Signature in Acrobat Pro different from Reader

I have Acrobat Pro. When I click on "Place Signature", it forces me into a weird certificate, not the option to type my name like Acrobat Reader. I want to simply type my name.

What Acrobat/Reader allows depends on the document. For example, If the document has any of the following characteristics, you won't be allowed to e-sign, but you may be able to digitally sign:
1. The document is Reader-enabled
2. The document has any digital signature fields. This includes a certfied document.
3. The document includes a button with a "Submit a form" action.
4. Other things.
If you can provide a link to a sample that doesn't allow this, we could take a look and tell you the specific reason.

  • I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

    if you need to reset your activation count, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    if you need the installation program and if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

(Previous installation got corrupted) Continually getting message ‘Acrobat has detected another process which has not yet completed…’.

    I would run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and delete any Acrobat folders that have been created, then try again. Be sure to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus when you have problems like this.

  • Cursive signature in Acrobat Pro X

    1. I need to create a cursive signature in Acrobat Pro X - is there a way to do this without having to upload another file?
    2. I created a digital ID but can't locate it with the browse function.

    You'd normally create an image (or vector graphic) of your signature in some way and use it as the source for the signature appearance. Acrobat doesn't prompt you to hand-draw a signature and use it for an appearance.
    To find the file, you can open launch the "Digital ID and Trusted Certificates Setting" dialog, locate the digital ID file in the list (Digital IDs > Digital ID Files), click "Certificate Details", Details tab, Certificate Data > Private Key <see details>
    and it will show where the .pfx file is on your system.
    I don't recall how to do the first step in Acrobat 10, but in 11 they changed it to: Edit > Preferences > Signatures > Identities & Trusted Certificates
    and in Reader 10 it's under: Edit > Protection > Security Settings

  • Forms compatibility between Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9

    Hi everyone. I have a problem to resolve as quick as I can. I haven't find any answers yet, maybe someone will know what's going on with my forms.
    I'm working on a document made by another graphic designer, I can't reach this person. When I use his forms, it works in Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9, users can fill out forms and save a copy. BUT, I have to made a modification in the forms. I use the Touch Up tools in Acrobat Pro 8, made a copy, but this copy have a problem: users cannot fill forms and save a copy in Reader 9. They can only print the form and fill it by hand. I can't find any options to made my forms compatible with Reader 9 when I save the copy.
    Do you have any idea why the original forms of the guy works but not mine?? My client is a bit mad
    Thank you!
    Karine

    I am having a similar issue where I created a form and when I sent it to my team members (who only have reader) they are not able to fill in the form.  It is like a document for them.  I  have done the "extended rights" several times in trying to figure out what is going on and it is still not working.  Do you have any thoughts of what else I might try?  I am very new to this all and very confused and frustrated right now.
    Thanks!

  • How a administrator user is different from read-write user in Aruba Central?

    Q: How a administrator user is different from read-write user in Aruba Central?
    A: Aruba Central allows administrator to create multiple user of different access levels to help manage the system.  This access levels include:
    read only
    read/write
    guest operator
    NOTE: These access levels can be imposed on a specific "ap group" or a set of "ap groups" or all of them.
    Therefore looking at the roles, many of the aruba central customers, had a question of how a administrator user is different from read-write user. 
    Administrator is the only user who can move access points between groups. Read/Write user Do Not Have Permission to execute this action.

    Hi,
    I've managed to get what I needed by using a shift register + event structure as suggested by Adnan. However, I face another problem after implementing SR+event. I've attached two files, first the original program and second the updated program using SR + event. (it's only the jpg file as I've forgotten to save the labview program, will upload the program by tomorrow.
    In the original program, I have an elapsed time that is able to run continuously when I run the program. In the updated program, my elapsed time don't seem to run continuously when I run the program (as shown by elapsed time indicator). I need the elapsed time to run continuously as a input to calculate my motor profile.
    I suppose this is caused by the introduction of the event structure, will adding a case structure to wrap the event structure solve the problem or is there another way to get pass this. Appreciate if someone could drop me a pointer or two.
    Thanks

  • Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

    I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed.  I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

    You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

    I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
    Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

    I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
    That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
    I've been there.  Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text.  I've done that myself.
    But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
    The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

  • Trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro installation from Creative Cloud

    When I attempt to install Adobe Acrobat Pro from Creative Cloud, it will always fail on the first attemp. If I retry, it installs it. Then, when I open a pdf document, the application quits in seconds. I get a modal window with the license agreement. However, it is blank and the pull downs are empty. I hit a dead end.
    This is so aggravating; especially when Adobe is charging me for my membership every month.
    What gives? Can someone help with this?
    Brian

    Brian which operating system are you using?  Do you receive any specific errors during the installation process?  If you are using a Windows operating system then please uninstall Acrobat using the Programs and Features control panel.  Once done then please try using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
    Also you mentioned that the EULA window is blank you may also want to see Blank EULA screen appears on Acrobat XI launch - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html.  Solution 2 is not likely to be relevant unless you are using an operating system not currently supported by the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • Unable to open pdf created with Acrobat Pro using Adobe Reader X

    Files created with some Adobe Professional applications such as Acrobat Pro ensure the file is small by excluding font information from the file.  Simple pdf creation applications embed the font in the file, which makes for transportability between apps but does make the files big.
    The problem i have experienced is that Adobe Reader X is one of the simple app varieties, so is unable to open, print, or read files created using Adobe Acrobat Pro..
    i'd welcome any help in (a) finding a free app that opens these 'pro pdf' files, OR (b) an option setting in Acrobat Pro which includes the font information in the file - or both!

    There are so many things wrong, around a tiny grain of truth, it really isn't worth examining. Not at this stage if you are more interested in getting things working.  It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.
    Ok, Reader doesn't launch. Suppose you start Reader FIRST. Then use File > Open on your PDF.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader X - Enable Extended Features for Form

    Using Acrobat Pro 8.3.0, I "Enabled Usage Rights for Adobe Reader" for a fillable form created in LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  The following error message occurs when opening this form in Reader X:
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    The form has not been changed and as mentioned, I am the author.  Any solutions to allow user in Reader X to fill-in form?  Do I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X?

    I am having same problem with a 2011 year tax PDF fill in form I JUST got from IRS website.  The actual form is the 2011 8829.
