Multiple users filling in and signing PDF

Hi =)
I'm currently making a form in Livecycle Designer ES4 that is supposed to be filled in and signed by several users. The workflow is like this:
                                   Phase 1:                                                  Phase 2:                                                             Phase 3:
                                                          ->                                               ->
                         user 1 fills subform 1,                               user 2 fills subform 2,                           user 3 signs*** and keeps the final document
                      signs* and sends to user 2;                      signs** and sends to user 3;
And I'm struggling with Phase 2 because user 2 modifies the form and the first user's signature becomes invalid.
Note:
* locks fields of subform 1
** locks fields of subform 1 and 2
*** locks all document
I want user 1 to be responsible only for the content in subform 1 and the other two users to be responsible for the entire document.
Is this possible? If so, how can I make this work?
..can someone help me?
Thank you =)

Two things:
1) In the signature properties you specify which fields you wish to lock with each signature.
2) The signature will appear as invalid unless it's certified, when you certify you can specify what changes like form field entry is allowed to remain a valid document

Create a Form in Acrobat Standard that can be filled out AND SIGNED using Free Reader

I am tasked with creating forms that can be read, filled out and signed and submitted electronically by users that have only the reader software. I am using Acrobat 5 standard. I have not yet found a way to successfully create a form field that would allow users to insert a signature of some sort. This signature does not have to be encrypted, or use the digital signature system Adobe Acrobat has where you create a profile, log in, etc. It could be as simple as the ability to insert a jpeg or other image of their handwritten signature. This is to avoid having to have them fill it out, and then print it and fax or scan it in. It would be great if they could fill it out and then just save it and email it. How would I do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks,
JOhn

With AA5, there is no capability to submit a signature - even electronic. You can create a form that can be filled out, signed in the sense of adding a name and date, and submit to a web site.
Insertion of images is not part of forms with AA5, but I think has become possible recently. Even so, they reader would also have to be compatible with the feature to be able to use it. If the typing of the name and the date would do, then you can add those fields - sort of the limit with AA5.
With AA5, they can not save the form with the data. They can submit the data as an FDF file to a web site. If you have control of the client machines, then you can consider e-mail since those issues can be worked out locally. Without control of the clients (like a general form on the web), don't bother with e-mail since there will always be some that have problems.

Printing and Signing PDF Security Questions

Hi,
I noticed one of the PDF security features for Acrobat 8.0 is to set the printing permissions between "None", "150 DPI", and "High Resolution". However, when I print between two PDF's with 150 DPI and max resolution, I honestly can barely notice the difference between the two (the 150 DPI is "slightly" worst, i.e. letters are slightly more jaggedly). I was wondering is this normal, as I was hoping the lower setting would make the printout hard to read, not just a "quick-print" (I used a Laser Printer with 1200 DPI). I don't mean to make a big deal out of it, but I personally do not think this a very useful feature from a security standpoint.
Secondly, I'm having trouble creating signable PDF's. I basically want the file to only allow a user to sign, and nothing else, so I set the "Changes allowed" to just "filling in forms and signing existing signature fields". But doesn't seem to work, because instead I have to set it to allow "any except extracting page". Only then can I sign the PDF, but then this also allows it to be changed (which I don't want). Is there something wrong with what I'm doing? Any help is appreciated!

It's a very common question, and as Michael says there's not a lot you can do. Even doing the imposition yourself is unlikely to help, as most commercial raster image processors (RIPs - the software which turns your document with its fonts, graphics etc into the pattern of dots needed to physically generate the image on the printing drum) need unencrypted files.
If the print shop has an ad-hoc workflow which supports encryption (such as printing direct from Acrobat in the way desktop users do), there are plugins for Acrobat to handle the page imposition; but it's not something native to the application and the printer will have to give you very precise directions as to what layout to create. Many print shops won't entertain that idea unless there's an overriding commercial reason, as it's too much hassle for them to deal with errors in the client plates. Worth asking, but I doubt they'll agree to it.
Given the need to send unsecured files to an external contractor for printing, your "protection" is in the form of the contract, not digital encryption. The former can be settled in court if they break the terms, the latter can be bypassed in ten seconds and you'll probably never know. If the files are truly too sensitive to send to anyone, it's time to get yourself a laser printer - these days the machines many local print shops rely on are in essence a color photocopier, and you can rent them for about the same price.

Users can no longer sign PDF's

We have a Windows Certificate server that assigns certificates to all our users. Users have always been able to sign PDF's with Adobe Reader using this certificate. Last week they started to not be able to sign. When they go to sign a PDF it used to bring up a box and the certificate was selected. Now it brings up a box that says " I want to sign this document using:" but you can't select the certificate.
Nothing changed as far as the server goes and it looks fine and I can see the certificates are loaded on the PC.
Any ideas???

Hi presbell,
Acrobat/Reader will not allow you to sign a PDF file using a certificate that asserts CA=true in the Basic Constraints extension. You can only use an end-entity certificate.

Best way to assign multiple users security, privileges and workbook shares.

Is there another way to assign multiple users to a single workbook other than using the workbook management option. Something that can be done from the command line? How about assigning security and privileges from the command line?

You could consider altering the appropriate EUL tables directly - I'm sure someone has the code for this - but requires database interaction (and might not be supported by Oracle, etc.).
However, the concept or Oracle responsibilities (in Oracle Apps EUL) or Oracle roles (in Oracle database) is what's usually done. In fact, I don't like using users directly as if they go, etc. it's a pain.
Better to use pre-defined groupings that you probably already have (ie: Apps responsibility such as: AP Inquiry). You set the privs / security there and it takes effect for all users logging in with that responsibility / role.

Create and sign PDF with IAC?

Hello, does anybody know, how to create simple PDF and sign it with X509Certificate from .NET managed application? It seems to me, that it is not possible with Acrobat Interapplication Communication API. Do I really need LiveCycle for this operation?
Thank you for help.

When you say "create", do you really mean "convert some other format to PDF" or did you want to start with a blank page and then do things like "draw string", "draw line", etc?
Will this be a desktop or server-based application?

Does Adobe offer a way for me to put my application on my website so they can fill out and sign?

Does Adobe offer a way for me to put my application on line for a driver to complete and sign?

Hi,
Please try with Adobe EcohSign.

Acrobat Pro: Create PDF Form Export so it's not editable User fills out and info is emailed back to me

I have zero experience with PDF forms. A client needs to have the email addresses changed in an older PDF form, so I've opened it in Acrobat Pro, changed the existing email addresses and am now stuck. How do I save it so it's not editable by the end-user? Everything I've tried (Distribution via email, flattening, security) have not worked; either the form fields get stripped out or I receive nothing via email and I can still open the distributed form and edit the fields.
I need it so the end-user will view the form in their browser
Fill out the fields
Click submit and the info is sent back to me via email.
If they download the PDF they can NOT edit it.
Thanks!
Tim

Open the PDF and do the following: File> Save As> Reader Extended PDF> Enable Additional Features

How to: have multiple users on reader and pro fill out same form

I have a marking form that 5 users will use to mark to questions each and fill in. Having an issue with the reader users that when they same they create a new file and can't save to the one form. All the pro users can share the form fill in their two questions and then pass on to another user who updates the form the adobe reader user however creates a new file. Is there anyway around this other then all using pro.
It is not always the same markers I will have up to fifteen markers.

Not an easy way. You'd need to create a server that the applets would connect to and then you could potentially have several players. But it involves changing your applet's design and doing a lot of networking and other such stuff, so it's not something you can whip up in a couple of weeks (if you don't have any experience on those things).

Apple id with multiple users of Macs and device with ML

If a house has three Macs, (John' and, Jan's MacBook Pros and. A MacBook Air (to share)) An iPhone and ipad each.
If we have use same Apple ID for music, apps etc. will all notifications of each others mail etc get sent to all macs and devices?
While using Pages etc. will each others documents turn up on other's machine and devices?
Is there a manual that addresses such issues.
OR do the two have to have two appleids and payout for applications twice?
Hope this makes sense

You can use different Apple ids for iTunes and iCloud in the same account. That way you can share purchases while keeping the documents and messages separate. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895 for instructions on setting it up.
