Problems with ink signatures

I used InDesign CS6 to design a fillable PDF form to be distributed via Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When testing, I have no issues with the form fields or digital signatures. However, for this form, we would like the recipient to be able to use the "apply ink signature" feature. Whether the file is reader enabled with extended features or not, I experience two problems.
One is receiving this message: "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill and sign this document you need to print it out." However, one can simply close the message and apply the signature.
However, the signature is not visible at the sender's end once the form is submitted.
Working for a nonprofit, we are not in a position to purchase a second EchoSign license. (The "parent organization" supplies the first license.) I have found another solution, but I would like to know what I am doing wrong because I assume my problems are a result of user error.
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

Mr. Johnson,
I just sent another test. The document contains no digital signatures. I also did not save as Reader Extended with enabld features. I still received the same error message that I mentioned above. Could you offer further assistance?

  • Problem with Digital Signature strategy in Document Managment System

    Hello ALL,
    I am facing problem with Digital Signature strategy in DMS. If any help its greatly appreciated.
    I have senario where Approvers in DMS will review the document and approve the document and put on their digitial signature. if i have multiple approvers maintained in the characterstics it has to check weather it has been approved by all approvers otherwise it has to reset the status to for approval.
    My problem is i am able to reset the status back from approved to for approval using the badi document_status01 but when the next approver logs in to the document and change the status to approved he is not able to get the digital signature pop up which it comes only first user approves it.
    can any one help me out on whats going wrong in it.
    Thanks
    Srikanth Aduri.

    Hi,
    maybe the reason for this is that the status of the digital signature is not changed. Then the system thinks that the digital signature is still completed and therefore the user is not getting the pop-up again. The database table for the digital signature for documents is TC77. I hope this information is usefull for you.
    Best regards,

  • Problems with digital signatures (adobe reader)

         I am a Government contractor that develops documents for my customer.  We are in the process of ascertaining the viability of digital signatures. I have developed a signature form with Adobe Pro 9.0.
         I have several issues. When someone digitally signs the document with their Common Acess Card (CAC), the warning appears "At least one signature has problems. Please fill out the form. If you are the form author, choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to your recipients."
         I tried using several options using the distribute section, and I am unable to make this part work. I truly need assistance with doing this correctly.  I require that the signatures to be processed in sequence (#1, #2, #3, and then the approval signature).  I did not comprehend that option in the distribute form section.
         However, the recipients that use Adobe Acrobat Pro are able to sign the document when submitted to them (however, the prviously stated warning appears). If they use Adobe Reader, they are not able to sign the document.
         Please help.
         Is there anyone that can assist with the signature feature of Adobe Pro?
         I would appreciate any suggestion/guidance.
         One area that I don't understand is the feature where i 0send the form out for signature.

  • Problem with ink cartridges

    We have a fairly new (6 mo.) HP 6100 printer that quit working, indicating a problem with the cartridges. I purchased all new ink cartridges, matching the number posted inside the printer door (933 for CMY and 932 for K). The printer still doesn't work, giving the message "The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, incorrectly installed or incompatible." I have removed, cleaned, re-installed. Still nothing.

    Hi Bigs4Kids,
    I understand you have an Officejet 6100 that is telling you the printhead appears to be missing or damaged. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will do my best to assist you.
    As this printer does not have a removable printhead, I'm not entirely sure what you removed and cleaned, but I would suggest that you call HP Tech Support and inquire about getting the printer serviced, as stated in this A 'Missing or Failed Printhead' Error Message Displays on the Printer or on the Computer document.
    Hope this helps, have a great weekend!

  • Problems with Digital Signatures

    I have a pdf with multiple signature fields. When somebody signs it in  9.x everything is fine, but when somebody signs it in a version earlier  than 9.0 it does not work. The signature fields do not even show up.  Somebody signed the pdf in 8.x and sent it back to me. I opened in 9.x,  and I could not see the signature fields. Is there a compability issue  between these versions. The pdf contains javascript and is a dynamic pdf  if that matters. Thanks in advance.

    It works on my computer when I dropped the target version to 7.x. However, I don't know if it will work on a true 8.0 version of Acrobat. I have sent it to a person who has Version 8.x, and I will let you know how it works. When you change that target version does that mean it will be compatible with the version or later you set it to?

  • Problem with digital signature of documents

    I have a requirement to upload documents and his respected fingerprint signed (SHA1WithRSA).
    To achive this I am using the functions modules:
    SSF_KRN_DIGEST
    SSF_KRN_SIGN_BY_AS
    but I can´t make it work.
    I also ask for the .pem file used to generate the PSE that I'm using to sign documents.
    With this pem file I execute in openSSL this following command:
    #Creates Message Digest of document.txt, and the sign it with MyKey.pem
    dgst -sha1 -sign MyKey.pem -out document.sign document.txt
    AND THIS WORKS! Now, with this succesfull case I try to track down the problem with the FM that I'm using, and I detected that SSF_KRN_DIGEST is given me a diferent result than openssl (so I forget for sign the document for a while...).
    This are the HEX value for OpenSSL (this is the one that works):

    As you can see, both files do countain the digest, but the metadata and padding is different. As far as I know, it should respect the ASN.1 structure, but I can figure out whats wrong with the SSF_KRN_DIGEST call.
    This is my code:
    * Creamos el message diggest del archivo
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_KRN_DIGEST'

    Where lt_bin_data contains the document, uploaded in binary mode.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards.

    Martin, as you said, the problem was the PKCS#7 format.
    In a communication problem, I was told that the application works with that format, whereas in reality is working with PKCS#1 - V1.5
    I just have to search for a FM that support that format, like SSFW_KRN_SIGN.
    This FM calculates the MD, and sign it, so it was easier than I originally thought.
    This is the FM call that I'm using, just in case someone needs the code:
    * Leemos los parametros definidos en la SSFA
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_PARAMETER'
       EXPORTING
         application             = 'INTBAN'
       IMPORTING
         str_profileid           = lv_profileid
         str_profile             = lv_str_profile
       EXCEPTIONS
         ssf_parameter_not_found = 1
         OTHERS                  = 2.
    *Cargamos la tabla con el encargado de firmar
    lw_signer-id = lv_profileid.
    lw_signer-profile = lv_str_profile.
    INSERT lw_signer INTO TABLE lt_signer.
    *Calculamos MD del documento (SHA1), y firmamos
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSFW_KRN_SIGN'
       EXPORTING
         str_format                   = 'PKCS1-V1.5'
         str_hashalg                  = 'SHA1'
         ostr_input_data              = lv_xstring_data_to_sign
       IMPORTING
         ostr_signed_data             = lv_xstring_signed_data
       TABLES
         signer                       = lt_signer
       EXCEPTIONS
         ssf_krn_error                = 1
         ssf_krn_noop                 = 2
         ssf_krn_nomemory             = 3
         ssf_krn_opinv                = 4
         ssf_krn_nossflib             = 5
         ssf_krn_signer_list_error    = 6

         ssf_krn_invalid_parlen       = 9
         ssf_fb_input_parameter_error = 10
         OTHERS                       = 11.
    Where lv_xstring_data_to_sign is just a xstring with the document that I have to sign.

  • Problem with digital signatures.

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Itunes and keep getting the message that windows doesn't recognise the publisher of the application. I have had Itunes in the past with no problems.
    I have tried loading older versions, turning of security features, etc, all to no avail. Any idea's?
    Thank you
    Nick

    Hi Brian,
    It's not that version 8 per se cannot add a signature field, it's that you cannot create or edit form fields in the Standard version. If you had Acrobat 8 Professional, or you buy Acrobat 9 Pro, then you would have the capability to add and edit form fields (a signature fields is just a special purpose form field).

  • Mountain Lion problems with Mail Signatures, Pages, Numbers, Keynote - This quick fix solved all my problems with these. Pages etc wouldn't launch and needed to be force quitted. Mail signature changes wouldn't save.

    The solution was simple in my case. I don't know why it worked and it may have been entirely coincidental but its worth a try.
    Close all applications and restart Mountain Lion.
    Log in as Guest. I opened Pages at this point but I don't know if that's required.
    Log out and then back in as your normal user.
    Pages, Numbers and Keynote now were fine for me and Mail signature changes were saved and available for later use.
    For those trying to edit the signatures to get their old ones back - I just found an old sent mail and copied the signature there into the newly created one via the normal preferences. No need for opening .mailsignature files and editing them. This included various colours, sizes, an image and a link with no problems.
    I hope this helps anyone having some of these problems.

  • Problem with the Signature field

    Hi All,
    Good day. I am having problem making a script work in the Adobe LiveCycle. Basically what I am trying to achieve is lock most of the fields on a form when the signature field is click. Note: Not all the fields should be locked. I then wrote a sample script with one of the field as follows:
    if(employeeSig.rawValue !=null){
       EmployeeLastNa.access = "protected";
    But surprisingly it does not work. I have placed this code on the Click, PostSign, and even PreSign events, respectively, but it does not work. I am just wondering what I may be doing that is wrong.
    Thanks

    Hi -
    rawValue does not work on signature fields, so that code will do nothing.  Use the collection feature in the signature panel to lock particular fields:
    Create a collection then modify it to lock whatever fields you need.

  • Problems with Email Signature in Outlook

    Hi everyone,
    I've been trying to create an email signature for my office that can be viewed correctly in any browser/ email client/ platform. I'm currently designing/ coding on a Mac.
    I created the design for it in Photoshop and then sliced it appropriately.
    Saved it on a sever (PhotoBucket) so all the images are hosted.
    Next I created a table in Dreamweaver and added each sliced image from the server into each appropriate table cell until it was formatted correctly.
    Then I added in links to a majority of the images:
    i.e. image links to company website, Facebook and twitter accounts; mailto links for the email address; and a "a href="tel:..." for the company phone numbers
    Then I saved and opened it in Safari, copied it, and pasted into signatures.
    Everything works great/ looks great as far as formatting and coding - essentially everything 'works' when I open it in Safari or Chrome etc. The problems start when I copy it into Outlook and send it out.
    Problems I'm having:
    1. When i send a blank email the signature looks good from my Mac Outlook. On some PC's Outlook the table is splitting up into individual cells and stacking on top of each other. On other PC's it looks fine.
    2.  The signature in the body of the email does not move along with newly typed text. Instead it overlaps and covers any text that is under it.
    3. When I try testing by sending the signature to a Gmail account, the images come as individual attachments or individual links- a huge annoying mess.
    Different things I have tried:
    1. Using HotSpots instead of image links: although it shows up on Safari, the links to not work in Outlook.
    2. Not hosting images, but instead linking directly from my Mac.
    Is there anything I'm missing? Or is what I'm trying to do (Create an email signature that is functional and clickable) simply not possible?
    I'd appreciate any advice!
    Thank you

    I think i'll stop you there. Email signatures do not require images and you should maybe think about having everything as text. You will no doubt be emailing people outside your company and lots of people don't have images turned on by default (hotmail, yahoo, outlook) so if you have any contact information in there, or your name, they won't see it!
    At the most I would have a small image of the company logo next to your information in text, and all the social media links as text as well.

  • Help! Problem with Ink Cartridge Compatibility Photosmart C4383 in my present location

    Need your help! I bought my printer in the Middle East almost 2years already Photosmart C4383 with the Ink Cartridges 140(black) & 141(tricolor).  Since, I already resides in my country now, the Philippines and I still use the printer.  Just this week, I already run out of Ink Supply and decided to buy one.  Since, I bought the printer in another country, I decided to check in the site for compatibility for Ink Cartridges.  The results stated that the Photosmart C4383 belongs to Photosmart C4380 series and it also states there that HP74 (black) & HP75 (tricolor) are the compatible cartridges for the printer in my region.  Since, I still have the tricolor 141 ink cartridge available, I decided to buy only the HP74 (Black) ink cartridge.  But when I place  the HP74 (Black) Ink Cartridge to my printer, I was surprised to see in the display screen that the Ink Cartridge I bought is not compatible with the printer. I was so disappointed because if I cannot use the product then I just waste of money and  and check again and again in the sites for ink compatibility in my region but still stated the same that HP74 (black) is the compatible ink cartridge and also saw a result that states to "reset the printer to work in my current location".  Needs your help to enlighten me and give me the right solutions for these problems and the steps how to do it the right way.   I need to use my printer so badly. Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You will need to Contact HP and request a regionalization reset.  This will require you have access to your computer and the printer while on the phone with the HP agent.  If the C4383 is a model only sold in certain regions it may not be possible to have the region reset.

  • Problem with a signature field available in Adobe acrobat and absent in READER

    Hello
    i just created a couple of pdf forms with adobe acrobat 9 standard and authorize the people who will fill in these forms to sign them. My properties are correctly done and i can clearly see that signing is allowed from adobe acrobat. I tried to sign it and it worked.
    I asked someone to fill in the doc and sign it with adobe reader and although he could filled it in. no option were available to sign on his end. It clearly stated in the security properties that signing is not allowed.
    i ask my colleague to follow the procedure but it didn't work. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-with-adobe-reader/

  • Problem with ink cartridge

    OfficeJet 6500 E709n
    Black XL cartridge, newly installed, expiration date 2012
    It won't print.  The printer works; just nothing that's supposed to be in black shows up.
    I've run a printer head cleaning and cartridge alignment.  With the former, it printed all other colors; with the latter, only the blue.

    Hi @ChrissyStar,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Deskjet 1000 will not print using the black ink cartridge, but will with only the color cartridge.
    Please take a look through this print quality guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet 1000, 2000, 3000....
