  • PDF File with Digital Signature

    The following message is displayed:
    "An error occured while parsing a contents stream. Unable  to analyze the PDF file."
    So whats the solution for this error?

  • Securing pdf document with digital signatures

    I have a pdf document that has digital signatures. We need to secure it so no one who has input their digital signature can go back in later, delete their signature and then 're-sign' it. But I get an error message telling me I can't secure the document because it has digital signatures.
    Is there any way to secure the document so only I can secure/unsecure it after digital signatures have been input?
    Thanks!

    You don't need to use document encryption to lock the PDF file. You can set the signature field properties to mark all fields as read-only at signature creation. Try this:
    Select the Tools > Toolbars > Advanced Editing menu item
    Click the Select Object tool on the Advanced editing toolbar (it's the arrow icon)
    Right mouse click on the signature field and select Properties from the pop-up menu
    Select the Signed tab on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
    Select the Mark as read-only radio button and All fields from the corresponding drop-down list
    Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
    Select the File > Save As menu item and save a copy (in other words, leave the original copy as is in case you find you locked yourself out of the document, that way you'll have a fall-back recovery option)
    Good luck,

  • PDF Generation with Digital Signature

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to attach digital signature to the generated PDF output.
    I am trying to use 'SSF' function modules from the function group 'SSFG' to achieve this.
    Can anyone let me know the detailed steps to attach digital signature to a file and later verify it from the customer's end?

    Hi.....
    Thnq for the reply.
    I think its not a correct procedure.
    Its not a just a simple image that is uploaded into SAP and can be used.
    For putting a Digital Signture one has to buy a certificate from a authority ,
    with that certficate one has a set of Public and Proivate key... and algorithm which checks whether the PDF is changed after the sign is done.
    and Most of all the Signature is legal Binding and can be Sued
    so we cannot do that

  • Formatting .pdf documents with digital signature block

    I have created a 2007 MS Access database that exports reports to .pdf format. The reports look great and all works well. The issue I have now is finding a way to automatically apply to a signature block to the reports after they are created. Is there some sort of code format or text I can add to the report prior to it being exported to a .pdf file where Adobe will recognize it as a digital signature block, and create a digital signature block on the form? Several of these forms will be created daily and it would not be productive to manually add signature blocks to every single report.

  • Combine .pdf's with digital signatures

    Hi all
    I can't seem to get this right.  I have a set of Drawings (blue prints) that are signed as individual pages/.pdfs.  I need to combine them into one file (not a portfolio), how can I make this happen?
    Also - I do NOT need to keep the integrity of the signatures from the individual sheets.  I just need to combine them with or without the seal/signature.

    Adding the pages individually seems to work, adding them by highlighting and dragging over pushes the pages out of order.  I am dealing with hundreds to thousands of pages.  I’ll check to see how to Flatten.
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat XI Pro - How can I have clients sign pdf docs with stylus on my Tablet PC WITHOUT having to subscribe to signature services like EchoSign?

    I was told there was a "Setting" in XI Pro that would allow me to have clients sign pdf documents with a stylus on my Tablet PC (I have a MS Surface Pro 2), without having to sign up for EchoSign or any other electronic signature service. Is that correct? If so, what is the setup or settings?

    There are several third party plugins for Adobe Reader and Acrobat on the market, which allow to use the display of a tablet PCs as a capture device for handwritten signatures. Some of those plugins are enabling also the combination with real digital signatures without the need of any previous registration of the signatory.

  • PDF by email in 46C with digital signature

    Hi all,
    can anyone tell me if it is possible to send a PDF with digital signature from SAP in 4.6C?
    I'm converting a spool order into PDF document, and send it by email using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1..
    Best Regards,
    Pedro

    Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
    More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?

  • Signing pdf dokuments with the Microsoft Surface pen. How to make the signature a non-editable part of the file?

    Hi!
    I have purchased a Microsoft Surface PRO 3. One main reason for the purchase is to sign pdf´s with the Surface-pen on the screen, save the file and avoid paper-printing the documents. Problem is however that the signature doesnt become a solid part of the document when saving it. This makes the signatures randomly not visible on some apple-produkcts, some printers etc.
    I use only a free-download-version of the Adobe reader.My question is if a pro-version allow me to save the documents with the electronic signatures as a fixed part of the document - like the rest of the pdf-content?
    Regards Trygve Wedset 

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
    Kindly refer this FAQ:http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/how-to-convert-just-part-of-a-pdf-file/

  • Digital Signatures: Multiple Tasks and Signers

    Hello, All-
    Context: We have a repair and overhaul operation that has several technicians performing maintenance. Basic workflow: product comes in, gets the paperwork for the specific maintenance, and then travels through the facility to be broken down, serviced, rebuilt, tested, and returned to service. We would like the "paperwork" to be all electronic (which we can do with Acrobat by using PDF documents), but there are several tasks that require a technician's signature. Not a digital signature for the WHOLE document, just a task in the document.
    Objective: Multiple technicians signing off on mutilple tasks, all in one document.
    Questions: Can we modify the document (i.e., add/insert pages) in Acrobat after a digital signature is applied using the Reader? Do those signing off on the tasks only need the Reader to create and apply the signature files? Can multiple signature files be stored in a centralized location, since technicians use work station machines (rather than a computer issued specifically to them)?
    Doing some investigation for the best solution. Sorry for the series of long questions.

    > "No. However, this can't be done in Reader under any circumstances... Reader is just that, a reader of PDF files. It can't edit them in any meaningful way, like add new pages (unless a special template was set up for this purpose)."
    - I should have clarified: we would like to modify the document using the full Acrobat Suite after digital signature. Signing once locks the entire document from further edits.
    > "Not 100% sure about that, but I think the answer is no. Signatures have to located on the local machine."
    - That's a problem: then every technician needs a digital signature on every machine. Not suitable at an enterprise/department level.
    I just found an answer to the basic concept, as it was answered just yesterday (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1338837): I can leverge the Stamp feature and create a custom stamp to act as a signature. I can still modify the document after applying the stamp.
    Now the test: can others remove my stamp?
    Edit: Thanks for the help, BTW. I see you edited your answer to question #1. Again, maybe the stamp feature is sufficient?

  • Risks associated with digital signatures

    We are looking to develop a process to use digital signatures on PDF documents, send them via email to a line manager, who adds his digital signature as a "stamp of approval" who then emails them to a specific department for processing. Are there any risks associated with using digital signatures in adobe, and general best practices for their usage, or best practices to mitigate the risks associated with them.

    If you procure and use commercially-issued credentials (not self-signed), digital signatures are much safer than any other signatures.
    1. They tell you whether the signed document has been altered. The document's author may specify which alterations (like form fill or signing) are acceptable. A digital signature tells you what kind of alterations in the document occurred after signing. In Acrobat you can always get the signed version before any alterations occurred.
    2. The digital signature tells you who the signer is (not only from the appearance but from the signing credential which is present in the signatures).
    3. The signing credential of a digital signature can be verified on-line that it has not been revoked and is still good. Acrobat has a feature to embed revocation information in the document, so that you can get verification that the signing credential was good at the signing time even if you do not have Internet access.
    4. In Acrobat the last signer can lock the signature, so that no other modifications of the document are allowed.
    So, there are many advantages to using digital signatures. The only risk that you have is that a signing credential can be stolen if someone has an access to the computer or token where the credential is stored AND gets hold of the credential's password. Each credential is password protected, so you guard this password as you guard any other password. If you suspect that someone got hold of your credential and password you can always ask the credential's issuer to revoke this credential and to issue you a new one. In this case the only time span when someone may use your credential is the time lag between the time the credential was stolen and the time the issuer revoked it.

  • Having problems combining PDF files with electronic signatures...

    I have Adobe Pro XI and I've been trying to combine numerous PDF files. They are each 2 pages and contain electronic signatures. When I attempt to combine them it appears to be working and then suddenly Adobe just closes with no error message or anything??

    Think about it: You sign a document and then someone adds some pages to it
    and pretends you signed those as well. You wouldn't what that to happen,
    would you? Well, with digital signatures it can be prevented.

    This can be done but you must use the Document Form var to route the signed pdf. You must configure the FormGuide submit button to 'Submit from PDF' in Guide Builder.
    Also the button on the form must be configured to submit as 'PDF' (not XDP). This change is done when you open the form in designer.
    Note that after you have submitted the signed pdf you will be dealing with a pdf subsequently.
    Attached is a sample FormGuide.
