User has to save document after electronically signing

Hello all,
I created a fillable PDF with multiple Electronic Signature fields. When testing out the document, I entered my electronic signature, which I was able to enter without any problems. The issue is that after entering the signature, I am required to save the PDF. I had a version of this document from last year and it didn't require me to save after entering a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9, so I'm not sure if this is why this is ocurring, but I don't want everyone that signs the document to have to save it, I'd rather them save it when they are finished completing the form. Is there a way to disable this? I spent alot of time going through the forum and googling, but couldn't find anything about disabling this feature.
Thanks in advance,
Tina

Hi Pedro and Tina,
Let me see if I can simplify Isak's answer.
Short answer, you have to save the file when you sign, there is no getting around this.
If you are interested why, then read on (if not, I understand)...
When you sign a file you are signing the whole file, everything top to bottom, left to right. Like anything in the computer world all files, be they a PDF file or a Word Doc or an e-mail, or a picture, or a music file, that is any file; is made up of a blob of electronic bits.
When you sign the file you are really signing this the big blob of electronic bits. These bits (Isak mentioned bytes, but a bytes is just 8 bits) control how the file looks (or sounds) and it's important that when you sign them that they are not changed during the signing process. If they were to be changed during the signing process you could end up signing something that you didn't really agree to. As an example, if you were signing a document that said I owe you $10 you certainly would want the amount to change (or at least become larger ).
To prevent the bits from changing it is best practice to write all of the bits to disk before the signature is created. You could do what is known as "sign in memory" where the signature is created without saving the file to disk, but (and this is the sad part) this is where the bad guys can take over and change things. It's much harder for someone to manipulate the bits that have been saved to disk then it is for them to manipulate the bits in memory. If there were no bad guys then we could enable signing in memory, but alas...
The signing operation is really an operation based of trust, that is, you trust what you are signing is correct and the document recipient trusts you are who you say you are. Should the signed data be compromised it would be a very bad thing for all involved and that includes Adobe. Thus the ability for things to go wrong must be minimized and that's why you have to save when you sign.

EditForm.aspx Save button prompts user to open/save document.

Hi,
Here is the senerion where i am working on.I am saving a document to a sharepoint 2010 document library from an windows user control and soon after saving i am redirecting that saved document to editform.aspx so that metadata can be applied
to that document.But when i am trying to save the document form editform.aspx it is prompting to open/save the document to the hard disk.
so my question is how can i override the save functionality in editform.aspx of an sharepoint document library so that it should't prompt to open/save document.

I know this is very old and I had a similar issue with creating an upload button for a client.
<div class="ms-uploadbtnlink">
<button onclick="javascript:window.location='http://adventureworks.com/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={05D72EF7-0026-48C2-BE40-464B7F30CA21}&RootFolder='" type="button">
<nobr>
<img alt="Upload a Document" src="/_layouts/Images/uploaddoc.png"/>
<span>Upload a Document</span>
</nobr>
</button>
</div>
I tried everything listed here and nothing worked. Opening the upload form in a dialogue solved my issue.
Here's the updated code:
<div class="ms-uploadbtnlink">
<button type="button" id='upload-vendor-doc'>
<nobr>
<img alt="Upload a Document" src="/_layouts/Images/uploaddoc.png"/>
<span>Upload a Document</span>
</nobr>
</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function openModalDialog(modalUrl, width, height) {
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.height = parseInt(height);
options.width = parseInt(width);
options.url = modalUrl;
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
var URL = "http://adventureworks.com/accounting/VI/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={05D72EF7-0026-48C2-BE40-464B7F30CA21}&RootFolder=";
document.getElementById("upload-vendor-doc").onclick = function() {
openModalDialog(URL, 800, 1000);
</script>
Hope that helps someone.

Adobe XI Acrobat won't save documents after scanning

Quite frustrated with this issue. I just purchased 23 new workstations and bought Adobe for them. 3 have Pro that I downloaded straight from Adobe's website, 20 have Standard that came through Dell Digital Delivery. Every single workstation has this same problem where we can use our desktop scanners to scan in documents, but then we can't save them using the "Save" or "Save As" button. This happens about 90% of the time, and then it works properly the other 10% of the time.
I've updated the drivers and the firmware on my scanners and each of these workstations is brand new, ordered from Dell, Optiplex 9010s and 7010s with 8 GB ram, i5 or i7 processors, Windows 7 64 bit, brand new Acrobat version 11.
We've been using Adobe Acrobat for a long time. Version 7, 8 and 9 on our XP computers and have never had this problem elsewhere. Out of curiosity I removed XI and installed 9 on to one of the workstations and it worked perfectly. I removed 9 and reinstalled 11 and the same problem is present.
I spent more than 6 hours in chat support between 5 different techs this last Friday and they're telling me they don't know what the problem is and that it has to be referred to a developer.
Anyone else having this issue? Any solutions? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've worked with several more different techs and had my 3rd party IT company work with Adobe as well. At several different points in time, the techs were totally not comprehending what the problem was, even though it was spelled out in plain English for them. We're on Win 7 and two different techs were working with me as if I was on Win XP. There is a terrible lack of communication with Adobe, even when I've sent in detailed information in writing to them. They've failed to escalate to higher tier techs and keep having techs work with me that are reading from an online manual rather than being knowledgeable in the inner workings of Acrobat. Very frustrating. 3 techs in a row attempted to appy the same fix, that didn't work, after reading the notes from the previous tech who attempted the same fix. It was a total run around and the worst tech assistance I've ever received.
At this point I've reloaded the Adobe software multiple times, installed updates and also used scanners with recent firmware and old firmware and it's still a problem. After playing with it for weeks on end, I found that using "custom scan" and having it set up for "native mode" works successfully 100% of the time. Any time I try any other scan options, I have the same problem again. I've issued the Custom Scan directive to my staff and we are completely trouble free using this method.
I finally got an answer, 6 weeks later, from Adobe after one of their people corresponded with Kodak on this issue. They tell me that according to Kodak, we'll have to use Custom Scan in order to run trouble free...which of course we already found out.
So, try the Custom Scan and in Native mode. It's not inconvenient and works fine. Good luck to everyone.
PS...also, I found this issue to happen with both Adobe Acrobat X and XI on Windows 7 machines. Adobe 8 and 9 work trouble free on the Win 7 machines.

Taleo users have problems opening documents after installing Adobe Flash player 13.0.0.214

Since the release of the newest version of flash, 13.0.0.214 many Taleo users can login but cannot view documents in the Taleo system. When they click on a document, it does not open. The last version which worked was 13.0.0.206, Is a fix available for this problem?

What does that mean? Adobe is the name of the company that maintains hundreds of softwares, each has a distinct name.
What is the file type of these documents?

Cannot save documents after updating to Pages 5.5.2

After updating to Pages 5.5.2, I can no longer save or edit documents. It just says that (document name).pages can not be created. Same thing happens if I try to export to .docx or .pdf. Please help, I can no longer work, the update completely broke my program.

Hello mckayj93,
It is hard to say why it is not allowing you to save or export a file, but try deleting pages from your Mac and then download it again so it will install a fresh copy if you think it was something to do with the update. There will be a record of Pages associated with your Apple ID so it will not charge you to download it again.

How can i get the user that has created a document

I only need to know wich user has created a document(purchase order).
For example, if user SALES1 creates a purchase order(100),in wich table/field is stored this information?(that tells me that user SALES1 has created purchase order 100).
Thanks in advance!

Hi
If you look in the table of the documents there is a field called "UserSign". This user sign then matches with a column "usersign" in OUSR. In ousr it has the user names and all the other details for all the users.
Hope this helps

JavaScript for completely locking pdf after digitally signing

I currently use both Abobe Acrobat XI and Livecycle Designer ES4.
When i want to add the option to completely lock down a document after digitally signing (inc disabling of the 'clear signature' option) i execute javascript within the properties of the digital signature which works fine no problem.
Im lead to believe that Livecycle will remove any scripting from a pdf created within acrobat as it uses its own flavour so to speak.
My question is, does anybody know what the Livecycle equivalent is to have the option of locking after signing (as image) and disable the 'clear signature' feature post signing?
Any feedbcak is appreciated.

Not sure where your pic is from. But in LC Designer you can specify what you want locked after signing.

Substitution rule has to triggered after save document in FB70 and FB75

HI,
I have a substitution rule for REFNR field and that will trigger when you make FB70 and FB75 for 2 company codes. In the user exit for subustitution we have a code to get the next object number for some other purpose. because third party will use this generated next number for their legal requirement.
The real problem comes this substitution rule is triggered before save document. due to this if i came back from the transaction without saving the document I am losing that generated number which i dont want.
I need some tips on this. is there a way in the substituion settings we will trigger this exit at save document.
I would appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards
PRasad

Hi Rob,
I would like to know.
call point 001 is document header
call point 002 is document item
call point 003 is complete document.
I am assuming 003 triggers after complete the document.
Any clue on this.

Cannot save file after it is digitally signed

Hello, I work for the IT Dept at my company and one of our employees is having trouble saving PDF files after digitally signing them. He received the error message:
The document could not be saved. Can not save to this file name. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
After each signature, Acrobat asks to save the file, which he does. The strange thing is that he may sign the same document 4 times, and the error might only occur on the last attempt to save. It will successfully perform it the first three times. I cannot find a pattern to the errors. The times he gets the error messages don't necessarily all happen on the last attempt, it might be the first or the middle. I have tried updating the program and searching around through the options to find any setting which may be applicable, but have had no luck. I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and I can't make any progress.
Does anyone eles have this problem or have a solution?

I don't have an answer as I have never seen the problem. However, for those that might be able to answer the question they will likely want to replicate the problem. It would be helpful to know what OS (and if 32 or 64-bit) and what version (include subversion) of Acrobat -- latest 10.1.4. If you can create a sample document that has the problem, then folks may have an easier time to repeat it. A document can be posted either at one of your sites, Acrobat.com, or maybe dropbox.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane. If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing. Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit. When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use. If they save as a different name, it works. Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane. They don't use the preview pane. I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save. But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
use it without problems.
