Transfer of Digital Signature Files

I've transferred my copy of Acrobat 7.1 Standard to another computer and I want to copy over my digital signature file. I can't find the file on my old computer. Could someone tell me how I can move a signature file to another computer?

Assuming you are talking about your digital ID, you can search for files with suffix .pfx or .p12. These are the files types that contain you digital ID certificate. If you find the desired file, move it to you new computer. Then import using Advanced > Security Settings and push the Add ID (+) button.
If you are talking about signature appearance files that is different. It's probably easier to recreate on your new computer, depending on what it's setup is (usually, it is just a matter of clicking some checkboxes to configure). Edit > Preferences > security panel.

2nd password on digital signature file

I am deploying Acrobat Standard 9 in a regulated environment (21 CFR Part 11) and need to have the digital signature file require a second password. While I know this is possible it does not seem to be a feature activated upon a default install. How do I turn on this feature?

Hi Madam Curie,
Part of the problem is the phraseology is incorrect so I'll start with some basic so we are all speaking the same language.
One thing to realize is you can digitally sign any piece of electronic data just like you can use you pen to sign any physical object such as a piece of paper, some one's cast, a wall, or you photo for your fans. In the electronic world you can sign your e-mail, your Word document, or as far as I'm concerned (realizing that I'm biased ) the most important thin, a PDF file.
A digital ID in the electronic world is analogous to a pen in the physical world. It is what you use to create a digital signature. A digital ID is comprised of three pieces; a public key, a corresponding private key, and a block of text with some identifying information. When the digital IS is initially created the public-key is signed with a private key. If the public key is signed with it's corresponding private key the digital ID is know as a "self-signed" digital ID. If it is signed by a different private key, the owner of that key becomes the issuer of the digital ID that it signs.
A digital signature in the electronic world is analogous to a wet ink signature. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature.
The next thing to realize is a digital signature is cryptographic blob of data and is not something one would normally see. If you are geeky enough you can decode one and view it in a special purpose viewer, but for the most part nobody ever sees the signature contents.
When you do sign a PDF file you can either create a visible signature or an invisible signature. In the case of the later, all you do is write the digitally signed blob of data into the PDF file and don't bother creating any visual representation. It's the visual signature that throws most people for a loop, but the key thing to understand is the visual appearance you see in the signature field (which is nothing more than a special purpose text field) is NOT the signature, it is just a representation of the actual signature which you never see.
The visual appearance is comprised of three things, a background (which by default is the PDF trefoil logo) and a foreground that is divided into two halves, text and a graphic.
Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I really mean both Acrobat and Reader) will let you create a digital signature with any digital ID that you have that is within it validity period, and includes digital signature as a key usage. The digital ID can be saved in several locations that Acrobat has access to. One is file on disk. The file would have the .p12 or .pfx file extension and you would have to add the file to Acrobat using the Security Setting dialog. Another place the digital ID can reside is the Windows Certificate Store of the Mac Keychain. If you've installed the digital ID into one of the OS based storage locations Acrobat will find it without you having to do anything else. Digital IDs can also reside on hardware devices such as a token (they look like a flash drive) or a smart card (they look like a credit card with a gold chip).
So, if you have a digital ID, but Acrobat doesn't know about it need to search you computer for a *.p12 or *.pfx, find out where the file is, than use the Add ID function in the Security Settings dialog to attache the file.
Finally, after you find and attache the file you can modify the Password Timeout to require that a password is always required. Or, if you want to import the file into the Windows Certificate Store you can use the High Assurance option to require a password otherwise Windows will just assume that if you can log in to your desktop then that's good enough.

Xfa Form, Digital Signatures, file attachments and Reader 9

Hi,
In reader 8 and previous, when i wanted to have a form that could be signed, passed to the next persons, added attachement signed, repeat, while maintaining the signatures valid, i could.
Since we updated to reader 9.12 all previously signed documents appear with invalid signatures and if i try to attach a file, the add button just isn't there.
If i follow he following steps:
Server side:
- Create PDF from xdp + xml (using forms).
- Assign Form Fillin, Digital Signatures and File Attachment (using Reader Extentions)
Client side:
- Populate the Form data
- Attach files
- Certifiy
- Sign (multiple Signatures)
It works fine, but it isn't the workflow i had in previous versions.
The workflow i have here is:
Server side:
- Create PDF from xdp + xml (using forms).
- Assign Form Fillin, Digital Signatures and File Attachment (using Reader Extentions)
Client side:
- Populate the Form data
- Attach files
- add Signature (only locks a collections of form fields)
- Repeat until everyone has attached their files and signed.
The problem is that this worked fine in versions before 9 (all digital signatures here validated with the yellow exclamation mark indicating new content), but in 9 and up what i get, after validating the signatures in reader, is a information indicating that the signatures are invalid because the document is either corrupt or has been changed.
Is this a bug or has this been changed from version 8 to version 9?
I've read the changelist of reader 9 and it talks nothing about this situation or Digital Rights other than form fillin, annotations and digital signtatures (the ones we can choose in the certification wizard of Acrobat Pro).
Any idea if its possible to implement the second scenario in reader 9, or even if its possible? Is there a guide on the practices Adobe garaties will allow to validate signatures in the following years? Even if it means usings PDFA.
Thanks in advance.

One last try.
You help would really be welcome in finding out the root cause of the difference in behaviour between reader 8 and 9 in this matter (bug or change).
I have no idea what documentation to read (since i've read the launch documentation and change list documentation) about reader 9, i've contacted Adobe 3 days ago (and the answer is silence, like usuall) and have no clear thought about what to say (without taking a huge risk by giving a uninformed answer) about this issue.
Thanks.

Applying Digital signature for SFTP protocal

Hi,
There is an requirement in the project that transfer of digital signatured document from client FTP site to the Bank FTP site. I have implemented the solution for tansfer of any document from client FTP site to bank FTP site. However not have any clue on how to apply digital signature before transferring using SFTP protocal.
I have gone through b2b guide and found that We can apply digital signature and message encryption for only AS1/2, ebMS-1.0/2.0 and RosettaNet-01.10/V02.00 Protocols. Security tab is enabled when we select the above protocols only.
Please shed some light on how to provide the solution for this requirement.
Regards,
Anjana

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for responding.
I have implemeted simple java program which creates file with some data-> created jar file. Confgured the Transport callout by by assoicating the callout name under SFTP channel->channel attributes etc..
I tried to test it, java program was able to generate the file succssfully but on reports section in b2b, message is errored out wih the error of Error Code B2B-50079
Error Description Machine Info: (odcdevsoa01.ohdc.com) Transport error: Transport callout error.
public class fileCallOut implements Callout {
public void execute(CalloutContext calloutContext, List input,
List output) throws CalloutDomainException,

FileOutputStream fos = null;
File outFile = new File("/u01/tempFileLoc/callout.txt");
CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
try {
String str = "But soft! what code in yonder program breaks?";
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
out.write(str);
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
Since it is simple java program, Can you please help me in identifying the issue where went wrong here.

Add Digital Signature Using C# and Acrobat SDK

Hi everybody!
Please, how can I digitally sign PDF documents using Acrobat Professional 8 API and C# language?
I know that I need use JavaScript APIs (IAC) but I can't find anything really helpful in the Acrobat SDK Documentation. Could anyone post a sample of how use javascript manipulation inside C# (Framework 2.0), or give me a direction?
Thank in advance!

Transfer Smartform Logo/Digital Signature To Unix

Hi Experts,
I need to transfer Smartform's Logo/ Digital Signature to unix server along with other text of smartform.
Current Status:
Text on the SF has been converted and tranferred to Unix using Dataset operations (Character by Character Approach in Binary Mode)
Problem:
Target file in Unix is not displaying the Logo and digital signature that is there in SF.
I am using 'Convert_OTF' and then 'QCE1_Convert' FM to gget PDF data and then transfer each character to dataset using Binary mode.
Please guide how to get Graphics also.
Thanks
Depesh

Hi,
Yes, I have tested the smartform using Print Preview as well as I have downloaded it to desktop in PDF format before sending it to UNIX. Downloaded as well as print preview file is showing the Graphics but when sent to Archive for UNIX directory, Graphics are not diplayed.
I am working on ECC 6.0.
Do you have any idea if the images in Binary format when sent to UNIX are readable directly or we need some other patch/storage maintenance for extracting images in UNIX.
Thanks
Depesh

Multiple digital signatures in one file

I have a client who wants me to combine 4 different forms into one--then--require a digital signature by the same person after each independent form. So that would be 4 digital signatures total. And all identical. I'm using a different name per each field so there's no conflict.
It appears to work fine until I have it submit dynamically with a PHP script via email inbox.
When I open the PDF (having crunched the info back in from an FDF) the data is there EXCEPT the digital signatures.
Can someone point me to a tutorial?
Best regards,
Mare

Hi Mare,
You cannot merge files and expect that the digital signatures will be preserved. When you sign a file you are signing all of the bytes in that file, and only that file. Once you combine files you are creating a new unsigned file. If someone were to sign the new file they are signing all of the bytes in the new file, not just some of the bytes. There is no "page level" signing in PDF files, only whole file signing.
You can however put the signed files into a Portfolio file. A Portfolio keeps the files separate. Think of a Portfolio like a file cabinet in the physical world. Just because you put different files into the file cabinet drawer, they don't merge.

Can I create an automatic custom file save name/path once I click digital signature field?

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is once I click on a digital signature and I add my digital signature it requires me to sign it. I want to know if there's a workaround to where once I click it it will automatically save to a file name based on a field and to a pre-determined directory? Say, if I want it to save to a users desktop. My supervisor is wanting to eliminate his employees having to change the file name to the format he wants and selecting the save location and make it automatic for everyone to have it saved at the same location on their computers.
Will likely have everyone in the office create a folder named 'Leave Requests'. This will be the location on the desktop where all these automatically saved files would go. The custom file name would be Emp_Name + "Leave Request" + Date where Emp_Name and Date are 2 variables that are user inputted field values on the form. I have looked around but there doesn't seem to be too much on this one. I do realize I can't create a custom 'Save As' location and path name but I have read a little about creating a custom automatic save feature and wanted to know if I could implement that. Here is the information I read about:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
I appreciate all help any of you can give me in this matter. Thanks!!!

PDF files crashes with Digital Signature

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat 9.1 Pro. My files are crashing any time I click on "sign document" to add a digital signature. with the send error box"Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Tried several documents it is all the same. Clicking on any sub-function under the sign menue results in crashing of the file.
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks,

...well I guess it was something wrong with my computer that caused this, had problems with my firewall/virus program also and when I got that fixed then the book download worked as it should also.

Reducing File Size After Applying Digital Signature

I have a dynamic form created in Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2, reader extended in Acrobat Pro 9.4 and being filled in and signed in Reader 9.4. The form has multiple (10+) digital signature fields. In some cases, images (jpeg, tiff) are inserted into the form before it is circulated for signatures. Everytime a signature is applied, the file size grows based on the size of the images that have been attached as it seems to be embedding a signed version of the form each time a signature is applied. After a few signatures are applied, the file size can grow to be quite large. Is there a way to prevent it from doing this everytime a signature is applied so that the file can be kept to a more manageable size?

Go into the importing tab, and set the options to Mp3 at a lower bitrate, then go to your song and choose Convert to Mp3 - it will then create another copy at a lower bitrate - leaving the high quality original - you can then burn the smaller one to your CD - it shouldn't take long to convert.
