Possibility to place a signature in Acrobat Pro ms?

In earlier versions of Acrobat, I could easily add my signature to a PDF document that a colleague had already signed.  This was useful (mandatory in fact) for documents that require several levels of approval. It seems that it is no longer possible in Acrobat DC unless the original document has signature fields added from the outset.  Is there a way to get around this?  Most of the forms I need to sign in this way is not under my control... change them are not an option.

I assume you are using digital signatures. Do you mean that you cannot sign in Acrobat DC exactly the same PDF that you are able to sign in an earlier version of Acrobat? This doesn't seem fair.

Is it possible that the PDF you want to sign in DC is a new that you never tried to sign before in an earlier version of Acrobat? If this is the case then your PDF is especially unlikely certified with permissions that prevent future signature, or that it already contains a previous digital signature that is locked. In both cases you cannot sign again in any version of Acrobat (at least since Acrobat 7 or 8). When you print your PDF printer PDF file, you effectively remove all existing signatures (although their appearance is perhaps still there), and allows you to sign. Open the Signature Panel in your original PDF you want to sign and inspect its existing signatures if it contains one (I think it does).

  • No Option to "Place the Signature" in Acrobat Pro XI

    I use Acrobat Pro XI.  When I click on the button 'Sign', I do not get the I need to sign, fill and sign the Signature Place Menu Options as I do using another computer in Acrobat Reader XI.  Why?  Or if not how to turn these practical options in Pro?  When I click on the button 'Sign' in Pro, I get 'sign with' Options of certificate... but nothing that would allow me to simply place the graphic signature as in Reader.

  • How to clear the signature in acrobat pro dc

    I want to erase a signature on a document DC form I created. I used to be able to do a right-click on the signature field and choose "Clear Signature" but this option is not available.

    Hi Pete,.

    The "Clear Signature" option is available in Acrobat Pro MS as in Acrobat Pro XI.

    You can delete a signature if you are the writer, in other words, if the digital ID with which you made the signature is available for Acrobat.

    I see two reasons that the "clear signature" is perhaps not available:

    1. your digital ID is not available to Acrobat Pro DC. In other words, you don't him not yet imported it for use in Acrobat or do not have your smart card in the reader, etc.

    2. When you signed the PDF document, you have chosen the option "Lock after signing the Document.

  • By exposing the "reasons" for the signature in Acrobat Pro XI?

    I want to define the reasons to sign a document in my digital signature. However, I can't find any place that allows me to enter this information.

    For example, I want to enter something like "to confirm my participation."

    I found some docs support but they all refer to Acrobat X security Prefs that are different from Acrobat XI.

    In Acrobat 11: Edit (or Acrobat on Mac) > preferences > signature > design & appearance > more > show motives

I pass the proof of eligibility and received a serial number, but I never get the installation program.

    I went to a friend and we tried the drive of his computer to Windows 7 and the name of the program showed when you click top started to install.  My friends computer is a Windows 7.

  • How change a PDF file created with Acrobat Pro XI after signatures have been applied (as I can in 7, 8.0

    I have a major problem that I need to resolve before we can buy Acrobat Pro XI:


    Currently, with Acrobat Pro 8.1, after all signatories sign a document, we add an effective Date (we add it after they sign since we do not know when the last signature is acquired and we cannot have an effective Date that is prior to the date of the last signatory, moreover, it would be effective before they signed, which is not possible). I am also authorized the latitude (as described in our Documentation control procedure) to make spelling corrections, hyperlink updates and minor formatting changes (using the typewriter and, also, by replacing a page which is NOT signed so page change shows how to repaginate the document or the amendment of a hyperlink that has changed).


    In all versions previous Acrobat we used (7 Pro, Pro 8 and 8.1 Pro), this was easily possible and any changes would be listed on the Signatures tab, which is exactly what we want, is traceability.


    I now use the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI but get the message "this document is signed and cannot be displayed." If I bring the same PDF created from Word 2003 & 2013 using Acrobat Pro XI in Pro 8.1, however, I CAN add the date, use the typewriter and replace unsigned pages, register and leave without compensation or lose any signature.


    My question is this: How can I do this in Acrobat Pro XI, as Pro XI (in the Signature pane) lists also changes made to the document, when it was edited using Pro 8.1? (It's OK that the changes made to the PDF and then mark signatures as "invalid", as the reason why they were invalidated is also listed in the pane of the Signature, for example "form field added," which is usually the Date of effect applied).


    Thanks for any help!

    Thank you, Zildjian, and isakten. You me headed in the right direction. What I ended up doing was just a form text (for entry into force) field, then the required signature fields. After everyone has signed, I can the Effective Date of entry, then save the document and I don't have to sign myself or apply any type of certification. I just have to remember to put the text before form field I have forward the documents. It's the right answer, at least for my situation.

    Thanks again!

  • 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.

    recently purchased Acrobat Pro for Mac, but who also want to put it on a PC. There are several places so I can do this and I can use it on both Mac and PC? I don't think I can ask my boss to spend another $485 so I may have to go with another drive, if I can't use it on multiple systems.

    A version bought the current version (Acrobat DC Pro) can be exchanged, so you should be able to run on Windows or Mac. But never both. You can then run it on two machines for your own personal use (do not share).

    A subscription version can be installed on two computers. Windows or Mac. For a person.

    More complex arrangements are pointing to a need for volume licenses.

  • Import data from Excel in PDF with Acrobat Pro XI - is it possible? How?

    I need to be able to create a pdf file where certain information can be merged to an Excel spreadsheet in the pdf file so that our land use specialists can use tablets to fill the field. I also need to be able to create a field where the user can join or import a jpg file. Is it possible to do this with Acrobat Pro XI? Another program is necessary. I need to know the answers to my questions by January 28, 2016.

    Hi shannonr80675036,

    Yes, but you there are two things you need to do in Excel for this to work:

    Columns must be named the same as the field names in the PDF form. The names that you use in your PDF form, or you must change the names of fields in the PDF form so that they correspond to the column names in Excel, you can either match. In this example, I took the first approach and used the field names as my column headings:

    When you export your data to Excel file, you must select the "Tab Delimited Text" format. It is one of the export options in Excel (and other spread sheet applications) which is available when you select file > save as:

    Once you have your tabs-delimited text file, open your PDF form, and then select Tools > forms > more form Options and click Import:

    In the file dialog box, select this option to import a text file, browse to your exported text file and select it. In the next screen, you can then choose what import record, you can import only one record at a time:

    This will complete the PDF form with the selected values:

    That, for each record you have in your Excel file and save the PDF file under a new name.

    Kind regards

    I have Acrobat Pro on my computer and I work with the drawing that have been digitized in PDF format. The scanners are not aligned or place because of the poor scanning process. Is there anyway to align the document even if it requires me to crop or lose some on the edges?

    Hi brad.

    Yes. You can use the analysis tools to straighten and crop your document. Here is a link to a new tutorial. The key to activate the sliding options recovery is to choose the option of the camera Image in the drop to Enhance, and gives you tools to set the correct page for smoothing areas.
