Managing signature page on a document with revision history

We are trying to migrate our drawing approval process from paper to digital using PDF's digital signatures. To release a version of a document, we need 3 sign-offs (creator, checker, approver). This was straightforward to implement using the digital signatures form field. All signatures reside on a signature appendix page that gets appended to the end of the PDF document we want to sign-off.
When we want to release the next revision of the document, we again need all 3 sign-offs, but we want to include the previous signature history. We understand that the earlier signatures will be invalid, but it is important for us to be able to print the signature appendix showing the full change history. We thought we'd be able to copy the signature page from the released PDF to the new revision, but when we copy this, the signature fields are blank.
Is it possible to achieve this functionality?

I need to create something similar to this. Did you find a solution?

Copying Documents With Version History

Hello,
I am working on a ribbon button for SharePoint 2013 with which users (with contribute permissions) can open a dialog to move selected documents to a different library (with the same content type) and enter soms Metadata to be set for the document.
One of the requirements for this is that the version History should be copied along with the document. Of course I googled for some code that allready does what I want to do and i stumbled upon this blog:
http://sharepointvenividivici.typepad.com/sharepoint-customization/2011/06/maintain-file-version-history-when-movingcopying-files-between-sharepoint-sites.html
Because this code also sets the modified and created information for the document the code runs under elevated priviliges because the users do not have the rights to modify that data.
At first this seemed to be the perfect solution, but after a while we found something truly annoying. The first time you copy the document it works perfectly and the document including version history is being transferred. But the second time the document
does get copied with the version history but in the version history the modified by is set to System Account for every version.
Does anyone know what can cause this?
After doing some more digging, I believe that the problem lies with the following function
SPFile fileDest = libDest.RootFolder.Files.Add(
                 urlDestFile,
                 streamFile,
                 hashSourceProp,
                 userCreatedBy,
                 userModifiedBy,
                 dateCreatedOn,
                 dateModifiedOn,
                 strVerComment,
                 true);
This function apparently sets the Created, Created By, Modified and Modified By properties to the values you provide, but when you later try to read this properties with code you get the userwith which you ran the code and not the user you provided. Does
anyone know a way to fix this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy documents with version history.
I had written a simple demo to copy files to another library, and modified the code as below, you can refer to the following code snippets to check whether it works.
public static void CopyFileWithVersion()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("YourSiteURL"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList sourceLib = web.Lists["Lib1"];
SPList DestinationLib = web.Lists["Lib2"];
SPListItem itemSource = sourceLib.GetItemById(2);
SPFile fileSource = itemSource.File;
SPUser userCreatedBy = fileSource.Author;
DateTime dateCreatedOn = fileSource.TimeCreated.ToLocalTime();
//Get the versions
int countVersions = itemSource.File.Versions.Count;
for (int i = 0; i <= countVersions; i++)
Hashtable hashSourceProperties;
Stream streamFile;
SPUser userModifiedBy;
DateTime dateModifiedOn;
string strVersionComment = "";
bool bolMajorVerison = false;
if (i < countVersions)
SPFileVersion fileSourceVerison = itemSource.File.Versions[i];
hashSourceProperties = fileSourceVerison.Properties;
userModifiedBy = (i == 0) ? userCreatedBy : fileSourceVerison.CreatedBy;
dateModifiedOn = fileSourceVerison.Created.ToLocalTime();
strVersionComment = fileSourceVerison.CheckInComment;
bolMajorVerison = fileSourceVerison.VersionLabel.EndsWith("0") ? true : false;
streamFile = fileSourceVerison.OpenBinaryStream();
else
userModifiedBy = fileSource.ModifiedBy;
dateModifiedOn = fileSource.TimeLastModified;
hashSourceProperties = fileSource.Properties;
strVersionComment = fileSource.CheckInComment;
bolMajorVerison = fileSource.MinorVersion == 0 ? true : false;
streamFile = fileSource.OpenBinaryStream();
string urlDestinationFile = DestinationLib.RootFolder.Url + "/" + fileSource.Name;
SPFile fileDestination = DestinationLib.RootFolder.Files.Add(
urlDestinationFile,
streamFile,
hashSourceProperties,
userCreatedBy,
userModifiedBy,
dateCreatedOn,
dateModifiedOn,
strVersionComment,
true);
SPListItem itmNewVersion1 = fileDestination.Item;
itmNewVersion1["Created"] = dateCreatedOn;
itmNewVersion1["Modified"] = dateModifiedOn;
itmNewVersion1.UpdateOverwriteVersion();

Opening Pages 2.0 documents with Pages 1.01

I cannot seem to figure out how to open a page on my work computer with Pages 1.01 that I saved on my home computer using Pages 2.0. Could there be a possible integration problem with the two different versions? Everytime I click "Open File" it says that it cannot be opened. Help please!?!?

Do you still have Pages 2.0 on your Mac? Even if you still have the trial version of Pages 2.0 which has expired it will allow you to open/view Pages 2.0 documents, but not save them.

Please advise.

Hi @FentyFly ,
I see by your post that you would like to know how to scan multiple pages into one file. I would like to help you out today.
From the HP Scan Software, click on the link for Advanced Settings, then uncheck Create a separate file for each scanned page.
Here is a URL for how to scan and change the settings. Just select your operating system.

Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

Hi everybody,
I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
Here's one of the link that don't work
http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

How can I re-order the pages in my document with having to cut and paste everything?

Hello, I have a larger sized document and I need to reorder the sections of my document. However there are many images so cut-paste seems to screw up my formatting since pages like to move text around automatically but not images (like if I hit backspace until the text goes back to the previous page, the images will stay on the same page without moving back).
On the previous version of pages (pages' 09 I believe) I could simply click and drag the page thumbnails around. However I cannot seem to be able to do this in Pages'13... Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

Hi dd,
Pages '09 offered two types of documents.
Word processing documents included a text layer, and consisted of sections made up of multiple pages. If no section breaks were inserted, a fifty page document could consist of a single section. Text could be placed directly into the text layer, and Objects could be placed on the page as Floating Objects, independent of the text, and able to make text flow around themselves, or could be placed as Inline Objects, inserted into the line of text running from beginning to end of the document, and moving with the text as it was edited.
In a Page Layout document, each page was a single section. There was no text layer, so only objects could be placed on the page. Any text had to be contained in a Text box or in a Shape. Unless grouped, each object was independent of the others.
Changing your images from Floating to Inline objects may be the key to your document rearranging issues. They can be changed back to Floating after being moved to theor new locations.
Regards,
Barry

How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document? Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore. Can anyone please help? I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft. This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me. My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP). Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Can you delete the last page of a document with a script?

Hello, I have been building a script over the last week to help me remove formatting and reapply some of that formatting on a large number of files. I am still learning alot about how to build scripts and what the commmands are but I am almost doen with everything I need to put in it. One of the last things that I want to add is to delete the last page from the Indesign file whether it has content or not. Is this possible? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Something like this:
if (app.activeDocument.pages.length > 1)
app.activeDocument.pages[-1].remove();
First check if document contains more than one page, and if does, remove last page.
Hope that helps.

Saving multiple scanned pages as single document with 8620

I need to scan multiple pages and save as a single document. I am scanning using the AiO remote app and my iPad Air. I see the "Add Pages" icon and use it, but when I save, it saves as individual documents. I need multiple pages to be a single document. Solutions?

Hi,
As mentioned above, I can't re-create the problem. You mentioned Add Page and this is it:
You simply touch Yes then touch Scan for next page .... and at the end Touch "No I'm done" then Save a PDF file or image file.
Regards.

Printing page range in document with more than one page #1

I have an insurance application which has 24 pages numbered 1-6 then restarting 1-18. This is not just the page # at the bottom of the page but the page number that Adobe Free Reader is showing. When on the last page the top of the screen shows [18] 24 of 24.
I want to print the first page 5 which works fine when I print current page or a page range. Then I want to print 1-12 of the second section which I have tried printing as 7-18. This gave me the pages numbered 7-18 of the second section. But if I try printing page 1-12 I get 18 pages or 1-6 + 1-12.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Change the Preference from using logical pages to physical pages and then select the physical pages.
You should provide unique names for the page numbers when you apply page numbers to the PDF and you need to fix them if you merge PDFs.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

Word 2013 and documents with more than 400 pages

Hi,
we have the Problem that Word 2013 need terrible long to load or save documents with a large number of pages (>400). Ther are no Images or Links inside the document nor are there references to any templates. The File size is not so large, its about 2.5-3MB.
The User says that this was faster with Office 2010. I could not beleave this, cause on a test mashine with Word 2010 it wasn't faster.
Now my question. Are ther any Options, registry keys ore something else, we can use to speed up this behaviour? Someone has an idea on how to solve this issue? This user is killing my nerves, every 10mins he gives me a call or write an email to me, why its
not working and why we can not solve the problem. ;-)
Thanks for any ideas
Micha

If, in your testing you've confirmed the document is, in fact, no faster to load or save, then that's what matters insofar as Word is concerned. Without knowing what else might have changed, it's impossible to give a definitive answer. Possibilities that
wouldn't show up on a stand-alone PC include documents that are attached to templates whose location no longer exists on the network, or if Windows is using a printer driver that is located on a network print server or the user's workstation has damaged/missing
fonts. See: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/280821
All these issues are easily resolved - the template one can even be resolved by the user. To attach a different template:
1. Open the document
2.Choose Devloper|Document Template.
3.If anything other than 'Normal' is listed, click Attach.
4.In the Attach Template dialog box, select the template that you want, and then click Open.
5.In the Templates and Add-ins dialog box, click OK.
In the meantime, report the user to management for harassment! Pestering about the issue every 10mins is unreasonable.
