'Sign and Save As' in Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional

Hello!
I realize this is not a critical error or anything, but it is a major nuisance to the tech-unsavy and easily frustrated in my office.
When signing a document with a Digital Signature in Acrobat 7.0, you had the option to "Sign and Save" which would allow you to do so with one click. In Acrobat 8.0, that option has been replaced with "Sign and Save As" which gives you no choice but to browse to the folder you want to save the file. It automatically opens to the right folder, but you then have to click again to confirm that you want to overwrite the existing file.
Since our files are always in the same folder and always replace the one preceding it, this is completely unnecessary and I inevitably get a call from someone in the office who freezes when confronted with a scary dialogue box asking for input.
So my questions is: is there a setting to revert back to "Sign and Save"? Or is this an option in a more recent version of Acrobat?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Best,
Perry

Unfortunately, it looks like the "sign and save as" behavior is the only one available in Acrobat 8 and 9. I believe this was because many people were confused about where the signed document ended up or wanted to preserve the original pre-signature document and didn't realize they were going to overwrite it.
I don't see any setting related to this in the Security Administration Guide at www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_security

Unable to digitally sign and save a PDF document

I am currently using ADOBE ACROBAT 8.0 Professional (Ver 8.1.0). I provide proofreading service for a client. The client provides me with a PDF which I use the comment and mark up tool to indicate required changes. Once all of the comments are complete, I mark the document approved or disapproved and attach a digital signature.
Recently, many files that I have recieved from the client will not allow me to sign and save the PDF. I can save the PDF without the signature but not when it is digitally signed. The error reads:
"The document could not be saved. A number is out of range"
I queried my client to find out if they have made any changes. They have recently upgraded to Illustrator 4 and they create the PDF's for me from the Illustrator files they work from. There are four teams using the same Illustrator program but not all of them are producing files that I cannot sign and save.
Can anyone tell me what the error indicates? Is there a property assigned to the document that I can not recognize that refers to this problem.
Since the files I work on contain proprietary information, I prefer not to attach them to this forum. If anyone is interested in helping, I will share a file to fully explain my problem.

I will try that, thank you.

PDF attachment sign and save problem

I've used digital signatures for quite a while without problem. Recently, I've noticed that when trying to digitally sign a PDF attachment from Outlook 2003 or 2010 using Adobe Acrobat Standard 7, I get an error when clicking Sign and Save. The Sign and Save As button works fine
Error is:
The document could not be signed.
There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved.
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

I will try that, thank you.

Fill and save form in Acrobat Reader + checkbox problem

I use Acrobat Pro X to create fillable forms and then save the file as Reader Extended PDF - Enable Additional Features, and when I want to open it and fill it in in Acrobat Reader, I get a pop-up saying I can only save it as a blank document.
Another issue I'm having is that when I fill it in Preview and save it, everything saves except the checkboxes, they are always blank.
Could this be because I'm using Mac OS X Lion?

I'm sure I open the one that I save as enabled version but it does sound like the file is just being saved as a regular PDF. Here is the screenshot below of the security settings, I'm not sure exactly what the enabled version is supposed to show.
And here is the message I'm getting:

Signing and saving a document in Acrobat 8.0

We would like to bypass the sign and save As dialog which appears when
1. Sign a document
2. click on Sign
Is there any way we could acheive this

We have written a plugin. We do not wish to interfere with the Signing process. All we want is that the original document should be saved with the signature instead of displaying the Save As dialog.
In Acrobat 7.0, there were 2 buttons on the Sig Dialog viz. "Sign And Save" and "Sign And Save As". Sign And Save would save the signature in the same document. However in Acrobat 8, there is only one button "Sign" and this button displays the Save As dialog. The behavior is similar to Sign And Save As in Acrobat 7.

Signing and saving docs

I am creating a fillable form with Digital signature approval. I want to have the approval sign the document and it automatically saves as a unique name so it can then be emailed to the next approver. Help - I am not a programmer!

Acrobat Pro 9 e-sign and SharePoint 2010 integration

Hello,
I cannot get an Acrobat Pro 9 created document with electronic signature fields to open in SharePoint 2010 so it can be checked out, signed, saved and checked back in. I have seen discussions on this subject from 2011, but have not come across any solutions. Has there been a fix to this yet?

There are several different scenarios that happen. I am testing the document before I send it out the links again to have users esign. Not every user has Pro 9. Some only have Reader 8. I am uploading the unsigned document created in Pro 9 to a SharePoint 2010 site. There are 10 different signature fields – none of them are locked. When I go to the document to sign under the “edit” function in SharePoint I get an error that says object label badly formatted when trying to save, or I am able to sign once and save, and when I got to test signature number 2 it cannot open the document. Every time I upload it to SharePoint I have to enable Reader 8 usage rights. Sometime it lets me do it, and sometimes it says “this document could not be reader enabled.” It does not seem to be stable. Sometimes it works and then just a few minutes later it has problems. Please advise. Thanks.

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them.

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them. I looked at easySign, Filemaker, FM Touch, Sign Docs, Zosh, Exzact, Mi-Co

FormConnect (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1) can handle the filling out, signing, saving and emailing the contracts/forms but uploading the contract and the form is going to be a challenge because you’re dealing with paper documents that have to be scanned. If you can convert the scanned documents into an OCR program, you might be able to copy and paste the contract without having to retype it but the form itself is probably going to have to be recreated. Alternatively, you could use a document annotation program such as iAnnotate and mark up the contract with ink.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

I just updated Acrobat Pro and now I am unable rotate and save .PDFs - Help!

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I updated this via the Adobe site on Friday. Now I am unable to do two very important editing tasks that I was previously able to do. I am unable to rotate individual pdf pages within a larger set. I am also unable to rotate a pdf sheet and save it. Please help!

I uninstalled the update completely and reinstalled 9 Pro. I don't remember the version number of the update. I updated it on Friday so I assume it was whichever is the latest.
I am unable to save the file after I rotate the sheet. I can do a save-as, but it does not save the sheet as I rotated it. I am also unable to select and rotate an individual sheet within a larger set.

Why does new version of Adobe reader for Windows 8 not give signed and saved document the "signed" extension when you save the file after placing a signature... this worked on an earler version.

I have upgraded my PC to new Windows 8 machine .. Now when I place a signature on document and save it does not automatically place a "signed" extension on the filename. Previous version on my machine always did this.
Why is this , can I set up my new version to do same...

When you "save as" as opposed to simply "save", there is sometimes a different location for the file to be saved. When you "save as" to the same location as an original, you will bewarned that a file already exists with that name and be asked if you're sure you want ot overwrite the original file. If you didn't see that when "saving as", you probably saved the signed file to a different location.

How to sign VBA Code in AO and save it on BW-IP side.

Does anybody know if it is possible to sign vba code in AO and save this as Document into BW-IP (to SAP NetWeaver)?
If I try to sign the complete Workbook with a certificate I always get the prompt to convert the file into a Excel file, is it still possible than to save the Workbook to SAPNetWeaver? Anybody tried?

Hi,
I have done that many times. Create a button in the toolbar,say 'SAVE'. Write the code in the subroutine user command.For example :
*&      Form USER_COMMAND
FORM USER_COMMAND USING R_UCOMM LIKE SY-UCOMM
        RS_SELFIELD TYPE SLIS_SELFIELD.
DATA : REF_GRID TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
DATA: L_VALID TYPE C.
*Code to reflect the changes done in the internal table
IF REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
      IMPORTING
        E_GRID = REF_GRID.
ENDIF.
IF NOT REF_GRID IS INITIAL.
    CALL METHOD REF_GRID->CHECK_CHANGED_DATA
      IMPORTING
        E_VALID = L_VALID.
ENDIF.
CASE SY-UCOMM.
    WHEN 'SAVE'.
    PERFORM BDC."Write all you BDC code in this subroutine
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Rock.

How to rotate and save documents in both Reader and Acrobat Pro?

I am reciving Emails with documents that are attached to them. They come to me upside down.
I rotate them so they are in the correct position and save them to my desk top.
But, when I re-open them the darn things are upside down again.
How can I permanently change the rotation of a document?
Thanks!
Dunc

In Reader you can't.
In Acrobat, you select the pages and use the Rotate tools in the page navigator (the left side panel) - *not* the options on the View menu; those are just temporary.

Hi,
According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
as a new version.
I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

How to sign and enable rights

I know there have been some discussions about Reader Extensions and the like, so please forgive me. I'm new to all of this and I just don't understand.
Is there a very simple, plain English guide on signing and enabling rights? My agency has finally informed me that we don't have Reader Extensions, and likely won't be getting it at any point in the near future. In order to enable user rights for people that only have Reader, is it pointless now for me to design forms in LiveCycle? Filling in forms seems to work out OK with Reader, but there are some things I can't restrict (markup, comments, etc). And there are some things I can't enable (adding attachments, for example).
As really the only guy working here that seems interested in Adobe products (IT didn't even know Reader has the ability to add attachments to a document), what are my options for restricting/enabling usage rights for forms created in LiveCycle, but without the aid of Reader Extensions? Can some/all of these rights be controlled via Acrobat X Pro? In other words, can I create a form in LiveCycle, and manage the rights enabling/restricting in Acrobat X Pro? I would imagine that would require a digital signature or certificate. I went over to Verisign and got lost. If I can do such things with a digital certificate, where and how would I go about obtaining one?
Sorry, again, for such basics. Most of the literature and discussions seem to aim at those more familiar with the products and services.

I'm sure that others on the forum would have a better answer for you but I'm going to take a stab at this.
Once you create the form in LiveCycle, open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Once open, select File/Save as and from the fly out menu select "Reader Extended PDF" and from that flyout menu, select "Enable Additional Features". Then it will ask you to save it again.
Once you do this, the form can be filled in with the regular Adobe Reader, the form can be saved, and the form can be used for Markup tools, such as sticky notes, redaction, digital stamps with the users' name and date, and digital signatures.
When the person selects to sign the document in the "Extended" section of Adobe Reader X, they will create a self signed signature certificate. Each signature generates it's own serial number. Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't restrict the creation of digital signatures so you can make one in your name, your dog's name, etc and yet all the signatures will validate and look absolutely legitimate.
And unfortunately, the same is true of digital stamps. All you have to do is right click the stamp and you can change the sign on id and forge another's stamp.
I hope this helped for what you are trying to do. Good luck.
