Digital signature field-how to disable until all required fields are valid?

I have a document with several required fields, but the user can sign the form without worrying if these fields are valid. Is an option in LiveCycle to control this, IE invalid Signature field until all required fields are true? I think that this could include additional JavaScript. However, I would like to get some advice from others with more expertise.

Thank you
Andy

Hi Andy,.

Here's a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=rm5V4y7ANBcmZTsrcXxp1w

It uses two functions execValidate(), which validates the form and returns true, the form is valid and false if there are errors. PreSign event has access to the cancelAction property, so if there are errors, the cancelAction is set to true.

I also used the new form Validation features in LC Designer ES2 to combine error messages.

Good luck

  • Acrobat Pro DC - failed to create the digital signature field

    Hello:

    I use a trial version of Acrobat Pro DC and PREPARATION of a form to an existing PDF document. I can't find a way to create a digital signature field that can be "click (to sign).

    Note: The existing .pdf has a digital signature field works but when I click on 'Prepare the form' and select this shape, it blocks every time Adobe Acrobat Pro. I must change the .pdf first, delete the existing digital signature field, save the .pdf, then on 'Prepare the form' and select it with the required signature checked.

    I read several articles in the knowledge base and tutorials that refer to an icon in the toolbar of the digital signature, but I have not this icon can be selected. That's what I see:

    When I select the available signature icon (envelope with x) this simply creates a text field, that when the document is opened in Adobe Reader, this field disappears when you click it.

    I tried with Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 7 as well as currently on Mac OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The problem is that you have selected the signing required check box. When you do this, it limits you to a form that is compatible with Adobe sign, which allows no digital signature fields. What you can do is to click on the more button in the right panel and select "Back to the form of Acrobat" and you will be able to add digital signature fields.

  • Digital signature field

    I can't find the Digital Signature field in MS.

    I have created a form for a client who wants to capture a Digital Signature.

    In the form toolbar prepare there is 'Add a Signature' and 'add a signature block '. I have used these and define the field as "signature", but when I open the form in Reader, the field accepts just plain text. I used before digital signature field and it always comes with the red marker on the ground.

    This option is no longer in DC, or am I missing something?

    Thank you

    What you have done is created a form that is compatible with the services of E-sign of Adobe (Adobe sign, electronic signaturesonline, formerly EchoSign |) Adobe Document Cloud ), which is quite different and incompatible with digital signatures. In form editing mode, select the button "More" and select "Return to Acrobat Form". You will then be able to add a digital signature field.

(A digital step type that DC will draw to you or allow you to draw yourself.) I can do the fields but they do not work. The signature fields used to have little flags in the corner of the box that indicates that they were ready to be signed. My steps consist of:

    Select Tools - prepare forms. I click on the "this document requires signature. Automatic detection is on.

    Next, I check the automatically created fields. I tried to just change the properties of the signature signature box and I also tried drawing signature block or a right signature (not sure what the difference is) , I noticed that under "More" there «return it to the form acrobat.» When I do I get the message that "Acrobat will now NEA Acroform - click ok to continue"-I made and save - can I save again with the new name of 'Save as another' to activate the form. So I check the form in Reader, but it does not work! What I am doing wrong? I used to be able to do that!  I tried other ways, but DC wants me to a digital signature for me (I already have one!)

    In Acrobat, you can add a signature field to the form:

  • Language different from the digital signature field

    Hi all

    We use Acrobat 8.1.2 STD and PRO (depending on the user) in our company for the signing of the documents with a digital signature.


    Currently I use the German version of Acrobat, and the rest of the description of a digital signature even with switching to English in the field settings 'International' in German. It is not useful since the language of the English ist society.

    However, most of our users prefer to work with their version of the mother tongue.

    Question: How can I change the language of the information in the field of the signature digital in the various Acrobat software languages such as those of our French colleagues, Spanish and German to English by default?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Matthias,

    Cannot change the data encoded in a digital ID. You will need to get a new digital ID before signing if you wanted information signatories to be different. However, if you ask about what the certificate view display, much of this depends on the language of the copy of Acrobat/Reader. For example, most of what you see in the details tab depends on the version of Acrobat. The only thing that would not be strings that are part of the certificate, such as the common name.

  • Removal of signatures in a digital signature field

    Hi all, I have a question about the above topic that I hope
    you guys can help me

    (1) is it possible to remove the digital signatures of the form? For example
    If you have a form go through several stages of approval requiring
    signatures and then a step that happened to reject, it would be good to
    remove the previous signatures so that they can be signed again.

    (2) and finally is there a simpler way to combine digital signatures
    and the management of rights, then what appeared in the pdf document provided by
    Duane (second post from the bottom of the thread)? When creating a policy, there is

    a checkbox for "filling in form fields and signing." This forsomething's else?

    Thank you!
    Billy

    (1) is it possible to remove the digital signatures of the form?

    ANSWER: A signature can not be removed ("unsigned") if the system or the user has access to the "private" key used to generate the signature in the first place.  For example, let's say that signs of the user has a PDF file... Only the user can unsign this PDF.  If you were to use LC Digital Signatures ARE to "unsign" a PDF file, you will need to have all the 'Powers' potential user and passwords of credentials stored in the store of approvals for LC would have access to private keys to unsign a signature field.  It's not very feasible if the number of potential signatories.

    (2) at - it a simpler way to combine the rights management and digital signatures

    ANSWER: The combination digital signatures and rights management is not complicated.  You just need to be aware of the "order of operations" required.  Always 'Encrypt' everything first (rights Mgt, certificates and password can be used for encryption) "Certify" (assuming you certify the PDF), then add rights of Extension of the detector (assuming you want to extend the functionality of the document for the reader)

    The reason why the above order is necessary...  When you sign a document, a hash is generated according to the document, if you then encrypt the signed document, you change the document, which in turn a different hash to be generated... This breaks the signature.

    With regard to the "filling of form fields and signing" policy option, it's a 'permission' that you can enable or disable PDF forms with a strategy applied by RM for example, A PDF has a policy applied where the user has 'filling in form fields and signing' andf enabled permission, user B does not work.  A user can open the screen and interact with him by filling and or sign the form.  User B would be able to 'see' the form.  This permission is relevant only with RM in order to protect the PDF Forms.  Also, it should not be confused with the permission of Reader Extensions to allow Digital Signatures in Reader.

    For example, if you wanted a form of 'Certified' must be filled out and signed by the user with Adobe Reader, you will need to:

    Apply a policy to the PDF document where the user has been "filling in form fields and signing" permission enabled, then apply a signature to "Certify" who had permission from "Allow complete and sign form" enabled, then drive to extend the PDF form that allows the authorization of "Digital Signatures" that activates the functionality of Digfital Signatures in the drive for this particular form.

    It may seem complicated, but it's really not

  • Adding JS to Digital Signature fields programmatically

    Hello, I have a JavaScript that fills my adobe with 3 document signature fields and 3 fields of date in one place, then, the same code put JS in the tab calculate date as required fields.  What I can't seem to know is how to fill the signature with the JS I need for them to have as well.

    Below is the code for the custom action I created:

    First, acquire the box of culture for the Page #1

    var aCropRect = this.getPageBox("Crop",0);

    rectFld [1] = aCropRect + 520 [3];  The upper side is 520pts over background

    rectFld [2] = nRight-50; Right side is 50pts to the right of the right

    this.getField("DATE_3").setAction ("Calculate", ccalc);

    Here are the things I need in the fields of signature respectively...

    If (! this.getField(\'Signature1\').value) (this.getField(\'DATE_1\').value) =------"------" (this.getField(\'DATE_1\').value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date()));

    If (! this.getField(\'Signature2\').value) (this.getField(\'DATE_2\').value) =------"------" (this.getField(\'DATE_2\').value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date()));

    If (! this.getField(\'Signature3\').value) (this.getField(\'DATE_3\').value) =------"------" (this.getField(\'DATE_3\').value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date()));

    I guess it starts like that, but don't have any idea...

    var s = this.getField ("Signature1");

    s.setAction ("Format",

    If I understand you, work with your two fields Signature1 DATE_1, you want to program an automatic in the field of DATE_1 date, when a digital signature is placed in the field Signature1  Similarly, you want DATE_1 empty if there is no digital signature.

    Under your code to add the Signature1 field, add the following two lines of code:

    var s = "if (!)". "this.getField(\"Signature1\").value) this.getField(\"DATE_1\").value = \"\";\relse this.getField(\"DATE_1\").value = util.printd (\"mm/dd/yyyy\ ', Date() ") new;";

    oFld.setAction ("MouseUp", s);

    Translated, if there is no content Signature1 (begin to sign but decide to hit cancel them), the area of the DATE_1 remains empty, but if the signature is placed, the DATE_1 field updates to reflect the current date.  (Variable s contains two lines of code)

    DATE_1 your code seems to work fine when it is used with the above lines.  If the signature field is removed, the field DATE_1 will erase the previous date that was displayed.

    You can create a new one by following these steps in Acrobat Reader ms.

  • Check that the two signature fields are signed

    I want a subform to open only after the signature field is signed. I can't make it work. Here is my script:

     Form1.Subform18.Gate1CustSupApproval::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
    var oState = event.target.getField("Form1.Subform18.Gate1TeamLeaderApproval").signatureValidate();// && event.target.getField("Subform18.Gate1CustSupApproval").signatureValidate(); 
    if (oState != 0){
     Gate2.presence = "visible";
    }
    else
    {
     xfa.host.messageBox("You have not signed the form. \n\nPlease press OK to return to the form and then click the signature field to sign the form. \n\nThank you!", "Error submitting this form", 0, 0); 
    }
    

    It is not a good practice to hide content on a document when users apply a digital signature, are unwilling to sign a document that has a hidden content.

    If you don't want users to fill out certain fields in the subform, and then you can add validation checks in the event preSign of each signature field to ensure that - if the validation fails then cancel the signing operation.
