Multiple Electronic Signatures

I have just upgraded from Adobe 9 Professional to Adobe 11 Professional. Although I have saved several signature appearances, I am unable to chose which one to insert when signing documents. Is there a way to do this without having to "change" or "clear" my saved signature? Please help! Thanks!

Yes, that's an e-signature. An option if you need to set up multiple e-signatures is to use stamps. They can be flattened individually, which converts them to regular page contents. The Acrobat help has more information on using stamps and you can use the following free JavaScript-based utility to flatten them after they're applied if you want: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Multiple electronic signatures in PDF portfolio

I Have a PDF portfolio that has multiple PDFs in it each requiring 1 or more electronic signatures. The problem is that after the first person signs one of the PDFs no one else is able to and they receive an error saying it's already open or they have read only access

Which Acrobat version do you have? I've heard that there is a bug in this area in Acrobat 11.0.7. I do not have personal experience with it and I do not know how soon it will be fixed.

Multiple Electronic Signatures using Signature PAD

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement where we need to capture the electronic signature on thee PDF form at different time. This means I fill the PDF form get the 1st electronic signature using signature PAD and then saved the form. I open the same form and then take the 2nd signature. When we are taking the 2nd signature on the saved form it's making the form and signature invalid.
Please let me know if there's a restriction by Adobe PDF such that you can't accept the signature once it's signed and saved.
Thanks, Ritesh

Multiple electronic signatures in a WORD document

Thanks William. I got this far last week and I am hitting the same wall. After I sign it "Marks As Final" and makes it a read only. Then the next person opens it and it says it will remove the signature if you edit this file. How do you stop it from doing
that and get to pass on. Also, right before I signed I got an error. I've enclosed both screen shots of what I am talking about.

One person on one computer adding multiple electronic IDs or signatures to one document

I recently created a simple form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. It has several places for signatures. I sent along with the form the Adobe user guide instructions for creating electronic IDs and signatures. However, in several instances, our executives have given their administrative assistants permission to sign for them. The assistants are also required to add their own signatures. Apparently, when they click on any signature field, their bosses' signatures come up. Can someone tell me how one person can create multiple electronic signatures and be able to select from among them in order to fill out one of these forms?

When a user is signing a form, the digital certificates that are installed (in Acrobat) on the computer being used to sign the PDF will be available to be used to create the signature. If only the "bosses" certificate is on the machine, this will be the only on available. Make sure all certificate that could be used to sign are installed on the machine being used to sign.
This screen shot is from the security settings in Acrobat, it shows multiple certifcates are installed.
And here is the signature dialog with the option to use one of the installed certificates on the machine...
Hope this helps.

Newbie question re: electronic signature

I have a few questions regarding electronic signature in a form I'm developing.
The form will require multiple electronic signatures .. one from the original user making a request, 2 more from approvers, and a final from the person fulfilling the request. I've defined the 4 signature fields, but in testing, when I electronically sign the first, it forces a save of the document at that point. That's not a killer, and after reading some related threads I understand why. But when I re-open the saved document to add an approving signature, I find the entire doc is now locked from accepting any further activity. BTW, approvers will have to complete additional fields along with adding their signature.
On a related note, whenever a signature is added, I need to automatically populate a "signature date" field. I found another thread in this forum that purported to give an example, but the example didn't work in practice, and the document was protected, so I couldn't open it for editing to examine the code. When dealing with the code, I'm not a java programmer but have a heavy programming background in several other languages, so expect I can understand fragments and be able to pick up what I need fairly easily.
Any and all help will be appreciated.

If you have EP installed on Windows you can use the same server for your .net applications, but may be your server will need more memory or processor.
You can check the EP PDK for VStudio.net documentation, this document explains how works the integration with .net, for example, IIS is not need it, but you have to have a Windows 2003 server with .net framework installed, this is a fragment of the documentation: "The SAP Enterprise Portal acts as the only web server, therefore IIS is neither needed nor used."
I didn't found any information about performance or salability, I don't know if SAP will release something in the future.

PDF, with electronic signature, will not save. In Finder it's nowhere, tried multiple times..

Started in Preview to save...but PDF, with electronic signature, will not save. In Finder it's nowhere, tried multiple times.

I am having the same problem with signatures. I am including a form in a pdf portfolio to collect signatures from different users who have Reader. I make sure that features have been extended for reader. Most of the time they are okay. But every once in a while (at least one every two weeks) I get a user telling me they can't sign. No message or error of any kind, just a quick blink but no signature. As a work-around I've had to save a copy and re-extend features. This can be time consuming when there are a few documents I need to circulate. Please advise.

General questions regarding capturing electronic signatures

Hi Guys,
Have some questions....
Are electronic signatures supported in BPM and if yes any idea what types of signature? what standards are used, whether they are legally accepted and whether this is part of the package or a separate application.
can the processes support multiple signatures at multiple stages, signifying different levels of approval?
Could you provide some idea on how electronic signatures are recorded and retained and how the process or document remains fixed once signed?
Thanks in advace.

this is more application related. nothing to do with BPM.

Electronic signature in merged documents?

I am trying to create a new document using multiple files. Some of these files contain electronic signatures. Can the electronic signatures be preserved in the merged document?

A digital signature applies to an entire document. If you somehow combine documents that contain digital signatures, any signatures cannot be verified since the document to which they apply has been changed.
You can add documents to a PDF as file attachments (aka embedded files), which is what you do when you create a portfolio. The individual documents can later be extracted and any signatures can be verified.

Acrobat 11.0.7 electronic signature error, "There was an error when attempting to commit this signature".

Since updating to Acrobat 11.0.7, the electronic signature function has broken. Users receive an error message when trying to insert an electronic signature "There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder. The document could not be signed. HFT error. This file is already open or in use by another application."
Error occurs even after saving the PDF locally and renaming. This issue is affecting multiple users and has never occurred in previous versions of Acrobat installed. Temporary workaround is to rollback users to Acrobat 11.0.6.

Can you try to manually download and install the update from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5000

Connecting to an Electronic Signature Pad

Hello,
We have just purchased Acrobat 9.0 Pro for our business and are trying to get it to work with an electronic signature pad. Both the ignature pad and Acrobat are installed and working: I was told by multiple different personel that Acrobat would work with an electronic signature pad. However, I am not able to get the epad and acrobat to talk to each other. I have tried going to Edit->Preferences->Security (Advanced Settings) -> Create -> Signature Default drop-dpwn menu, but it is not allowing me to connect. The ePad is supposed to be compatilbe with Acrobat, and I was, as mentioned above, told that Acrobat would work with an ePad. I am not opposed to returning the pad IF I have to and purchasing one through Adobe, but as far as I know they do not sell hardware. Help appreciated!

Did Adobe tell you the pad was compatible or somebody else. Personally, I'd recommend you drop the electronic pad idea and switch to digital signatures.

I have adobe Acrobat - I am trying to do a electronic signature and its is asking for a passwork

I am trying to sign a document that is protected from an university. It is asking me for a password to put in my electronic signature. I don't have that password and it isn't the one for my account

Hi Estella,
It sounds like the university has disallowed signing in this particular document, unless you have Document Permissions password. You will have to ask the person who created the document what the password is, so that you can sign the document.
I wish I had a different answer for you--but there's no way around that without the document password.
Best,
Sara

Can I open a Reader 9 Document with electronic signatures in Reader 10?

I currently have an Adobe Reader 9 document with fields filled out and also with several electronic signatures.
I need to be able to edit this document.
My understanding is that I can only edit or add the typewritter tool only when using Reader 10.
So couple of questions. First, will I be able to open this Reader 9 document using Reader 10?
Second, will I be able to add the typewritter tool once I download Reader 10?
Third, will I be able to make changes to existing form field data, once I add the typewritter tool?
Fourth, will this process invalidate the digital signatures already authenticated?

The "Typewriter tool" is only available in Acrobat Pro. Reader 11 DOES have the ability to "Add text comments" to a PDF but it isn't exactly the same thing. I'm unsure if "comments" will print or not.

How do I add an electronic signature to a document?

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. How do I add an electronic signature to a document?

Sergio
Glad you stepped in and elucidated my inadequate explanation.
Step by Step explanations of the problem will get Step by Step instructions, but its been a week and the O.P. hasn't elaborated on what they actually want.
You may consider it a horrible answer, what was your opinion of the question?

PS I looked hard but couldn't find a reference to Preview in my post.
