How to delete hyperlink (Remove signature) in a form created with InfoPath

Hello.
We have Sharepoint 2013 Foundation in production. It work with forms created with InfoPath. In these forms, digital signatures are used to approve. The problem is that once you have signed the forms, the user can remove the signature. That's what we want to
avoid.
Which file should I edit to remove the hyperlink? I can not find how to do it. Do you know a better option?
Greetings.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to delete hyperlink (Remove signature) in a form created with InfoPath.
As far as I know, there is no OOTB way to achieve this. You need to use custom code to prevent removal of digital signatures.
Please add the OnBeforeChange handler code to the "signatureN" group where the signature is stored, not to the section you are signing.
In other words (my excample) browse to :
Tools - Form Options - Digital Signatures - "Enable digital signature for specific data" - Modify/Add
Note the "Store signatures in the following group" value. It will be a read only value, eg /my:myFields/my:signature3/my:signature4

Show digital signatures in Preview

Hello
It wasn't possible to show digital signatures in Preview in a PDF document.
It's there a way to do this, or I've to install Acrobat Reader?
ATM. I don't have a printer at home, so i don't know if its only not visible in the Preview, or it will also not be printable.
Has somebody an idea?
Best Regards

Unfortunately, if you're using acrobat pro to sign documents, you must inform the recipient to use Acrobat Reader, themselves. This is because of Adobe's CDS system.

No signature in preview

I made a signature in preview - but I have no sign for signature on the second bar …
and this after a Combo Update with 10.7.2. Preview is Version 5.5.1 (719.11) german.
Should the sign for "signature" not automatically appear in the secon bar?

> Check your Preview preferences ..
Preview > Preferences > Tools > Annotate > Signature > Manage Signatures
You may need to set it up again.

HT2506 how do I create a signature for preview without camera? (I have a Mac Mini)

How do I create a signature in preview without icamera? I hava a Mac Mini.

You can't, but if you create a signature on another Mac with a built-in camera, or an Apple display with a camera, you can move the signature to the mini.

Any way to add color signature in Preview?

Please this is important. I need to add a color signature in Preview. The signature creating adds only black and white. I need it to be in blue.
Thanks

I discovered how to do this. Having inserted your signature, select it and change the color using the color picker (just to the right of the signature tool).
Good luck!

Signatures in preview

I followed instructions in MacWorld on how to capture my signature in Preview, so I can add it to a pdf file.
The capture worked, but when I use it to sign a pdf, the signature appears at 90 degrees from the line I am trying to place it on. I have tried everything, and I can not rotate it so is lays on the signature line in the pdf.

HT2506 cannot add a signature in preview???

why is preview NOT allowing me to add another signature? the '+' sign is highlighted, but nothing happens when clicked

When you click the plus, do you get a window that looks like this?
If not, then try opening the Console application (in the Applications > Utilities folder) and click the All Messages section. Then click the "Clear Display" toolbar button and then try clicking the new signature button in Preview. If any messages show up in the Console after doing this, then copy and paste them into a message here.
Also try removing Preview's preferences file, by holding the Option key and choose Library from the Go menu in the Finder. Then go to the Preferences folder and remove the file called "com.apple.Preview.plist"
Finally, if the above does not work, then try going to the same Library folder (using the Go menu) and then go to the Containers folder in here. Move the folder called "com.apple.Preview" from this Containers folder to your Desktop, and then relaunch Preview and try again.

Cant edit or remove signature field

I accidentally added a digital signature field to a form I was making. Now I cant select it, or delete it from the form. Is there any way to get rid of it without starting over?
I looked in the hierarchy, and structure views and its not listed there. When I preview or use the form its there plain as day right smack dab in the middle of my form.
Im using live cycle 8.0
Thanks

From the sounds of it it is in the master page section of the hierarchy, instead of the subforms. That's the only way I've come accross being able to see something and not select it when editing.
Have a check there first, because I can't think of anything else right now! :)

How do I remove Garageband iLife Preview files?

I was creatin a large project in Garageband and decided to split it into smaller parts. I forgot that I had set Garageband to create an iLife Preview for the files when I save them, and sudddenly, I've lost 20GB of space on my drive because I have created all these extra preview files with every same.
Is there a way to remove the preview files without having to delete the individual tracks?
Thnaks!

I copied parts from the original to empty new projects,
it's really doubtful that the Previews would acount for gigabytes of space. many megs, but not 1+ gigs (unless the recording was _very_ long)
when you paste in a region and Save As, you're essentially copying the entire recording associated with that region, even if you're displaying only some of it. some background:

Removing signatures in a digital signature field

Hi all, I have a question relating to the topic above that i hope
you guys can help me with;
1) Is it possible to remove digital signatures from form? For instance
if you have a form going thru several approval steps that requires
signatures, and then one step happened to reject, it would be nice to
remove the previous signatures so that they could be re-signed.
2) And finally is there a simpler way to combine digital signatures
and rights management then what was listed in the pdf provided by
Duane (second post from the bottom of the thread)? When creating a policy there is
a checkbox for "Filling in form fields and signing". Is this forsomething else?
Thanks!
Billy

Hi all, came accross a few other problems and hopefully someone can
help me out,
I've managed to place digital signatures on a form and I used a custom renderer to apply a policy for rights management. I used a Document
Form type variable in the process and specified that the form should only be rendered once. Now at some point in my process I wanted to
remove a signature so I tried to use the Clear signature field service. When i run it however i get a stall and an error in my logs
saying "The input PDF is encrypted using APS and could not be opened, hence the operation clearSignatureField can not be performed on Signature Field ConsultantSig. (in the operation : clearSignatureField)"
So figure, ah well, thats cool, i'll just remove the policy as I figured thats what was encrypting it. So i threw in a Remove Policy service and then i get another error in my logs saying that

Oh great, a conversion problem when i try to remove the policy! Incidently i get this same conversion problem when i try to remove a signature using the Clear Signature on a form that has NOT had any policy placed on it at all.
So basically, to sum up these are the main issues
1) Can digital signatures be removed from a form that has a policy placed on it, or do i have to remove the policy first?
2) Why am i getting these coercion errors? As i understood it using a Document Form variable is the correct way to go. What should i do to resolve this?
So can anyone shed a little light on this?
Thanks
Billy

Signature in preview won't drag in.

Any suggestions on dragging a signature from the signature box into a document in preview? I can't get it to work. Other functions such as add text work fine. loading the signature works fine. The signature highlights when clicked it just doesn't go into the document. Any thought?

Sorry about the assumption step by step:
I opened preview, opened the annotation bar opened clicked on the signature box, clicked "create signature from built in iSite camera" this brought up a Signature Capture dialog box. I confirmed that “Save this signature for use after Preview quits” is checked. I took out a piece of paper, and signed it. I held the piece of paper up to the iSight Camera, and adjusted the position of the paper until the camera recognizes and displayed my signature. Clicked on the Accept button to save the signature.
Then I opened a pdf. Again, I clicked on the signature bar under annotation, my signature was present, I clicked that - it highlighted as I tried to drag it the signature box closed and the signature did not appear in the document.
I then restarted the preview, restarted the computer and checked for updates - none of which had the desired effect. I am able to add text to the document such as the date.
Any suggestions?

Signature image not displaying in actual signature. Preview shows it though???

Hi, I am brand new to using Adobe and want to use for electronic signatures to decrease paper
and increase effeciency. I was able to use help to get it to work with displaying my name. I have tried to edit the signature to display an object , a file that displays my handwritten signature. The preview shows that I have attached it appropriately, but when I try to sign a document it continues to display my name instead. I have tried several times, starting over. Attaching .jpg then attaching it as a .pdf. The preview continues to show what it will look like, but the signature continues to default to my printed name for some reason.
HELP the Newbie Please.

You are best off creating a digital signature and if you want using the signed signature to display with your digital signature you can. When you just have an image that is pasted on top of the pdf, it is really mostly an annotation, not nearly as useful as a true digital signature. You can create a self-signed digital signature or you can purchase a digital signature that can be attested to by an outside authority. It is your choice.

How To Remove Autorun of PREVIEW Application after Power On of IMac?

Hi all,
Need Help here.
Everytime I power on my IMac it automatic run the application "PREVIEW".How to remove this "Autorun" ?
Thanks!

Hello Justrain
If you click on....
Blue Apple ( top left of your screen there ) > System Preferences > Accounts > Log in items.
Is preview highlighted there?
If it is, you can " de-select " it from the list. That should cure the problem for you. I hope it does.

Creating new signature in Preview from .png file

Hi,
I've been using the Annotate --> Signature feature in Preview, and want to import an image file into Preview that will be recognized as a signature.
The "create a signature by holding it in front of the iSight camera and snapping a photo" method is too low resolution for what I need. I want to take a high-quality scan (as .png currently, but I could convert to .gif or .jpg if needed) and import that into Preview to use instead, but I can't find a way to do it.
Any ideas?
Fran
