Remove Labels from Signature

Hello -
In Acrobat X, how does one eliminate the labels (e.g., "cn=", "email=") from the Sign Document Appearance?  I select "Create New Appearance..." and de-select "Labels" and the Preview does not show labels, however, after I exit the Configure Signature Appearance dialog, the labels or designations continue to appear. (Other adjustments in Create New Appearance take effect).
If "Labels" does not control the display of "cn=", etc. in the signature, please consider this a more general question: how does one remove "ou=", etc. from the signature.
My readers (and, actually I don't) understand or recognize the terms "cn=" "ou=" - they do not add clarity to the digital siganture.
Thank You,

Hi All,
When you create a custom signature appearance what you want to do (to get rid of the cn= et.al.) is to deselect (turn off) the Distinguished Name checkbox.
This is going to get really geeky... the Distinguished Name (aka the "DN") is an array of elements that define the identity of the signer. These elements are defined in several specifications, but what it boils down to is without the labels you'd have a hard time telling the elements apart. It may seem that the value of the "cn" entry (which stands for common name) appears to be easy to figure out, but there are so many items that can go into the DN without labels it would become hard to figure out what is what. For the most part all you usually see is a common name, an e-mail, an organization, and an organizational unit, but you can also add numbers such as a serial number, an age, a postal code, a maximum amount of money that can be spent among other things. Without the labels you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
The best thing to do is just create a signature appearance that omits the DN altogether and you eliminate the confusing nomenclature.
The downside of using a stamp is you don't get the advantages that you do from a digital signature. A digital signature provides two things. First, the user can tell if the contents of the document has been modified. That is, if someone were to change the document it would invalidate the signature. The second thing is the identity of the signer is guaranteed. A stamp doesn't provide either of those protections. The digital signature provides cryptographic assurance of the documents integrity.

    How can I remove unwanted LABELS from the side bar unsung gmail?

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Remove saveas from signature

    is it possible to stop the saveas popup from appearing after a digital signature is added? (form created in Acrobat Pro)

    Do you want to overwrite the original PDF? Are you sure?
    If you have a signature field you can associate a JavaScript with this field which will specify the destination file name. The latter can be the same and in the same location as the original one. You may still get an alert "Do you want to overwrite the file". Or you can establish some rules for the naming/location of the signed PDFs and have the JavaScript to create such name and submit it as the signed PDF name (full filename path).

  • How to remove labels from text fields?

    Hey Everyone!
    I am having troubles with forms in Dreamweaver CC.
    I insert a text field in a form but the text field automatically comes with a label.
    How do i stop this?

    And I get that!
    But say I insert a text field.
    It is preceded by a label saying "Text Field 1:"
    But I already have written what the text field is supposed to do!
    And when I go in front of the label and press backspace, it doesn't wanna get deleted; not until I have to select the text and delete it!
    So you see a large part of my time is getting wasted in formatting the page and i can't give my full attention to the php code I want to write as I get frustrated because of this!
    So if you could help me get rid of the labels for good ; it'll be amazing!
    Thanks

  • Remove DRM from Independent Labels

    One way that Apple can show that it takes seriously the topics brought up in Steve Jobs's article, "Thoughts on Music", is to remove DRM from all material where the content producer did not specifically ask for it.
    There are many independent labels who wish their music to be as open as possible to a broader community. DRM gets between them and their customers.
    Please consider removing DRM from all content where the content producer did not request or require it.
    Thank you,
    Mike Shea

    It wont happen. Apple has DRM accross the board is to offer a consistant product. Lets face the facts that if 90% of all music is required DRM (shot in the dark) people who dont get the DRM thng (most customers) will be totaly lost if only a few songs have DRM and others dont. Apple stripping DRM from music that doesnt require them means very little to the Recording companies anyway.

  • How do i remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?

    Does anyone know how to remove the authorized signature from a certificate widget on captivate 8?
    or
    How to build my own widget to include quiz results/score and print widget?

    Strange workaround, but just checked it and it works (even for responsive project): you can drag the Signature, I dragged it as far out as possible (to the bottom) and when previewing the Certificate it was gone.
    Do you need a widget? It is not that easy if you need it both for SWF and HTML output because I'm aware at this moment of only very few widgets available on the market. You can create a slide with all you need, using the quizzing system variables and a button with a JS to print?
    Maybe some inspiration here: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog

    The update of web page iCloud is great, but why don't u just remove the "Notes" label from the "Mail" app?
    In additional, I also would like to see a "iOS liked" way to edit my "United contact" on the web page iCloud, just like on my iphone. That would be really great and more greater!
    Anyway, thanks for your work!

    It's difficult to tell exactly what you mean, or where you are looking.
    But if you're looking in the App Store on the iPad, in the Updates area, and you still see the icons, they presumably now say "Open" to the right instead of "Update".  They will stay that way as a history of what you have done.  They will disappear after a while - something like 30 days.  That is fine.

  • Best app to remove duplicates from iTunes 2014

    Hi All,
    I've been trying to research the best application to sort and remove duplicates from my iTunes library. I have over 7000 songs and iTunes built in duplicate finder doesn't look at the track fingerprint, which is useful for those songs which are labelled "Track_1" etc.
    Has anyone reviewed any recent products? I was looking at TuneUp, but after reading so many negative comments, I've decided not to go down that path. I would prefer a program that did most of the work for me, due to the amount of songs. Happy to pay for a good product...
    I do have MusicBrainz Picard, which has done a great job of tagging, but don't remove duplicates.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Tune up is a great app.  When they moved from version 2 to version 3 is when it went to crap and all heck broke loose.  They shut their doors  but they have since re opened and went back to developing  version 2.  I use that version and I am pretty happy with it as being an overall cleanup utility.  I also use Musicbrainz and a couple of other utilities but in the end if you have an enormous library 20k plus then you are going to have a few slip through.  I would probably go with Tuneup if I were you and a thorough third party duplicate finder.  Dupe Guru's music edition seems to do a pretty good job.

  • HT201250 how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.

    how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
    I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup"  It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
    I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

    Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
    The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
    Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    Boot from the external hard drive.
    Erase the internal hard drive.
    Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.3 and Safari 7.0.4. How do I remove BING FROM SEARCHING when i type something into the search bar

    I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.3 and Safari 7.0.4. How do I remove BING FROM SEARCHING when i type something into the search bar

    See below if the search engine setting was changed without your knowledge and you can't change it back.
    You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
    Step 1
    In the Applications folder, there may (or may not) be an application named "Genieo". Genieo may be partially installed even if this item is absent. If it's present, select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that theVersion is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
    There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
    This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
    Step 2
    Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you didn't find the Genieo application, or if you couldn't complete Step 1 for any reason, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
    Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Step 3
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the perpetrator of the scam sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run the provided uninstaller. As he knows and intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
      Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
      OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
      About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Remove name from menu bar + possible bugs?

    Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to remove my name from the Menu bar. It currently says my full name and is clickable, dropping down to my icon and a link to the Login Window and Users & Groups Preferences (but there's no option to remove it in these preferences!) Thanks!
    Also, Is there a thread where we can post bugs we come across? Becuase I've found a couple.
    I'll post them here for now:
    1) When I go into Finder > Preferences, the menu box flickers strangely when I switch between the option tabs (General, Labels, Sidebar, Advanced).
    2) Scrolling left and right through folders in the Column view is hesitant. It doesn't flow smoothly like it does when I scroll up and down.
    If there's anywhere I can report these bugs, please let me know!

    name from menu bar:
    the easy way: hold command and then drag the name icon out of the menu bar (just like how you remove stuff from the dock with the difference of pressing command while you do it).
    the less easy way: open system prfs -> Users and groups [press locket if locked] then click login options and uncheck fast user switching menu

  • Problem removing components from JLayeredPane

    Hi all,
    I have a problem showing and hiding components on a JLayeredPane. It goes Something like this:
    In my application I have a button. When this button is pressed I use getLayeredPane to get the frames layered pane. I then add a JPanel containing a number of labels and buttons onto that layered pane on the Popup layer. The panel displays and funcitons correctly.
    The problem comes when I try to remove the panel from the layered pane. The panel does not dissappear and I am no longer able to click on anything else in the frame!
    If anyone has any ideas how to get around this or what the problem might be I'd be very greatful to hear it. Sample code follows:
          * Called when the button on the frame is pressed:
          * @param e
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    JLayeredPane mLayredPane = getLayeredPane();
              int x = 0, y = 0;
              Container c = this;
              while (true)
                   c = c.getParent();
                   if (c != null)
                        x += c.getLocation().x;
                        y += c.getLocation().y;
                        if (c instanceof JRootPane)
                             break;
                   else
                        break;
              mPanel.setBounds(x, y, 235, 200);
              mLayredPane.add(mPanel, JLayeredPane.POPUP_LAYER);
    //And when a listener fires from the panel I use
    mLayredPane.remove(mPanel);
    //To remove it from the layered pane and in theory return the
    //app to the state it was before the panel was displayedThanks again...

    The problem is you only removed it within the program, without actually removing it from the display. If that makes any sense, or whether thats your problem at all.
    If you are only using this line.
    mLayredPane.remove(mPanel);
    I think if you tell it to repaint and revalidate it should work, though i have never used LayeredPane.
    mLayredPane.repaint();
    mLayredPane.revalidate();

  • Show only subset of labels from a data series

    I'd like to show only a few labels from a given data series.  I saw some work-arounds posted from 2010 (e.g., add a new series with just the items to be labeled; turn off all labels on original data series).  Was wondering if it's possible to deal with each series-label individually now, thereby avoiding having to add extraneous series to my data.
    Thank you.
    B.

    Thanks, Jerry.  Very curious --- when I hide rows on my original table, those data aren't removed from my chart.  So I built a new chart with new data and hiding rows on this new table does indeed remove those data from the chart.  So something seems to be happening with my original data table.
    But this is actually separate from what I was asking about.  I'd like to keep all the columns in my chart and just have a few labeled.  Was seeking a way to do that without adding a "For Labeling Only" column to my table (Excel let's one deal with column labels individually; figured Numbers might be able to do that, too). Here's how the workaround looks:
    Thanks again for responding.
