When signing a document with Acrobat X...

How do I get rid of the "Standard Text" option on the Appearance drop down menu?
I just want to have 1 (one, uno, ein) signature in the drop down menu.
I have searched thousands of entries and still I'm unable to ELIMINATE the standard text that seems to come back every time I open the program!!!!!
Help me , please.......

"Standard Text" is the default appearance that Acrobat uses; it is not shown in the list of custom appearances but it is always available in the "Sign" dialog. When the "Sign"dialog is launched, it always shows the appearance that was used when the last signature was signed. Once a signature is created, its appearance becomes a part of the signature and cannot be changed.
When you click on the "Appearance" field in the "Sign" dialog you get the drop-down list with all your appearances (including the "Standard Text"). You can select the one you want (e.g. your appearance) and it will be used for this signature. The next time you "Sign" the "Appearance" filed will show you the name of the appearance (your appearance) which you used in the previous signing.

  • Avoid Save As dialog when Signing a document in Acrobat?

    I'm working on a web application that allows users to download a PDF, sign it, and then upload it back to the server. I'm trying to minimize the number of steps required of the user, so I would like to by-pass the Save As dialog that is presented when a user signs a document in Acrobat.  Is there a way to do this?
    Basically, I would like the signed document to be saved *automatically* in one of the following ways:
    1. Automatically overwrite the original document
    2. Save to the same location as the original document, but with a different name (e.g., [original_name]_Signed.pdf)
    3. Save to a subdirectory of the original document's location (e.g., in a "Signed" folder)
    Is this possible using JavaScript or a custom plug-in? Or in a simpler way?

    Okay, let's say I chose to do an HTTP POST of the signed PDF content from the Acrobat browser plug-in to the server -- how would I accomplish that?  Would it require JavaScript in the PDF to make it happen?  Or is there a way to instruct the Acrobat browser plug-in to do it without any custom coding?
    Thanks for your replies, Irosenth.

  • Asking for password when signing a document

    In Acrobat 9 standard, when signing a document with a Windows Digital Signature, how do you set it to ask for a password?

    The product acts for a password when it can't identify and verify the signer is supposed to have access to the signing certificate's private key. You can't control what happens on the signer's end in all cases. If you want to set restrictions on specific fields, look up "seed values" in the Dig Sig Guide.

    Hi higi97,
    How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
    You may try to follow the steps below:
    1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
    2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    3.Delete the opm.db file.
    4.Launch Creative Cloud.
    Let us know if that helps,

  • Signing and saving with Acrobat 9

    I have recently upgraded to Acrboat 9 from Acrobat 6.
    One of the features of Acrobat 6 was that when I open an PDF through Acrobat on my file management software, it would open the PDF, and I could place a signature field, and sign the document with a Digital ID and it would save over the PDF in my file management software.
    However, with Acrobat 9. When I go to save the document, it asks me to "Save As" and resave the document. With our file management software, the document opened through the software has a temporary file created in a hidden folder which is then resaved after editing. After resaving the PDF I have to reimport the PDF back to our file management software.
    I understand that Adobe has changed this to allow for more safety and security, but is there a way to make it resave to the same opened document each time?

  • Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

    When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first.   Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
    Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf.   They fill it in and sign it.  The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf.   I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

    AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

  • I need to digital sign a document using Acrobat Reader. Is it possibile?

    I am an IT Manager for a little city in northern italy.
    I have almost 50 clients with smart cards enabled for what concerns digital signage.
    I use flawlessy the software of the firm who provides the smart card. (infocamere.it).
    This uses sha256 crypt, no problems about it.
    The problem I have is:
    The final file is a "p7m" envelope.
    I would prefer to use a "pdf" envelope. One only file.
    I tried to follow this video
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-with-adobe-reader/
    Simply it doesn't work.
    I have also a couple of Acrobat Standard.
    I can "pdf-sign" with Acrobat Standard 9.
    I am not able to do the same with reader 9 or X.
    There is a way to do it?
    Thank You.

    You can sign a PDF using Adobe Reader 9 or X, but the document must be "Reader Extended" to enable this functionality, This can be done using ADEP\LiveCycle Reader Extensions (server product) or Acrobat Professional 9 (Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader) or Acrobat X Professional (File > Save As > Reader extended PDF)
    For some more info...  http://www.adobe.com/eeurope/products/server/readerextensions/  or http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/Overview/WS92d06802c76abadb2c8525912dd cb9aad9-7ffa.html

  • Can I certify a document with Acrobat Reader ?

    Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to certify a document with Acrobat Reader. The sign toolbar button "Certify" in Reader is always disabled even if the document has not been signed. Thanks in advance.

    I just tried it.   Even saved a document with Reader Extended PDF and a signature field (which you can only do with Acrobat).  I opened in Reader but could not certify it (although I could digitally sign in).  I can certify in Acrobat.
    It's possible you can certify a Portfolio (container for PDF docs) using Reader.  However, right now that's not working with the current version of Acrobat or Reader.  (Adobe engineering is working on that - see my recent posting).
    It's also possible that the bug with certifying/signing Portfolios is also preventing other actions from happening.  I don't know.

  • Recieving error when signing a document

    When signing a document, users are receiving >>Timestamp signature property generation error: Unsupported transport protocol
    Time Stamp Server is configued as Server URL:  IP Address of Time Server
    Any ideas on how to resolve this error?

    Hi,
    The problem is probably the URL for the timestamp server is an SSL address (i.e. https://) and the certificate that the OS needs to validate the SSL connection is not available. One thing to try is to copy the address for the timestamp server and paste it into a browser. This may give you the option of installing the SSL certificate.

    Hey Jamie0404,
    Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader are you using. Is it the latest on i.e. 11.0.10?
    Have you tried repairing Reader?
    Are you using Reader on an iOS or a desktop?

    Hi Amitk,
    PDF is a commercial software which is not supported in MSDN forum. Maybe some forum talk about PDF is a better place to ask this question.
    I make a quick research on the web, and you may need to use some third party to sign a PDF document through DSC. Check this :

  • Acrobat Crashes when signing a document

    I have Acrobat 8.1.7 professional and all of a sudden I am unable to digitally sign documents. When I attempt to sign a document, the "sign document" dialog box opens, freezes and the acrobat closes down. Can someone assist me with this issue? Windows XP SP3.

    The only  plug-ins installed are the default ones that came installed with Acrobat.  All of these are developed by Adobe, so i'm assuming your are not referring to these as "3rd party".  All custom plug-ins have been uninstalled with the exception of the Stamper sample to test this theory.  Quite literally this can be reproduced by adding  the following code to the "ToolActivate" method in StamperUI.cpp.  This is the method that is wired into both the MenuItem and Button click events by default in this sample.  When this code is executed by a MenuItem event, no issue at all.  When this code is executed by a button click event, an exception is thrown from Acrobat.exe.  Note that the exception is not thrown from the ToolActivate method, it is thrown at some point after this method completes.
    AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
    if (avDoc != NULL)
    AVDocClose(avDoc, true);
    As you can see, no objects are being acquired in this code.  If AVDocClose is not executed, no issues at all.  Although that goes against what i am attempting to do (as a result of a Button click, i need to be able to close the AVDoc).
    Any thoughts as to root cause of this issue?
    Karl, i really appriciate your assistance!  Thanks.
