Released document without complete digital signature

Hi All!
I'm working with digital signatures in the DMS system and I have set the release indicator so that two signatures are needed to release a DIR. The problem is that the DIR gets the green release status after saving the first signature. I get the feeling that this is a bug in the system but I have tested it in two systems and it works the same way in both systems (one of them is a ECC6.0 EHP5 system and should have all the relevant updates). The whole idea with digital signatures at the release status is in my head that the DIR does not get released before all stakeholders have signed the DIR. Am I wrong or have I done anything wrong in the config?
Best regards,
Kristoffer P

Hi Kristoffer,
Any specific logic as to why you intend to use two digital signatures to release a DIR?
Because,in your case,you can fulfill your requirement by using a single digital signature for a DIR.Herein,since there are two bodies involved for releasing a DIR, you may define the 'Signature Sequence' and the 'Release Sequence' in digital signature customization.This will ensure that that document is released/green indicator set only after body A and body B both have digitally signed the DIR in the sequence specified.Does this help?

Checking to see if a document has a digital signature

Hello,
I have created a stand alone static PDF document using the Designer 7.0.
I have some code that checks the document to ensure the proper data fields have been filled out before the user can sign the form. After signing the form the, the user is supposed to click a submit button where 2 things happen, first the data is sent for processing (do not the the digital signature info here) and second a copy of the PDF is save for archiving purposes (with digital signature).
What I need to know is how do I verify the digital signature field is not null or empty?
If I check its raw value, before and after are the same (null or empty even thought I can see that the form has been signed by looking at the screen). If I used the signatureInfo functions available in professional, I get a security violation error. The form is filled out using Adobe Reader and the forms have digital signature right added via the Reader Extensions v6.0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben, First advice is upgrade to designer 7.1. There are major improvements in the stability of designer. 7.0 kept crashing on me constantly.
I created a little function which should help you out.
function isSigned(sigField){
var oState = event.target.getField(sigField).signatureInfo().status;
/* if (oState == -1)
//app.alert("Not a signturefield");
else if (oState == 0)
//app.alert("Signature is Blank");
else if (oState == 1)
//app.alert("Unknown Status");
else if (oState == 2)
//app.alert("Signature is invalid");
else if (oState == 3)
//app.alert("Sig of Document is valid, identity of signer could not be verified");
else if (oState == 4)
//app.alert("Sig of Document is valid, identity of signer is valid");
else
//app.alert("Value was " + oState); */
return oState;
You need to pass this function the fully qualified SOM so if the signature field is in form.subform.page1.sigField you would call it like this isSigned("form[0].subform[0].page1[0].sigField[0]").
Good luck.

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!

Can I sign a Microsoft Word Document with the digital signature from a MIlitary issued CAC card?

Embedding Documents and Adding Digital Signatures

I have the following two questions regarding Adobe Acrobat XI pdf fillable forms that I can't find in the manual:
Embed supporting documentation and/or copy and paste information within the form
Allow digital signatures to be saved within the electronic version of the form
I would appreciate any feedback available.
Thanks!

Sign documents without entering a signature password?

On the PC version of Acrobat you can sign documents very easily without entering in a password every time you want to sign a document. On the mac version it appears that you have to enter a pwd every single time you sign a document... this is very frustrating when signing 20-30 docs at a time. Is there a way to disable the pwd requirement in Acrobat X for Mac?

Hi sojourner166,
For the sake of discussion lets limit how a digital ID is access to either directly from a file or through the operating system (OS). Both the file & the OS methods allow the user to access the private key (that's the part that is password protected) without having to enter the password each time.
On Windows the OS loads the digital ID into the Windows Certificate Store an on the Mac OS it uses Keychain Access. On Windows when you import a digital ID, if you don't select High Assurance (which is off by default) the OS assumes that if you could log in using your password that's good enough and will allow access to the private key without prompting you for the password. On the Mac, Keychain Access has UI which lets you control whether you need to confirm the password or not.
When you are signing with a digital ID in either of the OS based systems Acrobat say to the OS "give me access to the private key so I can do a signature operation". The OS then checks the setting and either grants access without further ado, or, it says to Acrobat "before I'll give you access to the private key you've got to tell me the password". Acrobat in turn puts up a dialog asking the user for the password. You type it in, hit the Sign button and Acrobat says to the OS, "okay here you go, now can I get access to the private key so I can finish this signing operation?". The OS checks the password that Acrobat sent along and if it's correct grants access to the private key, and if it's not correct returns an error code, which causes the signing operation to abort.
If the digital ID is residing in a file then the OS sits on the sideline and Acrobat handles the password work itself. If you are using a digital ID that resides in a file you can set the password timeout option through the Acrobat UI. In the Security Setting dialog expand Digital IDs in the tree view and then select Digital ID Files. From there you can click on the Password Timeout button and adjust how often you want to be prompted for a password to access the private key.
Here's a picture of what you are looking for:
If you are using a digital ID listed under Keychain Digital IDs let me know and I'll work up those steps for you.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Importing older Digital Signatures into an Electronic Document Mgmt System

I have Adobe PDF documents signed with digital signatures in 2002-03 that I need to import into an EMC Documentum repository without invalidating the signatures. When I try pulling documents into the system, they are seen as "changed or modified" by the authentication software, and the signatures dissappear. How do I get around this?

2002-2003 signatures were signed probably with Acrobat 5 or 6. Two questions:
1. If you open this PDF in Reader XI, does it validate the signatures as valid?
2. If you import into Documentum PDF signed with the latest Acrobat version (X or XI), does Documentum import then without errors?
If the answer to question 1 is "no" then there is something wrong with these PDFs.
I am not familiar with Documentum, so this is just a speculation.
My guess is that the answers to both questions are "yes". If so, then Documentum does not support the older PDF signature format (which is still in PDF 1.7 specification).
If the answer to question 1 is "yes" and to question 2 is "no", then perhaps Documentum does not support signed PDFs.
I am not familiar with Documentum, so this is just a speculation.

Securing pdf document with digital signatures

I have a pdf document that has digital signatures. We need to secure it so no one who has input their digital signature can go back in later, delete their signature and then 're-sign' it. But I get an error message telling me I can't secure the document because it has digital signatures.
Is there any way to secure the document so only I can secure/unsecure it after digital signatures have been input?
Thanks!

You don't need to use document encryption to lock the PDF file. You can set the signature field properties to mark all fields as read-only at signature creation. Try this:
Select the Tools > Toolbars > Advanced Editing menu item
Click the Select Object tool on the Advanced editing toolbar (it's the arrow icon)
Right mouse click on the signature field and select Properties from the pop-up menu
Select the Signed tab on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the Mark as read-only radio button and All fields from the corresponding drop-down list
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the File > Save As menu item and save a copy (in other words, leave the original copy as is in case you find you locked yourself out of the document, that way you'll have a fall-back recovery option)
Good luck,
Steve

Want insertion of Digital Signature not to require a save

I have an issue that I would appreciate someone's help on. I have been with Adobe Tech Support via their portal. Yet I have not been able to establish whether what I want to accomplish is doable.
What I have is a document that actually consists of several documents, which in aggregate comprises our application for persons wanting to drive for us. For the sake of this scenario please understand that the document is not to be broken up into multiple files. It is created as a single document to facilitate the management of the numerous applicants by in-house staff.
Anyway - this form has multiple digital signatures. The department head insists on this as each section of this document has information to be attested to as original and accurate. However, we find that only the first digital signature is used to certify the document, and any additional serve only in a "confirming" capacity.
So we have this document with multiple digital signatures, the first of which certifies the document and the remaining as "confirmation". And all of these digital signature fields are set as "required" in their properties. The form is developed and presented for testing. So we enter just one of the several digital signatures and attempt to save the file. What we expected to happen was the pop-up of a dialogue to point out that all of the required digital signature fields were not completed. But no such warning arises, and this circumstance "raises an eyebrow" or two within the firm, who expect this edit to appear.
Based on recommendations from Adobe support I go out to the developers site and research scripting. After several hours I come away with a script that will indeed spawn a message when any digital signature is missing. However, another problem arises. After closing out the dialogue box and inserting the first of several missing digital signatures I am immediately required to save the file. The save works and here we have the form with several digital signatures still not signed. This allows the user to forward on the form to us, at which time the file will be reviewed and returned to the user for further completion. And in the event that only one of several missing signatures is entered, and the file again saved and forwarded, this scenario has the potential of being repeated several times.
Is there any way through scripting for the insertion of the digital signature not to spawn a save of the document? Thanks!

Is there any isight as to how this is done?
I am currently opening a file from Teamcenter engineering, however if I try to save the file it complains there is another copy open elsewhere (which isn't true). I have to export the file first, save it and then check it back in. It seems to be the only area that behaves like this, as I am able to markup the document add pages,etc and save the document just fine.
If I could remove the save as function and just use "Save" I think that this would help.
Appreciate any/all replies!
Regards,
Sean.

Print or Submit Depending on if PDF has digital signature

hello everyone!!
i have a quick question and please let me know if i am posting this in the wrong area.
i have a pdf form created in Acrobat 7 but we need to reader rights enabled so I have since them downloaded acrobat pro 9 and revamped it. it works great for those who have reader to give them the ability to fill it out and send it back as the complete PDF. however, what i would like to do is have a "submit" button that checks to see if the document has a digital signature. if it does, i want it to submit to an email address. If it does not have a digital signature, I want the button to print the form so the user can sign it and send it in. I have searched the web and unfortunately haven't found much on this. My question is: is this even possible? If it is, could someone point me in the right direction or give a few tips on how to start. any info at all would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks much!
Mandy Sky

Well thanks to the folks who took a look at this post....I've gotten no replies and need to move on...
Since I have posted this, I have found that it is possible so I'm going to try and muddle my way through it.

Print Digital Signature

Hi Experts,
I've setup the digital signature for certain document types. Now when I print those signed document, am not able to get the approver's signature on print out.
From the SAP Help I found below link and it says that I've setup ' allowed' or 'possible' option for Document Display in Digital Signature Strategy.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm71_sp01/helpdata/en/45/f0f4a900b404abe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
I tried both the options and still not able to see digital signature during the print out or document display.
In the Help (above link) it also says that
"The document display and print option are not available to the signee if the forbidden option is set in the system table for the entire application."
Where can I find the System Table to remove the forbidden entry for the application?
Do I need to setup anything else to enable the digital signature print option?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Amit,
I am not sure on how to get the the signature of the person who released the PO, because as per my understanding the Relase Strategy i.e the Relase code is attached to a Basis profile.
What I would suggest is if you can get all the guys who can release a PO and define him as a Purchaser ie. a Purchasing group then it would be easier to print his signature in the PO.
Here are the Highlevel steps
1. Just have the Signature you want to print in a Tiff format.
2. You can upload the signature as a standard Text using program RSTXLDMC to upload and give a text name.
3. call the text name in your sap scripts.
reward if useful.
Thx,
MJ

Digital signature for work order processing

Hi,
Have anybody implemented digital signature for work order processing? Can you throw some lights, what are the steps involved?
Requirement is when work order reach certain status, like on order release, on partial confirmation, on final confirmation or on Technical completion, digital signature needs to be captured. This is a regulatory requirement.
I read some threads that explains digital signature can be assigned to plant and order type combination, but i couldn't find this specifc config step, we are using ECC 6.0. Is anything needs to be activated before I can see these configuration steps.
With ABAP help I was able link digital signature tool to work order, but was wondering if this can be achieved through configuration as mentioned in some of the threads.
Also I have another requirement, like if you are doing a mass TECO using IW38 transaction, capture digital signature once and the same should be applied for all the selected work orders. Otherwise you have to enter your password as many time as the number of work order selected.

Making a Digital Signature Form

     Hi, I am brand new to this forum, and thought that I would give it a try. i am running Abobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.
          I have been tasked with making a document that is Digital Signature ready. In other works, I need to figure out how to make a Box, with a little red arrow, where somone runs the mouse pointer over the arrow, and a note comes up that says "To digitally sign, click the arrow".
     Is there someone that might be able to assit me in this request?
     Very Respectfully: Rossknechtt,

                Thank you George. I have made a digital signature field.
          Is it possible to prove guidance as to how I Ioad trusted signatures so the signature warning does not come up? How do I add a date field with a pull down calendar?
Very Respectfully:

Digital Signatures in EchoSign

Can you sign an EchoSign document with a Digital Signature from a PKI-based Smart Card?

yes. but you need to be an existing Enterprise Global customer and contact your Success Manager about this, as this feature is still in beta.

Email and digital signatures

When I open a .pdf document from an email attachment, I am unable to digitally sign it. After I sign it, the signature just disappears.
Before the new IT people took over, I was able to open the document, select the digitable signature option, and Acrobat would tell me I needed to save the document. I saved it in the desired location and the digtigal signature would appear. How do I restore this process?
Thank you.

Maybe there is a separate email client app in the App Store that supports PGP or S/MIME (the built-in email doesn't).
