Signature field in a pdf form is coming up as having a problem

When I open my secured pdf file, I am unable to change any information in my file because it is signed, I need to be able to clear my signature. At the top of the pdf file it says at least one signature has problems. Please fill out the following form, you can save data typed into this form. HOwever, I am unable to fill out the form, because it is already signed. I need to be able to clear the signature first to edit the form. I am unable to clear the signature as the 'clear signature' panel is not highlighted. 

A signature field is a type of form field. If you want to set up the document so that a Reader user can add a digital signature, you should first add a signature field to the document and then Reader-enabled it by selecting: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features
To add form fields, select: Tools > Forms > Edit

  • Placing a signature field in a PDF in Acrobat X

    In Acrobat 9 I could place a signature field into a pdf without converting the PDF into a form.  The procedure began with clicking on the Forms tab.  I could drag the signature field to a location and a user could click on the signature field and digitally sign the doc.  How is this done in Acrobat X?  Please let me know if you need any more details.

  • Table fields to match pdf form

    I found this on my formscentral help file.
    Note: Some types of form fields aren’t supported when you import a PDF form. For example, text fields with formatting applied, such as numeric or percentage fields, are converted to plain text fields. And, signature fields aren’t converted, as Adobe FormsCentral doesn’t support this type of field.
    For more information, see Issues encountered while importing an existing PDF form.

    What I have experienced.
    Formscentral does not allow you to format the table in their views when you use a pdf as the form, only if you use the online form.
    I found that when out when I got 6 decimal points when multiplying tax, which was .04166. On the pdf it defaults to 2 decimals.
    Another thing I noticed. My pdf form date field was set to MM/dd/YY. When I just put in 5/06 in that field, on the pdf form it auto corrected it to 05/06/13. When that pdf form was submitted to formscentral, that field showed 5/06. So it is pulling exactly what you input into the pdf form regardless of how the pdf form corrects your mistakes.
    My real question is if Formscentral Is working to allow you to set the table format to work with pdf's too?
    If not are you working to add calculated fields to the online form?
    Not complaining just wanting. The product is awsome as is but this would take it a step further.

  • I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form into Microsoft Word or notepad....Help! thank you!

    I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form I created in Adobe X Pro into a Microsoft Word or Notepad document. Please help! Thank you!!

    I have created a fillable form. Part of the information from that form needs to be copied and sent to another department at work. Once i complete the fillable form (e.g. select options from a drop down, enter test in test boxes that are on the form) when i copy that section, i only get the non-fillable information pasted into word or notepad, the drop down selections and fillable text do not copy.

  • How to left align the signature field of dynamic pdf

    Hi,
    I am working on dynamic (interactive) pdf and using Adobe LiveCycle Designer (Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro). My problem is that I cannot align left the signature field of my pdf. I can align left, right and center for textboxs and cannot just do that for signature field. When I couldn't do that from GUI I went to XML code for signature and tried this:
                       <para hAlign="left"/>  but it still didn't work. Ideally it should have worked.
    I would really appreciate if you could help me.
    Regards,
    Kiran

    Use skinning. Use the following skin selector:
    af|panelFormLayout::label-cell {text-align: left; }If you want to apply it only on particular panelFormLayout, then set a custom styleClass on the given <af:panelFormLayout> tag (for example, <af:panelFormLayout styleClass="MyStyleClass" ... >) and use a styleClass-dependent skin selector:
    af|panelFormLayout.MyStyleClass::label-cell {text-align: left; }Adding a custom skin is easy. If you do not know how, see this topic in the documentation: 20.2 Applying Custom Skins to Applications

  • We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

    We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
    Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
    , and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

    Hi Alex ,
    In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
    You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
    You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .
    FAQ | Adobe Acrobat DC
    If in case you are referring to any particular issue or problem or if you face any regarding Acrobat DC ,we are always here to help you with that .

  • Javascript to fill text field from other PDF form

    I am trying to figure out if it is possible to add javascript to a text field that when initiated pulls text from another field in a closed pdf in the same directory.
    For example I have a NAME field in the pdf form I am working in....
    When I initiate the script the NAME field is filled in with the same data from another PDF that is closed.

    I have looked up the 'disclosed' property and it looks like that is what I want to do..
    I have "this.disclosed = true" in a PDF with the name field. On the other PDF that I want the information replicated I am going to add a javascript to an action somewhere on the document, my problem is which script do I use to get this data from the other pdf?  Is the pdf that is now accessible via javascript (disclosed) a data object?

  • How to add digital Signature Field in cfdocument pdf files?

    Hi,
    We are generating pdf files using cfdocument to populate values and wondering how we can add digital signature field in those pdf files. Any help or comments would be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    hismail786

    Hi,
    Yes, we have options to add digital signature to the pdf. We have one attribute called "Permissions" in "cfpdf" tag. If we provide permissions = 'AllowSecure', then system would allow digital signature for that pdf.
    Please go though the docs for details info. I will post in details next.
    Thanks

  • How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

    I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral.  We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
    How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
    We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table.  I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
    Please help???

    What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"?  What is the "Pdf structure"? 
    thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
    We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
    Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that.  Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

  • How to get all signature fields in a .pdf from C#

    Does anyone have some sample code that shows how to "iterate" all signatures in a .pdf from C#? Using the SDK and the Javascipt object model I know how to sign a document but I can't figure out how to "get all the signatures". Basically I want to open a .pdf file and then (from C#) find out what persons currently have signed the document. I guess I need to iterate all signature fields and then get the SignatureInfo object, or?
    Anyone?
    Cheers,
    Calle

    I am afraid this don't help me. How do I get the "data" back to C#? Looping all fields in in JavaScript is probably "easy" but I simply can't figure out how to get access to the data from C#. Any one have a suggestion on the best approach?
    Thx,
    CJ

  • Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

    I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section.  Is this possible?  If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Thanks, George!  In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with.  For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10.  I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization.  I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written.  Does that make sense?  Will this require JavaScript?  My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form.  Thanks again,
    Andy

  • Delete leading zeros for a field on the pdf form

    Hi,
    i know it is possible to delete leading zeros via abap coding in the interface.
    But is it also possible to this directly on the pdf form - scripting or a setting?
    Thank you
    Kind regards
    Manfred

    I believe you can set this up as a field display pattern (if you use LCD 8.1 or something like that).
    Or you can script that out. In formcalc you can easily process characater by character, test if that is zero and remove it.

  • Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

    I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

    So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?
