Signature is invalid after signing and saving

Hi,
I've been messing around with this problem for days and I don't find a solution.
I've a PDF document I created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. This document will get populated with data from an XFDF file. After that, user can input data and data will be retrieved via Webservices too.
After finishing, the user has to sign the document and then it will be saved back to the server with a submit function.
When I reopen the signed document (or even after I click "save" without sending back to the server and reopening it), the signature is invalid. When I click on "Compare signed version to current version", I get the report "The pages are identical" and when I close the report, the signature isn't invalid anymore. Acrobat then writes: "At least one signature requires validating".
There are some JavaScript functions in the document which may cause the problem, but I already eliminated most of them, with docReady events, so they won't be executed on start.
Is there a way to debug the PDF document?
I've found some debugging hint on the internet from 2003 or 2004, but I can't even find the menus right now, so I think, there must be a new way for this in Acrobat 9.
I hope, someone can help me, this problem really drives me crazy.
Thanks.
Fritz

Hi Fritz,
In the interest of full disclosure, I got the answer to the problem from one of my distinguished colleagues, I'm just the messenger in this case.
The problem is that the form adds some items to the Arzneispezialität / Zusatztext combobox which are there during signing but the form doesn’t remember that it did this on the next form open.
Since this field is included in the MDP+ signature and the field has changed in the re-opened version vs. the signed version, the MDP+ signature becomes invalid.
XFA has a feature that remembers these kinds of things for you but it is turned it OFF. Please open the attached screen shot to see the control in question.
So, you can either (1) turn this feature ON (Automatically), or (2) write some script to clear the combobox items prior to signing or (3) write some script to repopulate the combobox items on the subsequent open to match the items that were there during signing.

Signing and Saving PDF

My Adobe isn't letting me add a signature, and the document that I am downloading from my school's website has signature not allowed under properties. Tried to convert to word and then back to a PDF to change properties but it is still not allowing signatures without echosign. My prof needs to add his own signature and does not want to do it through echosign. Trying to get the document signed and saved as a PDF then sent to him. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the answer and explanation. Unfortunately I am still not sure the best solution.
It is a business application for a city site. As a result the limit of 500 is obviously not going to work. Also for legal reasons they need the form physically signed.
The original hope was to provide a PDF form that could be filled in (almost entirely) on the computer if desire and then printed, signed, and turned in to the city.
What they don't want is for someone to fill it out on the computer, use the echosign and email it as they need the physical signature.
Sounds like we might have to choose between:
- not having it interactive (so they can just print it out and fill it out)
Or
- make it so they can fill it out on the computer, but include instructions that they need the print it out and physically sign it. And hope they follow the instructions.
Again, thank you for the explanation. I think I will just have to let them decide.

How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App

How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App

Darrell,
Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you?

Signing and saving a document in Acrobat 8.0

We would like to bypass the sign and save As dialog which appears when
1. Sign a document
2. click on Sign
Is there any way we could acheive this

We have written a plugin. We do not wish to interfere with the Signing process. All we want is that the original document should be saved with the signature instead of displaying the Save As dialog.
In Acrobat 7.0, there were 2 buttons on the Sig Dialog viz. "Sign And Save" and "Sign And Save As". Sign And Save would save the signature in the same document. However in Acrobat 8, there is only one button "Sign" and this button displays the Save As dialog. The behavior is similar to Sign And Save As in Acrobat 7.

Signing and saving docs

I am creating a fillable form with Digital signature approval. I want to have the approval sign the document and it automatically saves as a unique name so it can then be emailed to the next approver. Help - I am not a programmer!

Update XDP datasets after fillong and saving static forms

Hi all,
I've got many static XFA forms, which does not behave the same way after filling-in and saving in Acrobat. Mosto of them updates the XDP datasets entry inside the XFA, but some of them does not. The result is, that after extracting the XDP from the pdf Form, the datasets contains just the default values and not the filled-in values.
Are there any rules for updating the datasets entry shen saving filled form?
Thanks for any help

How to disable digital signing and saving of PDF form?

I have a PDF form that I have created. It does not have a signature field becuase I need them to print and physically sign the form. However no matter what I do Adobe Reader offers the option to digitally sign the form (as well as save it). How do I disable this?? Thank you for the help in advance.

Why does new version of Adobe reader for Windows 8 not give signed and saved document the "signed" extension when you save the file after placing a signature... this worked on an earler version.

I have upgraded my PC to new Windows 8 machine .. Now when I place a signature on document and save it does not automatically place a "signed" extension on the filename. Previous version on my machine always did this.
Why is this , can I set up my new version to do same...

When you "save as" as opposed to simply "save", there is sometimes a different location for the file to be saved. When you "save as" to the same location as an original, you will bewarned that a file already exists with that name and be asked if you're sure you want ot overwrite the original file. If you didn't see that when "saving as", you probably saved the signed file to a different location.

In Adobe Reader (v11.0.09) locked/froze after signing and can't access my full fill-in answers to edit

In Adobe Reader (v11.0.09), after answer application questions in scrolling window panes within a .pdf doc, I signed the doc, and it froze/locked, so I cannot edit or view the full answers anymore. On an ugent deadline, so any thoughts on how to re-access my full answers within the scrolling window panes in a .pdf doc? thanks!

Hi Paix,
It is normal once you sign a document it considered to be a complete of yours. So no one shouldnt make any change after you signed the documents gets locked.
You can get idea from this doc: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-lock-form-fields-using-a-digital-signature

Signing and saving with Acrobat 9

I have recently upgraded to Acrboat 9 from Acrobat 6.
One of the features of Acrobat 6 was that when I open an PDF through Acrobat on my file management software, it would open the PDF, and I could place a signature field, and sign the document with a Digital ID and it would save over the PDF in my file management software.
However, with Acrobat 9. When I go to save the document, it asks me to "Save As" and resave the document. With our file management software, the document opened through the software has a temporary file created in a hidden folder which is then resaved after editing. After resaving the PDF I have to reimport the PDF back to our file management software.
I understand that Adobe has changed this to allow for more safety and security, but is there a way to make it resave to the same opened document each time?

Do you know of any solutions to my problem? To clarify, my client uses Windows XP Professional, Adobe 8 and Internet Explorer 7

Apple ID invalid after update and reset

Background: Update indicated on phone, so my son did the update. Then, once updated, it wouldn't work properly. He said it told him to reset the phone (or it might have been YouTube that told him. He's 14, so who knows?). Anyway, he reset the phone, and it wouldn't accept his Apple ID. It's been the same since the day I gave it to him. Apple support said to restore again, so I did. Still showing a shorter ID than he has. To top it off, the phone has disappeared from his cloud, but his iPod is still there. He can sign in on the computer with his ID, but not his phone. Any ideas on a fix? I'm confused.

Yeah. That's what I thought as well when I saw what happened. I've been using other Apple devices since before and this was actually the first time I had this kind of problem. Unfortunately, I no longer have any documents that would support my purchase because I just moved to a different place and there's a great chance that the receipt had been lost in the process. Anyhow, thanks for the response. This might sound persistent but I might want to call customer service when I get the time and see if there are any questions/verification that they could ask me to help resolve my concern. After all, I paid for it and I was just able to use it less than 2 years. *sigh

After archiving and saving, still re-encodes everything

G'day. All I want to do is be able to save a finished product, after I have burned a couple of DVD's, then later reopen the project and just burn another disk. Every method I have used to do this; save, archive, .dmg'd ; when I reopen the project ( and not changing ANYTHING ) and go to Burn, iDVD re-encodes everything all over again. Is there a way shy of just telling Toast to duplicate an already burned DVD to have iDVD just use the already saved, or archived or dmg'd and not re-encode the works? I just have to be missing something..
Thanks in advance
Al

You can also copy previously burned iDVD discs with Disk Utility...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
By the way, the archive feature of iDVD is not meant to save all the encoded assetts. Instead it is meant to pull all the source files needed by a project in order to be able to reencode another version later on.
See when you create an iDVD project, the project is not very large, a couple megs, since it doesn't retain source files but instead knows where to get them. For example, your iMovie project might be 20GB. When you open an iDVD project for that iMovie project, the iDVD project simply knows that the source files are over in that iMovie project. If later you moved the iDVD project to another computer, you would lose that link to the other source files and woulodn't work anymore.
The archive function is meant to pull all the source files from where ever they exist on your computer into one project file. So now that iDVD archive file will be 20+ gigs. Now THAT file/folder you can move to other computers because it is all self contained now. But the process of encoding your assetts would have to be done again.
