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?

Signature verification in Adobe Reader 10 takes a VERY long time...

I work for a restaurant chain that uses PDFs for their new hire paperwork. We use a signature pad to sign the documents, and the documents have 51 signature boxes. Due to signature verification, it takes an absurdly long time to complete the paperwork (up to 60 minutes). Is there a way to disable the signature verification? It's incredibly frustrating to the management staff to have to sit in the office for an hour just to fill out a document that should only take about 15 minutes.

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

It isn't signing in. I hope someone can explain this better than me but it goes something like this.
To sign you make a certificate. Either you buy the certificate from a trusted source, or you make a special public certificate, and send that to all your contacts. This sending is special - you can't just email it, because it could be a fake. People need to know it's real, perhaps by arrangement.
Anyway, people are now set to look at a PDF which says YOU signed it. They can check if the certificate you used matches the public certificate you sent. If it does, the file is unaltered. If it doesn't it is a fake. Plus, there is a third case - it might be your real signature then someone changed the PDF. But thanks to the certificate, when you validate you are told about that too.
Certificates, the law, signing and that area are complex, and you need to understand before you start. It's easy to make worthless signed documents.
By the way, I've no idea if any of this clever stuff works on iOS!!

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

How do I use a protected document in Adobe Reader?

I am trying to use a document that requires a user name and password in Adobe Reader on my tablet. The problem is that I have tried everything and nothing I do will allow me to enter this information. It says editing is not allowed with this protected document, but it is set up to allow editing so I can put in the info required to unlock the contents. I have attempted to search your database and all the answers I have tried have not worked. Please help! I am at a loss and I need this document unlocked. Thank you!

Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, etc.) do not support commenting or form filling with secured (hence, encrypted) PDF documents.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured PDF form. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Signature option in Adobe Reader.

Why is the signature option in Adobe Reader one "greyed out" for iPad users, you can no longer access your signatures and add them to a document ?

Hi F & F,
If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4 Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

How to use mailForm methode (javascript) in adobe reader 9.3?

Hi! I want to know if it exist a way to use the mailForm method (this is javascript) in adobe reader 9.3?
Or, are there any equivalent method? I want to send by email a FDF with my PDF.
When I run my javascript, I got the following error: "NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.mailForm:55:Field FI_ENVOYER:Mouse Up ".
(Here, FI_ENVOYER is the name of my button).
Tanks for the help!

My document have this rights:
Protection method:                              None
May be open in:                                  Every version of Acrobat
Print:                                                 Allowed

Affixing signature:                              Allowed
Creating pages models:                     Unauthorized
Is "Creating pages models" or "Assemble the document" can prevent the use of the mailForm method?
I know that the mailForm requires privileges, but how can I allow these two rights who are unhauthorized?
Is there something else I can do to be able to use the method "mailForm" without having the "NotAllowedError"?
Tanks

Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat". This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

KVD

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

Signature issue in Adobe Reader XI (Unable to sign)

I have Adobe Reader XI installed both on my work laptop and my home PC.
I have the same PDF document on both my home computer and work laptop. (and yes, I have sent a new copy of the working document to my work computer to ensure it hasn't been modified or changed). It is the exact same document.
I open it at home and I have the ability to sign the PDF document and then use the save as option to save a copy of the signed document, and I have done so to submit it on weekly basis. (A time sheet).
I was able to do so at work maybe 2 or 3 times and then one time when opening Reader, a popup appeared for an update for Adobe Reader in my notification area and I installed the update from adobe.com. Ever since I installed that update, now when I open the same document at work, both the Place Initials and Place Signature options are both grayed out and I have not been able to figure out why. I have gone through all the preferences and settings and I can't find anything that would account for them being disabled.
I have not installed the update on my home system for fear of the same issue occurring. (I need to be able to submit that time sheet) and I would like to regain this ability on my work laptop. Can anyone provide any ideas on why I would suddenly lose the ability to sign a PDF document that shows under the document properties as available to be signed. (ie: Signing: Allowed).
I have tried uninstalled and re-installing Adobe Reader on the laptop. Same issue.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

This is definitely a set up issue and User might have unintentionally assigned the port belonging to someother printer to this printer on his machine.
This is a setup issue and completely unrelated to Adobe reader. You may infact verify from some other non-Adobe Applications.
Thanks,

How to apply for self-developed plug-in signatures licensing about Adobe Reader

Our company is doing something in the field of electronic certification industry, which uses Adobe reader to sign PDF files based on various signature algorithms. While, there is a problem that Adobe reader does not support PDF signature based on the signature algorithm of SM2. To solve the problem, we have developed an API file. And now, we can use the Adobe Professional version sign files Successfully, only by put the API file under the folder named Adobe plug-in, but not work well in Adobe Reader. According to the documentation, such as http://www.adobe.com/cn/devnet/reader/ikla.html and http://www.adobe..com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/plugin_apps_developer_guide .pdf, in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a self-developed plug-in we have developed need to be signed or obtain the relevant certification by Adobe before use.
If we propose certification and licensing applications to Adobe to ask the possibility of obtaining permission for our plug-in, what are the specific processes and requirements we need to know? Any useful information, I would be grateful. (Including the information we need to provide, as well as the cost and the certification time, etc.)

I think you're more likely to get a reply over at the Acrobat SDK forum: Acrobat SDK

No signature pain in Adobe Reader XI

Why is it that if you have a submit ( by email ) button on a form, the options for adding a writen or typed signature are greyed out and you can only add a digital signature when filling it with Adobe Reader 11, but you can put a writen signature on the form if you are using the Adobe Reader App for iOS or Android?
