Error signature pdf document

Hello

I have a problem,

When I try to sign a small form with Adobe Reader X I get this error:

Unable to create this signature .

unknown error
Support information : CDSHandler -658

If I create a certificate signed automatically, that I have no problem.

I can't find more info in this forum.

Any clue?

Thank you.

Hi garsan9785,

Thanks for the pointer to the electronic certificate from Comodo, it provided the path to the problem. First of all, it's a bug in Acrobat, and no, I don't know when the fix will be released. The good news is that there is a work around.

The reason that the signature does not get created is that when Acrobat is trying to create the appearance of the signature, it seeks the common name entry in the extension of the object on the left side of the field in the form of signature. With this certificate, because there is no common name entry in the extension of the object (there is only an email address) Acrobat gets triggered upward and abandons the signature process. Until this problem is solved here is the workaround:

  • Select it Edit > Preferences Menu item
  • Select Security in the Categories list box
  • Click the new button in the appearance group box
  • Type without a name in the title edit field
  • Deselect the name checkbox in the group box set
  • Click OK in the configure Signature appearance dialog
  • Click the OK button in the Preferences dialog box

The next time that you connect to a PDF file and access the dialog box to sign the Document select "No Name" in the menu drop-down appearance and you will be able to complete the signing process.
