a signed form which broke the PDF.
    After removing that module, I no longer got that message. However, once I approve the form I could no loner view it and I would still get an error.
    "Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
    Anyone know why ?

  • What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

  • Email PDF Form and Sign Entire Submission - Can this lock the form and show the signature?

    Thanks to those who explained how to create a button that allows me to email a form as a PDF rather than XML. It helped me a great deal.
    Now I want to cause our time sheet adjustment form to be emailed from the employee to their supervisor, and have the form-data be read-only, and the employee signature to be obvious to the recipient.
    I've tried checking the Sign Submission check box in the Submit tab of the Button Object window, (where the mailto: tag has been entered.
    I clicked the "Settings..." button on the Submit tab and then, under the "Sign Data and Submit Settings" dialog box I selected "Sign Entire Submission". But this does not lock the data and the resulting PDF form once emailed, shows no sign of a signature.
    I also tried adding a signature field, and clicked on it to add a signature. But once the signature was added, the Button was disabled and I could not submit the form via the mailto: tag.
    Is there a way to signa form with a self-signed signature, and email the entire PDF such that the recipient can see the signature, and that the data are no longer editable?
    Wouldn't that just be ducky...?
    Thanks again,
    -David Bartholomew

    Thanks for your comment. I suppose I need to add a context to my intended usage to explain why I want what I described. I want the signature to be apparent so users can see that a submission was signed. These forms that I am considering will replace a paper form used internally within my organization, to request a time card change. They only need to be signed as a pro-forma requirement.
    If the electronic forms solution is approved by management, I will make a case that since the network is a closed intranet, there is little consequential likelihood that a fellow employee would forge another's time card change request. And since the new form would be submitted through email, there is a further validation that the email will identify the sender's email address. This proposed electronic submission method is certainly as valid as forms where users cut and paste an image of their signature in a document...
    The good news is that since I asked this question, I discovered the samples that came with LCD 8...
    An example can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive.
    The interactive Purchase Order sample shows how a collection of fields can be defined and then the signature applied only to the data in the collection. The email button is defined as not included in the collection. This way the signature field can be used, and once the document is signed, the email button remains enabled.
    The interactive purchase order sample also demonstrates how a drop down list can be populated by a JavaScript as well as some array handling syntax that I've been looking for.
    I recommend the samples to anyone who, like me, may not have been aware of their relevance.
    Thanks again, this forum is a great resource.

  • ? using multiple approval signatures, each locking the fields with collections

    Having fun with LiveCycle to make a "signoff" sheet that will allow a customer to request a "new product" with a PDF form. Once that information is added to our EDR (Eng Design Request) form, I want the form to be forwarded to multiple departments, where each department manager adds their name, date, comments, and then signs the document and forwards it to the next manager. I have it set up with "locking" a "collection fields" with each signature, and that is cool to lock their comments to thier signature, such that someone else can't change their comments without first "clearing" their signature field... just what I wanted, cool,, taking it a step further, I wanted to have the original product data protected such that once signed by one, or more managers (Eng, Sales, President), that the data was locked unless all signatures were cleared. I tried this first by including the product definition fields in every signature's "collection of fields" (set to lock after signing). Thought that would be the ticket, pretty pumped to try it, but once I clear one signature, example the "Eng manager signature" I can go in and mess with the specs and then re-sign the document, and the other signatures are still there, thought I have to clear them, not good,,, 2nd try, I then tried to lock the preceeding "signature field" itself with the next signature (added "sig0" to "sig1" collection) and that worked once, but fell apart on the third approval, as clear one signature openned things right up, when it shouldn't have. Anyway, has anyone found a way to have an approval signoff sheet where once signed the data fields are locked unless all the signature(s) are cleared. I think the programming is not handing multiple locks on the sme field properly, ie all locks on that field must be removed for that field to become editable,, There may be a better way to tackle this..
    PS, I have really learned to be cautious when saving the form out of LiveCyle, then renaming it and save out or "Pro" with read permisions enabled, then see if "Reader" can open it,,, if U R not carefull you get and error that the "document has changed and reader can't save, contact the author,,," that was scary as I had to surf through lots of old revs to find one that would work again, something salvagable without going back to MSWord,,,
    Thanks for your help...

    I think I found a way to get it to do what I want,,,
    1) Use the first signature collection lock to lock only the fields that that person is signing-off on.
    2) The next manager then signs off and locks only his comments and text boxes, as well as the signature of the preceeding manager. This way text fields are only locked by one signature collection and thus to edit anything you have to clear that manager's signature to edit the related text boxes, then to re-sign that section you must clear the other (higher level) signatures to open up the signature field for resigning,,, I think this is providing the protection I want,,, Yea,,, let's get this form back into our stupid ISO system ;)

  • Certified dynamic form with 3 signatures

    I've never made a certified form before and I'm having trouble understanding the process. Does anyone have a generic certified form that I can use as a guide or an indepth article explaining this type of form?
    What I want to happen is for the features bar (Help and Radio buttons, and Clear button) at the top of the form to become invisible after the first signature is applied. The features bar isn't a legal portion of the form. It becomes a distraction for one wanting to archive a .jpg copy and it would look better for it to just disappear on signing.
    The form is dynamic otherwise the Radio button labels won't go invisible on demand.
    Adobe's instruction aren't helpful. They state one must change the "Preserve scripting changes to form when saved:" to manual and write script for the preSave event and use the delta property for a certified form. There are no examples of this that I can find.
    The problem I'm having occurs when the form is signed in all 3 places. There follows a list of all the changes made to the form after signing.
    The signing flow is from left to right. Prior to the last signature, the signer checks an approval/disapproval box and dates the decision. The last signature (on the right) locks the form using the "Form Object Collections..." statement modified to suit the situation.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    hi raf--
    i just checked our queue of enhancement requests and have no further word to offer on our built-in dml proc's being able to support compound pkeys of more than two columns. it's in the queue, though, so that's a start. re coding the proc's yourself: it's really just a matter of fetching the data you need in one proc and updating it in another proc. the only level of complexity that comes to mind would be implementing some kind of optimistic locking mechanism to maintain data integrity. these three pieces can be quite easily divided into two processes on an HTML DB page. have the fetch process fire with a "Process Point" of "On Load - After Header" and the update one fire "On Submit - After Computations and Validations". the rest of the solution is just pl/sql.
    hope this helps,

  • Can't submit form with multiple signatures

    I have a form with multiple signatures. I've enabled Reader Rights. After the first signature signs, the user must save the document. When the document is saved, then the user cannot submit the form to the next signer. Is there a way to change how this is working?
    Thanks,
    MDawn

    MDawn
    Did you design the form with Adobe Designer?  Assuming you did, when you add a signature field, there is a property enabled by default that "Locks all fields" after signing.  A submit button is also considered a field so it will be locked after the first signature is applied.
    You need to either disable this property (I would not recommend this) or create field collections that are assigned to specific signature fields.  A field collection controls which fields are locked by each signature field when signed.

    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.

  • Form with multiple signatures, each with sigDate, only one date fills

    I have a form with two signature fields, Sig1 and Sig2.  Each sig field has an associated date field Sig1Date and Sig2Date.
    I have a Topaz signature pad, so the form users physically sign the document.
    When the first signature is entered (in either Sig1 or Sig2), the associated date field autofills as expected.
    When the second signature is entered the associiated date remains blank.
    I have other forms from vendors with up to six signature fields, each with dates, where each date fills as the signatures are entered... what am I doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    The problem must be in the way the form is constructed. There must be a JavaScript associated with your signature fields that autofill the date, and perhaps it is working on Sig1 but not on Sig2. If you sign the second signature field first, does its date field get populated? Do you know that other people are able to sign both fields in the same PDF and have both dates populated? I am sceptic about that. IMO this is more a question to the author of the PDF that you are signing.

  • We want to create an online contract form with different options which will determine different prices as they make their choices. We will also require a legally binding e-signature. Is Acrobat the best product or even an option for this?

    We want to create an online contract form with different options which will determine different prices as they make their choices. We will also require a legally binding e-signature. Is Acrobat the best product or even an option for this?

    You need to use form fields. See the Acrobat help section and this site: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/
    However, that last part (receiving an automatic response when a form is submitted) has nothing to do with Acrobat, or even with the PDF file. This is something you'll need to set up on your web (or email) server.

  • Lock page and signatures with signature

    I need to lock a document (including signatures). Currently, I can set the signature field to lock the page or parts of it, but all signatures can still be cleared and resigned by the signator. How do I stop that? I need it to be final and unchangeable once the final signature is applied.

    You can lock the entire document from changes when signing a field, but only if it's the last unsigned signature field in the document. The only change that is allowed is clearing the signature by the person who applied it, assuming no one else has access to your digital id (private key).

  • How do I lock some form fields, but not all?

    How do I create a form with interactive form fields where certain fields can be locked after being filled in, and others remain unlocked so the customer can interact with it?
    My workflow looks like this:
    I created a PDF with open form fields for my client to distribute to their salesmen.
    Salesmen receive a call, fill in the information gathered. (name, address, services, price quotes, etc)
    Salesmen email the pdf form to the customer. All fields that they filled in now need to be non-editable, EXCEPT an "I agree" checkbox and a signature line.
    Help is greatly appreciated!
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Before I go too deep into a suggestion, I need to know if you are using electronic digital signatures for signing the document? Or, are you expecting the customer to print the document, sign it with a pen and fax it back? The reason I ask is you could use digital signatures to lock specific parts of the document, but if you're not using them I won't bore you with the details.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with Signature fields

    Dear All,
    I have 3 signature fields on a form that I have just completed. Each of this signature locks each section of the form, but whenever one of this signatures are signed, it shows a message that reads, "Atleast one of the signatures is invalid". I then unchecked the locked all fields check boxes of all 3 variables fields  that controlled the fields that need to be locked, and the invalid signatures disappeared, however, the three sections need to be locked when each signature is clicked on. And it works fine, but for this message.
    Does anyone knows why it is happening? And what's the solution. I need help.
    Thanks
    Tammy

    Hi guys,
    Actually I found a way to do it...
    You can create a button with the reset form action and then select all the signature fields only.
    Otherwise what I did was was added the same action in the signature field, but on the Mouse Down function. What happens is, the author can clear the signature and the other signatures will still be there, BUT when he clicks to resign, then the other signatures get cleared and the document gets saved with only the author signature.
    It's not exactly how I wanted it to work but it does the job none the less.
    1. Funny how this has been overlooked.
    2. Funny how all these members with so many points haven't figured out how to do this
