Make a digital signature required

I am using Lifecycle Designer, and we are on version 8. I have looked through the Acrobat 8 PDF bible, and have also been searching the web but cannot figure out a way to do what I want. I see a lot of scripts, where you can set up a submit button to only work if a text box is filled out, but how do I do that based on a digital signature being unsigned. I have seen scripts that make the dig. signature mandatory, but even when signing it, the script still thinks it is null. Another option that would work would be if the submit button was read only, until the digital signature was signed. We are not using the email submit button or the HTTP submit buttion because we wanted to have the entire PDF returned not just the xml. Is what I am trying to do possible? I do not have much experience with java script of formcalc.
thanks in advance,
Nat

EasyDMS 7 - Digital signature error "you must make a digital signature...."

Hi Folks,
I am getting the error "you must make a digital signature for this status@188@26" when trying to set a status which has digital signature (sig strategy SAPPOCSS).
This was working fine in EasyDMS 6.0 and currently works in SAPGUI cv02n (after pressing enter twice when I get a warning). I am/was using the same user with correct auth objects (and SAP_ALL).
Any idea what the issue could be. Has anybody experienced this in EasyDMS 7.0?
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
This worked fine EDMS 6.0 SP14. Its not on EasyDMS 7.0 SP3. At the same time I am able to do this from CV02N. My next course of action is to try on EDMS 7.0 SP4. Will update the thread on how that goes and will also look at doing a debug.
Cheers,
Lashan

Digital Signature - Requirement to Enter User ID

Whassup Ya'll-
We'd like to leverage digital signature in our landscape. However, in order to be Part 11 compliant we will need to have our approvers enter both their user ID and corresponding password. However, as it stands when an approver is prompted for an e-sig, the User ID is already populated.
Please advise how to customize so the user is forced to enter both fields. I'll make it rain with points.
Cheers

Have you tried restarting the touchpad by pressing and holding both the center button and the power button together for around 15 - 20 seconds?

"valid digital signature" required????

I am trying to download a poker website that i have been using for years and i now get a message saying "...valid digital signature missing...". I don't understand. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Sounds like your security settings for their site are missing - such as might happen when you delete temproary Internet files and cookies.
Best bet would be to call their support number.
If you have a secure password... then you can use the "unable to view secure web sites" steps in this document to "reset" secure connections:

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

Make printed digital signature disappear if document altered

We have created a document and digitally signed it. We have then altered the document. When the document is viewed on the screen the signature shows as invalid.
When the document is printed, however, the signature is the same.
Is there a way of either showing the state of the signature (valid / invalid), or making it disappear on a printed document?
Note, I did notice a similar question here, but the response was to a link that no longer works.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this - it would achieve the results, but implementing would be difficult.
I am trying to imagine the process that a user would have to go through. Digitally sign a document and then cut and paste a bunch of javascript into the document? It seems like a step that would be difficult to train people on, and hard to manage.
Is it be possible to make the check box for a valid signatures visible on print as well as screen? Maybe that is the best result. We want to allow printing and annotations, but we just want to prevent someone passing off an altered printed copy as true. Any solution that accomplishes this would be helpful.

Multiple Digital Signatures (certificates) results in VERY slow PDF

I created a form in Lifecycle that typically has 8 signatures. As more signatures are added the form slows down significantly. Our director, who ultimately signs off on the document, has informed us that it took him 35+ minutes to approve 3 documents. The forms are on a network drive. I had read some old threads that mentioned this issue was being investigated and the newer versions of Acrobat should help speed up this process. We are currently running Acrobat X 10.1.4. Any suggestions as to what might be slowing things down? I know the digital signatures require validating and expect it to slow things down a bit but 11+ minutes is probably more than it should be. Thanks

Hi,
Just out of curiousity, if the form has been Reader Enabled, and, if the director could download the free Adobe Reader v11 from the Adobe web site, and he signs the file using version 11, is the signing process faster? It should be much faster in version 11 because we fixed the recursive validation issue that made dealing with multiple signatures so slow.
If you're interested in the nuts and bolts read on, but if not I'll understand...
The way signature validation use to work is Acrobat (and Reader as well because because the signature creation and validation mechanisms are the same in both) would start to validate signature number 8 right after the signature was created (it needs to do the validation so it knows whether or not to put the green check mark next to the signature). As part of the validation process it would need to re-validate each previous signature (and this is where things start to get weird). In order to validate signature 7 it has to also validate all previous signatures (6 thru 1) and every time it validates a new signature it has to do all of the previous signatures. Each signature would get validated as many times as it was part of the revision list. That is, signature 1 got validated eight times, signature 2 seven times and so on.
Begining with version 11 (or XI as it says in the product) we stopped all of the recursive validation and just do each signature once which makes the signature validation process much quicker. I'm always looking for real world examples, and if you can test it with Reader XI I'd appreciate knowing the results.
Thanks,
Steve

Web Services with Digital Signature?

Hello,
I spoke to Adobe yesterday regarding using web services to submit forms, but our forms need to have a digital signature in them. He said (not a quote, just a recap here) while technically possible, it will be difficult since we would need to deserialize the document.
So, has anyone accomplished this? Is there a QPAC out there that can already handle this?
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hello Chris,
I really am in unfamiliar ground here, so if a servlet works, then great (of course I have no clue how to do that...).
Basically we need to have a form out on a website so that people can submit this form with a digital signature. We do have Form Manager, but right now cannot use it since the Form Manager requires AD/LDAP accounts. Considering that our form is a request for a USER ACCOUNT, we are stuck :D I thought the web services may have been our answer, but then it was looking like we couldn't use it because of our digital signature requirement.
The only reason I wanted to try to make this fit back into the workflow is for after the fact processing done by admins (who will definitely have a LC account). I figured an admin could trigger the workflow by sending the user (no LC account) an email with the URL to the pdf form - I assumed this could be done with some type of init form. The 2 different possible scenarios:
1. The user gets the email, fills the form and signs it and then provides the email address to the next user (again, no LC account) to fill and sign and then to a third user without an LC account to fill and sign and then if we could hook back into the work flow from there so that the admin could basically "check off" that their account was created which would then send an intro email to the user with their account info and other message.
2. Within the Init Form we provide the supervisor and security manager email addresses, so that when the first user submits the form, it automatically sends an email to their Supervisor (assuming we need to hook back into the workflow). And then eventuall we get to the "check off" part and go on our way.
After these three people sign the form, believe it or not, we need TWO (possible 4) more signatures. These people will have LC accounts.
Overall, I need to keep the form intact with the digital signatures so we can store the form. Would the HTTP Post submit to a servlet accomplish this? If so, where can I read up on this further?
Regarding the form storage, I originally thought this would be stored for viewing through Form Manager, but Adobe Support indicated that the admin would have to actually upload this filled out form through adminui, so this just sounded like a mess to me. I was hoping to have something where the admins could search for submitted forms as needed.
I hope this is all making sense. We spent so much money on this product and it's looking like we cannot use it now because of 1. requirement of an AD/LDAP account to use Form Manager and 2. if we don't use Form Manager, it looks like we cannot utilize web services due to our requirement of a digital signature.
I just need to get this form online and ideally, get it hooked back into the workflow somehow with keeping the digital signature in tact.
Another question - What if we received the form via email with the first three parts filled out (data + digital signatures from the non-LC account holders). Can we get this form submitted into the workflow then to utilize Form Manager?
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Digital Signatures in Adobe Reader 8

Hello,
I am trying to use adobe reader 8 to make a digital signature on a pdf document but I run into an error code when I try to sign and save the document. It comes up saying: platform encyption
keyset does not exist
error code: 2148073494
This was after running through this document on the adobe website: http://http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/8.0/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102bd61510 9794195ff-7d4b.html minus the first HTTP that is in this line. Has anyone tried this or seen this error?
Thanks in advance, have fun
Dave

What I found is that the document first has to have usage rights enabled in Acrobat Pro 8 or 9, then you can use Reader 8 or 9 to sign the document.

Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required. When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections. The form is workflow through email after each user signs it. Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
Thank you,
Lori

Steve,
After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo. Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large. Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
Thank you for your help,
Lori

Digital Signatures signed by Gemsign are not getting retained if we save and open the pdf

Please let me know what to do to make the digital signatures signed by Gemsign signature to be in visible mode if we save, close and reopen the pdf deisgned using Adobe Licecycle designer ES3 version.

Are production and development systems are on different versions?

Digital Signature Issues

Hi, I am brand new to this forum, But this is my second question. I am running Abobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.
          I have been tasked with making a document that is Digital Signature ready.
          I was able to make a digital signature for my document. However, I have two warning that come up.
               Once the document is signed, a blue bar shows up at the top of the page. It has the following statement: "At least one signature has problems, Please fill out the following form. If you are the form author, choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to your recipients"
                When expanding on the yellow triangle, There is one green check mark (with a statement that says: "The document has not been modified since this signature was applied".
                    Two warnings show up:
                     1) "The signers identiy is unknown because it has not been included in your list of trusted identities and none of its parent certificates are trusted identities".
                     2) " Signature date/time are from the clock on the signers computer".
               George, I have not been able to paste the Javascripts from that freeware into my Adobe program. I am not sure if it is the permissions set in the Adobe program or the restrictions my company has with altering computer software.
          Is there something that I might be able to do to remove the warnings?
          Very Respectfully: Rossknechtt,

For #1, it will always show that for self-signed certificates that you have not yet chosen to trust. When you add the identity to your list of trusted identities
and choose to trust it as a trusted root.
For #2, it will say that unless the time was retrieved from a timestamp server when the signature was applied. So what you're seeing is normal if one was not used.
More information on all of this is in the Acrobat Help document.

Variable number of required digital signatures

Hi,
I have following problem: I have a document type wich requires a variable type of digital signatures bevore it is released. Who has to check the document depends on its content.
1st Question: Is there a way to define wich user has to sign the document (at moment we just define that one user with the right authorization has to sign, but not exactly who).
2nd Question: Is there a way to define a status wich requires defined signatures (more than one) before it switches to the next status?
The signature process should look like this: After the document is created the creator defines who has tho check it. Then he sets it to status "to be checked". As long as not all of the required users has signed it stays in this status. When all rewuired users have signed status changes to "released".
Every answer is helpfull.

For question 1, we normally have a classification field with the approver listed in it (used for workflow as well). When the user attempts to execute a digital signature we normally add an enhancement to check that its the same user listed in the approver field.
For question 2, there are a couple of alternatives, but we normally handle this with workflow or abap for multiple approvers. We make the approver field in classification a multiple entry field and then use either workflow or abap to kick the document back to the previous status so that if there is more than one approver, each approver has the ability to set the same status. The enhancement also keeps tabs on who has signed the document and once all the approvers have signed we kick it over to the final status.
This same process can be used for multiple entries on both a reviewer and approver field (if you require review and approver otherwise you can just use approval) and allows you to use this process for both review and approval. For example, you could use a status network that goes:
In Work - For Review - Reviewed - For Approval - Approved - Released.
In the process of approval, the approver would set the "approved" status whilst the system would reset it back to "for approval" and only once the last person had approved it would automatically set the released status. The trick using this method is to ensure that the work items are not regenerated every time it sets it back to "for approval" so there is some logic required for your workflow consultant.
The review process would be exactly the same with the exception that the system would automatically kick it over from "reviewed" to "for approval" or whatever you next status might be.

Digital Signature Text is too big, how to make it take up less room?

I added a digital signature to a PDF and part of it is a real handwritten signature. The digital signature text was also added but it is taking up too much room on the signature line. I would like to make the real signature large and the text part of the digital signature smaller. I cannot seem to find oout how to make this happen. Is it possible? If so, can someone please supply the steps?

hi Axl....
I've got tiger in ok, running fine - bought family pack and have done 3 installs without problem, so that's the good news ....
I did a major reshuffle and toss-out of files before I installed - bought 80gb mobile external hard drive - and did install with 5+gb free, so after it had about 3gb free, then all of a sudden I went down to less than 1gb
I've been in a hunt for more files to throw out (a nice find were the old ipod updaters that were eating 500mb) ....
If I want to throw out most of the language files (for instance) ... where are they ? (I did search for danois and found nothing, so .... buried ?)
any other suggestions for things to throw away .... I've pretty much eliminated 90% of all things classic, for instance ....
and - do you have ideas for why space seems to disappear so fast .... I'm not doing anything special, but wham, 2gb flies away to ???
thanks
