PDF Signature Template?

I have a PDF that has multiple signature boxes-- though they're not all for signatures. Date, ID#, Printed name, Signature, etc. I can get them working with my Topaz Signature Pad (Model #T-L463-HSB-R) without any issue. The problem, however, is that this document needs to remain as a template of sorts; multiple people will be filling out the forms daily. When I perform a "Save As" and name the newly-signed PDF something different, there's no issue. However, when I open up the template version (which should, in theory, be blank, because I didn't save it), the previous signature information is still there.
I can go through the document and manually remove all the signatures, but that's kind of a pain, and only adds extra steps to the process. So, my question is this: Is there a way to save my document WITHOUT retaining the signature information? I need it to be a clean slate (so to speak) each time I open it.
Thanks in advance for any help and information.
Oh, I should probably add that I'm using Adobe Acrobat X, the trial version from Adobe's site.

How about making the file read-only? That way Acrobat/OS won't allow the blank template PDF to be overwritten, but you can Save As.

How do I set up/install my complimentary "PDF Portfolio Templates" zip file?

How do I set up/install my complimentary "PDF Portfolio Templates" zip file?
The Download site says: "Please click the button below and select “save” when prompted to download the files to your computer.* To add your content, simply open Acrobat XI and follow the instructions."
The instructions say:
"To install a custom layout, select File > Create > PDF Portfolio.
In the “Create PDF Portfolio” dialog box, click Import Custom
Layout. Navigate to the custom layout le on your computer
and select Open. Layout les have a .nav extension. e
layout appears in the Portfolio Layouts list, where you can select it.
Imported layouts are permanently added to the Custom
Layouts section of the Portfolio Layouts panel."
However, there is no "File>Create>PDF Portfolio" menu option...

Acrobat Standard can't make Portfolios; you shouldn't have been offered that item when you registered. I suggest you contact Customer Support and ask for your selection to be reset.

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

PDF signature timestamp problem

Hi, sorry if this post is slightly offtopic.
We are trying to sign and timestamp pdf documents in java (using Apache PDFBox) and we are stuck with a problem for more than a week. The signature itself is good, Adobe Reader can validate it succesfully (after adding our self signed test root certificate to trusted certificates). The problem is with the timestamp. Adobe Reader says that the signature is timestamped, but the timestamp could not be verified. If I look at the Date/Time tab on the Signature Properties window the Timestamp Authority field says Not available. Older versions of Adobe Reader 9 displayed the Show Certificate button for the Timestamp Authority as enabled, and if I clicked it, the Reader crashed. In newer Reader 9 versions and in Reader X the button is disabled. It seems Reader recognises the timestamp but can't extract the TSA certificate.
However if I sign the pdf with Acrobat X Pro or with iText (using the same private key and the same TSA) everything is perfect, the timestamp is validated, Timestamp Authority field shows the correct value, TSA certifiicate is OK.
I analyzed the signatures and the timestamp tokens, but I could not find any significant difference between the good and wrong ones.
I wanted to attach a working and a non-working sample but I didn't find how to do that.
Could someone please give us some advice about what could cause something like this?
Can Reader log the signature parsing/validating process to view what's wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I had the same problem with the pdf signature timestamp…..
The thing I was doing wrong was the SHA-1 hash sent to the timestamp server, more precisely I was sending the whole signature SHA-1 hash when I suppose to send the SHA-1 hash of the RSA encrypted hash of the digital signature (I think that in your case is the 256 hash starting from 1783).
Hope this helps you,

Fillable PDF form template?

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out on a little problem I am having with Adobe Pro, LiveCycle Designer. I am trying to create fillable PDF office forms. I have succeeded as far as getting the forms fillable... However, I was wondering if it is possible to turn that fillable PDFs into templates? Meaning, it would automatically ask the user to "save as" rather than saving to the original document. If there is not a way to turn the document into a "template," then, how can I disable the saving feature on the form. These forms are filled out by office employees but then given to the client which is why I am so concerned about the saving feature.
Here the the problem we are running into: If one of our employee uses the a pdf form, they automatically save the information. I guess its out of habit. Then, another employee will use the same form and (sometimes) end up missing information that needed to be deleted from the prior use. Sometimes, the client will get the completed form with the wrong information. It always end with
confusion and other issues. I have tried asking office employees to stop saving the information after using the form but that doesnt seem to be working out very well.
I have also tried adding "permissions" to the form which covers the printing & editing rights BUT it also allows the user to save the document which is the exact opposite to what I want...
I am a bit lost.. I tried googling as well but I havent found another person with the same question. Maybe, I am just goggling the wrong question. OR, maybe, I am setting up the permissions incorrectly. Who knows!
So this image I uploaded is a fillable PDF receipt that we use to email or mail out to the client with a copy of their receipt. For this, I would like the person to be able to fill it in but not able to save it OR have adobe ask them to save as instead of just saving the information to the original file.
Any help will be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!

PDF form template displaying multiple sets of data loaded from xfdf

Hello
I would like to use PDF Forms with data stored in xfdf files.
Is it possible to create pdf form (template) for displaying and printing multiple sets of data stored in xfdf?
For example: pdf form contains 2 sets of data. Form field names: F_1 and F_2.
I have 7 sets od data. All I need is to create pdf and xfdf that can be displayed in PDF reader and printed
as document consisting of 4 the same pages containing different data in form fields loaded from xfdf file.
(something similar to Mail merge in MS Office Word).
How it would be done? Is it possible to make such pdf, xfdf?
If yes, where I can find examples (tutorial) of creating such forms, please?
Thanks.
J. Jas

It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.

With newer versions of Acrobat there is a mail merge feature.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

PDF Signature Error-Trouble In Paradise

I was happily using a form for my staff to use to request field time. The form contained 3 signature fields, which were all working fine, until I had to go into the form to add more objects, in an attempt to combine two forms into one. After I added the other information on the form. My staff can sign and send me the request, but I am no longer able to approve and sign (the second signature field), because I get the following messages in the order written:
When signing a PDF signature field component, results in the following 3 error messages after each other (text correctly shown, spaces and all)
1) The FieldMDP expression for this signautre is invalid
> After clicking on OK on 1), i get the next err message
2) Creation of this signature could not be completed.
Unknown error
Support Information: CSigField-1013
> After clicking on OK on 2), i get the next err message
3)The document could not be signed.
There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved.
The save operation was cancelled.
PLEASE Help. My staff is hoping that I don't get this form fixed, because of the level of accountability the form provides.

How to generate PDF from template via REST query

Hello. I'm newbie in Adobe LiveCycle, will appreciate any help.
What we need: generate PDF from template, using different data.
What we have: LiveCycle Designer and server with deployed Adobe LiveCycle ES 2.5 image.
Looks like server works and listen 8080.
In Livecycle Designer I can generate XML (XDP) from PDF, so I can change this XML in PHP/Python/Go script to fill template with data.
I'm looking for some REST method, where I can give that XML (XDP) and recieve generated PDF in response.
I've spent whole to for googling all these things, found a lot of docs, but all is very complicated there. Also, examples from just doesn't work - maybe I have to do something on server before calling REST API method.
Please, push me into right direction

Your best bet is to probably create an orchestration (or "process" in Adobe speak) that accepts two document parameters, calls LiveCycle Forms (or Output depending on whether you want to interactive or non-interactive PDF), and returns the resulting document variable.
The orchestration will return a redirect that will point you to the document object.

How to put an e signature into email signature templates?

I am trying to paste a link to my e signature in the Signature template in the email on my MacBook Pro. It has the Lion server. PLEASE HELP! I am new to MAC!

Hey Joosten,
Martino is correct, Animate compositions can't be embedded inside of emails due to email clients blocking JS for security reasons. You also won't be able to embed a SWF or video either. You might be better off creating a page to redirect recipients to if you need that additional layer of high end content.

Print to PDF WAD Template

Hi,
We have a custom web template and are trying to provide a print PDF option for end-users. We created a button, and are using the export web application command. In data binding, we are selecting some analayis items and text items for printing, but only the analysis items (queries) are getting printed to PDF, the text items are not getting printed.
Can you tell me how to print the text items? Is there a better way to get the print functionality?
Thanks,
