Unable to digitally sign and save a PDF document

I am currently using ADOBE ACROBAT 8.0 Professional (Ver 8.1.0).  I provide proofreading service for a client.  The client provides me with a PDF which I use the comment and mark up tool to indicate required changes.  Once all of the comments are complete, I mark the document approved or disapproved and attach a digital signature.
Recently, many files that I have recieved from the client will not allow me to sign and save the PDF.  I can save the PDF without the signature but not when it is digitally signed.  The error reads:
"The document could not be saved.   A number is out of range"
I queried my client to find out if they have made any changes.  They have recently upgraded to Illustrator 4 and they create the PDF's for me from the Illustrator files they work from.  There are four teams using the same Illustrator program but not all of them are producing files that I cannot sign and save.
Can anyone tell me what the error indicates?  Is there a property assigned to the document that I can not recognize that refers to this problem.
Since the files I work on contain proprietary information, I prefer not to attach them to this forum.  If anyone is interested in helping, I will share a file to fully explain my problem.

I will try that, thank you.

  • Issue while Signing and Encrypting the PDF Document.

    Hello,
    I am developing one component in VC++(MFC) which signs and encrypts the pdf documents.
    When i sign and encrypt pdf document using my component, I am getting following error while opening the document in Adobe Acrobat
    Error during signature verification
    Unexpected byte range values defining scope of signed data.
    Details: The signature byte range is invalid
    But if i open that document in binary mode and calculate the byte range its looking correct.
    The Process for signing and encrypting the PDF document is as follows :
    1)Prepare the PDF document for signing (Add Annotation objects,n0,n2
    layers,create blank signature field,new xref section etc.)
    2)Encrypt the whole document(Password based encryption).
    3)Put the ByteRange values.
    4)Write the signature in blank signature field.
    If i just perform encryption(128 bit RC4 Algorithm) on the pdf document its working fine.Only after adding the signature objects i am getting above error.I think it means something is wrong in signature related objects,but i am not able to recognize the exact problem.
    So what can be the issue?
    Please Help
    Thanks in Advance

  • How to disable digital signing and saving of PDF form?

    I have a PDF form that I have created. It does not have a signature field becuase I need them to print and physically sign the form. However no matter what I do Adobe Reader offers the option to digitally sign the form (as well as save it). How do I disable this?? Thank you for the help in advance.

    Thank you for the answer and explanation.  Unfortunately I am still not sure the best solution.
    It is a business application for a city site. As a result the limit of 500 is obviously not going to work. Also for legal reasons they need the form physically signed.
    The original hope was to provide a PDF form that could be filled in (almost entirely) on the computer if desire and then printed, signed, and turned in to the city.
    What they don't want is for someone to fill it out on the computer, use the echosign and email it as they need the physical signature.
    Sounds like we might have to choose between:
    - not having it interactive (so they can just print it out and fill it out)
    Or
    - make it so they can fill it out on the computer, but include instructions that they need the print it out and physically sign it. And hope they follow the instructions.
    Again, thank you for the explanation. I think I will just have to let them decide.

  • Cannot sign and certify a PDF any more

    I can't sign and certify a PDF document, and I used to be able to. It prompts me for a password and I put it there and it doesn't work.

    I will try that, thank you.

  • PDF attachment sign and save problem

    I've used digital signatures for quite a while without problem. Recently, I've noticed that when trying to digitally sign a PDF attachment from Outlook 2003 or 2010 using Adobe Acrobat Standard 7, I get an error when clicking Sign and Save. The Sign and Save As button works fine
    Error is:
    The document could not be signed.
    There was an error when attempting to commit this signature. The document was not saved.
    The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

    I will try that, thank you.

  • 'Sign and Save As' in Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional

    Hello!
    I realize this is not a critical error or anything, but it is a major nuisance to the tech-unsavy and easily frustrated in my office.
    When signing a document with a Digital Signature in Acrobat 7.0, you had the option to "Sign and Save" which would allow you to do so with one click. In Acrobat 8.0, that option has been replaced with "Sign and Save As" which gives you no choice but to browse to the folder you want to save the file. It automatically opens to the right folder, but you then have to click again to confirm that you want to overwrite the existing file.
    Since our files are always in the same folder and always replace the one preceding it, this is completely unnecessary and I inevitably get a call from someone in the office who freezes when confronted with a scary dialogue box asking for input.
    So my questions is: is there a setting to revert back to "Sign and Save"? Or is this an option in a more recent version of Acrobat?
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    Best,
    Perry

    Unfortunately, it looks like the "sign and save as" behavior is the only one available in Acrobat 8 and 9. I believe this was because many people were confused about where the signed document ended up or wanted to preserve the original pre-signature document and didn't realize they were going to overwrite it.
    I don't see any setting related to this in the Security Administration Guide at www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_security

  • Unable to digitally sign or encrypt messages in Mail

    I recently switched from a PC to a Mac and I have been unable to digitally sign or encrypt any of my e-mails. I'm currently running version 3.3 (926.1/926) for Mail and I made sure that my .cer security certificate is located in Keychain Access as well as certificates for my contacts. My certificate is valid because it has the green checkmark next to it.
    I know what the *digitally sign* and encryption buttons should look like and where they should be located when composing e-mails, but they are just not there for me. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this. Does it matter which folder the .cer security certificates should be located in for Keychain Access? Or is there a specific option I need to enable within Mail to be able to see those buttons?
    I know that Mail is recognizing security certificates for e-mails that are being sent to me because it is showing the starburst/checkmark icon next to those e-mail addresses, and my Address Book is showing that same icon next to those e-mail addresses for my contacts.

    I finally have a solution to this problem. I had been trying to use a .cer security certificate issued by Comodo, it had worked just fine on Windows but my Mac didn't seem to like it. I also tried creating my own certificate through OSX, but even after I created it I still couldn't see the buttons.
    I had someone direct me to this webpage which ultimately helped me fix the problem:
    http://allforces.com/2007/03/02/email-security/
    I ended up using Thawte to issue me another security certificate (this time it was an x.509 file), the security certificate automatically opened in Keychain Access and downloaded to the Certificates and My Certificates folder. Once I shutdown Mail and restarted it I had the buttons for both encryption and digitally signed. Of course the encryption button is still greyed out because it is a new certificate and I need to make sure my Address Book contacts have a copy of it before I can encrypt.

  • Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:
    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
    Hope that helps,

  • Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

    I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
    Thanks
    JDRHC1115

    Dave,
    Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
    be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
    to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
    document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
    when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X

    Subject:        Is it possible to create and save a .PDF
    without any compression to the resulting .PDF?
    You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
    COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
    compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
    Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
    click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
    options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
    want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
    Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

  • Create and save a .pdf file

    Afternoon!  I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great.  It opens and displays well.  My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it?  My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

    <cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
    it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
    so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

  • Unable to digitally sign

    I have a form created that multiple people go in and sign, but one person in particular always gets the message "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open.  Please......."  I know what that usually means but in this case there's no one in the file at the time.  I've even had everyone that has access to this file shut down Adobe completely in case it was locked by the program without the file being open.
    Anyone ever seen this before or know what to do to fix it?
    It will let him sign but never save!  He has the proper directory access, and was able to sign in the past.

    If the user copies the file to their local machine, are they able to sign and save the form?   If the order that your users sign the form is changed, can the user experiencing the problem sign the form?
    I don't believe this issue is related to the signatures, I think it's specific to the fact that the file is accessed from a shared drive, something seems to be keeping the file open. 
    Regards
    Steve

  • I can't print an email and "save as pdf"

    Since the last system upgrade, which I believe is Yosemite 10.10.1, I have not been able to print emails and save them as a pdf file. I cannot save an attachment as a pdf file.  The problem is somewhat recent and has just happened after the last upgrade or possibly the one prior. The problem is only applicable to emails; I am able to save other documents as a pdf file; just not an email or an attachment.  This is on a MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    For some unknown reason, it is working this morning.  I shut down my computer overnight and this morning it is working. I re-booted 3 times yesterday with not result. Now I can save the attachment and print the email and save as pdf.  Gremlins I guess.  However, thank you for your concern and help on the issue.
