Using a Surface Pro 2 to Sign PDF's?

I'm a Realtor and when I create new documents for a transacton they come from Zip Forms in PDF format.
I have been trying to figure out a way to be able to sign these PDF's on a tablet. Current in Acrobat reader I can use the pen selection in the options but there is no way to control the "point" of the pen and it essentially looks like a really FAT marker in the signature areas, pretty much unuseable.
I've tried a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, found the same problem.
If I use Acrobat Pro instead (and thus paying for acrobat then), would that give me the option to do this?
Or, should I use something like the Surface Pro 2 instead with normal acrobat (shopping for a tablet now anyway)?
Or would I need BOTH for that to work?
I figure there has got to be a way to do on screen signatures in Acrobat on PDF's...I cannot possibly be the only person wanting to do this?
Thanks!

  • Surface pro 3 - using rdp - thin client - display resolution shrink

    Hi,
    I have a surface pro 3, using a thin client to access and run an application on our server.  it is an access based application.  the display of the forms and application display in a very small font - through the thin client interface.  I
    cannot figure out how to enlarge the font - msft tech chat suggested I post this question here as there seems to be no immediate resolution for now.  if I plug a USB into the SP3 and open the app it displays wonderfully - any suggestions are welcome.
    thank you,
    john

    Anyone?! :(
    I think this device is trememdous - and could replace 'everyday business users' - maybe not hardcore IT/coder/developers - hardware - but it surely has the balls to keep Suzy happy while answering emails and buying shoes (so chauvenistic - I know - ok then
    think Billy playing solitaire).
    Struggling to find ANYone having woe's using a Surface Pro 3 through a VPN & thin-client.  The resolution just shrinks to the point it's almost illegible.  I downloaded the RDMC - but unsure of how or what to do with it, unfortunately.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Lightroom Mobile on Surface Pro

    I've been trying to find an answer to this question but have had no luck. I use Adobe Lightroom as part of my Creative Cloud Membership on my desktop for a majority of my photo editing. All is good there.
    In Lightroom I've signed in and made some of my Collections editable on the cloud. I love that I can use my iPad or my Android Phone using the Lightroom Mobile App to do some light editing whenever I'm away from my desktop.
    I have a Surface Pro tablet also and I would love to use my Surface Pro to edit photos when away from my desktop. My problem is  it doesn't seem like Lightroom on the Surface has the same capabilities to edit the catalogs that I've set to be in the cloud.
    Am I not understanding how Online/Mobile/Tablets work together or am I wanting to do something that isn't possible. It just seems like a Surface Pro 3 should be able to do what my iPad and phone can do.
    I've read all about putting catalogs on dropbox and have the images on a removable drive and understand how that works, it just seems much more burdensome than the easier iPad/phone ease of use.
    Thanks-Scott

    You want to share LR and its photos on two desktop-capable systems.   LR is a single-user program that needs the catalog attached locally. 
    The way I accomplish what you want is to have my LR catalog and photos on a portable USB3-attached 2TB drive and carry that with me.  Because the drive is portable and subject to loss or theft or damage I backup my 2TB drive to another 2TB drive when I am at my main desktop computer.  I basically copy everything on the main drive to the backup drive but using options in my backup program to only copy files that are different either in time-stamp or filesize which works out to my new photos, my LR catalog and some LR preview files.  I have had the portable drive fail and merely replace my backup drive and use my former backup for my primary work, immediately, or as soon as I have copied things to the new backup drive.

  • How to adjust line sampling frequency in photoshop CC on surface pro 3

    I just got a Surface Pro 3 so that I could work on my art on the go. I am used to working on a mac with a cintiq, but fell for the hype that photoshop was optimized to work with SP3. However, when I try to use the brush tool, my lines look AWFUL! no matter what I do, the lines are wavy and messy looking. I read that PSCC raised the sampling frequency rate so that the line would look better, but I think THAT is exactly why it looks awful. the Surface pro seems to be picking up EVERY microscopic twitch. I cant work like this ... and I am surely not the only person using PSCC on the SP3, as they're ADVERTISED to work together. How do I adjust the sampling frequency so that my line looks as smooth as it does on a Wacom in photoshop? ...because THAT image below.. looks like crap.

    I'm not an artist so I don't draw using my Surface pro 3.  Many have the same issue with wacom tablets and cintigu from what I read.  They seem to be able to solve their concerns by installing a plugin Lazy Nezumi Pro - Mouse and Pen Smoothing for PhotoShop and other Apps Remember I don't draw and have not installed that plug-in so I can not state that it works well on a surface pro 3.
    Doing a Web search  I found this I quote
    Hi guys,
    I'm the author of Lazy Nezumi Pro!
    Here's the situation with the Surface Pro 3: I'm not 100% sure, but I think the people who got LNP to work with the SP3 the ones who have Photoshop CC 2014, which uses the new Windows 8 native tablet API (instead of Wintab, which is very old tech). If you have this version, make sure you enable Windows Ink for it to work right. It's possible that the N-Trig Wintab implementation is just buggy, or that it's doing something very differently than what LNP is expecting (this is probably the case since I have reports that PS works fine without LNP). Unfortunately I won't know more until I get a SP3 myself and do some testing/debugging.
    I'm sorry I can't help more right now, but I'll keep you updated!  

  • Can I open reader and digitally sign pdf in flash?

    First off let me say, I have 0 experience with Adobe Flash or Adobe Air, so this may be a dumb question or I may not even be asking in the right place.  I currently have an application which uses Adobe Reader to digitally sign PDF files.  The PDFs are displayed inline within a webpage.  The user must use Adobe Reader because it needs to be FIPS 140 certified.  The issue we are running into is with browsers like Chrome and Firefox bunding their own PDF reader, it brakes our application.  I am looking for a way to force users to use Adobe Reader.  From reading on the web, it looks like this isn't really possible and we are at the mercy of the PDF plugin the user has installed.  The idea I thought of, though, would be to write an Adobe Flash application which would display the PDF.  I am hoping doing it this way, I could force the use of Adobe Reader and not the PDF plugin of the browser.  Does anyone know if this will work?  And if it does, will I have all functions of Adobe Reader available (specifically digitally signing)?

    for a web based app, you can't easily display a pdf in flash.  even for an air app (or any other platform), you can't force anyone to use adobe reader (especially, because not everyone has adobe reader).

  • Surface Pro 3 restarting after a series of blank screens!

    Hi,
    I installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9926) on my Surface Pro 3. I was not a part of the Windows Insider Program before that. After installation, my Surface has not worked for more than five minutes after which it restarts. During the five
    minutes the display keeps refreshing (becomes blank for like two seconds), the fan rotates at very high speeds and I am unable to do any work on it.
    My Surface has an i7 configuration.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

  • Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

    I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
    Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
    Many thanks!
    O.

    Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).

  • Is Firefox compatible with Window Surface Pro and Win Phone 8

    Is Firefox compatible with Window Surface Pro and Win Phone 8

    A user posted here the other day who is using a Surface Pro 2, with Windows 8.1, so that should work basically the way it works on a desktop or laptop.
    Windows Phone, I don't think so.

  • Acrobat XI Pro - How can I have clients sign pdf docs with stylus on my Tablet PC WITHOUT having to subscribe to signature services like EchoSign?

    I was told there was a "Setting" in XI Pro that would allow me to have clients sign pdf documents with a stylus on my Tablet PC (I have a MS Surface Pro 2), without having to sign up for EchoSign or any other electronic signature service. Is that correct? If so, what is the setup or settings?

    There are several third party plugins for Adobe Reader and Acrobat on the market, which allow to use the display of a tablet PCs as a capture device for handwritten signatures. Some of those plugins are enabling also the combination with real digital signatures without the need of any previous registration of the signatory.

  • Signing pdf dokuments with the Microsoft Surface pen. How to make the signature a non-editable part of the file?

    Hi!
    I have purchased a Microsoft Surface PRO 3. One main reason for the purchase is to sign pdf´s with the Surface-pen on the screen, save the file and avoid paper-printing the documents. Problem is however that the signature doesnt become a solid part of the document when saving it. This makes the signatures randomly not visible on some apple-produkcts, some printers etc.
    I use only a free-download-version of the Adobe reader.My question is if a pro-version allow me to save the documents with the electronic signatures as a fixed part of the document - like the rest of the pdf-content?
    Regards Trygve Wedset 

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
    Kindly refer this FAQ:http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/how-to-convert-just-part-of-a-pdf-file/

  • How to read a password protected pdf on a surface pro 2?

    Use Adobe Reader XI, the regular Adobe Reader for any Windows system.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Add watermark to digitally signed pdf?

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to add a watermark to a digitally signed pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro? I was able to do this using Acrobat 8, but Acrobat 9 restricts this change.
    Invalidating the signatures is not an issue as the watermarked copies would be considered uncontrolled.
    Thank you.

    A - if you add XMP-based metadata (which has bene the preferred method of metadata since PDF 1.4) in "append mode", that will not invalidate any signatures on the document.
    B - Yes.

  • Signing pdfs on a MS Surface 2

    What app do I need to download in order to sign pdfs on a MS Surface 2?  On my pc I use Adobe Reader XI.  The only app I can find is Adobe Reader Touch which does not seem to have a function to sign pdfs

    That means you have the Surface RT.  I think you can use EchoSign to sign with an eSignature.
