No signature pain in Adobe Reader XI

Why is it that if you have a submit ( by email ) button on a form, the options for adding a writen or typed signature are greyed out and you can only add a digital signature when filling it with Adobe Reader 11, but you can put a writen signature on the form if you are using the Adobe Reader App for iOS or Android?

When you use Kaspersky software install the updates from Kaspersky.

Signature option in Adobe Reader.

Why is the signature option in Adobe Reader one "greyed out" for iPad users, you can no longer access your signatures and add them to a document ?

Hi F & F,
If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4 Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

It isn't signing in. I hope someone can explain this better than me but it goes something like this.
To sign you make a certificate. Either you buy the certificate from a trusted source, or you make a special public certificate, and send that to all your contacts. This sending is special - you can't just email it, because it could be a fake. People need to know it's real, perhaps by arrangement.
Anyway, people are now set to look at a PDF which says YOU signed it. They can check if the certificate you used matches the public certificate you sent. If it does, the file is unaltered. If it doesn't it is a fake. Plus, there is a third case - it might be your real signature then someone changed the PDF. But thanks to the certificate, when you validate you are told about that too.
Certificates, the law, signing and that area are complex, and you need to understand before you start. It's easy to make worthless signed documents.
By the way, I've no idea if any of this clever stuff works on iOS!!

Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat". This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Regards,
KVD

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

Signature issue in Adobe Reader XI (Unable to sign)

I have Adobe Reader XI installed both on my work laptop and my home PC.
I have the same PDF document on both my home computer and work laptop. (and yes, I have sent a new copy of the working document to my work computer to ensure it hasn't been modified or changed). It is the exact same document.
I open it at home and I have the ability to sign the PDF document and then use the save as option to save a copy of the signed document, and I have done so to submit it on weekly basis. (A time sheet).
I was able to do so at work maybe 2 or 3 times and then one time when opening Reader, a popup appeared for an update for Adobe Reader in my notification area and I installed the update from adobe.com. Ever since I installed that update, now when I open the same document at work, both the Place Initials and Place Signature options are both grayed out and I have not been able to figure out why. I have gone through all the preferences and settings and I can't find anything that would account for them being disabled.
I have not installed the update on my home system for fear of the same issue occurring. (I need to be able to submit that time sheet) and I would like to regain this ability on my work laptop. Can anyone provide any ideas on why I would suddenly lose the ability to sign a PDF document that shows under the document properties as available to be signed. (ie: Signing: Allowed).
I have tried uninstalled and re-installing Adobe Reader on the laptop. Same issue.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

This is definitely a set up issue and User might have unintentionally assigned the port belonging to someother printer to this printer on his machine.
This is a setup issue and completely unrelated to Adobe reader. You may infact verify from some other non-Adobe Applications.
Thanks,

Validate signature automatically on Adobe Reader X

Hi!
Adobe Reader 9 auto validates the document signature without doint nothing (only opening the pdf).
With Adobe Reader X the signature appears with a green tick but it says "Signature not verified", and I need to click on it to verify it.
The certificate it's trusted and on the Preferences / Security we have set "Verify Signatures when opening document" (sorry if not it's the exact phrase, I have the spanish version).
Someone could tell me how to say to Adobe Reader X to work as the 9 version did ?
Regards,

Well, I will try to explain a bit better.
Adobe Reader X and 9 shows a top bar with information about the document it's signed and the signature it's ok.
In the body of the document it's one object with information related to the signature as this image:
On Reader 9 it automatically changed to Signature Verified without touching nothing. On Reader X we need to press on this object to verify the signature another time and to change this object text to Signature Verified.
Someone knows how to work as Reader 9 did ?
Thanks for reading.

Using a Signature Pad in Adobe Reader Ubuntu Linux??

We are wanting to move away from Window and us Ubuntu Linux on our field computers. The only problem is we have a signature pad and we need that to work in Adobe Reader. We are using a Topaz signature pad. I have been in contact with the company and they have been very helpful. They have a driver for the signature pad in linux but they do not have a plugin for Adobe Reader. Does anyone know a signature pad that will work in Adobe Reader? Does anyone know if there is a plugin for Adobe Reader that may be used to work with the current signature pad we have. Topaz said they can help me get set up to the point of going into Reader but then we would have to go the rest of the way. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

I'm also experiencing the same issue where we go to open a document and it takes a long time to verify each of the signatures. Have you found a solution to this?

How to apply for self-developed plug-in signatures licensing about Adobe Reader

Our company is doing something in the field of electronic certification industry, which uses Adobe reader to sign PDF files based on various signature algorithms. While, there is a problem that Adobe reader does not support PDF signature based on the signature algorithm of SM2. To solve the problem, we have developed an API file. And now, we can use the Adobe Professional version sign files Successfully, only by put the API file under the folder named Adobe plug-in, but not work well in Adobe Reader. According to the documentation, such as http://www.adobe.com/cn/devnet/reader/ikla.html and http://www.adobe..com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/plugin_apps_developer_guide .pdf, in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a self-developed plug-in we have developed need to be signed or obtain the relevant certification by Adobe before use.
If we propose certification and licensing applications to Adobe to ask the possibility of obtaining permission for our plug-in, what are the specific processes and requirements we need to know? Any useful information, I would be grateful. (Including the information we need to provide, as well as the cost and the certification time, etc.)

I think you're more likely to get a reply over at the Acrobat SDK forum: Acrobat SDK

Signature verification in Adobe Reader 10 takes a VERY long time...

I work for a restaurant chain that uses PDFs for their new hire paperwork. We use a signature pad to sign the documents, and the documents have 51 signature boxes. Due to signature verification, it takes an absurdly long time to complete the paperwork (up to 60 minutes). Is there a way to disable the signature verification? It's incredibly frustrating to the management staff to have to sit in the office for an hour just to fill out a document that should only take about 15 minutes.

I'm also experiencing the same issue where we go to open a document and it takes a long time to verify each of the signatures. Have you found a solution to this?

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 Update broke image signatures

I allowed my computer to download and install the latest Adobe Reader XI update, to version 11.0.09. Since doing that, I can no longer sign PDFs. Adobe Reader "forgot" my signature, and prompts me to create a new one, but gives me an error when I try to do so.
The steps I take: I click on Fill & Sign at the upper right. From the Fill & Sign Tools pane, I choose Place Signature. Since Adobe Reader has forgotten my signature, I am prompted by a dialog box that starts with How would you like to create your signature?. I tick the Use an image radio button, then click the Browse... button that appears below it. I choose my signature, which happens to be a BMP file, and click the Open button. Adobe Reader then gives me an error message: This file cannot be used to create a signature. Please select a different file and try again.
I tried converting my BMP file to a TIFF file, but that didn't help.
I need to be able to sign PDF documents again. Is this a bug waiting for a fix, or is there a work-around?
I badly need this feature back again.

Hi, thanks for your prompt responses.
I am a bit perplexed. I take it that, although I have the latest Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10) installed with the latest update 32 and I can open it and use it to read PDF's it is not the correct version for Vista ? As I said when I used the Firefox plug in check, which triggered this whole issue for me, and clicked the red button to update it took me to an Adobe update install page which only offered the 10.1.4 English UK for Windows download (Which you say is actually the correct version for Vista) but this did not complete because it said I have a more functional version already installed which I presume is the 11.0.10 version ?
Do I now need to download the Adobe Reader 'Full Download': Adobe Reader MUI 10.1 - Multiple Languages version 146.67 MB 6/8/2011 or just the Adobe Reader 10.1.4 update, although I may find that I just get the same result as I do using the Firefox update button, it does not complete and I am informed I have a more 'functional version' installed ? Again there are two options for these Updates on the Adobe download page 'All languages' and 'Multi lingual (MUI) installer' and I am not sure what the difference is or , more important, which to use and the Help>About Adobe Reader offers no clue.
Further advice appreciated as I am a bit flummoxed ! Thanks .

Browser-embedded Adobe Reader doesn't permit ink signatures

I'm not sure if this is a feature, a bug or just an annoyance, but we are unable to apply ink signatures to a PDF displayed within a browser window. The same PDF displayed in a standalone Adobe Reader 9 window will allow for ink signatures to be applied to it. Why can documents in browser windows not be ink signed?
This is problematic for us because we are deploying a web-based application which collects a signature on a PDF form, which then contains a button to proceed to the next step and save the form on the server. Using Adobe Reader standalone to view and sign the PDF breaks the functionality of the form and prevents the form being saved correctly.
Colleagues developing the application report that it works successfully using a plugin for a singature pad, but we are using a tablet PC (motion C5) with a pen to apply the ink signature. There does not appear to be a plugin for this. However, we know we can apply ink signatures in standalone Adobe Reader, we simply want the same functionality in the browser-embedded window.
So far, all suggestions we have received involving buying either alternative hardware or alternative software. Neither is very helpful. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround using Adobe Reader? Thanks.

i don't remember how it was formulated exactly. there was no printing option found. that was on my other computer (with XP). but on Windows 7 it won't even open, i'm not even talking about printing, because i wouldn't know. the window simply blank, inactive and immediately closes. online documents load....and in the end just black window or blank Reader page. In IE it gives me "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/ Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (15:3)" - every time...

Using iText to generate a digital signature that can be signed in Adobe Reader

I am able to create a digital signature in a pdf using iText. Adobe Reader does not allow that digital signature to be signed. Everything I have been reading suggests that I need to enabe Reader Usage Rights, but that requires using Adobe Pro. I was hoping that I would only need Adobe Reader inorder to digitally sign the pdf, is that possible?

Not without the required rights...

How Can I stop signature fields disappearing on my IPAD Adobe Reader 11

Hi, I am using trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro. I have converted a Word document to PDF. I have added text fields, Java scripts to automatically add Todays date as default, Form Reset buttons and Signature fields. File is saved as standard save. All of the above is done in Windows 7 environment. On same computer, In Adobe Reader signature fields are visible although I do not have the means to test it. When the same File is emailed and opened on an IPAD using Adobe Reader 11.2, the signature fields are missing. I intend to have my users access the file (and 30 others like this) on an IPAD. Can someone advise how to resolve the missing signature field issue. It appears that Adobe do not help with such issues as it is not considered an installation issue.

Digital signatures are not supported on mobile versions of Adobe Reader. Other PDF viewers like Readdle's PDF Expert treat them like e-signature fields, allowing the user to draw/apply their drawn signature, but this is not the same as a digital signature. Adobe Reader for iOS allows you to add an e-signature, but it doesn't use digital signature fields for this feature. Instead, you tap the screen, choose the annotations icon, and then the signature icon.

Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

Hello all:
I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
Is there away to sign this electronically?
Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
Can I sign with a pen tool with in Adobe Reader 9?
Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
Thanks in advance!!

That depends.
Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
They are different things.
