Lock document after signing, even if the creator did install no lock on the signature

Hiya,

An external company we send a contract to sign, is there a way for us to block the document with a digital signature, even if they have not setup the signed PDF to lock when file?

See you soon

You should see the option lock the document at the signing of the last unsigned signature field in a document.

  • When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature?

    When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature for each of them. Its way easier if I send all together, because the signatory needs to sign once and then just click on the other signature fields, but if I separate documents, how I divide again?

    Hello Anna,

    If you have a professional account, there is a feature that you can enable to recover separate documents. You can go to the account-> account setting-> general framework 'Keep the separate documents' and select Save.

    Kind regards

  • Signature is removed when the document is attached to another document, how can I keep the signature?

    I lost the signature of the writer when I attach a document to another document, how to restore keeping the signature.  He used to work until I did something to remove the signature.

    Example:

    I have a letter of transmittal from pdf to the contractor.  And I want to join two transmission of the Consultant as an attachment for approval of letter: 6 to 3 000 lb/po2 of concrete and 6 b to 4 000 lb/po2 of concrete. Both have been signed by the consultant approved by using the electronic signature.

    When I join these two documents, the signature does not, the signature block is white.

    It used to work until I did something (my finger must have done something) and now the signature does not appear.

    How to get back my original back where I could attach a document with the electronic signature.

  • Select "Lock Document after signing" by default

    My boss like the 'Lock after signing the Document' option in Acrobat X and plan to use it whenever he signs a document. So, is there a way to keep this box checked by default? I'm not anywhere in preferences, including at - it a registry key, that I can put?

    There is not a preference for it. It is possible to use initial values for fields of digital signature, which allows to create a toolbar or of custom menu point button that adds a digital signature field to a page with the values of seeds that would cause the document to be blocked when signed.

  • Unable to connect PDF, even though the signature it set to "allowed".

    Hello

    There is a curious problem of certain documents; Unfortunately I can't understand any common denominator here and ask for your help. We receive a wide variety of documents PDF of suppliers, customers and also some facts internally. These all have "signature" set to "Allowed" in the security settings for the document, but they cannot yet be signed in Adobe Reader (even if we can place a signature in Acrobat Pro and sign the document).

    I made these screenshots:

    I hope you can answer this for me so that we can move forward.

    Thank you very much.

  • How to hide the information PDF/A sign and display the signature information panel? (plugin)

    Hello

    When you open a PDF/A compliant document and also has a signature digital then PDF/a information panel is always displayed with the text:

    You have opened the file conforms to the PDF/A standard and was opened in read-only to prevent the change.

    Instead, I would like that my plugin to display the Panel of usual signature information:

    Signed and all signatures are valid.

    It is possible to get this behavior by setting preferences-> Documents-> PDF/A-> Mode of display/a 'never '.

    What I would do is to programmatically set the information bar to display the status of the signature (for documents that are checked by my plugin, probably inside the dsGetValidState). For all other documents open it in PDF/A, by default, that's fine.

    No idea how to do the plugin with the SDK from the inside?

    There is no control over the 'Message of Document bar' from a plugin.

    Mode display PDF/A disable is a REALLY BAD IDEA!

  • Cannot open documents after you have uninstalled the Office publisher trial version

    Two days ago, I uninstalled a trial of desktop publisher that has happened, that it is the trial period.
    Now when I open a doc ask me to insert the Office xp professional CD but I have Office Home edition factory installed.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    It was a trial version, so you couldn't use unlimited number.
    Also if you want to use this application you need to buy this software.

    However, you said that you are an owner of office home edition. Then why you n t install this software and use it instead of Office xp professional.

  • Download the signature using the API and pre fill the signature

    I use echosign api to display forms to get the candidate (which comes on our site). We show the form of widget. We use more than 40 forms. It is difficult for candidates to sign all forms. Is there anyway I can get the signature of the candidate and pre fill out the signature using the API?

    If not, is there another way to do this?

    NOTE: Candidate - not a user in echosign

    Hello RajkumarMohan,

    By default, it is always required by the signatories to give their signature any document esigning. Even with the API, it is not possible. If it is a single widget with several fields of signature, once the signer signs a first field, and then when he clicks on the second field of signature, the signature is automatically populated in it.

    Kind regards

  • Why all the signatures of retirees?

    In a few upgrade (es) fairly new signature, Cisco withdrew hundreds of signatures. Updated GIS removes these signatures? Is there a list of them somewhere?

    There are 2 sets of the system configuration:

    (1) the default configuration - the update of the signature update

    (2) user tunings - "sig0" - that replaces what is in the default configuration

    If a configuration option is included in both the default and "sig0", then everything that is "sig0" is which will come into force.

    (NOTE: to see what works in "sig0" just 'see the conf')

    If a signature is "retired true" in default, then the user can change the signature "false retired" in "sig0" in order for active/Kimbo.

    Once the user puts in 'fake retirement' then it will always be 'no removed' without worrying about what Cisco puts in the default configuration.

    You can even prevent a future retirement of signatures.

    If a signature is currently 'fake retirement' and is active, you can always go forward and add 'former false' in 'sig0 ". The configuration in "sig0" and by default, both list the signature as "fake retirement."

    BUT if later on Cisco changes 'true' signature retreat you will always have 'retired false' in "sig0" and your 'fake retirement' will cause the signature to stay active.

    In this way, you can force a signature is always active regardless of what a signature update is.

    As for your question of ' don't they be retired after each update of the signature?

    The answer is no.

    By default will contain 'true retirement', but if you put "false to retirement" in "sig0", then it replaces the 'true retirement' in the current default value as well as the new default values for new signature updates.

    Hi guys,.

    When you type information in a form in the DC or Pro Player I can enter text with fields of text etc and then save, close and return later to change the form. However once I use the function "Fill & Sign" to sign the document, and then save, it locks the file and all other fields become editable. Is there a way around this to remove this feature where it becomes locked and instead allows me to change the form after a signature is applied and saved. All the security properties of the form are on 'admitted', there is no restriction. Even though the document is locked all the properties remain still as 'authorized '.

    The signing is FINAL.  You cannot sign a PDF paper advance. Complete and save, do not sign.
