Multiple users signing the pdf form

I have date fields in the pdf form in which the signed date is inserted when each user signs the form. Although the Digital Signature property in pdf provides date property on the signature image. But we have a business requirement to show date field separately on pdf form. Suppose User1 signs the application and the date is inserted in its corresponding date field. But when User2 signs the application and the date is inserted the signatures of User1 gets invalidated.
Is there any way by which pdf field can be made editable even after one user signs the application?

PDF supports multiple signatures on a single form or document. When using a form, you can use field collections to associate specific fields to a certain signature and lock those fields after signing, while leaving other fields accessible. There are many posts throughout this forum that discusss this functionality, here is one... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769340
As for signature status, applying a second signature (or more) after a form or document has been signed will NOT invalidate the original signature, however it will change the status of the original signature to something like "Valid with signed changes". Each subsequent signature will change the status of the previous signature, but this is not the same as invalidating a signature.
This behaviour is by design as a signature applied to a PDF signs the entire byte range of the PDF, not just a portion of it.

How can multiple users manage the same forms?

We are looking to purchase FormsCenral however after read this FAQ on teams we are confused:
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2903#Q3
How do we manage forms if more than one user needs to make changes to the same forms?

You would have a primary user/e-mail address attached to your FormsCentral account, and you can assign multiple co-authors to any of your forms. They would need to each have a free Adobe ID.
I work in a Higher Education setting, and have co-workers and Graduate Assistants who are co-authors on forms I've produced, so they can each edit and/or view the submitted response tables.
I hope that helps,

Prevent multiple users accessing the same form

hi,
i am working in forms
i have a requirement like this
if more than one user are using the same form and try to access the same record then the second user should not be able to do transaction
he should be popped up with a msg saying that other user is working on it
can any one suggest how to do this in my form
thanks in advance
selvaraj s

That is pretty much exactly the way Forms works automatically.
Two users can use the same form, and can even display the same data record. One of the users can make changes to the record -- Forms locks the row upon the FIRST keystroke in the first field the user begins to change.
Once the row is locked, the second user is free to look at the record, and won't even know if another user has begun making changes. However, if second user tries to change even one field in the record, Forms pops up the message, "Could not reserve record (2 tries). Keep trying? Yes / No"
There are also protections so if the first user actually changes the row and commits, then the second user tries to make a change. Forms will automatically detect whether changes were made, and if so, will undo the change and issue the message, "FRM-40654: Record has been updated by another user. Re-query to see change."
The above automatic processing works very nicely. If it will not work for you, then what is it you need?

How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

Can the individual form response be sent via e-mail to us in the PDF form format (not the raw output we see currently when using e-mail notifcation) each time a user submits a reponse?

Hi, we basically have an on-line job application that we need to be sent to us via e-mail notification every time a user submits a response, not with the raw data output from the form fields like the current e-mail notification setting allows, but as an actual PDF attachment that mirrors the format of the on-line form, with the user response data in it. We need this to be automated and sent to a central HR e-mail to distro to others. It would be essentially the same thing as a user downloading a PDF form, filling it out, then e-mailing it back to us, but using the submit options via the Form Central server instead. Is this even possible and, if so, is there any documentation on it? I have not found anything clear in searching for this same topic.

No this is not possible within Formscentral. You could export a PDF without a submit button (an option when saving your form as PDF) and then in Acrobat add a submit button to your form and have it automatically sent to the email of your choice. This kind of workflow falls outside the scope of Formscentral.

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

I cannot e sign a pdf form

I am logged into my adobe acct so it isnt a question about forgotten passwords-however I cannot e sign a pdf form, why?

I saw the response below on another post and wonder if this will resolve your issue too. Good luck.
The error in Adobe's programming on this page for some users is that what is addressed above is that you cannot enter a password because there is only ONE place that appears....there isn't two visible places that the user can match.
To get around this, first enter your password in the box you can see (first box). Then the work around is that you enter the TAB KEY. This will put you into the next box (that you can't see) and you will re-type your password blindly. Make sure that you are typing it in exactly as the first as you are typing in the proverbial ether. Hit the 'accept' button (or enter or whatever the OK button is for the page--sorry, i don't have the exact reference in front of me--but i think this part is self-explanatory) that you can see. Hope this helps.

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

Signatures at multiple positions in the PDF

Signatures at multiple positions in the PDF. This is mainly a Verification & Validation document,
where signatures will be applied for each Test case present in the document(4 to 5 signatures in a single page).
We have observed that applying a signature for one place involves lots of steps and saving of file each time.
This leads to lot of effort when we have to perform 500+ signatures for a single document.
So do we have any mechanism to get the pre-stored signature with a single button?
Note:
We are using Acrobat 11(Adobe Reader 11)
Steps that we are using for getting a signature are:-
Precondition:(Steps involved in creating Signature)
Steps involved in placing the signature:(It will be performed each time a signature is placed)
Click on Place the Signature button
Identify the location for the signature
Enter the password
Click on OK
Save the file
Thanks
Deepak

From the steps that you described it looks to me that you are using digital signatures. As TSN already noted digital signatures apply to the whole document, not to individual parts of it (like specific pages). The signature appearance exists just as a visual aid to make it obvious for the reader of the document that it is signed. It does not matter on which page a signature appearance is placed.
You can automate the process of signing the document with multiple signatures with JavaScript if you know ahead of time which signing credentials you want to use for each signature, where to place it and with which name to save. To do that you need to be familiar with the JavaScript programming and Acrobat JavaScript API (it is part of the Acrobat SDK which you can download from adobe.com). You can also Google "Acrobat JavaScript API" for more info on specifics.

Save the PDF Form with Field Name

HI Guys,
I have the Requirment in PDF Form.The PDF Form is generated with the Adobe Live Cycle Designer.After generating the PDF Form the user filled the details in the form and save the filled form.while clicking the Save button the default PDF name is displayed in the File name box.The Requirement is iam having one field in the form.The Field name value should needs to displayed in the File name box during saving.Is it possible.Once its possible please let me know.This is needs to be delivered very shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
SatheshKumar R

You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

SAP Cloud SDK : Display more 500+ character in the PDF form in table cell

Hi Experts,
I have requirement in the PDF form.
Scenario:
My custom business object
businessobject DummyObject {
     element ID : ID;
     element FromDate : Date;
     element ToDate : Date;
     node AllActivity [0,n] {
               element ActivityID : ID
               element ActivityType :
               element Note: Note;
The above business object have node level data and i under this node level data Activity Id , Activity Type and Notes associated with that activity as show below.
so as per the above activity i have retrieve the data for the activity and store into my custom business object at node level ( Activity ID , Activity Name , Activity Type and Notes ) that mentioned above screen.
I have created 1 form and design in adobe life cycle just Drag and Drop the element from the DataView.
After completed the print from i have create the preview button to display the data.
Once i have done all the steps to display the form and click click on preview button i can able to see the data but the under the Note field only display the 256 character not more than that but as per the above screen i have entered the Notes with more than 500+ character.
In the form design i have also change the property for Note field to Allow Multiple value and Rich Tech but data is not display with all the character.
Anyone have idea on which data type display the more than 500+ character in the form.
I am using "Note" data type.
Can anyone suggest me what the solution to display the proper value in the form.
Please let me because i am stuck in this issue.
Many Thank,
Mithun

on the BO, add the following line:
[DependentObject(TextCollection)] node Note;
in some BO action, where the copying happens:
var noteFromActivity; // contains the note from the activity
this.Note.Create();
var el_note_text : elementsof this.Note.Text;
el_note_text.LanguageCode = LanguageCode.ParseFromString("EN");
el_note_text.TypeCode.content = "10006";
var text = this.Note.Create(el_note_text);
var content = text.TextContent.Create();
content.Text.content = noteFromActivity.content;
To display the content of the textcollection, use the following SAP embedded component:
/SAP_BYD_APPLICATION_UI/Reuse/Notes/singletextlangedit.EC.uicomponent
In the embedded component properties, set the TextTypeCode property to "10006".
Bind the embedded component using node reference binding to the BO containing the TextCollection
Bind the LanguageCode to a data field containing the language code for english.
Best regards,
Ludger

There are multiple users with the same display name

Hi,
We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
"There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
SELECT
[ProviderDisplayName]
,[DisplayName]
,[HasDisplayName]
,[Domain]
,[AccountName]
,[UniqueUserId]
,[LastSync]
FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'
Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
Best regards

Hi DSW,
Thanks for your post.
In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

If I share an iPhoto library between multiple users, will the Faces, Events, and Places be automatically usable by all users, or will each user have to tag all the photos (e.g. if a user tags a face, will a different user have to do it in their own iPhoto application??

Find my Friends : Support for multiple users under the same Apple ID?

Can multiple users under the same Apple ID use the app to find each other? My daughter uses my Apple ID with her iPod touch which allows me to monitor her purchases but it seems that only one device under an ID can use the app at a time. If that is the case then it is a major disadvantage and I will need to go back to using latitude (or Find My iPhone which also allows me to see where all of my devices are at the same time)

Multiple users on the same ODI installation?

Hi all
is it possible to have multiple users working with the same odi installation? We have a virtualized IT infrastructure (citrix and wmware) where we can have multiple users on the same virtual instance. From our point of view, there is no licencing issue since we have a package covering literally everything.
One of the issues are the config files stored in the installation directory of odi (../bin). Is there a way to tell odi to store them in a different location, eg. the user home?
Thanks a lot
Benno

ODI looks in the current working directory for the configuration files, mostly you would have issues with the snps_login_work.xml and snps_login_security.xml files, but these may be common across all users. (just don't store the username/passwords for the ODI users in them).
The way ODI works, most of what are creating is stored in the repository anyway, it is only local GUI config stuff that may be stored locally.
Short answer, yes, you can, but might need to modify the config files a little to make it work.
