Why is my 'SIGN' panel greyed out in X1 Pro  11.0? - 'signing' IS 'allowed' in permissions...

Hi guys.  So i have been sent a PDF to sign and return by E-mail.  The problem is, the 'sign' panel is 'greyed' out, so i am unable to.
I checked permissions and signing is 'allowed' for this document. 
Must i enable additional features?
[There is no red arrow at the signature line.]
I have a scanned signature ready to go on my PC.
All the help videos on this subject are for earlier versions, that have different menus, so they are of little help.
Even if you don't know what the problem is, if i knew how to 'enable additional features' that would be a start.
Thanks,

I know mostly digital (PKI-certificate-based) signatures. I cannot expertly advise on other signature types. It is possible that the form that you had, had an expiration date on it (was Reader-extended with a certificate that expired after a certain date). That might explain why your co-worker was able to sign and you weren't, if you got the unsigned copy from her and not from the same source where she got it. If you got not the same copy but from the same source, you may have gotten a copy with the signing already disabled. The other possibility is that the form might execute comminications with the author's server to get authorization to sign and that authorzation failed. There are many ways a form can be constructed that cause this behaviour. Since you know that the document's author disabled signing the question is now moot and I do not see why we should speculate on a possible reason.

  • Why is "edit in Audition" greyed out in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

    Since the CC 2014 launch, the option in in Premiere Pro and After Effects to "edit in Audition" is greyed out. Right-clicking a clip in Premiere Pro doesn't have an option for Audition. I cannot send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted an Adobe Support personnel earlier this evening. They suggested to go into my Mac's System Preferences and enable a root user, log out of my account, log into the root user, shut down and boot up into safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. It is still greyed out, in both user accounts.
    Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled Audition. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Again, never had this issue before.
    I'd appreciate any assistance!
    Thank you!
    Cheers,

    I may have an answer for you, but not sure if my resolution will work for Macs.
    First, here's my system and initial info. I'm using a work computer, operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 about a week ago, and I also uninstalled the previous versions of all my Creative Cloud programs after installing the new versions (CC 2014 doesn't just update the previous version, it installs a new program and doesn't automatically uninstall the previous CC programs). Not sure if the uninstall is necessary, for this resolution to work.
    Anyway, after I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Audition CC 2014, the Edit Clip in Adobe Audition command was available from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, but was disabled in the right-click menu for the sequence (for the right-click menu, it was visible, but greyed out and disabled). When I tried to use the command from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, it gave me a dialog box to fill out and it created a new folder (titled "Adobe Audition Interchange"). So, the command, when selected from the "Edit menu" obviously uses a different process than the command from the right-click menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new folder created or to fill out a dialog box, I just wanted it to behave like it used to. Basically, when I right-click the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition from the right-click menu, it just opens Audition and the audio waveform is visible.
    I was able to resolve this and get the right-click command working by reading a couple of articles on this same issue from Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and using those to figure out how to fix this in Adobe CC 2014.
    Here's what I did:
    I had to locate my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same location as they were for the previous version of CC (at least, they weren't for me). I had to use the Search command and look for .sesx extensions to locate them.
    Found them under the path C:>Users>Public>Public Documents>Adobe>Audition>7.0>Session Templates. Note that (for me), there was a folder titled 6.0 on the same level as the 7.0 folder. I selected the 7.0 folder as that folder contained the most recent set of .sesx files. I checked the 6.0 folder and those were the .sesx files from the previous version, so I deleted that folder just as a clean-up step.
    I right-clicked on one of the .sesx files in the Session Templates folder and then selected Open with from the right-click menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
    I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 from the list of programs (you may have to browse to find it) and then selected Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. I then clicked OK to submit the configuration command and close the Open with dialog box.
    I restarted Premiere Pro CC 2014 and the Edit Clip In Adobe Audition command was now enabled on the right-click menu and was working properly.
    I wept with joy..... OK, not really, but I'm always irritated at ridiculous regression errors and a lack of thorough testing of new software versions, so I am happy to resolve frustrating issues.
    Don't know if this will help you, or if you already resolved your issue. Either way, good luck!

  • Why is the layers panel greyed out when I try to use PSE9 as my external editor?

    Recently, when I try to use Photoshop Elements 9 as my external editor in Aperture 2.1.4 the layers menu is greed out and the layers panel won't allow me to create layers.

    Hello,
    All outputs from the SCXI module are measured in differential mode. You can still mix differential and single ended measurements (if you use the remaining channels of your daq board).
    The easiest way to mix modes is with virtual channels. All SCXI analog input channels will be differential, while you can make other virtual channels differential or single ended. If you don't want to use virtual channels, you can use AI Hardware Config in LabVIEW to change the mode.
    Hope this helps. Regards,

  • HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

    Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
    I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
    It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
    This solved the problem:
    1. Log into appleid.apple.com
    2. Set the language.
    The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.

  • Using the Android Reader app, why is the signature option greyed out?

    I have a client that has enlisted me to create 3 fillable PDF forms. I used FormsCentral to create these fillable forms, then I saved them as PDFs to my Dropbox. I opened the Adobe Reader app on my Tablet, and access the forms. As for the client, they are home builders, and these 3 forms are 3 different stages of the building process. They are using them to interact with the new homeowner. They want to do this on Samsung Note 10.1 tablets with Verizon data. There are 3 issues I am faced with fixing:
    1. The signing process is quite a process. Meaning too many clicks to setup and apply a digital signature according to the customer. And that is on a PC, because I am unable to use the "signature" function - the button is greyed out. Why is that?
    2. Once we resolve the above issue, then will there be a way to "lock" the form so that the customer's responses and selections are unchangeable? If so, how?
    3. Once the form is signed and "locked" (if possible), what is the simplest way to send the form via e-mail? I ask because they want there to be a way to setup the form to e-mail copies to the addresses that are entered into an e-mail field on the form. Sort of "auto-populate" the addresses as well as be able to set a predetermined address (back to their office) so that the results may be sent via mobile instantly upon completion.
    I know that is a lot to ask. Your help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks in advance, Rob

    (1) Why is the Signature button greyed out (disabled)?
    You used FormsCentral to create fillable forms and exported to PDF.  When exporting FormsCentral forms to PDF forms, FormsCentral adds "extended rights" to PDF forms so that users can fill out the PDF forms in Adobe Reader (which is a PDF viewer, not a PDF editor).
    The current version (11.5.0) of Adobe Reader for Android does not allow signatures to be added to any "Reader Extended" PDF documents (including forms).  We are actively investigating and trying to resolve the problem.
    (2) Is there a way to "lock" a PDF form?
    You can "flatten" a PDF form after the form has been filled out and signed by a customer.  Once flattened, it's not possible to change filled data or signatures.  When you try to email a filled PDF form (optionally with a signature), Adobe Reader for iOS will present the E-mail Document dialog with two options: "Send Original Document" and "Send Flattened Copy".  You can choose the "Send Flattened Copy" option.
    Unfortunately, the feature has not been supported in Adobe Reader for Android yet.
    (3) What is the easiest way to send a "flattened" copy via email?
    Because the issues 1 & 2 above have not been resolved, you are not able to do this in Adobe Reader for Android.  However, you can do this in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    First, you need to add a Submit button to your PDF form.  I am not sure if you can do this in FormsCentral.  But you can use Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) to add a Submit button.
    Setting action buttons > Add a submit button
    When your customer taps the Submit button in the PDF form, Adobe Reader (for iOS - for now) will present thee same E-mail Document dialog.  Once the "Send Flattened Copy" option is selected, Reader will launch the default Mail app and auto-populate email address(es) specified for the Submit button action.
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

    How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes  library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
    I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

    thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
    i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs  did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

  • Why is EXPORT to Quicktime "greyed" out? GB3?

    Wondering why export to quicktime is greyed out.
    In addition, is there anyway to export tracks individually?
    Thank you!

    FWIW, I know the work around, export to iTUNES, drag to desktop (if preferences are set up right, in iTUNES) it will be a AIFF file.
    Just want to know why quicktime is greyed out unless of course it needs video or images in order to work as export to quicktime!

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

  • Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

    Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

    I have an update to my issue above, with a Semi-solution found. I brought my Macbook Air back to the Genus bar today and they were able to identify (using “Activity Monitor”) that when the particular iPhoto library was being launched through iPhoto both Photostream and iPhoto's CPU% usage was excessively high (between 100% - 200% each). She discovered that if we turn off Photostream in iCloud settings iPhoto then behaved fast and snappy and CPU% came back down to a healthier level. When we turned Photostream back on the problem continued. After an hour of trying to trouble shoot why Photostream was causing the issue they recommended I keep Photostream turned off until a future software update/fix comes out. The particular Genus I worked with was not familiar with this issue. I’m very happy to at least be able to use iPhoto again, but if anyone has ideas or theories on how the Photostream conflict can be fixed please share. Thanks.

  • Why is the column browser greyed out when viewing iPod music?

    Hello,
    I can not display the "column browser" for my iPod Touch, like I can for my iTunes Music Library (iTunes for Windows)
    To confirm we're on the same page: the column browser is the specific display/view with "Artists" and "Albums" filters (and optionally 'Genres" , "Composers" and a few other not-so-useful options) in Columns at the top of the screen: selecting different combinations allows you to easily filter the "results" panel below, which displays all the individual songs that match those filters.
    I have seen other questions on how to display the column browser, which relate more to the iTunes Library Music, opposed to the iPod touch music. (FYI the fix for the Library is to click "songs" and then the option for column browsing is available in "View/Column Browser/Show Column Browser")
    If i display the sidebar, and select 'Music' under my iPod Touch, it just displays ALL songs. The option for "show column browser" is greyed out and not selectable. If i hige the sidebar, and click "Music" in the top left column under the name of my iPod, i get the same view. If i click "Music" from the big centered bar at the top of iTunes (but below the standard File/Edit menubar) this just shows my Sync options...
    So question is: How do I display the column browser for my iPod music?
    If i can't, question is: Why did you hide this feature and can you please bring it back?
    And a general comment: Please let the brilliant Jony Ive loose on the iTunes design ASAP: it desperately needs a designer's eye to make this interface more intuitive. There are about 5 incongruous button/menu themes utilised at different places, and none of them are particularly well thought out. I'm a student of the school of thought where you can (if needed) utilise a few different interface design styles on one application to suit different users and different scenarious: but they need a talented designer to harmonise. The current iTunes is like years of changes piled on top of each other with no clear direction. Not an enjoyable experience!

  • Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

    I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
    Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
    I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
    So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
    Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
    Many thanks in advance

    If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions.  Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.
