Signature Appearances Available to Multiple IDs?

My wife and I both need to digitally sign a bank document.  The document requires us to both place full signatures and initial several locations.  Since I received the document in electronic format, I would prefer to electronically sign the documents.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on Window XP 32-bit (my work computer), and I've never used digital signatures before, so I began by creating an ID for myself.  I used the following steps:
I created my ID with my contact information (name, email address, etc).
I applied a strong password to the signature.
I created an appearance that contained today's date and a JPEG of my signature.
I created another appearance that contained just my initials.
I created a final appearance that contained just my name.
I saved the key to a PFX file.
I then began the same steps to create an ID for my wife (on the same Windows account and without closing Acrobat).  I thought that when I created a new ID that Acrobat would create an ID without appearances.  Instead, all the appearances I created for my ID were available for my wife's ID, too.  Thus, I was able to place a signature using my wife's ID but the image was of my signature.
Did I miss something?  Are appearances stored with the ID, and if so, how does Acrobat separate them amongst IDs?  I looked through Acrobat's help, but the only site I found was one talking about creating appearances, and it didn't talk about working with multiple IDs.
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Matthew,
Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I really mean both Acrobat and Reader) saves the appearances and digital ID files in the user's space as allocated by the operating system. If you have no log on when you start the computer (that is, it just boots up and you end up on the Desktop) then there is probably only one user that was created when you first set up the computer. If you have a log in screen where you select a user name and type in a password then there are probably accounts for both you and your wife. Whomever you are logged in as, that's where the files are going to be stored. More specifically, I'm referring to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Security where <user name> will depend on the log in name.
I hope this helped,
Steve

  • Change Default Digital Signature Appearance

    Looking for assistance on this one because I'm not finding the information anywhere.
    Is there a way to change the default Appearance option from "Standard Text" to another custom created Appearance.  Or even remove the "Standard Text" option altogether leaving only the custom created Appearance option available?
    We have Users who continue to utilize the "Standard Text" option for signing documents instead of the custom one available as the next option down in the drop-down box.
    Thanks,
    BSwayngim

    Hi,
    There is no method of setting the default. The registry keeps track of the last appearance used, but it's by index position and if someone added (or removed) a custom appearance it would negate what you are trying to do.
    However, if everyone is going to have the same custom signature appearance available to them at signing time you could use Seed Value to enforce the rule that they select a specific appearance. To read up on how to use JavaScript to set a Seed Value go to http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9/Acrobat9_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.ht m?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88.1.html#1515776&accessible=true and then click the Search button. Search for Seed Value and then select signatureSetSeedValue from the list of returned items.
    The JavaScript code would look like
    var f= this.getField("Signature1");
    f.signatureSetSeedValue({
        appearanceFilter: "My Custom App",
        flags:0x100
    where the name of the signature field noted in the first line and the name of the appearanceFilter would depend on your naming convention.
    I hope this helps,
    Steve

  • Dynamic digital signature appearance

    I searched but it seems like the subject hasn't been treated.
    Ok, I've read "Digital Signature Appearance" by Adobe, and find out how to put my own image when displaying digital signatures.
    Looking at some tutorial from the iText authors, I saw that it is possible to specify different images to display on the signature validation
    status.
    This is a very cool feature, but unfortunately it is not documented at all in Adobe's documents... (I had to found a patent description document
    to get more info)
    Here is what I've discovered: the signature appearance is organized in several layers (4 defined by Adobe, the others by the document producer),
    painted sequencially when showing the document.
    What I'm looking for is the way to the various layers are used: one may be used when the signature validation status is unknown, another when
    the validation was successful and a last when it failed.
    For now, all my layers are painted, no matter of the signature validation.
    (description in "Dynamic preview of electronic signature" is on page 9)

    The multiple-layer model for digital signature appearances in PDF was deprecated and is no longer part of the ISO standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1).  The signature appearance is a STATIC thing - as it should be - and can not be changed "on the fly" by the content of the PDF.

  • Can I use multiple IDs for one iTunes and multiple devices

    We have one family computer with iTunes, my older brother has an iPhone and I have an iPhone. A family ID was previously used to purchase songs for the family to share. My older brother has created an apple ID for his iPhone, and l have a yet unused apple ID. my brother downloaded songs etc onto the family iTunes that I would like to share, there are songs on the family apple ID that we would both like. Can you download purchases from multiple apple IDs into one iTunes  account, then sync that data onto multiple phones that each have a separate ID? Is iTunes linked to one ID? Can purchases from multiple IDs be grouped together in our family account. Also do I Actually need a separate Apple for my iPhone to prevent private messages and contacts being shared?
    Thanks for any advice

    I forgot to add my iPhone is brand new and unused, and also that the iTunes account has non purchased songs on there. Can these be shared. As it is a new computer the purchases from the family ID have not been downloaded yet

  • We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • How to use image from a file in signature appearance.

    Hi,
    I am creating a Plugin for acrobat 9, using PubSec using DocSign sample as basis. I have created the appearance using text objects and the logos data that came with the DocSign sample. But I want to use image from a file (like, jpg) in the signature appearance creation. So far the documentation doesnt tell how to achieve this.
    Can you please tell me in a  "How-to" kinda way to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for ur prompt reply.
    There are so many samples in the sdk. which one is the "sample for adding images."?

  • Sending email notifications to multiple IDs from lookup?

    Is it possible to send email notifications to multiple ids by putting them in the decode column of a lookup separated by semicolon or nay other identifier?
    OR is there any other way of sending email notfications to mutiple ids (not through Java mail) ?
    Thanks,
    Abhi

    Try this to fetch the emails ids from the Lookup.
    Suppose you have got a string say x from Lookup using "Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Decode"
    String x = "[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]";
    StringTokenizer AA = new StringTokenizer(x.trim(), ";");
    while(AA.hasMoreTokens())
    int i = 0;
    while(i <= AA.countTokens())
    String B= AA.nextToken();
    AAList.add(B);
    i++;
    Now you have the list just make a for loop
    sendMail.setSubject("SUBJECT");
    sendMail.setBody("BODY";
    sendMail.setFromAddress(from);
    for (int i=0;i<emailList.size();i++){
    String email = AAList.get(i).toString();
    sendMail.sendEmail(email);
    If you need any help, let me know. I think we have written the whole code here. :-)

  • HT1926 I can download iTunes update but it is removed as error of invalid signature appears.

    Trying to update iTunes, it downloads fine but is the download file is removed when the error message "invalid signature" appears.  What should I do?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How to create an Image that is available to multiple locations?

    I can create an image from a virtual machine, but this image is only available to the location where the virtual machine was originally created (for example East US).
    I want to create a single image that is available to multiple locations (East US, North Europe, Southeast Asia, etc...)
    Is this possible?  I've noticed that stock images are available to multiple locations, can user images be configured in the same way?
    Thanks

    hi,
    As far as I know, it is not supported currently. But you could use a compromise method. You could copy the Image into other regions storage account. Then you could create the VM using yourself Image. But you may be charged the outbound data. I recommend
    you could refer to this thread (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/04956637-45c5-40c9-9422-5b1c4de681bf/how-to-move-virtual-machine-to-a-different-region?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows

  • Acrobat Upgrade and Signature Appearances

    We're about to upgrade our Acrobat users from X to XI. We've got a number of users who have created custom signature appearances they use when signing documents. In the past when we upgraded Acrobat these signature appearances were lost. Is there a way to move existing signature appearances to the new version when upgrading so that they don't need to be recreated by users?

    Search the system for a file called "appearances.acrodata". It should be in the Acrobat user folder, in the Security subfolder. The specific location depends on the version of Acrobat/Reader and OS. For example, on Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Security\appearances.acrodata

  • Buddies with multiple IDs: how to message to a specific one?

    Here's a relatively simple problem, on the face of it, that I can't figure out how to solve. Is there in fact a solution?
    I have an increasing number of buddies with multiple IDs (almost always AIM), for instance, one for home and one for work. Because most of them have broadband in both places, they don't shut their computers down in either location and are usually signed in to iChat/AIM in both. I've got their various IDs noted in their cards in Address Book, but in iChat I only see one entry for the person regardless of which ID, or both, is signed in at the moment. There doesn't seem to be much logic to which picture iChat displays along with the entry, so I can't ever tell which ID I am looking at. I know that a mouseover on the iChat entry will tell me the status of all IDs associated with that person, but how can I send a message to the ID that I want?
    Example: buddy is at work and signed in using work ID. Buddy's spouse is at home, also signed in, using home ID. I see one entry for my buddy, showing as active. It might display the home picture and it might display the work picture. If it's the home ID, and open a message window, I'll be messaging with the spouse at home, instead of with my buddy at work -- and I don't see any way to get at the other ID. Is there a way to pick the ID I want to message with?
    I see that I can keep them separate if I create different groups and add each ID, from the same card, to each group. But that's clumsy (as is creating separate cards altogether) and basically removes the meaningfulness of the groups. Is there some obvious trick I am missing, or is what I want to do just not possible?

    Hi Ralph,
    You're exactly right; I need to do the opposite. I suspect it just isn't possible or the solution would be more self-evident. As I mentioned in my original post, the only way I've been able to make it work is to add the IDs separately in iChat and make sure they are added to different groups. Doing this will keep them separate but based on the same Address Book card. In the same group, however, they collapse into one entry and lose their meaning. Unfortunately, keeping separate groups for such a purpose makes the groups essentially meaningless.
    As I would imagine this to be an increasingly common occurrence, this seems to be a definite shortcoming of iChat.
    Thanks for your response.

  • Custom template available across multiple site collections

    I have created a custom site template which I need to be available across multiple site collections. Is there a global area where I can put the .wsp file so that I can use it within any site collection.
    I also have a custom document library which I need to be available from with the site made from the custom site template mentioned above - Is there a global area where I can put the .stp file so that I can use it within any site within any site collection.
    thanks

    This will really depend how the template has been packaged.  If it's a content type, than editing this and making sure that the "update content type" radio is selected will do the trick. Can you ask someone who's made one to show you how they generate
    the template. If it's within the New --> XXX Document, than you're in luck
    If they're just deployed as normal files within a library, you'll have a much harder time.

  • Similar Monitor available in multiple places

    I have just a general question about monitors in SCOM. I was setting some overrides for monitoring CPU utilization and noticed that the same (or very similar) monitor was available in multiple locations. for Example, the "Total CPU Utilization Percentage"
    monitor can be found in these three locations.
    Windows Server 2008 Core Operating System
    Windows Server 2008 Full Operating System
    Windows Server 2008 Operating System
    What location would be the proper place to set the override for the monitor?  I assume that it is the last one, Windows Server 2008 Operating System, and that it would cover all installations of the 2008 OS.  Just a little confused about what SCOM
    does with the three different groups or if it is really just "Core Only", "Full GUI Only" and "All 2008".  
    Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    Hi 
    by design scom class will inherit the monitor apply to the base class, you can override the monitor at any state of the monitor by selecting "all objects of class" in override option.
    you can cross check the overrides by using override explorer
