Sign Once (Signature Pad) & Copy Signature Image Many?

Does anyone know how to sign a document once with a signature pad (or with a signature image applied to a digital signature,we suppose) and then attempted to copy the signature image into other image objects in the form?  We’re assembling large sets of forms with multiple signature areas, and one common end page where the signature is captured by the signature pad.  The requirement is to fill-out all associated signatures so that the customer only has to sign once (yes, this has been approved by legal).
What we’ve tried to do is to bind and image field in the form to the same XML element where the signature image data is bound. The signature field, of course, is not bound to anything as there is no binding tab.  The problem is where do we find it (if it’s even exposed)?  We’ve written JS to dump the entire XFA data out of the form, but the signature info is just not there.
Any other ideas we may pursue?  If this helps, we're using a Topaz SignatureGem 1x5 signature pad (see attached link).  We’ll need to worry about invalidating the single digital signature if we can figure this out, but just trying to get through the first hurdle.  Not sure if it's possible, as well, to copy one signature to another in its entirety.
Thanks for anyone’s help in advance!

Additionally, it looks like someone opened a thread on doing this a while back, but it trailed-off (no answer):

  • Problems signing a form produced in Designer using a Wacom signature pad

    Hi, we are having a problem at work with a form produced in Designer that once signed using a Wacom signature pad does not show the signature once transferred from the pad. Other forms produced using the more traditional method of Acrobat forms have no problem.
    Is there something we need to do to sort this?
    cheers

    LeeAnn, which version of Adobe Reader where you using? was it version X (10). If so that version has a bug where if you sign a protected pdf (as described by george) it still let's you send the signed document to EchoSign. But due to the protection this silently fails.
    version 11 simply has these features grayed out which is the correct behaviour.
    If it's a PDF form that can be saved after filling out (via file>save) save th filled out copy and use EchoSign's Only I sign option:
    https://www.echosign.adobe.com/en/support/knowledgebase/Only_I_Sign.html
    that will let you upload the filled out PDF and sign it.

  • PDF Automatically saves right after signing with an e-signature pad

    Hello,
    Our office is testing out an e-signature pad from Topaz. I've got it working just fine, the only problem is right affter someone signs with the e-signature pad the oringinal PDF saves itself. I would rather have the user use the save as option and save it in a different location so the original form wont be modified and the user can always click on the oringinal to fill out a form, not make a copy of the oringinal then open the copy and fill it out. Is there a way to change this?

    You are correct George. I contacted Topaz about this problem and here's their response
    In the Windows\GemSignPdf.ini file is a parameter:
    SaveAs = 0
    Change this to:
    SaveAs = 1
    and save the file. This will prompt the user for the save location and name as opposed to saving the document as it exists already.
    So I have gotten the Save As working, I wonder why this isn't set as a default but wanted to post this on the forum just in case any other user has this issue.

  • Does anyone know how my clients can sign my adobe pdf invoice with a signature pad

    Does anyone know how i can have my clients sign my adobe pdf digital signature field on my contacts on site with a signature pad?

    Make sure you click in the text box for username and password to bring up the keyboard.
    Try powering off your iPad by holding the power button and sliding the red slider when it appears, or try resetting your iPad by holding the power and home buttons together until the apple logo appears.
    I would also highly recommend an app for facebook, it's called MyPad.

  • Adding an image when signing, but not in the signature field, in Reader

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to add an image to a pdf document when I sign the document in Reader.
    I do not want to add the image in the signature field as a signature, but rather below the signature field. The image is 'n barcode providing me with more information on the signature.
    I have looked at the Stamper example, but this functionality is not avialable in Reader.
    Thank you,
    Magda

    If you insert after signing you will break the signature!!   You need to do any such stamping BEFORE signing.

  • Can i use my iPhone as a wireless signature pad to sign a pdf thats on my imac5 or mac air

    If you could get it to work the response lag between the iPhone and Mac mini would likely make the game play painful.

  • What plugins, software do I need for Wacom STU-300 signature pad to sign pdf?

    What plugins, software do I need for Wacom STU-300 signature pad to sign a pdf?

    This isn't the correct forum for this topic, but I may be
    able to get you started...
    The licensing restrictions on gathering form data from PDFs
    is outlined in the EULA for Reader, I believe there is a limit of
    500 copies, but I could be wrong ... you should look at the EULA to
    be sure.
    Beyond that, try posting to the
    Acrobat
    Forums or contacting a sales rep at Adobe, they may be able to
    advise you further.

  • Multiple Electronic Signatures using Signature PAD

    Hello Experts,
    We have a requirement where we need to capture the electronic signature on thee PDF form at different time. This means I fill the PDF form get the 1st electronic signature using signature PAD and then saved the form. I open the same form and then take the 2nd signature. When we are taking the 2nd signature on the saved form it's making the form and signature invalid.
    Please let me know if there's a restriction by Adobe PDF such that you can't accept the signature once it's signed and saved.
    Thanks, Ritesh

    Yes, that's an e-signature. An option if you need to set up multiple e-signatures is to use stamps. They can be flattened individually, which converts them to regular page contents. The Acrobat help has more information on using stamps and you can use the following free JavaScript-based utility to flatten them after they're applied if you want: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Topaz signature pad and Reader 10/11

    Background:
    I am working on the County Attorney's Case Management Project which will make all court documents filing electronic and as part of that process we will require all signatures on court documents to be digital only.  We currently have Adobe integration with our software and will be using Adobe to sign the documents.  Currently most County Attorney's offices user Reader not Acrobat.
    Question:
    We are using a Topaz Systems SigLite 1x5 LCD Signature Pad as our test/training signature pad.  In Reader when we try to sign we are not getting a signature capture window, instead we are only able to use the default Adobe signature options of drawing, text, or inserting an image.  Is there anyway to get the signature capture to appear for use when signing?  (assuming all of the security properties for the document are set properly, which I have verified) I can get this to work perfectly in Acrobat. I'm trying to make the process of signing all of these docs for the attorneys easy and with the fewest amount of keystrokes and clicks as possible.
    Thanks!
    --erika

    Check to make sure that it's actually available in Reader. I think the following should show it: Help > About Adobe plug-ins
    There is also a user preference that can affect its availability: Edit > Preferences > General > Use only certified plug-ins
    If this doesn't help, check to make sure the plug-in is actually present in the plug-ins folder for each Reader installation.
    If you can confirm the the plug-in is correctly installed and loaded in Reader and it still doesn't work, I'd then contact Topaz.

  • How can I connect my ipad to my mac and use it as a signature pad?

    The company I work for want utilize the ipads we have and use them as signature pads for clients to sign off on authorization forms. Is this possible and How can I got about doing this?

    It has nothing to do with the device. The way Wi-Fi works, an end device can only be associated with a single access point at a time. And the iPad will attempt to latch on to the strongest signal it gets, in case there are several usable access points at any given moment.

  • Acrobat/Reader and PADES (Digital Signatures)

    I've read the document that James King of Adobe published and made the configurations to make Acrobat PADES compliant. However when I sign a document and inspect the generated CMS package inside the PDF, the signing-certificate value in Signed-Attributes is not present. So I'm assuming that the signature is still not PADES-BES compliant. Is there anything I can do to make Acrobat put a PADES-BES signature?
    Also, I for verification, I made a test. I've externally signed a PDF with a CMS packet that has signing-certificate signed attribute. The signature has been validated in Acrobat. After that, I've intentionally put a random value as signing-certificate value. When I opened that PDF, it still validated fine in Acrobat. Therefore I understand that Acrobat doesn't do full PADES-BES validation. Is this right? Is there a configuration that can make Acrobat make a full PADES validation?
    I'm using 9.1.3 version of Acrobat under Windows.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Stewen,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I've took the value of Contents dictionary value and inspected it with an ASN.1 viewer. You're right, the signing certificate is on the PKCS7 (CMS) package. However, PaDES doesn't suffice with that. It requires a signing-certificate value in the signed attributes inside SignerInfo sequence in CMS. Also, the subfilter value should say ETSI.CAdES.detached as mandated in ETSI TS 102 708-3 V.1.1.1 page 8.
    e) The signature dictionary shall contain a value of ETSI.CAdES.detached for the key SubFilter.
    Since we are mandated by EU guidelines our customers require ETSI compatibility.
    Thanks for you help

  • How can I integrate a Topaz signature pad to place the signature on the document?  It is a certificate signature on the pad that isn't going onto the document.

    Adobe doesn't support a signature pad for Adobe Acrobat but the Topaz pad sees and registers the signature on the computer but not on the document?  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Mary,
    Did you not get software from Topaz along with the signature pad? You should have gotten a file called signplus.exe (or gemsignplus) that installs the software that integrates the Topaz signature pad with Acrobat. Then you need to go to the Signature Creation preference and select Topaz as the default signing method. You can also select Always ask and then you would be prompted to select either Topaz or the traditional Acrobat digital signature when you click on a signature field.
    How to get to the signature preference depends on the version of Acrobat you are using. If you let me know I'll give you the exact steps.

  • Signature with Signature pad

    Our engineering firm needs Engineers to be able to sign pdf
    documents over their seal using a signature pad, is this possible?
    Most of the signature functions im finding are secure digital
    signatures that don't allow an actual epad signature.

    I am having the same problem. Have you solved it? Have you
    gotten any replies?

  • Unable return sucessful validate when using signature pad

    I need to verify that the user signed the form. We are using a signature pad to capture the electronic signature. And then using the code below in a button to validate. If the signature is left blank I do get the message that the "Signature is not valid: signature is blank". But if I complete the signature field I do not get anything back.
    var f = event.target.getField("form1[0].S1[0].SignatureField1[0]");
    // Validate the signature field:
    var status = f.signatureValidate();
    /* signatureValidate method returns one of the following integer validity status values:
    -1: not a signature field
    0: signature is blank
    1: unknown status
    2: signature is invalid
    3: signature is valid, identity of signer could not be verified
    4: signature and identity of signer are both valid
    // Obtain the signature information
    var sigInfo = f.signatureInfo();
    if (status < 3)
    var msg = "Signature is not valid: " + sigInfo.statusText;
    else
    var msg = "Signature is valid: " + sigInfo.statusText;
    // Display the status message:
    app.alert(msg);;
    I have also tried just returning the status using
    app.alert("Signature status: " + status);
    When I leave the signature blank I get "Signature status: 0"
    When I fill in the signature, I don't get the message box.
    Is there another command for validating with a signature pad.
    Thanks,
    Velvet

    try using the status property. This is currently working for me.
    var oState = event.target.getField(("form1[0].S1[0].SignatureField1[0]").signatureInfo().status;
