Topaz signature pad and Reader 10/11

Background:
I am working on the County Attorney's Case Management Project which will make all court documents filing electronic and as part of that process we will require all signatures on court documents to be digital only.  We currently have Adobe integration with our software and will be using Adobe to sign the documents.  Currently most County Attorney's offices user Reader not Acrobat.
Question:
We are using a Topaz Systems SigLite 1x5 LCD Signature Pad as our test/training signature pad.  In Reader when we try to sign we are not getting a signature capture window, instead we are only able to use the default Adobe signature options of drawing, text, or inserting an image.  Is there anyway to get the signature capture to appear for use when signing?  (assuming all of the security properties for the document are set properly, which I have verified) I can get this to work perfectly in Acrobat. I'm trying to make the process of signing all of these docs for the attorneys easy and with the fewest amount of keystrokes and clicks as possible.
Thanks!

Check to make sure that it's actually available in Reader. I think the following should show it: Help > About Adobe plug-ins
There is also a user preference that can affect its availability: Edit > Preferences > General > Use only certified plug-ins
If this doesn't help, check to make sure the plug-in is actually present in the plug-ins folder for each Reader installation.
If you can confirm the the plug-in is correctly installed and loaded in Reader and it still doesn't work, I'd then contact Topaz.

  • How can I integrate a Topaz signature pad to place the signature on the document?  It is a certificate signature on the pad that isn't going onto the document.

    Adobe doesn't support a signature pad for Adobe Acrobat but the Topaz pad sees and registers the signature on the computer but not on the document?  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Mary,
    Did you not get software from Topaz along with the signature pad? You should have gotten a file called signplus.exe (or gemsignplus) that installs the software that integrates the Topaz signature pad with Acrobat. Then you need to go to the Signature Creation preference and select Topaz as the default signing method. You can also select Always ask and then you would be prompted to select either Topaz or the traditional Acrobat digital signature when you click on a signature field.
    How to get to the signature preference depends on the version of Acrobat you are using. If you let me know I'll give you the exact steps.

  • Recognizing Topaz signature pad

    We are using a practice management system which has an Adobe Acrobat acknowledgement form for patients to sign via a Topaz signature pad.  When we select to "add a device connected to this computer" we get an error message "Acrobat could not find any new digital IDs......"
    Can you help?

    Do you have the Topaz plug-in for Acrobat installed?

  • Using a Signature Pad in Adobe Reader Ubuntu Linux??

    We are wanting to move away from Window and us Ubuntu Linux on our field computers.  The only problem is we have a signature pad and we need that to work in Adobe Reader.  We are using a Topaz signature pad.  I have been in contact with the company and they have been very helpful.  They have a driver for the signature pad in linux but they do not have a plugin for Adobe Reader.  Does anyone know a signature pad that will work in Adobe Reader?  Does anyone know if there is a plugin for Adobe Reader that may be used to work with the current signature pad we have.  Topaz said they can help me get set up to the point of going into Reader but then we would have to go the rest of the way.  Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks

    I'm also experiencing the same issue where we go to open a document and it takes a long time to verify each of the signatures. Have you found a solution to this?

  • Adobe forms issue with signature pads

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to and just joined  this forum as I never had to until this point. I am having some strange issue with adobe forms and using signature pad.
    I have a form built using adobe X. I am using Topaz signature pad to have a digital signature in my form. My application (which was built on Progress 4GL) opens up this form using rich text editor. Most of my clients remote login to use the application. Every now and then my clients complain that whenever they click on the signature field on the form to open up the signature pad window, it kicks them out of the whole application. This happens so randomly that they can't predict when it occurs. I logged each and every lines on my code to see if there's any issue with the codes but they all execute fine. And I can't log after the form is open as adobe takes the control and they handle the  communication with signaute pad. So far I have checked if there's any memory leakage that would kick me out and it's fine. And I think there's no driver issue as this happens randomly. A client who gets kicked out 1st time if tries the 2nd or 3 rd time following the same steps and same form, can successfully gets the job done.
    Have any of you had faced similar issue. If you have any solutions or ideas that would be a great help to me.
    Thanks!!
    Him

    Updates: Just found out that this issue rises only to the clients using Wyse terminals. Has anyone had any issue using Adobe forms and Wyse terminals?

  • Saving after topaz signature in ReaderX

    I have a pdf form with signature blocks.  I am using Topaz,GemSignPlus as my default method both in Verification and Creation.
    This all works fine if I use Adobe Acrobat. 
    It all seems to work fine in Adobe Reader Until you try to save.
    This document was saved with the Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    What am I missing?

    I ran into that issue and here's my 'fix'. Wasn't Topaz.  I set up forms for others to sign with a Topaz sig pad and here's what I've discovered.  I have 3 steps in my files.  Create the form as a Template (with the form Edit open). Then File, Save As PDF and rename as Fillable.  Then 'Close Form Editing' and then Save As Reader Extended PDF, Enable Additional Features and name the file FILL.  So my files would look like:
    FormnameTemplate.pdf
    FormnameFillable.pdf
    FormnameFILL.pdf
    Then I send the FormnameFILL to the users. When they open the form and start filling out the form, BEFORE they sign the MUST Save the form FIRST.  Sometimes it would require saving after each signature.
    Then if they get the above error, just SaveAs and rename it Formname2FILL or whatever and try again.  Seems I've run into that if the form was emailed or opened previously. 
    It is strange when you get that error and you don't have any other pdf forms open.
    I think there must be something running in the background that hangs with Acrobat.

  • Multiple Electronic Signatures using Signature PAD

    Hello Experts,
    We have a requirement where we need to capture the electronic signature on thee PDF form at different time. This means I fill the PDF form get the 1st electronic signature using signature PAD and then saved the form. I open the same form and then take the 2nd signature. When we are taking the 2nd signature on the saved form it's making the form and signature invalid.
    Please let me know if there's a restriction by Adobe PDF such that you can't accept the signature once it's signed and saved.
    Thanks, Ritesh

    Yes, that's an e-signature. An option if you need to set up multiple e-signatures is to use stamps. They can be flattened individually, which converts them to regular page contents. The Acrobat help has more information on using stamps and you can use the following free JavaScript-based utility to flatten them after they're applied if you want: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • How can I connect my ipad to my mac and use it as a signature pad?

    The company I work for want utilize the ipads we have and use them as signature pads for clients to sign off on authorization forms. Is this possible and How can I got about doing this?

    It has nothing to do with the device. The way Wi-Fi works, an end device can only be associated with a single access point at a time. And the iPad will attempt to latch on to the strongest signal it gets, in case there are several usable access points at any given moment.

  • E-Pad and digital signatures

    Folks,
    Our company is implementing a new process wherein at the time of shipment, they would like to have the truck driver sign an e-Pad and the signature should be imported onto the bill-of-lading output. We have a customized delivery process and due to the volume of shipments, we do not want the truck drivers to spend anytime like saving the signature image to the desktop and then import into SAP etc.
    We want the signature to be imported from the delivery screen (custom developed) onto the bill of lading output at the click of a button. We are using SAP version 4.7 and the e-Pad signature is from interlink electronics, who appear to be naive in SAP. We are open to look at other vendors for e-Pad or e-Signatures.
    Hence, please help in the following ASAP:
    1. Does SAP 4.7 have any limitations to import digital signatures?
    2. Do anyone have any experience with e-Pad with interlink or can suggest any other vendor/product that can be readily used for this purpose?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ram

  • We have Topaz BSB signature pads not recognized in virtual environment

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Windows 7 recognizes the device. Device lights up, captures the signature and puts it on the document.
    If you change the signature pad, the new one won't work. However, if you log in as another user that hasn't had a signature pad associated with it then the sig pad operates properly. 
    My theory is once a user profile has an established sig pad it won't accept another even though Windows registers the device. The program we are trying to use it with is Meridian Link.
    Any feedback on this issue would be appreciated.

  • Appending new pages to signed documents now makes Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 mark signature as invalid

    Hello!
    I have developed a service that appends additional pages to existing PDF documents. Some of the documents the service works on happen to be signed. As the service appends the pages using incremental updates, the signed contents are left untouched. This makes Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 display the signature state as "valid with subsequent changes" which is ok and no one complains about.
    Now along come Acrobat 9 and Reader 9, and all of a sudden the signature state is "invalid" which my users do complain about. Telling them that inspecting the signature state details they can see that the signed content still is untouched and the actual change is recognized to be some appended pages, doesn't help either as they in turn forward the documents to their customers who don't accept the documents if the Adobe Reader sais the signatures are invalid.
    Does anyone know a way new pages can be added to a signed document without having the new Adobe program versions choke on them?
    Even a hint that involves adding some flag to the original unsigned document or the signature itself would help as the users in question can tweak those processes. Due to the nature of the workflow, though, signing unfortunately must happen before my service can add the new pages.
    Best regards, Mikel.
    By the way, the signatures in question are regular approval signatures, nothing fancy, especially not certifying signatures (which indeed can forbid any changes or at least any changes but some form fill-ins and annotations)...

    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.
