Hide signature field
Hello
I work for an application that signs a document and sends it to a remote user via a secure channel.
Users are complaining that they are unable to see the text or the images because they are masked by the signature. I would like to know if there is a way to hide the signature, so that the user can print or read the document unhindered.
So far, I only found a way to remove signature (not a valid option for our application). Repositioning of the signature using the programming interface is not viable, because we have no way of knowing what we have in the original document. Repositioning of the signature when the signature is also not possible, because we often originally an already signed.
I hope that I have my question clearly. Thank you very much
Hi Ishmael,
You as the author of the document can create a field that can be signed, but do not print, but if you allow the user to enter a signature on the fly field then the field is printed. It is up to you as the author of the document to create the file the way you want it to look, and if abdicate you this responsibility then you may have what is the recipient of the document.
It is possible to add a digital signature field that does not print. You control this from the following Digital Signature Properties dialog box.

Using signature field properties
I'm trying some parameters to check required fields before signing a document of script. I'm fine with the validation part but I need help on the understanding of the properties of the signature field.
I think the focus event to trigger the validation, but I do want to trigger if the user tries to remove his signature. so I need to check if the field is UNsigned
By reading the SDK, I think that the status of the SignatureInfo object property is what I'm looking for. I need help to understand how it works and maybe a simple as example:
If (signatureInfo.status == 0) {}
function to validate;
}
Since the signature field does not calculate event, I put the script in the event of a field of invisible text calculate is close.
Rather than use the status property of the signatureInfo() object, I stuck with the basics:
If (this.getField("signaturefield").value is {this.getField("signaturefield").defaultValue})
do things;
}
Address the problem that I had, I created a button to trigger the validation script, and after a successful validation, this button is hidden and replaced with the signature field.
the calculation script I have looking for the value of the signature field, if defaultValue (empty), it hides the signature field and back button.

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.

How do to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing of signature field when creating a secure pdf document?
You must allow commenting as well. Reader users will be able to add attachments as comments. You can also use JavaScript with Player 11 and DC to automate the process somewhat.
If you need users of Reader in order to add attachments as Acrobat can, you need to add the right of use of file attachments, but you can't do that with Acrobat.

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.

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
Brian
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.

Hi, anyway is to hide a field label.
I have a combo with a variety of types of numbers (license, health and security # etc.) I have an empty field next to the drop-down list.
Type of number no matter what you choose, a label appears next to the empty field, indicating the choices you make.
So in the box to the far right, the text authorization number should appear.
Ok. You can use a validation script custom in the 2nd drop-down list that looks like the following:
Script to Validate drop-down list
(function () {}
Get a reference to the label field
var f = getField ("LABEL1");
Show/hide the label based on the drop-down list selection
f.Display = event.value = "click to see the options"? Display.Hidden: display.visible;
})();
but replace "Label1" with the actual name of the field that you are using for the text of the label.
This last line is equivalent to the following:
If (event.value = 'Click to see the options') {}
f.Display = display.hidden;
} else {}
f.Display = display.visible;
}
All this could be simplified to the following single statement:
getField("LABEL1").display = event.value = "click to see the options"? Display.Hidden: display.visible;
It is better if you select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' option to the drop down list. For the field, it set read-only and set the default value for the text of the label.

I'm trying to use the API to get the signature of all the users of the system fields. I can see this information in the web browser if I go to settings-> user management-> and selecting the user.
I would like to know if there is a way to get the information General information (Signature fields) using the API.
Thank you!
Hi Sai,
The REST API exposes the user records (see the following document); However, signature fields are not included. We need to work on this addition to the API (in a later version), but the option is currently not available.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information.
Thank you

Add the signature field to the second occurrence of two words (nieme Word) on the page
I have a script that searches for two words ("APP ENG") on a page and adds a digital signature field.The trick is that there are two occurrences of these words and place the script in the field of digital signature on the first ocurrance of the two words.
I need the digital signature script to add to the second occurrence of these two words.There was a counter added the script, but this place then the field on the word ("ENG"), it might have to do with the meter to count one word instead of two.
If someone can help me to modify the script to count the words and the occurrences of two words instead of one word it would be most appreciated.Script as follows:
var ckWords; pair of words to testvar number = 0;
numWords = this.getPageNumWords (0); number of words on the page
loop through the words on the page
for (var j = 0; j < numWords-1; j ++) {}
get the pair of words to test
ckWords = this.getPageNthWord (0, j) + ' ' + this.getPageNthWord (0, j + 1); test words
If (ckWords == "ENG APP") {}
Count += 1;
If (count == 2) {}
var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads (0, j);
convert quads in the rotation by default user space
Userspace used by links
m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,0);
mInv = m.invert)
r = mInv.transform (q)
r = r.ToString)
r = r.split(",");
var m = this.addField ("EngSignature", "signature", 0,
([r [0], [1] r, r [2], r [5]]) ;
}
}
}
Thank you.
You must use the left coordinates of the first table and the right of the second table.

Hide a field of empty web application
Is it possible to hide a field of web application if there is no data, WITHOUT resorting to the tables?
This is where you would use operators liquid markup logic:

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:

I'm looking for a framework for EchoSign where the document is opened and the cursor will be in the signature field.

Hello
By default, once the signing opens the document, he must click on the Start button that will point to the next field. If there is only a Signature field, it will point to that only.

How can I send a PDF (contract) with electronic signature fields to a client which sends the document to its legal service for execution? The last time that I sent him one he simply passed on to its legal group but it infiltrates automated email (text pending signature) even after its Legal Department has run.
Hey bje59649739,
Please check that no signature field is empty in the document to be signed.
You can send the document yet keep identification of the signer's email (under: label) for the Legal Department to get the completely signed document.
Let me know if this helps.
Kind regards

I'm new to the Adobe service and I have 5 documents I send to every email. Two of the docs require signatures, but the others although important, don't require signature. I want to send all documents in an email, but it seems that the platform sees all 5 documents into a single document requiring a signature that ends by appearing at the top of the last page (ends up being a document that does not require a signature). Everything works well except the signature field that the platform assigns to the document. Is it possible to change this? Have the final signature field appears at the bottom of the second page of the document?
Hello
In this scenario, you can manually place the signature fields in the first two pages.
When you do not place the signature manually fields, system automatically places a signature filed on the last page of the document.
Please make sure that you place the signature field manually, so that the system won't automatically place the field.
-Go to the send page
-Select overview, positioning the signatures or add form fields
-Click next to add the signature fields
Kind regards

Hide the field to the page output?
Hello
Is there a code to hide a field when you leave a page in Acrobat format?
I have a button that displays a field when the field is clicked it closes. But if the user does not click on it and let the page remains open. For example, I'm on page 6 document, and click on the button to display the field. Then I moved to page 7 and then I go back to page 6 and it is always open.
I'm trying to figure out how to close the field when you leave the page if the user does not close it.
Thank you
Mark
Open the Pages panel on the left and right click on the page. Select the Page Properties, Actions, Page Close, and "Run a JavaScript", then enter this code:
this.getField("Field_Name").display = display.hidden;
