Multiple Digital Signatures on a form

I need to get five signatures on a form but each time I sign it, it makes me save. After two saves (and two signatures), I could no longer click on the signature fields. I need to use this form to get a job entered for my building. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

Multiple Digital Signatures in one Form

Hello
I have an Interactive Forms that requires the digital signing of 6 different users. There is a control under the Web Dynpro Native named : Signature : Sign and Lock which allows multiple signatures but I am not able to use it correctly.
I need to associate text fields in the form to a certain signature so when the user signs them they are locked BUT but I need to be able to have other text fields open so another user can sign the form. It is only when the second user signs the form that the remaining text fields are locked
Any idea ?

Hi Mare,
You cannot merge files and expect that the digital signatures will be preserved. When you sign a file you are signing all of the bytes in that file, and only that file. Once you combine files you are creating a new unsigned file. If someone were to sign the new file they are signing all of the bytes in the new file, not just some of the bytes. There is no "page level" signing in PDF files, only whole file signing.
You can however put the signed files into a Portfolio file. A Portfolio keeps the files separate. Think of a Portfolio like a file cabinet in the physical world. Just because you put different files into the file cabinet drawer, they don't merge.

Pdf fillable form - multiple digital signatures

I have a fillable pdf form that requires multiple digital signatures. Is there a way to send the form to multiple parties and merge it back to one form upon receipt of the signature from each party? Does that be accomplished with a javascript or do I need to use a different software? Thank you.

That's not how digital signatures work, so the answer is "no". When multiple people need to sign a document, they need to sign the same document in sequence.

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

How to do Multiple digital signatures?

I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple digital signatures. This is an approval form that is emailed "up the chain of command". I have enabled extended features in Adobe Reader so that users without Acrobat 9 can digitally sign the form. I created the form and did a certified signature. I then emailed it to a typical user who filled in the form and emailed it to her boss for a digital signature. Her boss digitally signed it and emailed it to the CFO. The CFO does not have Acrobat 9. When she gets it, she gets the error message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." How do I correct this?

Steve,
I wanted to test how cumbersome it would be to have the 2 staff members open with Adobe Reader instead of Creative Suite; however, I have not been able to find any option like "open with" in my outlook email. Every time I try to open it defaults to my Acrobat 9 Pro to open the document. Would the 2 staff members have to save the email and then use "open with" in order to by pass Creative Suite?
Also I am not sure if you answered my question last time - Is it possible to just upgrade the Acrobat portion of Creative Suite or do you have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite just to get the newer Acrobat? I will also be checking the upgrade link you sent. Thanks.

Multiple Digital Signatures on single profile.

Hello,
I have a question. Can I create multiple digital signatures on a single system.
If Yes, I can create digital signature of any "Signature required person" and I can sign for him, If I have his email id and Organization name, correct?
It means we can easily sign for any other person in the world. If so, how does this system mean to be safe ?
Thanks

The problem is when I execute my Adobe form I am not getting SIGN button in my generated form as mentioned in the link.
I am using Adobe Live cycle designer 8.2 and Adobe reader 9.
Please help me out on this since I am new to Adobe forms as well.
Thanks

Moderator message: this is the wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe".
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Oct 21, 2011 1:56 PM

Apart from the above question can anybody guide me whether do we need Adobe Acrobat instead of Adobe reader to implement Digital Signature in Adobe form.
Looking forward towards some useful suggestions!!
Thanks

ADOBE Form - How to include digital signatures in adobe forms?

Hi all,
Can any one tell me the procedure for including a digital signature in adobe form?
Thanks,
Vineel.

Hi,
If you have a third party software which captures the signatures (Ex: ePad), then you can have that integrated to SAP where all the signatures get stored as in SE78. From here you can insert directly in Adobe Form using Graphic Content method in an image field. Hope this is helpful for you.

Digital Signatures on Scanned forms

How i add digital signature in interactive form

Hi gurus,
I want to upload an Digital Signature in Adobe forms. Could any body tell me the procedures please help me out.
Thank you,
pawan

Hi Pawan,
Inorder to make use of Digital Signatures in forms, you have to first configure the ADS based on SSL and not Basic Authentication. Refer to the ADS Configuration guide for the same.
After the configuration using SSL as the security mode, you need to place a signature field when designing the Adobe form.
In addition you need to create a signature in Adobe Reader(if used to display the form) which you can use to sign the document at runtime.
Hope this helps.

Creating a form that allows multiple Digital Signatures

I am trying to make a PDF form that allows multiple users to sign different portions of a single form. I have created the form and inserted the Digital signature fields. Which if I use my Acrobat 8 Professional to open I am able to sign each different signature field independantly, but if the form is opened in just Reader 8 it will not allow singing of any digital signature field at all. Seems the security settings revert to a default of not allowing the form to be signed. Anyone able to help, if I have not provided enough information please let me know as I am pretty new to LiveCycle.

The previous post is correct. Reader will not allow you to sigh an form unless it has been reader extended to enable the signing functionality. Acrobat pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions can be used for this.

Multiple digital signatures in a pdf form?

I'm creating an adobe pdf form that requires multiple approvers (one after the other) to digitally sign the form. However, once the second person digitally signs the form, the first person's signature will become invalid because the addition of the second signature is not signed by the first person.
Is it possible to digitally sign the pdf form excluding the signatures? and how to allow multiple signature in a pdf form while ensuring the form integrity?

Hi,
I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

Making Multiple Digital Signatures Read-only in Form (Acrobat 9)

I have created a form which includes two (2) digital signature fields. What needs to occur with the form is Person1 fills the form and then digitally signs it thereby making the form fields read-only . Person2 then digitally signs the form which should make Person1's digital signature read-only.
Here's what I've done:
1) For the Person1 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields except these> and selected the Person2 digital signature field.
2) For the Person2 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields> since once Person2 signs the form I do not want Person1 to be able to clear the digital signature and make changes to the form.
Here's what actually occurs:
Step 1 above works fine. Once the signature is applied all the form fields are read-only except for the Person2 digital signature field.
The problem is that after Person2 digitally signs the form, even though I selected all fields as read-only, Person1 can 'clear' their signature which leaves all the form fields available for editing and leaves Person2's digital signature still on the form.
I honestly don't care about 'validating' signatures on this form since it's going to be printed but I cannot allow Person2's signature to remain on the form and allow Person1 to edit the form.

Problems getting multiple digital signatures in Acrobat Reader form

I have a Word document that I converted to a form in Acrobat 9 Pro. I added two separate digital signature fields, one for a conference presenter and the other for the conference planner to sign. There are also a number of text fields where presenters give bio information. I saved the document using the Extend functionality so that a user who only has Acrobat Reader would be able to fill in the form, sign/save it, and then send it on to the conference planner. The first part is working fine. However, once the first user signs/saves the document, the extended functionality goes away. When the conference planner receives the document, it is essentially locked. She cannot sign and save.
Is what I'm trying to do possible? I feel like this would be fairly commonplace, but I may be going about it the wrong way. Thank you for any pointers.
-Brian

Hi Steve,
I have met similar problem. Using Adobe 9.4 I have prepared document with three signature fileds. I did signature in one of the field and then did extension to Reader. When I checked the propierties of document it occured that signing was not allowed. I couldn't sign it second time (not saying of Reader's user).
Is there missing any plug-in or something is wrong with a configuration (mentioned "Nothing has happened when signed" was set up)?
