Signing pdf's

A playbook purchase is imminent if I can just figure out if there is an app to allow me to electronically sign my name to pdf documents? I receive multiple doc's during the day that require my approval and having the playbook while I'm on the go is a very appealing idea if I could get an answer to this. Thanks for the help - my fingers are crossed!

Is there a way we can use Acrobat Standard to assign a password for opening of signed PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

Prior to implementing DocuSign, we used to scan manually signed document to a PDF file and then store the PDF file in a HR file share. We would then use Adobe Writer Standard to assign a read/write password to the PDF file. We now use DocuSign to have documents electronically signed and download the DocuSign PDF in our HR folders. However Adobe Acrobat Writer does not allow us to assign a password. It pops up a dialog box saying ""you cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified". We want to continue being able to store the PDF in our HR file share with passwords to restrict who can view off the share. Is there a way we can assign a password to the PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

Thanks Bernd. We can't assign passwords before signature process starts as people will not be able to open the PDF without knowing the password. I think we will change our process and simply leave the electronically signed PDF in DocuSign and then "print" the PDF to our local file share for internal HR purposes. thanks again.

Can't sign PDF documents.

Can't sign PDF documents. After pressing the Accept button, no preview of my signature, and the screen reverts to the document.

Is the camera working in other applications, such as Photo Booth? Does the green light come on in Preview?

Acrobat XI Pro - How can I have clients sign pdf docs with stylus on my Tablet PC WITHOUT having to subscribe to signature services like EchoSign?

I was told there was a "Setting" in XI Pro that would allow me to have clients sign pdf documents with a stylus on my Tablet PC (I have a MS Surface Pro 2), without having to sign up for EchoSign or any other electronic signature service. Is that correct? If so, what is the setup or settings?

There are several third party plugins for Adobe Reader and Acrobat on the market, which allow to use the display of a tablet PCs as a capture device for handwritten signatures. Some of those plugins are enabling also the combination with real digital signatures without the need of any previous registration of the signatory.

How to automate digital signing PDF Files in batch

I am trying to find a way to automate as much as possible the placing of a digital signature on a set of PDF documents. We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the machine has MS Office 2003 with Vista Business. Here's a scenario: A set of documents exist in a TO-BE-SIGNED folder, each unsigned. The user uses MS Access 2003 form with a button with VBA code to open and show the first document in the folder. The AcroExch.App, AcroExch.AVDoc, and AcroApp.Show APIs are used to do this. I found code on the internet to do that. Rather than having my client now have to go through all the manual steps to place a digital signature on the document, I want to streamline it to a single click if possible. Right now he has to click Advanced > Sign and Certify > Place Signature > then click and drag > then enter his password > then click sign > then save and close the doc. Can all this be automated? An added bonus would be automatically saving or moving the signed doc to a different folder when it is signed.
I have created a stamp that allows me to add a stamp with just two clicks. Can such be done to add a digital signature? Is it possible to add a button to the toolbar to do this? Can it be done in Access VBA using some Acrobat API calls? Another feature I want to include is moving quickly from one document to the next in the TO-BE-SIGNED folder. Like the arrow buttons take you from page to page, can a button be added to the Acrobat toolbar to take you from doc to doc in a particular folder? Or can that be done using VBA and some Acrobat API calls? To maintain the security of the password protection and yet cut down on clicks and keystrokes, I would like to input the password just once at the beginning of the session and have it remembered or applied to all the docs that get signed as long as that session is open.
I've found some software that purports to do much of the above, but they are all very expensive and assume a big business with big bucks. If anyone knows of inexpensive software that will REALLY do this, I'm open to that as well, though I'd like to control the process myself if possible. I consider myself a beginner with Acrobat and using API calls and would appreciate any help anyone can give. Is the above clear and even possible?
PS: I'm new to this site and using SDK. I posted this under Security (thinking digital signatures) and was asked to post it here, which I'm glad to do.
Thanks much!

Our workflow is such that on infrequent occasions, we have a digitally signed PDF file and the doctor wants to append a scanned note to it. In the past, we could do this, but not now. In the past, when we added the scanned doc, we received a message saying that the doc is already signed and asking if we want to overrwrite the doc. If we respond Yes, then Acrobat would allow it and the signature would indicate that the original part of the document was not modified, but that something had been changed--namely, a doc had been appended. The signature indicated that something had changed since it was added, but it still allowed the append. The signature would have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle indicating the doc had been updated since signed. For our purposes, that was okay because we know what the change is based on the original doc and we know what is appended. Now, however, we cannot append at all. The only thing that is different that I know of is that the doc was signed with software that is not Adobe Acrobat, even though the other software uses an Adobe Acrobat self-created digital signature.
I hope I've explained that clearly enough.
Thanks for your help.

Enable Adobe Reader to Digitally Sign PDF created with Acrobat Pro 9

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to enable adobe readers to digitally sign PDFs I create. I currently have Acrobat Pro 9.
Customer Support said that I need to save it as a "Reader Extended" format, but I cant find this option anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Thanks Ben,
Unfortunately, that video is for acrobat X or above and I cant find the "save as reader extended" option in Acrobat Pro 9.
Can this be done from this version?
Thanks again
Matt

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,
Josh

Digitally Signed PDF crashes Mail and Preview

I've run into an odd situation - if I try to send a digitally signed PDF file using the Mail app or even view that file in the Preview app, those apps crash. The PDF files are created in Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.1.0 (for the Mac). My Mail and Preview apps are right up to date.
The same PDF file still opens just fine in Adobe Acrobat. If I create exactly the same file, but don't go through the digital signature step, the files open (in Preview) and send (in Mail) just fine.
Anyone else run into this problem and/or have a suggestion on how to avoid it?
(P.S. By "create", I mean I have printed to the "Adobe PDF 9.0" print driver, which creates the base PDF file. Then I have also "secured" the file by requiring a password be entered to change anything. The final step, which seems to be causing the problem, is digitally signing the file.)

The problem may be related to asking Acrobat 9 to output a file format "compatible" with older versions -- along with adding security.
If you check the Console log, I think you will find that the "mdworker" task is also crashing -- even when you open the file successfully with Adobe Reader. I presume this is Spotlight trying to index the file.
Safari will also crash when attempting to view such a PDF. It puts out a Console message indicating invalid AES block size or some such. Presumably this is related to the 128 bit AES security in the PDF file. Using 128 bit RC4 results in a file that doesn't crash Preview, but the document content is garbled by Preview so it's just as bad.

Client Side Signature of PDF in HTML Viewer returning the chnaged/signed PDF.

Hi,
I am generating a SFP PDF form which I then immediately save to a SAP PSRM Case. I generate the PDF form 'fillable' and I have inserted a Signature Field in the form layout.
I have a requirement to save the signed form to the case once it has been signed. This process should exclude saving the form to any application or presentation directories.
During the PSRM Case processing I can:
Successfully save the un-signed PDF to the Case
Successfully open the PDF via an HTML viewer
Successfully sign the PDF in the HTML viewer
The problem is when I return to the Case after the PDF has been signed I cannot save the signed PDF to the PSRM Case(SAP).
I am using the code below to display the un-signed PDF in the HTML Viewer
* Convert xstring to binary table to pass to the LOAD_DATA method
   CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
     EXPORTING
       buffer     = g_pdf_content_in
     TABLES
       binary_tab = gt_data.
* Load the HTML
   CALL METHOD g_html_control->load_data(
     EXPORTING
       type                 = 'application'
       subtype              = 'pdf'
     IMPORTING
       assigned_url         = lv_url
     CHANGING
       data_table           = gt_data
     EXCEPTIONS
       dp_invalid_parameter = 1
       dp_error_general     = 2
       cntl_error           = 3
       OTHERS               = 4 ).
* Show it
   CALL METHOD g_html_control->show_url( url = lv_url
     in_place = 'X' ).
I assume that 'gt_data' would now represent the signed PDF? How do I convert 'gt_data' back to a PDF xstring? I have tried:
FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
Various Methods in Class 'CL_BCS_CONVERT'
All with no success. Either it saves the un-signed PDF to the PSRM Case or the PDF cannot be viewed as it is corrupt.
Please help.
Warm Regards
Waheeb

File is serializable but it is just a filename. When you pass or return it over RMI or Serialization, all you get is the filename. It doesn't take the file contents with it, or the ability to open it, unless it happens to also be the name of an existing file on the receiving system.

How to fill up pdf forms & sign pdf contracts using digitizer pen & tablet?

Greetings,
I travel a lot and bring tons of documents for clients to sign. As I am trying to cut down on travel weight, i fancied upon the idea of using a digitizer such as the Genius EasyPen i405 to fill up pdf forms and sign contracts so i wouldnt have to scan, save and email the forms back to the office thousands of miles away. I would like to know if it is possble to do that using such a device. If its possible, how? I use acrobat X. Any advise you can give would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soonest. Thank you.

Thanks for your response jallisy. I just thought about this because i read somewhere that the pen acts like a mouse cursor when you move it around the digitizer. I figured the pen could act as a mouse while the digitizer could act as a mouse pad, as such the size doesnt really matter, considering you need to press a button on the pen to engage the digital ink and you use the computer screen as your guide. I havent really tried one but am just starting to explore the idea as tablets like the Ipad are now allowing users to fill up forms and sign pdfs with a finger or a capacitive pen. Youtube offers all these interesting pdf signing and editing with the Ipad. I just really dont want an Ipad. I still think a solution is just around the corner. But i am not willing to buy an expensive tablet with limited storage and productivity features over a real laptop.
The genius site for the pen stated that i can sign microsof office docs but no pdf was mentioned. I guess they have a special software for that but the people at genius havent gotten back to me yet. Another way i was thinking about was converting all the pdfs to word, sign the word document and then save as a pdf again ... the document is prone to be edited though and formats could be accidentally changed so was really thinking about doing this directly with a PDF instead.

Deleting pages in a signed PDF

How do I delete pages from a digitally signed PDF?
I am using Acrobat Pro X.
The only option not grayed out on the tools/pages menu is extract.
I believe I could do this before the latest Adobe Pro update was pushed to my computer last month.

Does 'invalidating' the signature mean deleting it?
I need to parse a document so all parties can see that it was signed.
Not all parties need to have access to all pages.

Users can no longer sign PDF's

We have a Windows Certificate server that assigns certificates to all our users. Users have always been able to sign PDF's with Adobe Reader using this certificate. Last week they started to not be able to sign. When they go to sign a PDF it used to bring up a box and the certificate was selected. Now it brings up a box that says " I want to sign this document using:" but you can't select the certificate.
Nothing changed as far as the server goes and it looks fine and I can see the certificates are loaded on the PC.
Any ideas???

Hi presbell,
Acrobat/Reader will not allow you to sign a PDF file using a certificate that asserts CA=true in the Basic Constraints extension. You can only use an end-entity certificate.

Can I open reader and digitally sign pdf in flash?

First off let me say, I have 0 experience with Adobe Flash or Adobe Air, so this may be a dumb question or I may not even be asking in the right place. I currently have an application which uses Adobe Reader to digitally sign PDF files. The PDFs are displayed inline within a webpage. The user must use Adobe Reader because it needs to be FIPS 140 certified. The issue we are running into is with browsers like Chrome and Firefox bunding their own PDF reader, it brakes our application. I am looking for a way to force users to use Adobe Reader. From reading on the web, it looks like this isn't really possible and we are at the mercy of the PDF plugin the user has installed. The idea I thought of, though, would be to write an Adobe Flash application which would display the PDF. I am hoping doing it this way, I could force the use of Adobe Reader and not the PDF plugin of the browser. Does anyone know if this will work? And if it does, will I have all functions of Adobe Reader available (specifically digitally signing)?

for a web based app, you can't easily display a pdf in flash. even for an air app (or any other platform), you can't force anyone to use adobe reader (especially, because not everyone has adobe reader).

How to remove password-encryption in a signed PDF file?

I can open a password-encryption and digitally signed PDF file using Acrobat X Standard but cannot remove the password protection.
Can anyone help me remove the password encryption? The Acrobat only allows to set passsord encryption before adding digital signature to a PDF file. Can I sign a PDF file and then encrypt it with password? Thanks.

Removing the security, if it is possible, would destroy the signature.
Encrypting a signed PDF would destroy the signature.
This is because signatures validate the file exactly as it is, and changes to the file break the signature by design. Setting security is a change to the PDF (a big change).

Submitting a Signed PDF form in Workflow

Hello,
Is there anyone experienced submitting signed PDF form in workflow?
We have tried to use a PDF form designed using AFD 5.0 along with AWS 6.2 to automate the approval process. But when the initiator signs the document, using the signature object, and then submit it, the next participant will get the form with empty signature filed.
Additionally, when you sign the form, you get the green check mark, then when you submit the form, it seems that the submit will change the data in the form and the green check mark will convert into gray question mark.
You help is highly appreciated.
PS: anyone there used Biometric Signature tools (such as CyberSIGN, CIC, or SoftPro) to digitally authenticate signers/signatures in PDF forms/document and used it in a workflow or web applications?
Regards,
Yasser

If you have access to Acrobat, it would be possible to set up the form so that an automatically generated unique identifier is include in a (hidden) field so you could identify multiple submissions from a particular instance of a form. You could remove all but the most recent record from the response table to keep the summary reports current. If you'd like more info, post again.

Acrobat 9 Pro - Add watermark to digitally signed pdf?

Greetings,
Is there a way to add a watermark to a digitally signed pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro? I was able to do this using Acrobat 8, but Acrobat 9 restricts this change.
Invalidating the signatures is not an issue as the watermarked copies would be considered uncontrolled.
Thank you.

A - if you add XMP-based metadata (which has bene the preferred method of metadata since PDF 1.4) in "append mode", that will not invalidate any signatures on the document.
B - Yes.
