Problems getting multiple digital signatures in Acrobat Reader form

I have a Word document that I converted to a form in Acrobat 9 Pro. I added two separate digital signature fields, one for a conference presenter and the other for the conference planner to sign. There are also a number of text fields where presenters give bio information. I saved the document using the Extend functionality so that a user who only has Acrobat Reader would be able to fill in the form, sign/save it, and then send it on to the conference planner. The first part is working fine. However, once the first user signs/saves the document, the extended functionality goes away. When the conference planner receives the document, it is essentially locked. She cannot sign and save.
Is what I'm trying to do possible? I feel like this would be fairly commonplace, but I may be going about it the wrong way. Thank you for any pointers.

Hi Steve,
I have met similar problem. Using Adobe 9.4 I have prepared document with three signature fileds. I did signature in one of the field and then did extension to Reader. When I checked the propierties of document it occured that signing was not allowed. I couldn't sign it second time (not saying of Reader's user).
Is there missing any plug-in or something is wrong with a configuration (mentioned "Nothing has happened when signed" was set up)?

  • Multiple Digital Signatures in Acrobat 8.1

    Hello to all,  I am trying to have two people place two (2) digital signatures  (using the method: Advance Menu Item | Sign & Certify | Place Signatures) on a PDF document.
    There are no problems placing the first signature, but when the second person adds theirs, the first signature ends up having a yellow exlamation mark over the green check mark with the statement: "The revision of the documnet was covered by this signature has not been altered; however there have been subsequent changes to the doucment.".
    I must have both signatures showing "green check marks", otherwise my document can be rejected when I submit it.  I have version 8.1 of Acrobat and need a solution fast as I need to submit this document tomorrow.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    I believe this behavior was changed in Acrobat 9.

  • Multiple digital signatures in a pdf form?

    I'm creating an adobe pdf form that requires multiple approvers (one after the other) to digitally sign the form. However, once the second person digitally signs the form, the first person's signature will become invalid because the addition of the second signature is not signed by the first person.
    Is it possible to digitally sign the pdf form excluding the signatures?  and how to allow multiple signature in a pdf form while ensuring the form integrity?

    Hi,
    I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
    If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

  • Making Multiple Digital Signatures Read-only in Form (Acrobat 9)

    I have created a form which includes two (2) digital signature fields.  What needs to occur with the form is Person1 fills the form and then digitally signs it thereby making the form fields read-only .  Person2 then digitally signs the form which should make Person1's digital signature read-only.
    Here's what I've done:
    1) For the Person1 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields except these> and selected the Person2 digital signature field.
    2) For the Person2 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields> since once Person2 signs the form I do not want Person1 to be able to clear the digital signature and make changes to the form.
    Here's what actually occurs:
    Step 1 above works fine.  Once the signature is applied all the form fields are read-only except for the Person2 digital signature field.
    The problem is that after Person2 digitally signs the form, even though I selected all fields as read-only, Person1 can 'clear' their signature which leaves all the form fields available for editing and leaves Person2's digital signature still on the form.
    I honestly don't care about 'validating' signatures on this form since it's going to be printed but I cannot allow Person2's signature to remain on the form and allow Person1 to edit the form.

  • Problem creating PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X - where do I confirm the Password?

    I cannot create a PKCS# 12 Digital Signature in Adobe Reader X. It says the passwords don't match when I create it. The problem is, I never was asked to confirm the P/W when I created it. It asked once for the P/W and then the only thing I can do is click "Finish" and then it says my P/W don't match. I am able to create a DS on my other computer using Reader 9 (and it did ask me to confirm the P/W when creating). I have re-booted my computer and still it will not work.

    You'll need to ask in the Acrobat Pro forum. There are people there with expertise who can answer this. I use Acrobat myself, but I'm a novice when it comes to signature settings.

  • How to do Multiple digital signatures?

    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple digital signatures. This is an approval form that is emailed "up the chain of command".  I have enabled extended features in Adobe Reader so that users without Acrobat 9 can digitally sign the form.  I created the form and did a certified signature.  I then emailed it to a typical user who filled in the form and emailed it to her boss for a digital signature.  Her boss digitally signed it and emailed it to the CFO.  The CFO does not have Acrobat 9.  When she gets it, she gets the error message "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."  How do I correct this?

    Steve,
    I wanted to test how cumbersome it would be to have the 2 staff members open with Adobe Reader instead of Creative Suite; however, I have not been able to find any option like "open with" in my outlook email.  Every time I try to open it defaults to my Acrobat 9 Pro to open the document.  Would the 2 staff members have to save the email and then use "open with" in order to by pass Creative Suite?
    Also I am not sure if you answered my question last time - Is it possible to just upgrade the Acrobat portion of Creative Suite or do you have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite just to get the newer Acrobat?  I will also be checking the upgrade link you sent.  Thanks.

  • Multiple Digital Signatures on single profile.

    Hello,
    I have a question. Can I create multiple digital signatures on a single system.
    If Yes, I can create digital signature of any "Signature required person"  and I can sign for him, If I have his email id and Organization name, correct?
    It means we can easily sign for any other person in the world. If so, how does this system mean to be safe ?
    Thanks

    Please repost this issue in Acrobat forum.This is reader forum.

  • 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.

  • Digital Signatures- either disable reader abilities or  any other work around

    I am fairly new to acrobat
    I have designed a form that uses a JavaScript that looks at individual fields to verify if the information is good. I also require two signatures along with these correctly entered fields before I consider the form "good to go"
    (If the form is missing something, my form validation JavaScript will population the value of a text box with the list of which fields are bad.  The warning goes away when everything is good)
    I can’t find the correct property in JavaScript that reference if the digital signature field is signed or not, so I put in the signed event JavaScript that locks the field when signed.
    In my form validation script, I check to see if that digital signature field is locked- if so- then they must have signed it.
    Here is where I am running into trouble:
    After rights are extended to reader (my users will use reader to fill out this pdf)
    It’s possible for the user to sign it, (locking the field) and then clear the digital signature (but the locked field tells my validation script its “okay”)
    Locking the field does not stop someone from clearing it, which is not good.
    Also, someone using reader can add a digital signature on top of where I want them to sign it- and my validation script doesn’t know about this, so it won’t remove the warning if they add their own signature.
    How do I:
    ((Find the javascript property to know if a particular digital signature field is signed.)
    OR
    (Find a way to not allow the user to clear their signed signature))
    AND
    (Stop the user from adding their own digital signature field to the form?)
    Thank you.

    One last try.
    You help would really be welcome in finding out the root cause of the difference in behaviour between reader 8 and 9 in this matter (bug or change).
    I have no idea what documentation to read (since i've read the launch documentation and change list documentation) about reader 9, i've contacted Adobe 3 days ago (and the answer is silence, like usuall) and have no clear thought about what to say (without taking a huge risk by giving a uninformed answer) about this issue.
    Thanks.

  • How to create a digital signature in adobe reader

    how to create a digital signature in adobe reader?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "modern" UI) does not support any types of signatures yet.
    Digital Signatures with certificates
    Electronic Signatures (that are legally enforceable)
    Signature annotations (hand-writing annotations which may not be secure and legally enforceable)
    Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) supports #1 and #3.
    Adobe EchoSign supports #2.
    Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports #3.

    What's the name of the file you are attempting to open?  Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"?  If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension.  Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

  • Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

    I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required.  When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections.  The form is workflow through email after each user signs it.  Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
    How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
    Thank you,
    Lori

    Steve,
       After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo.  Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large.  Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
    Thank you for your help,
    Lori

  • I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

    I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

    What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?  What means "can not"?
    Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?
