I can't sign a digitally signed document

I received a document that has been digitally signed. I need to apply my signature for countersigning the contract. When I click on "Fill and sign" on the right, I don't see my normal options to paste in my signature. Is there a way to countersign a document like this? Or am I stuck printing off the coast and sign manually. I saved these PDF files to Word format before, only to convert to PDF. There must be a way to get there, but I'm too much of a novice in Adobe. I looked for a solution but came to nothing.

I appreciate any advice or help anyone can offer, thank you.

Hi Brad Qualls,

Could you please let us know the adobe application you are using, and the version of the OS on your system?

To digitally sign a document, you must select the option of certificates of tools.

You can access the Tools pane and type "Certificates" in the search box. And then the option 'digital sign.

Please refer to this article: digital in Acrobat DC ID - based signatures, Adobe Acrobat DC certificates

Let us know if that helps.

    You mean certificate on your smart card, right of signature? If the certificate on your smart card is designed to sign then the answer is "Yes, you can. CA that issued a certificate place some fields that can restrict its use, say, as well as encryption, only signature or authentication of the server only, etc. The certificate on your smart card doesn't have to be no restrictions to use incompatible with signature for you to be able to sign with her. You can simply try to connect your smart card and watch if Acrobat accepts the certificate for the signature.

  • I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the doc

    I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the document (replacing the existing document) and close. Then another person can open the same document digitally sign another area of the form, save it, and close it. So on, and so on. Is there a way to do this? At the end of the day, I would end up with a PDF file with literally hundreds of signatures to enable different ACC everywhere...

    I don't understand what the problem is. In the post of the davidr96549424 on May 8, 2015 07:58 you presented a structure of a correct document. Is the issue of the creation of this structure in a PDF file? For this, you will need an Acrobat, not reader.

    XI in Acrobat, select Tools-> forms-Edit. Click 'No' on the form fields 'detect '. In the tasks Panel that opens, click on "add new field". Select "Digital Signature" and move it to the location in the document where you want to than the appearance of the signature to be. Repeat that for signature fields as you want. Users will sign by clicking on the prepared unsigned signature field which shows the dialog box "sign. Do not forget that as TSN has noted that a digital signature applies to the entire document. The entry in the document where it is is irrelevant. Each next signature covers all previous signatures.

    Your users can also sign a document from anywhere that they want without signature fields already prepared. For this select fill & sign-> work with certificates and the type of signing you want to sign up with. A dialog box that will tell you a rectangle for the appearance of signature rises and after you draw the rectangle of the dialog 'Sign' rises.

    PDF/Acrobat doesn't have a limit on a number of signatures in a PDF document. But! Don't forget that when you open a PDF file with Acrobat/Reader signatures valid all of them and takes time (several seconds - until 10 - for every signature), so if you have several signatures of dozens of their validation open can take a long time.

    I don't know how build you your workflow so that each person signs the same PDF and saves it. Economy runs on the same computer where the PDF is stored. You'll have to decide how to allow different people to have access to the same PDF. They, of course, you may sign this only one-at-a-time PDF.

  • How can my user password - protect a document that has been digitally signed?

    Hello

    I've seen a few threads that indirectly address some parts of this question, but always find myself not sure about whether this process can be done - and if it is possible, I could use your help to understand - thank you.

    Two of our end users use digital signatures (based on certificates) in Acrobat 9 Pro to sign documents attesting the status of precision & calibration of equipment of laboratory for use in a legal environment.  These end users are concerned that their documents could be amended or edited and asked me if password can also be applied to the documents that must be digitally signed.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Do you apply 'Open' password password "Permissions" or both? If you apply 'Permissions' password (with or without the 'Open' password) of course I "Edit" include filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields"or" commenting on, fill in the form fields and signing existing signature fields. If the permissions do not allow you to connect, you are unable to sign.

    Be aware of the alert that Acrobat appears when you apply the password "Permissions" that all Adobe products meet the permissions that you set, but this 3rd party PDF viewers may not (and many do not).

    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:

    Since Acrobat Reader downloaded DC I can't sign my PDF documents. It does not give me the option more and yes I am connected. On the old version, I got no problem with clicking on "signature" and draw the area where I needed my signature, put the password and "POOF" my signature would be there. With this new version, it won't do that or give me the option. The online help is useless. I need to explain to me how connect you as I used too?

    Hi nicholass35183848,

    I assumed that you had a digital signature created in your player application of old and whenever you use to fill out a pdf with a signature field signed you it. But in order to draw and then sign you must use Acrobat Pro DC no DC drive.

    Thank you

  • 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

  • To disable the account so they can sign documents even if they do not need to send or create them

    I run into issues with account management for our groups. There are several accounts that have been created where users decide that they do not really need to create documents, but they still need the ability to sign documents that other users create and send their.

    The problem that I am running is that as soon as I disable the user account, they are no longer able to sign a document that is sent to them. Instead, they are being asked to login to their account EchoSign, even if it has been disabled.

    This attitude is contrary to the understanding that there is no need an account only to sign a document that is sent to their email address. We do have enough licenses to simply allow the accounts to remain active when the user does not intend to use them to send documents.

    It seems I'm missing something very basic, because obviously, it should be simple enough to change a users permissions to be able to create documents that he is just able to sign documents they receive. Please lend me any advice you may have on this.

    Hello d0Ryan,

    By default, a signatory didn't need an E-Sign account to sign documents electronically. That being said, if a signer is not an account, then it should be active as inactive accounts cannot provide signatures. In your scenario, if you wish, we can remove users from your account and can convert them to release level so that they have the possibility of esign documents and still does not license paid into your account.

    If this suites you, so please inbox me your EchoSign registered email address, with users who are involved.

    Kind regards

  • In trouble!  Unable to save my digitally signed document.

    Hello

    I asked this question before but I did not get a solution.

    I need to sign documents, save them, and then send by e-mail. I wasn't able to do my job for two days and I'm very worried.

    I'm on windows 10 and I have installed Adobe Reader DC.

    I activate this function without problem with the latest version of Adobe.

    Please someone help me. Seriously, I could lose my job and I have exhausted all my options in terms of trying to get a solution.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Please check if the PDF file is drive extended or not, otherwise, you will need to get the extended PDF file reader using the Acrobat application to activate the extended rights so that you are able to save the signed PDF.

    Let me know if its useful.

    Kind regards
