digitally sign the form

I followed the instructions to digitally sign a form with Acrobat X.  However, when I get to the step in the process is an open box to search my digital signature file, the only options that Acrobat gives me include not all PDFs.  Instead, the box that opens will allow only the digital ID (*.p12, *.pfx) files.  Given that my Epson scanner will not make these types of files, only TIFF or jpg or PDF.  If I could get Acrobat to give me more options, my chances of success would be greatly increased.



Thank you!

Hi Rick Villa,

You will be able to get this option in the signature preferences. Please see this KB document Adobe Acrobat X Pro * implementation of signature

I hope this will solve your problem.

In case if you encounter a problem, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

Kind regards

  • Attach a file after having signed the form

    Hello

    In my form there are two signatures. By signing the first signature field is all of the above areas it oneself. Then I have the attchments sections below, it is the second signature field. But if I sign the first signature field does not have the attachment (import data object). I know that it is clearly manipulation with pdf file after the form is signed. I handled the exception and he said: ' not allowed error: security settings prevent access to this property or method ". But stil, l there is no work around through which I can reach this requirement of the company? Help, please!

    Hello

    I did this as well and I couldn't find a solution. Once that form is signed the process of attaching a file seems to be considered too much of a change.

    For a form we have dropped digital signatures and went with a less secure/robust method to indicate that a section was signed, just so that we can maintain the ability to attach files during the process of the form.

    I'm afraid it's one or the other - digital signature or attach files.

    Good luck

  • Adobe Reader does not allow signing the form?

    I created a form with Adobe LiveCycle Designer with a number of fields of digital signature. When the form opens with Adobe Reader, it does not allow for signatures to be completed it shows an error message «to avoid the security settings on the document, adding text and/or by placing a signature on it since Adobe Reader»

    What did I do wrong?

    You probably just drive - activate the form. You can do this with Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • Attach external files to signed pdf forms.

    I work for the Department of the army and get pdf forms to be completed directly with the direction of army publication. I have contacted about this problem and I was told it is a restriction in the Adobe software and they can't solve it.

    The army uses evaluation forms to be signed to vmultiple times throughout the year, both by employees and supervisors. The process is the following:

    The Spiderbeam of the rating period, the employee receives the assessment form and is required to sign digitally to document its acceptance of the requirements of the job for the coming year. At the end of the year, it is necessary to attach an external file indicating their achievements throughout the past year and then digitally sign the form. The supervisor then adds his digital signature to the bottom of the form. The problem is, once the initial employee digitally form, he or she can join is no longer external files. Therefore, the files are routed separate from the signed form and there is nothing that links the two together even if the employee and the supervisor are both certifying that what is on the attachment is specific when they sign the pdf form. It's a problem because the attachment can be altered.

    If it is not a solution at this time, I ask Adobe Acrobat to consider this type of scenario when they write patches/fixes for the software and/or by creating the next version.

    Sincerely,

    Hi donnac51709058,

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused, however this is a limitation. Than to join the files changes the structure of the PDF file that will not be allowed once the PDF file is signed.

    I will surely take note of this issue.

  • Confused as to why I fill out and sign some documents of player and other times I can only sign the documents.  Why is this?

    Confused as to why I fill out and sign some documents of player and other times I can only sign the documents.  Why is this?

    Hi sapconman2812,

    It depends on the documents. If the document is configured to enter data, then you will need to use fill & sign tool to complete the form and sign it.

    If its only out in the signature, then you will get only the option to sign the form.

    Kind regards

  • How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Help, please! Thank you!

    How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Here's a sample:

    _ Digital Signature___ (signs), Date (Auto-remplit)

    Under field properties of the signature on the signature tab, you can use a custom script, like this:

    this.getField("Date").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

    You know, however, that a digital signature always displays the date and time, it has been applied?

    Hi - I've never asked a question here - forgive me if I am doing it wrong. I am trying to add a digital signature field in Acrobat DC, so it can be signed to the reader by someone other than me. (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!) Help please!

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

  • Digitally sign is gray in CD player unless the document has been saved with Reader Extended PDF - option activate more tools in Acrobat. Is the feature to sign without options Reader Extended broken or has it been removed?

    If we just save a PDF document, users with CD Player cannot sign because the option "digitally sign" in the upper part of the certificates bar is grayed out. According to other information that I read, the ability to sign with earlier versions of the player requires the PDF file to be registered as a Reader Extended PDF with the option enable the tools more. If I save the document in this way, our DC users can sign it. We took the latest version (2015.008.20082). This feature - the ability to fill/sign a regular document (no Reader Extended PDF) - has been removed in later versions, or is it a bug that was not shown or even fixed?

    You can use fill & sign on documents without the form fields.
