Multiple page signature fields

I'm trying to get multiple signature fields on multiple pages, and when I sign one... all of them are signed exactly the same, so I don't have to go to each page and select my signature, I'm working with documents that are large, so it takes a long time to sign each page. I can't have signature fields the same name, and I can't copy or replicate the fields onto other pages. I'm using Acrobat X

OK. Since you just need to have the appearance of a signature and since it doesn't need to work with Reader, you can set up an icon-only button, duplicate it to the pages it needs to be on, and use the following JavaScript in the MOuse Up event:
// Mouse Up script for button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This will present the user with a file browse dialog, allowing them to select an image, page from a PDF, etc. to use as the source for the button icon. You'd just need to create images of the signatures for the user to select.
You can optionally set the button to read-only if you want to prevent changes.

Acrobat 8 Standard - Add multiple blank signature fields

Hello. I remember in prior versions of Acrobat being able to add several blank signature fields for others to sign at a later time. I am unable to figure out how to do this using Acrobat 8 Standard. Would someone please help? Thanks.

No version of Acrobat Standard provides the full functionality of Acrobat Pro.
The Pro release always provides more.
If you want to create PDF forms that can be filled in and saved by others who use Adobe Reader you must use Acrobat X Pro (to "reader enable" the PDF).

PDF template : how to have a multiple pages repeating field group

Hello,
I'm trying to create a PDF template.
My problem is that my repeating field group is composed of 2 pages, so what my request has to generate will be N * 2 pages.
But when I put the <?rep_field="BODY_START"?> and the <?rep_field="BODY_END"?> on two different pages, I can't generate the output.
It looks like those BODY_START and BODY_END has to be on the same page.
Could anyone confirm and/or provide help regarding my issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nicolas

Nicolaus, it appears as if Oracle is not willing to support templates generated using Adobe. They give us over a hundred pages on how to define an rtf template and then spend a measly 15 pages on PDF Templates. I have been successful in creating their example using the PO in the User Guide, but unsuccessful in repeating the outer group(which they don't tell you how to do or provide examples). So in summary you can print one PO at a time and the feature works great, but try to print more than one and you are screwed. Maybe it is time for someone from Oracle to make a post and make a believer out of all of us.

Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

Hello,
I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs. I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process. Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields? We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads. I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
Many thanks to the forum!
Regards,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.

However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
Kind regards

Digital signature fields in AutoCAD?

Is there any way to insert a digital signature field in AutoCAD and then make the PDF? That way it is ready for the engineer's electronic digital signature and timestamp?

No. You can't have multiple digital signature fields with the same namein the same document as you can with other types of fields. Since a digital signature applies to the entire document, not just a page, pages, or section of a page, it doesn't really make sense.

Digital Signature Fields

Can digital signature fileds be linked in on document so that when one is signed the rest are also signed?
Thanks

Digitally Sign All Signature Fields in the Active Document

I have a script which will sign a single digital signature field by the field name.
I need to revise the script so it will sign multiple/all signature fields in the active document without having to put the field name in the script, as the field names will vary with each document.
Can anyone please advise how to modify the script to sign all fields in the active document regardless of the field name?
function myOtherTrustedFunction()
app.beginPriv();
// Get and login to security handler
var oSigHdlr = security.getHandler( "Adobe.PPKLite" );
oSigHdlr.login( "123","/c/Documents and Settings/name/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/Security/FirstNameLastName.pfx");
// Setup Signing Properties
var chk = this.getField("Checked");
if (chk != null) {
// Apply Signature and save back to original file
var bRtn = chk.signatureSign({oSig:oSigHdlr, bUI:false, oInfo:{password:"123"}});
app.endPriv();
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Thank you for your help, the script will now count only the signature fields which have not been signed.
I have added the second part of the script to then sign all of the blank signature fields.
The script is only signing one of the digital signature fields instead of all of the blank signature fields.
Can you please advise how I can modify the script to sign all of the blank signature fields?
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    // Get the current field object
    f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    // If it's a signature field and not already signed, increment counter
    if (f.type === "signature" && !f.value) {
        count++;
var myEngine = security.getHandler( "Adobe.PPKLite" );
myEngine.login( "123", c/Documents and Settings/name/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/Security/FirstNameLastName.pfx" );
// Sign the field
f.signatureSign( myEngine,{password: "123"});

Adding Digital Signature Fields to Multiple Pages in a Document

Hello,
I have a batch processing java script which will place digital signature fields in a drawing.
Sometimes the drawing could have multiple pages and the script needs to place the digital signature fields onto each page.
The problem with the script I have is that the digital signature fields are only appearing on the first page.
Can anyone please provide assistance with modifying my script so that the digital signature fields appear on every page?
// Drawing signature field rev 0
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked", "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed", "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App", "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App", "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Thanks very much.

Just index the field names:
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Tho there's no point in signing each page in the same document, tho I also see engineering folk do this. They just love signing every data sheet.
And the result will not be good. Each signature will cause a problem/alert for the previous signatures.
Care to indicate your engineering company?

How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
Caroline

Hey Mandy,
Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
Thx,
C

? 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 ;)

Multiple Page Contents Page Fields In Custom Page Layout SP2013

I'm rather new so bare with me. I'm trying to add multiple page content page fields with snippets to a custom page layout html file in SP2013 Designer. Once I add the snippet and publish, I review the page and any text written
in the last created page content box saves for both page content boxes instead of saving unique text in both. How do you change the snippets to where they are unique snippets and won't be referenced as the same one?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Clear Signature unlocks form fields when using multiple signature fields

I am having issues with putting multiple signature fields in a pdf document, and upon signing locking all but the unsigned signature fields. But when someone clears thier signature, it unlocks all the fields, but not the previously filled in signature fields. Is there an answer to that? Seems like a bug.
I am using Acrobat pro x to create the document and save with extended features and require that the first signature locks all fields EXCEPT the remaining signature fields. This works ok until someone clears thier signature and all fields are unlocked and editable. But it DOES NOT clear the signature fields of the people who previously signed the document, which looks like anyone who wants can clear thier signature block and edit the form and the people who previously signed the document still have thier signatures on the modified document. Is this proper functionality?

Please repost in the Acrobat Scripting forum.

Help with header field on multiple pages

I am trying to print three multiple page documents. The first document in the dat file has data in a header comment field. The last two documents in the dat file do not have data for the header comment field. On the form I have defined this comment field as global. When I print the documents the first document comment is being printed on the last two documents that should not have comments.
If I remove the global condition for the comment field, then the comment is only printed on the first page of the first multiple page document. Is it possible to print the comment on each page of the first multiple page document and not print the comment on the documents that should not have a comment? Thanks for any help.

Got it. Thank you. I'm having one other problem though. I
keep getting this bizare message every time i save or try to use
the template:
The is an error at line 41 column 7 (absolute position 2486)
of "~pathandfilename.dwt": Nested editable regions
The only thing at line 41 is the <body> tag. I took all
the formating out to try to trim this out... any thoughts about
this one.
Thanks G

Page rotation and signature field

Hello,
I'm requesting some help because I spent too much time comparing my PDFs to see where I am wrong.
I got a document with a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees for every pages. The conforming readers apply the
rotation to display the content in a readable fashion.
So, when I sign the document (with a visible signature field), the signature visual representation is rotated. I got back to ISO 32000-1
and discovered the MK dictionary of widget annotations (table 188).
Here is an example of the widget annotations I'm producing now:
5651 0 obj
<</MK <</R 90>>/F 4/Type /Annot/Subtype /Widget/Rect [100.0 475.0 356.0 731.0 ]/FT /Sig/DR <<>>/T (Sign5929838)/V 5649 0 R/AP <</N 5661 0 R>>/P 5629 0 R>>
endobj
But the signature representation is not correctly aligned.
I compared to what Acrobat 8 Professional is doing. Until now, I found no differences, but those signatures are correctly aligned.
5636 0 obj
<</Rect[39.8122 525.182 153.319 702.22]/Subtype/Widget/F 132/P 5634 0 R/T(Signature2)/V 5660 0 R/DA(/MyriadPro-Regular 0 Tf 0 Tz 0 g)/FT/Sig/Type/Annot/MK<</R 90>>/AP<</N 5637 0 R>>>>
endobj
(Acrobat is re-ordering objects before saving the file)
Well, I think I need some fresh look to understand when I went wrong.
Here are the complete files:
http://www.terafiles.net/v-121441.html (by me)
http://www.terafiles.net/v-121442.html (by Acrobat)

Ok, I finally found out what's going on backstage.
The /R entry of the MK dictionary is just some informative statement. It does not make the PDF reader tilt the signature field.
Acrobat modifies the current transformation matrice to do so.
It's sad it's not clearly stated in the ISO standard...
