Multiple signatures on PDF Form

I need to solve this last issue so I can put our digital signature initiative to rest.
I have attached a sample of the kind of form we need to be able to create. The first section of this form is an approval document, the second part is a closure record.
I need to be able to lock all of the fields above the first set of signature blocks when first digitally signed but not the entire form. I need the second part on page three to be locked when the digital signature is applied.
Right now any digital signature either locks the entire form (keeping others from signing) or does nothing (allowing anyone to change the content) based on the switch in the signature block object palette Signature tap Lock Fields After Signing checkbox.
I know I can cut the form in half and create two documents but this does not alleviate the problem of needing the data fields to be locked and multiple signers to be able to do so.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Srini,
This is what I did, for anyone else with the same issue:
Tocreate signature fields in LiveCycle Designer:
Highlight the field. In the Object pallet Type field, select: Document Signature Field.
On the Document Signature tab, make sure that Lock Fields After Signing is not checked.
These fields are a quick way for users to add a digital signature in Adobe Reader.
This seems to work well. I appreciate the help.
Just to bring it full circle, how do you delete a document signature field? Haven't found it in the Help.
Thanks much!

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Need multiple signatures on one form

Hi
I am very new to LiveCycle Designer, and do not have ES, and probably cannot get it. I have created a form that needs to accept multiple signatures from 6 or more people. The form was initiated from a Word-generated PDF.
I created a table that has four columns, one for the person's title, another for the signature, the remaining columns are irrelevant for this discussion. The person associated with the "title" signs in the Signature column in that same row. In the PDF version of the form, Acrobat 9 allows two signatures, but no more. How can I get Acrobat to accept signatures for all 6+ individuals? The two sigs I got were in subsequent rows. If I can get Acrobat to accept additional sigs, do the sigs need to take place in strict order (1st row, 2nd row, 3rd row...), or can the signers sign in any table row?
Please let me knowif you have additional questions for me that can help you understand how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
AR

Multiple print for pdf form retains the value from previous!

Hello All,
We have developed Adobe Print Forms for our business requirements.
When we try to print these forms from the direct transaction, it prints fine. But when we try to select multiple forms to be printed with one transaction, the pdf form generated has data from all the selection!
Eg: Form printed properly for Delivery Note through transaction VL02N.
The same form when we try to print for multiple deliveries from transaction VL71, i retains the data and prints one huge form having all delivery data!!
Please help us out in this issue and let us know what is tha we are missing in this process!
Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Hi ,
i think that the problems comes form the data you give to the form, do you make a refresh of internal table before populated them ...

Non-Digital Signature on PDF Form

I've created a form and have a space where a signature is needed. I'd like to use the signature field, but when my audience tested it the box was blank and did not allow them to upload a digital signature or go through the adobe security signature process (which it did for me). This could be because they are only looking at it in Reader. Nonetheless, here's my question:
Is there a way to create a signature field where they can either upload their own electronic signature (like from a .jpg file) or let them sign it with a different font?
Or do I just leave the signature field off, let them print it and hard sign the form, scan it and email it back?
Help!

Recent versions of Acrobat can use digital certificates to sign PDF forms with a digital signature field.
Only Reader version XI can use a digital certificate to sign a PDF form with a digital signature field only if the form does not have Extended Reader Rights. Older versions or Reader cannot sign with a digital certificate.
If you need this or all versions or Reader you either need to use Echosign or other signing service or purchase a LIveCycle Server product to apply the special right for digital certificate signing. But this will be costly.

Digital Signature Interactive PDF form

Hi
I am Trying to make an Interactive PDF form with a functionality to Display and hide Specific Fields Using a Button
Is It possible to Digitally Sign such a PDF
If it is
Will the signature be removed once i Activate the Interactive Functionality from the form of Display\Hide a field ?

To further elaborate:
There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm
Questions though:
(1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!
(2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.
Thanks again,
Jonathan

How to send digital signature from pdf form to fdf file?

Hi...
I already create the pdf form that contain digital signature field using ACROBAT XPRO...and now i would like to send data from pdf form to fdf file.I already manage to send data from other field except the digital signature.How to send the signature digital value to FDF file so that i can display it back to PDF file next time?Can anyone help me...i really need help right now...
tq..

hi....
thanks for replying..
George Johnson wrote:
It did work with earlier versions that did not perform a full save when a signature was applied. Since Acrobat/Reader now do a Save As when a signature is applied, there are no incremental saves to include in the FDF. This can still be useful for forms that haven't been signed, oddly enough, but since you cannot control whether the user performs a full save, it shouldn't be relied on for general use. The big problem is extracting the appended saves from the FDF so you can concatenate it to original document. The FDF Toolkit is the only thing I'm aware of that helps with this.
as u said that,Fdf tool kits can help to solve my problem.Can u send me the sample of code using java so that i can get the value using Fdf Tool kits?
Thanks..

Multiple Pages in PDF Form

I have a PDF form that has a total of 5 pages with text fields and navigation buttons. I would like the form to hide/unhide pages based on user input. For instance, the user will start on page 1. Once the user completes all the fields on page 1 the user will click on a button I laid out at the button of the page called "Next" and at this point a validation script should be triggered when the users clicks on the button to make sure all fields are completed before showing the information to be completed in Page 2. Basically I'd like my form to guide the user to the next page as long as the previous required fields are completed before the next page is shown (unhidden). If the fields from the previous page are not completed then the next page(s) will remain hidden.
How can I go about designing my form to do just that? Any and all your advise, input and help is greatly apreciated!
Omar

Sounds like you need to use some javascript triggers. I think there is supposed to be a Scripting Forum in the Adobe forums.
at top of this page below your Avatar look for :
Adobe Forums > Acrobat > Acrobat Macintosh > Discussions
Click on Adobe Forums That will take you back to forums home page from that point you just have to look to find it.

How to retrieve the multiple rows data on PDF form in a web service method using WSDL DataConnection

How to retrieve the multiple rows data on PDF form in a web service method using WSDL DataConnection.
I have a multiple rows on PDF form. All rows have 4 textfields. I want to submit the multiple rows data to a method defiened in webservice.
Unable to retrieve the data in multiple rows within webservice method.

Hi Paul,
I'm now able to save the retrieved xml in a hidden text field and create dynamic table, and I'm able to fill this table from the XML, but the problem is that I could not find the correct way to loop on the xml, what I'm trying to say, the table will have number of rows with the data of the first row only, so can you tell me the right way to loop on the xml!
this is my code
TextField1.rawValue=xmlData.document.rawValue;
xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(TextField1.rawValue, true, false);
for(var i=0; i<count; i++)
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Num").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.num.value;
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Name").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.name.value;
Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
Thanks

Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

Hello all!
I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe. I have Acrobat X Pro. I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form. Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file. Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?) I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly. My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address. Any help would be much appreciated!
Mike

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

Submitting a Signed PDF form in Workflow

Hello,
Is there anyone experienced submitting signed PDF form in workflow?
We have tried to use a PDF form designed using AFD 5.0 along with AWS 6.2 to automate the approval process. But when the initiator signs the document, using the signature object, and then submit it, the next participant will get the form with empty signature filed.
Additionally, when you sign the form, you get the green check mark, then when you submit the form, it seems that the submit will change the data in the form and the green check mark will convert into gray question mark.
You help is highly appreciated.
PS: anyone there used Biometric Signature tools (such as CyberSIGN, CIC, or SoftPro) to digitally authenticate signers/signatures in PDF forms/document and used it in a workflow or web applications?
Regards,
Yasser

If you have access to Acrobat, it would be possible to set up the form so that an automatically generated unique identifier is include in a (hidden) field so you could identify multiple submissions from a particular instance of a form. You could remove all but the most recent record from the response table to keep the summary reports current. If you'd like more info, post again.

Submitting a PDF form via HTTP Post: Beginner's Questions

Hi,
I am completely new to PDF forms, so I have been finding the documentation and options overwhelming.
I am hoping to get pointed to the documentation/tutorials/examples I really need.
I would like to build a "proof of concept" for my boss. I would like to include a screen in our Java ( JSP & Spring ) webapp where either a PDF form is embedded or is accessed via a link.
I have
Adobe Acrobat Distiller X standard license
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Microsoft Office 2010
I made a small, 3 field Microsoft Word form. I then converted it via DIstiller into a PDF form.
I then found this document about how to submit a PDF form to a server side component:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
My big problem with this document it doesn't have an example nor an example showing what is going on in a full HTML page. As I result I have some questions:
Can I see such an example somewhere?
Does the call to the javascript function doc.SubmitForm(urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page like other javascripts?
Can I execute that submit function from an HTML button or do I need to put a "submit" button on the PDF form?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle in order to create a PDF form with a "submit" button? Free versions?
Can I send via HTTP POST ?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to crate a PDF form with a digital signature?
Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I am starting off from? ( Please no books, I am tyring to show my boss that this is something that can be done, in a reasonable amount of time, not time to get and go through a book ).
Thanks in advance for any tips that get me pointed in the right direction
Steve

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.

Multiple signature PDF form without saving as a new PDF form

I know that when you sign a PDF form and hit save it opens up a window wanting to save a new PDF in a new location. What I would like to do is have a PDF form in one location on a server where everyone can open the PDF form. sign the PDF and then just hit save to keep the PDF as one PDF and not create a new PDF every time someone signs the PDF. IS this Possible?

Hi josec36427220,
Yes, it is possible. you just need to hit save in the save as window. do not add anything to the file name and it would keep on replacing the old one.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh
