Restrict Place Signature option

I have developed a form that includes two digital signatures fields
In the pre-sign event I added fields validation
An end user completed the form and instead of pressing the Digital Signature button included in the form, he utilized the "Place Signature" feature incorporated in Adobe Acrobat Pro, avoiding all the validation.
My question is: it's possible to restrict the use of the "Place signature" feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro?
I want that end users can only sign using the Digital Signature buttons included in the form.
Kindly regards
Nestor

The document may have security restrictions that prohibit it, or the document is Reader-enabled, or certain other possibilities. We could say exactly if we could examine the document.

  • "Place Signature" options are greyed out.

    I'm trying to sign a document in Adobe Reader XI, using a placed image or "draw my signature". However, all these options are unavailable (faded in grey). Extended Features are activated, and there is no security on the document. See image below:
    How do I activate or unlock the faded options?

    PDF that you have may contains digital signatures, possibly invisible. If it is Reader-enabled (or certified) then it contains an invisible digital signature. In this case you cannot apply other signatures (e-signatures) as they would break the digital signature.

  • No longer able to place my "Draw my signature" option.

    For years now I have been signing my PDF's with the signature I drew within Acrobat. But the last week or two. That option has not been available to me. Acrobat appears to only want me to place a certificate style signature. I do not want this. Can I reset Adobe Acrobat so I can use the "Draw my signature" option?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Thank you for your response. Sorry I took a while to get back to you, but my family visited from New Jersey and Indiana and I have one child who lives near me and we were all busy and one family arrived ill. That was followed soon after by a leak in a pipe in my yard that bled out $400 worth of water in a week. With sick people in the house and the city turning off the water. So, my computer problems took a comfortable back seat.
    I know the CS4 is old, but it worked a month ago before I got a new hard drive. I still have the same OS (Windows 7 Pro), so I know that's not it. I think it just installed with some quirks. I'd reinstall, but PhotoTools has to be installed after it. I had to call them up and get them to authenticate the product key and if I reinstall CS4, I'll have to do the same with PhotoTools and then fight with them again to authenticate it. I'm hoping to find a fix without a reinstall. That's for PhotoShop. As far as InDesign, it was reading docx'es a month ago, so that's not it either. I also don't want to upgrade because I'm an old lady and am used to functioning effectively with CS4. I've had PhotoShop since 01991. Back when PageMaker (the precursor of InDesign) was owned by Aldus.
    I can do workarounds for these issues,  but I just want to be able to work the way I was before. Oh God of the cyberheavens, why can't it be easy? There is also no way to get an answer from Adobe. They don't support previous versions. If you have any other insights, I'm here, open to the possibilities.

  • Place Image option is missing in Acrobat 9

    I'm trying to add an image object (jpg image) into a document.  Following the instructions to use Advanced Editing>Touchup Object tool, the right clicking, there are no options displayed.  The option to "place image" is absent.
    This previously functioned, but now it'g gone.  Any help??

    Security Restrictions of the document are unknown.
    The problem was
    resolved following an Adobe "repair" procedure, then I re-created the
    pdf file by printing it to pdf (the document had a few "typewriter"
    objects on it). Starting again from this point, the insert image options
    were present upon right click.
    My guess is that if there are
    typewriter objects on the document, this provides some conflict with the
    advanced editing tools. IF this is the case, the "help" sections on
    inserting images needs some more helpful info of this nature. Thanks for
    the response.

  • How do I activate the "Signature" options of a PDF document created 11/8/13

    How do I activate the "Signature" options on a PDF document?

    Hi Spud640,
    Click the Sign button on the toolbar to open the Sign panel
    The panel is divided into three sections, expand the I Need to Sign section
    Click the Place Signature button under Fill & Sign
    Select the Draw my signature radio button
    Use your mouse to create a signature in the large edit field
    Click the Accept button
    At this point the cursor is the signature, where ever you click in the file will place this image,
    Unless you clear the signature, the next time you select the Place Signature button you won't see the dialog above, it will just go right to turning the cursor into your signature.

  • Apply Ink Signature Option Grayed-Out

    Why would other computers except mine within my company who have the most recent Reader installed not be able to access the "apply ink signature" option under "extended?" I have enabled extended features.

    Hi Aimaob,
    Are you using an English version of Acrobat? The reason I ask is because there is no "Extended" menu item in version 11 and I'm wondering if there is a translation issue here. Also. the Place Signature tool on the I Need to Sign tool panel doesn't ask you to drag out a rectangle (that's a differnt tool), rather it initially brings up the Place Signature dialog where you can create a signature annotation in several different formats, one of which is Draw my signature. Once you've create a signature image the next time you click on the Place Signature tool the signature appearance is displayed as a stamp that can be resized after you apply it.
    The drag out a signature rectangle dialog pops up when you open the Work with Certificates tool panel and then select the Sign with Certificate tool.

  • Adobe XI when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign

    when i use signature option i try to use rectangle, it gives option of certificate signature, does not give me webcam or digital signature or any other option to sign, have downgraded to Adobe X, no options show. Have upgraded back to XI no change. Free software I am using currently.

    There are two types of signatures in PDF: electronic signatures, which are just images (stamps, text, image) and digital signatures.
    If you want to use electronic signatures in Acrobat XI go to Fill&Sign->Place Signature. If a drag rectangle for the digital signature dialog comes up, you have selected digital signatures and Acrobat/Reader remembered it. Cancel it, go back to Fill&Sign->Place Signature and click a triangle to the left of "Place Signature". Then click on "Changed Saved Signature" and select the electronic signature type you want to use.
    If you want to use digital signatures you can create custom digital signature appearance. Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Creation&Appearance->More. In the "Appearances" section click "New". You will be presented with the dialog that allows you to create a custom appearance. If you want to put there your picture or image of your ink signature, you need to prepare this image as a file beforehand, select "Image" radio button, browse to the location of your image file. In Reader you can use only PDF as your image file. In Acrobat you can use many more file formats: JPEG, PNG, etc.

  • Can not keep drawable signature option in reader on a form with a mailto: submit button added.

    I hope someone has run into this.  I have acrobat 11.0.10 to create fill-able forms and reader 11.0.10 to view and fill them.  Do to the nature of the forms a drawn signature is required and is available right up until I add a submit button with a mailto: action.  Then all that is available in the reader is the digital certificate.  I should add that I save the form without reader extensions.  Is there a way to add the auto-adressed mailto function for the person filling the form and still keep the drawable signature option for signing?

    - is it possible to have more than one form on the page. If so how do
    I determine which form is submitted isDefined('form1'),
    isDefined('form2') does not seem to work,
    /quote
    Yes.
    - if there are two buttons in the form how can I tell which one was
    preses as both seem to return true when tested with isDefined()
    /quote
    Give the buttons different name attributes. On your action page check
    with StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_first_button") and
    StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_second_button") which one was pressed.

  • How do I stop an unwanted pop-up, "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDF File"?

    Whenever I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X, a pop-up appears at the upper right-hand corner of the document display window that says "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDf file".
    Is there some way that I can stop this pop-up from appearing everytime I open a PDF?
    Thanks.

    Click on "Sign" so that the Sign pane opens and leave it open for a few seconds. It wont re-appear if you re-launch Reader now.
    HTH.

  • Expanding email signature options in iphoto 08

    When I email one photo from an open event in iphoto, I am provided with signature options. One option is one of my 4 email account addresses, and the other option is "no signature".
    I would like to have all my email account addresses appear as signature options.
    I have looked through the mail preferences and the iphoto preferences, but cannot find a solution. Anyone know the solution to this one? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That would be best answered in the Mail and Address Book forum.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Signature option in Adobe Reader.

    Why is the signature option in Adobe Reader one "greyed out" for iPad users, you can no longer access your signatures and add them to a document ?

    Hi F & F,
    If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4   Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at  Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

  • Place signature & DigSigHFT (Acrobat Plug-in [C++])

    Hello All
    I have problems with operation "Place signature" in Adobe Acrobat Prof
    I get sigField==null in callback function DSNewSigDataWithParams after user place signature inside document with help of "Place signature" button.
    I see only DigSigBBox in parameters with size of new signature.
    How I can get position of new signature from Acrobat?

    Example of code:
    ACCB1 DSSaveType ACCB2 DSNewSigDataWithParams(DigSigNewSigDataParams sigParams, void **pSigData)
    if (CosObjEqual(sigParams->sigField, CosNewNull()))
    //I need to create new signature field here, but I don't know positon of new signature in document
    //I only know size of new signature (I can get it from sigParams->bb)
    1. Is it bug in Acrobat?
    2. Maybe can I use other callback functions to get position of new signature?
    3. Maybe must Acrobat create signature by self and put it to DSNewSigDataWithParams?

The document I am trying to add the signature to is definitely a PDF but there is still no signature option showing up. Please help!!!

    HI,
    I had the same issue,
    You need to convert documents to PDF first (Files, export as PDF)
    And then you will have the option!
