Signatures - two issues

Question

Hi, all.  This behavior seems to be common to both Reader and Acrobat, so I figured I'd start here.
First off - Reader XI automatically renames documents when a signature is placed.  This is problematic, in that if a user wants to keep the name unchanged, they must manually delete the "-signed" part of the filename every time.  For users who deal with it dozens of times or more per day, this is not only a tiresome waste of energy, but prone to error.
I know others have commented on this, but I've not been able to find anything official from Adobe.  Does anyone know if Adobe will be changing this behavior, or at least giving us the option to turn it off?
Second - The document signing process itself seems to have lost functionality.  In version 9, when a user was signing a document, the button used to do so had a dropdown where they could pick from multiple signatures.  This does not exist in 11.  The "Place Signature" button simply reuses the last signature, and picking a new one requires the user to:
Click the dropdown arrow
Click "Change Saved Signature"
Click "Use an image"
Click Browse and hope it opens up in the proper location, otherwise they need to navigate there
Pick the file containing the signature to be used
Click Accept
Again, for users who need to do this dozens or more times a day, this is a tiresome waste of effort and time.
Example:  We have a secretary who is authorized by her department to place any of four people's signatures on a document.  She is required to process many of these documents each day, and depending on which of those four people she's processing for, she has to go through this whole process each time, instead of just picking one of the names from the dropdown like she used to be able to.
Is there some way to add back the functionality that was in the old version?
I've tried setting up multiple appearances from
Edit --> Preferences --> Signatures -->Creation and Appearance --> More
but I'm not seeing anywhere that those appearances are actually exposed for use.  The Place Signature option behaves the same even after creating the appearances, no new option shows up under the Fill and Sign that makes use of those Preference settings.  I found a posting (http://answers.acrobatusers.com/Saving-multiple-signatures-q82338.aspx) specific to Acrobat saying that this would cause a dropdown to appear, allowing the user to choose from the appearances, but again the behavior is shared between both Acrobat and Reader, in that the alleged dropdown never appears.

Answer 1

Hi Stark,
Exactly....Even my list of signatures does not return anything with PSS. Like how you said may be there is no engine support. But is there any workaround for this??? How can i use PSS with RSA in Java 1.5??? Any idea??
And also in the JCE Crypto Spec, it is given that "For the new signature schemes defined in PKCS #1 v 2.0, for which the <digest>with<encryption> form is insufficient, <digest>with<encryption>and<mgf> can be used to form a name. Here, <mgf> should be replaced by a mask generation function such as MGF1. Example: MD5withRSAandMGF1. " but this also is not displayed in the list of signatures. Am I wrong in my understanding or over looking something or is it that java 5 has not yet started supporting if signature algos are given in this format. Any idea here too ??
