Signatures in a form

Hi,
I am recreating all of our forms into Active forms using Livecycle Designer 8.2 and the majority of our forms, that go out to a very large number of stakeholders, require a signature by one or more persons. I am wondering if anyone has come across a secure, effective, legal, user friendly way to add a signature to the form?
I have not been able to find out alot of information on sigantures so any pointers will help or tips on where to find information.
Thank you.
Jennah

Jennah
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Are you looking to add signatures in an automated fasion in an ad hoc fasion, or did you want to design the forms with signature fields already on the PDF form?
Assuming you are using LiveCycle Designer to create the forms, you can ad signature field(s) to the form when you create the forms. When a user clicks on the signature field, they will be prompted to select a digital certificate to sign the form with. Note that if the end users only have Reader, the form will need to be Reader Extended (to enable the ability to sign a PDF with reader)
There are other third party methods to sign PDF documents such as CIC's SignIt.
here are some links that may be of use:

How to print a signature in Adobe form using PCL - HELP!

Hello,
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle and I'm trying to get my form to print a signature at the bottom right on the given signature line. Our HP LaserJet printer has a SIMM installed which contains the signature in digitized form. I need to issue a hexadecimal instruction using PCL which contains the code that tells the printer to print the stored signature. I know this is doable in SAPscript, but is it doable in Adobe???
Thank you,
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
I think it is handled differently in Adobe forms as here all the print data is created by ADS.
See the document Digital Signature Setup at:
www.service.sap.com/hrin -> Media Center -> Key Documents
This decribes the process.
The link below and SAP Note 1168740 also contain information.

How to delete hyperlink (Remove signature) in a form created with InfoPath

Hello.
We have Sharepoint 2013 Foundation in production. It work with forms created with InfoPath. In these forms, digital signatures are used to approve. The problem is that once you have signed the forms, the user can remove the signature. That's what we want to
avoid.
Which file should I edit to remove the hyperlink? I can not find how to do it. Do you know a better option?
Greetings.
MCSA: Windows Server 2008

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to delete hyperlink (Remove signature) in a form created with InfoPath.
As far as I know, there is no OOTB way to achieve this. You need to use custom code to prevent removal of digital signatures.
Please add the OnBeforeChange handler code to the "signatureN" group where the signature is stored, not to the section you are signing.
In other words (my excample) browse to :
Tools - Form Options - Digital Signatures - "Enable digital signature for specific data" - Modify/Add
Note the "Store signatures in the following group" value. It will be a read only value, eg /my:myFields/my:signature3/my:signature4
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Multiple Digital Signatures on a form

I need to get five signatures on a form but each time I sign it, it makes me save. After two saves (and two signatures), I could no longer click on the signature fields. I need to use this form to get a job entered for my building. Please help. Thank you.
V/R,
IS3 Poirier, Jon

Hi,
I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

Digital Signature problem : Adobe forms

Hi Experts,

<link to blocked site removed by moderator>
The problem is when I execute my Adobe form I am not getting SIGN button in my generated form as mentioned in the link.
I am using Adobe Live cycle designer 8.2 and Adobe reader 9.
Please help me out on this since I am new to Adobe forms as well.
Thanks

Moderator message: this is the wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe".

Apart from the above question can anybody guide me whether do we need Adobe Acrobat instead of Adobe reader to implement Digital Signature in Adobe form.
Looking forward towards some useful suggestions!!

ADOBE Form - How to include digital signatures in adobe forms?

Hi all,
Can any one tell me the procedure for including a digital signature in adobe form?
Thanks,
Vineel.

Hi,
If you have a third party software which captures the signatures (Ex: ePad), then you can have that integrated to SAP where all the signatures get stored as in SE78. From here you can insert directly in Adobe Form using Graphic Content method in an image field. Hope this is helpful for you.

Add a digital signature to a form?

How can I get a signature on a form?

Actually let me step back - I jumped to a solution to quickly... Can you tell me what you use case / workflow is? What do you want to accomplish? Knowing that will help me point you in the right direction. Also it would be great if you could send me an example of your form (just send me a private message using the forum)

Adding a digital signature to a form

Hi all,
I'm new adobe designer and have been tasked with creating an on-line registration form. So far I have been able to add all the fields and such for users to enter their information.
I have read through the forums and found out how to add little bits of javascript and stuff to the forms too.
At the moment I have a four page form with stacks of questions.
There is a question I have on there that is a check box with the usual "I accept the terms, blah, blah" on it and I need that field to act as a digital signature, or if not that, apply a signature to the form when the submit button is hit.
At the moment I have regular button as the submit button as I needed to be able to change the body and subject of the email at run-time and could only get it to work through javascript at run-time.
If anyone knows how to get this to work, I'd appreciate the help as I have no idea what I'm doing!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
It depends on where you placed the script, probably best place is the exit event.
if (this.rawValue != null || this.rawValue != "")
this.access = "readOnly";
else
this.access = "open";
This will only lock the field that the script is inside.
You should check out Paul's example LockAllFields, which contains a function in a script object. While Paul calls this from a click event in a button, you could call it fromthe exit event of the particular text field.

Digital Signatures on Scanned forms

How i add digital signature in interactive form

Hi gurus,
I want to upload an Digital Signature in Adobe forms. Could any body tell me the procedures please help me out.
Thank you,
pawan

Hi Pawan,
Inorder to make use of Digital Signatures in forms, you have to first configure the ADS based on SSL and not Basic Authentication. Refer to the ADS Configuration guide for the same.
After the configuration using SSL as the security mode, you need to place a signature field when designing the Adobe form.
In addition you need to create a signature in Adobe Reader(if used to display the form) which you can use to sign the document at runtime.
Hope this helps.

Inserting signature in Mail form from outgoing email

Hi,
I'm trying to send outbound email from service request in SAP CRM. When I select send mail the mail form is displayed. We have option to attach the document, priority and sensistvity. Along with this we also have option to save signature. Once I save the signature how to insert the signature into mail form so that I can send the signature with the mail form.
Thanks
Vinod

@Nancy O.
Thanks for your support i appreciate it that you helped me out a many times.
However i have read all of the topics you posted.
I know in the mail form i can disable the "sort of Captcha". I wanted to disable it and insert reCaptcha instead.
I will re-make the form because like you said (and i already figured it out myself) ;
"b) Don't modify forms until you get a very basic form working on your server."
And youre right, im taking too much work at once.
@CowboyInAZ
Im a hobbyist that learns really really fast.
Before March 23 i never used CSS, Javascript and XHTML. And never combined them all together with PHP. (never ever created a php based file from scratch)
The reason why i use other persons code is because i learn faster with examples, and because i dont need to reinvent the wheel if someone already invented it. The only thing i do with it is learn the workings, customise it and at last, rewrite the code when i understand it.
If you look at my current site: http://www.wientjesvoegwerk.nl/
You will notice that the site is validated by W3C with no errors and warnings.
I think it was Nancy O. that gave me the link to the validator. Thats how i discovered the service.
You need to know that in 1 day (from 63 errors and 12 warnings) i removed all errors. And i didnt knew much about it, and why errors happend while the site looks fine.
So im just curious how things work and thats why i "steal" codes and adjust them to learn myself.
I also want a education like you spoke of, but im interested in a different media.
I want to be abled to create my dream project wich involves new ways for game studios to earn money.
This is just a simple start, im also taking tutorials in C#, C++.

Collecting Signatures on InfoPath Forms using Collect Signatures Workflow - Task Sign Button doesnt open Sign Dialogue

I'm having a problem getting an InfoPath form to work smoothly with the Collect Signatures workflow while using automatically chosen signers instead of the signers being specified in the workflow initiation form.
I created a custom InfoPath form with two signature lines
I created a duplicate of the out of the box Collect Signatures workflow and changed the Task Process Participants from "Parameter:Signers" to use one stage of the "submitter" and a second stage of the Manager field in the form.
The tasks do get assigned properly to the submitter and then the other user from the form field but there is a problem when trying to sign the documents from the task.
PROBLEM: Now, when one of the signers opens the task from inside the InfoPath form(they get to the form by clicking the link in the task assignment email) and clicks "sign" it no longer opens the signature dialogue. It just
advances the workflow and the document is left unsigned.
BUT IT WORKED FINE STOCK?... If I change the workflow task back to use the Parameter:Signers and let it supply the signers from the workflow initiation form then when the signer clicks the "sign" button on the task form the
Sign dialogue pops up for the next in line signature in the form that hasn't been signed. Then once they sign it the task completes and advances the workflow nicely. This is great but I want the signers to be automatically selected and the workflow
to fire when a new form is filled bypassing the cumbersome workflow initiation form.
Does anyone have experience with this? How can I get the task form Sign button wired up to open the signature dialogue for a signature inside the form?

If you use a third party signing control then you would not have to name the form uniquely because the control captures the signature and shows shows it on the form. The signature is not dependent on the form name. In other words you don't have to give
unique name to the form. Adobe Acrobat XI Pro lets you sign documents in SharePoint. Each approver can add their signature. There are other third party products also available for this. OR the easiest solution is to include Signature field on the form and
ask users to simply type their name in the field and automatically record date and time (and show with signature) when they add their name and submit.

How do I add a Handwritten Signature to my form? And other Form Questions

Hi there,
I'm making a form for parents who's kids are going to drive a motorcycle for the first time.
Now I want to use my laptop with touchscreen for people to fill it in.
the normal boxes (name, adres etc) with keyboard.
But the important part is the SIGNATURE which has to be handwritten.
It's for insurance and legal autorisation from the parents that the kid is allowed to drive and they know the risks and rules.
How do I add a box in which parents can sign.
Or is there another solution to make it legal?
Another question now I might have someones attention:
After a parent is done filling the form and presses OK or DONE
Is there a way a parent can choose to use a new blank form or the same form again without date of birth/name/sex
so he/she can fill the forms faster for the rest of the kids?
OR
Is it possible to let a parents say I have 4 kids (with a choice menu)
and the parent wil get 4 name/age/sex openings and the rest of the form will stay the same?
And
Is it possible to export the whole bunch into a excel for easy usage
Thanks in advance
and all tips are welcome!
Love
Kim

Just to share some info for this:
I used to do this sort of thing quite a bit. What I used was a scanner to scan my hand written signature to an image file. I would then paste the image file, which supported transparency, over the signature line. More recently, I used Photoshop to draw a signature saving in a transparent image file.
Just to warn you though: you are asking for legal advice, and you are not going to get that here. I would consult with an attorney to find out exactly what is legal.

How to Print Digital Signature in Smart forms.

Hi Experts,
Any one please help me how to use digital signatures in SMARTFORMS.?
Which are the tables used to store digital signatures and please any one have any demo program which prints the the digital signature using smartforms kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Sunil kairam.

Hi Sunil,
After doing some research in sdn and other sources i found the following result...
Digital Signatures are nothing but graphics that we can store in SAP and use in our Smart Forms.
For Example you can create a .bmp file of your signatures, upload it via SE78, and then use it in your Smart Forms in your Footer Area as "Authorized Signatory".
The Logic in the Print Program can be something as follows -
1. Maintain a Z Table having fields like PLANT, FORMID (Name of the SmartForm), USERID.
2. Before calling the Form, the validation is made for the Logged in User with the Z Table created.
3. If the User Entry exists in the Z-Table, the Form is called and the Signature Image is displayed in the Footer Block i.e. the Authorized Signature.
4. If user entry does not exist in the Z-Table then the message is displayed "You are not the Authorized for Printing the Form" and exits the Transaction.
