Opening PDF's in Illustrator - Digital signature Issue

Having an Issue with Digital signatures...
Currently we are opening up PDF's into Illustrator and changing some art,  the Digital signature is not showing but its appearing again when the file is made back into a PDF.
Would like the Digital Signature removed but can't do it from Illustrator as its not appearing.
Its not my signature so I can't remove it the normal way by just clearing it from Acrobat???
Any suggestions anyone???

You could open the pdf, in a text editor and remove the code for the signature. Problem with that is the code is hard to find what to delete, as it is not in postscript section, but all scrambled letters(hexadecimal or something like that).
Open the pdf in illustrator, copy all , and paste into a new document, and your signature will be gone.

  • Can't open PDF's in Illustrator CS5

    I have just recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5. Now I cant open PDF's with Illustrator CS5. Right clicking the pdf and selecting "open with" does not show Illustrator in list. Also, I have attempted to browse to the actual Illustrator .exe file and choosing this directly. It will then only open pdf with Acrobat.

    Can you not open pdfs by using the Open command in Illie?
    It sounds like you are on Windows.
    On a Mac you can open files by dragging their icons over the icon of the programme (or an alias/shortcut of it, as in the Dock).
    Not sure if that works on Windows, but give it a try.

    By way of experiment, try disabling the firewall and doing another iTunes download. Are you able to get a working installer this time?

  • How to Create a PDF Document and apply Digital Signature in C# using the Adobe SDK?

    Hi Everybody!
    I have to do two distinct tasks here:
    1) How can I create a PDF document using the Adobe SDK in my .NET Applications(C# - 2.0)?
    I just need a basic sample to create a document with a simple text, for example. I did not find any useful information in the adobe documentation. I have the Acrobat Professional 8.0 in my computer, but it's very dificult to work whith de Acrobat.dll and .NET with a poor documentaion.
    2)How can I apply digital signature in a existent pdf document?
    I need to sign documents using the SDK, just a basic sample in c# would be helpful to start!
    Anybody could help?
    Thank in advance!

    Leonard Rosenthol or anybody that can help, sorry to insist.
    I will explain better my problem:
    I have an ASP.NET WebPAge (C# - 2.0). In this page, the user make a request. The request should generate a PDF document with the informations of the request and with a field to add a digital signature. The document created will be send to a approver that will confirm the approval applying his digital signature (I need to do too, a webpage where the approver open the page, choose the pdf document, and sign, just selecting his own certificate and clicking in the button SIGN... but this is another problem).
    That's the reason that I have to create a PDF document. If I create a WORD or HTML document, and then convert to PDF, how can I add a field to digital signature in this pdf document?
    Is there any solution using Acrobat SDK?
    Thank you very much!

  • Adobe Digital Signature Issue

    Need help. One of our users opens a PDF document in Adobe Reader, signs it with his digital signature, saves it and wants to send it in an emial. When people receive the email his signature is missing. This is something he used to be able to do. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Just try creating that signature again on that form. Sometimes, copy might not do!

  • Pdf fillable form - multiple digital signatures

    I have a fillable pdf form that requires multiple digital signatures. Is there a way to send the form to multiple parties and merge it back to one form upon receipt of the signature from each party? Does that be accomplished with a javascript or do I need to use a different software? Thank you.

    That's not how digital signatures work, so the answer is "no". When multiple people need to sign a document, they need to sign the same document in sequence.

  • NX 7.5 and opening PDF's in illustrator

    Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone one can help me here.
    I work on technical illustrators using NX 7.5 and from that program export the drawings to PDF's.  In the previous versions of NX the PDFs would open in illustrator fine, text would be text, everything else would be vector.
    Now in NX 7.5 when I open the PDF's in illustrator the text is being coverted to outlines, but in the PDF the text is fine, it's text.
    I'm working on a windows 7 64bit computer, and using CS4.
    Any help or suggestions with this would be great.
    Thanks,
    Karleen

    Hi Mylenium,
    I've attached a screenshot of the Export PDF settings.
    I'm not sure about the User symbols in NX -  I just open the drawings and export to PDF and do what I need to do in Illustrator.
    I checked my glyph substitution setting in AI, it was checked and I unchecked it but it did not help.
    As for letting you see a reference PDF I can do that, I don't want to post it online... can I email it to you?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Problems opening pdf's in illustrator.

    When I open a pdf in illustrator, I get many individual objects and numerous squares that contain lots of information (like they have been flattened or merged).  I would really like to get the objects that make up these flattened or merged areas.  Has anyone encountered this before and found a way to get at the other data?

    They would have to save from Illustrator the .pdf with preserve illustrator editing capabilites, or else the file is optimized for .pdf and the layers are flatttened, raster effects & images embedded. Once the file is optimized for .pdf that information is gone.
    If a .pdf preset such as smallest file size was used, then images are not only comprfessed, but converted to RGB.

  • Unable to Sign pdf but can add digital signature, add form data and email

    I created a pdf form in Acrobat Pro 10 and saved using the extended Reader using the Enable Additional Features.  When I access the pdf online, I can add a digital signature, I can fill in all the text and form fields, I can email it, save it etc.  However, if I click on the Sign button, I can't sign it that way (ie the non-digital signature way).
    When I click on the button I get the same security message that I did before I had saved it using the extended reader enabled (security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it).  I CAN add text and add a digital signature though.
    This is SO annoying. 

    I do not understand which "Sign" button are you talking about? When you say "add a digital signature", do you mean signing the document or adding an unsigned signature field for future signing? Please, provide more details.

  • Created a user account for my daughter but itunes will not open, just says something about digital signature policy

    Hi there, newbie here. Wondered if anyone can help, opened another user account for daughter on windows 64, and when we tried to open itunes a message came up saying it could not open because of digital signature policy, when i go back to my user it opens ok.
    Could anyone help.
    Cheers

    am not prepared to enter my credit card also on her account application.
    You can enter it on the registration page then delete it immediately after you complete the registration.
    If I purchase a iTunes card with some credit, can I open the account for her just with the code?
    If you wish. Instead of going to Create new accout, go to Redeem on the main iTunes store screen, enter the code, then select *Create new account*.
    What will happen if the credit on the card gets to zero?
    She will not be able to make a purchase until another gift card is entered or a CC is linked to the account.

  • PDF files crashes with Digital Signature

    Hi,
    I'm using Acrobat 9.1 Pro.  My files are crashing any time I click on "sign document" to add a digital signature.  with the send error box"Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Tried several documents it is all the same. Clicking on any sub-function under the sign menue results in crashing of the file.
    Any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks,

    ...well I guess it was something wrong with my computer that caused this, had problems with my firewall/virus program also and when I got that fixed then the book download worked as it should also.

  • Java 1.6.0.24 deployment - Digital signature Issues

    Hi,
    We're deploying Java Sun 1.6.0.24 for 500 end-users.
    We've followed Note 290807.1.
    1 Instance is working with Java Sun :
    - Instance A : Java Sun 1.6.0.24
    We did the following :
    1) Enter 1st time in Instance A : Java Sun 1.6.0.24 Installed (silent mode installation)
    3) We're receiving the following Message : "The application's digital signature cannot be verified. Do you want to run the application ?" (see attached file)
    -> Due to deployment for 500 Users , we would like to avoid this message during silent installation of Java 1.6.0.24.

    You will get this message only first time you access the application, so you could simply train your users to tick "Always trust content from this publisher" option and click on Run.
    Thanks,

  • Digital Signature Issues

    Hi, I am brand new to this forum, But this is my second question. I am running Abobe Acrobat Pro 9.0. 
              I have been tasked with making a document that is Digital Signature ready.
              I was able to make a digital signature for my document.  However, I have two warning that come up.
                   Once the document is signed, a blue bar shows up at the top of the page. It has the following statement: "At least one signature has problems, Please fill out the following form.  If you are the form author, choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to your recipients"
                    When expanding on the yellow triangle, There is one green check mark (with a statement that says: "The document has not been modified since this signature was applied".
                        Two warnings show up:
                         1)  "The signers identiy is unknown because it has not been included in your list of trusted identities and none of its parent certificates are trusted identities".
                         2)  " Signature date/time are from the clock on the signers computer".
                   George, I have not been able to paste the Javascripts from that freeware into my Adobe program.  I am not sure if it is the permissions set in the Adobe program or the restrictions my company has with altering computer software.
              Is there something that I might be able to do to remove the warnings?     
              Very Respectfully: Rossknechtt,

    For #1, it will always show that for self-signed certificates that you have not yet chosen to trust. When you add the identity to your list of trusted identities
    and choose to trust it as a trusted root.
    For #2, it will say that unless the time was retrieved from a timestamp server when the signature was applied. So what you're seeing is normal if one was not used.
    More information on all of this is in the Acrobat Help document.

  • Font issue opening PDF file in Illustrator

    I was given a PDF file to make typographical changes. Because of the complexity of the file it would be easier to make the changes in Illustrator rather than edit the text in Acrobat. BUT the font (Arial regular, bold, bold italic) defaults to boxes -meaning the symbol when a font isn't open or available. I have tried highlighting the text and manually changing the font but I still get the boxes. I am not able to change the font to any font that I have activated in my system.
    I am using IA-CS3 on a MacPro with 10.5.2.
    Another note- the PDF was created on a PC with program called Vantage. It is used by our order-entry department.
    I am stumped as this is how I have changed PDF files in the past.
    Any ideas?

    It is Arial Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, Italic. I think it has to do with the file coming from a PC. I get an error message telling me these fonts are missing even though they are on my system. With Illustrator it doesn't offer a replacement font when the error message comes up. After the file is opened, I highlight the text (which is the boxes I previously mentioned)and replace it with another font from my system. I still get the boxes.
    When I paste the text in TexEdit nothing shows no matter what font or color I tell it to use.
    I have never seen anything like this.
