prevent changes to signed and sent the PDF form

Hello world!

I hope you can help me. Please excuse any poor English and also all false translations of Acrobat buttons / functions since my Acrobat is in German I don't know the correct English terms.

[Win7, Acrobat XI]

I created a PDF form (w / InDesign).

"I added the 'Send form' action [Formular senden] in Acrobat by using the 'Edit form tools' then right click on the word > properties > actions.

A user can complete and sign before you send the whole PDF for me.

When I receive the complete PDF I see all completed the fields and signatures, BUT I can also edit all the fields of the signed PDF.

How can I prevent the PDF form signed being changed by the receiving person?

Thank you very much.

Ben

Hi ben.beispiel,

Right-click on the signature field. Go to the tab "Signed" in the "Digital Signature Properties" dialog box. The option 'Mark read-only' as shown below:

This will avoid editing the PDF file that is signed by the recipient.

Kind regards

Ana Maria

  • I signed and saved the document. As soon as, I can still change the document and therefore can't send an email safely.

    I signed and saved the document. As soon as, I can still change the document and therefore can't send an email safely. How can I fix it?

    Nothing will stop a PDF to be edited or tampered with; a few things will make it harder. That's why we use digital signatures. They don't stop editing, they mean that any change will be recognized as after the signature, so it is an unauthorized change. The signatures are on the interception of fakes, do not stop them.

  • How can I make an osteonecrosis affects the form that will be present and send the pdf as an email?

    How to make a button on the form that will be present and send the pdf as an email?

    You can set up a button with an action to "Submit a form" and use a URL of the type mailto to specify the email address, you have the forms sent. If you want to send the whole PDF, select this option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL must not include spaces and the part "mailto" must be lowercase, as:

    mailto:[email protected]
    

    It will try to open an e-mail by using the users default email client. If the user has not implemented a or there is another problem, the email could not get started. If she has to work with versions of reader before 11, the form must be activated for the reader, what you do in Acrobat 11 selecting: file > save as other > Reader Extended PDF > activate tools more

    Hi Lisa,

    To download PDF files, you have nothing else except a web browser.
    However, to open the pdf file that is downloaded, you certainly need to download Acrobat Reader: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

  • I bought Photoshop CS2 in 2005. I recently changed my PC and load the software on the new PC.  I load the CD and proceed through the steps.  When it's time to serial number software tells me the serial number on the CD case is not valid

    I bought Photoshop CS2 in 2005. I recently changed my PC and load the software on the new PC.  I load the CD and proceed through the steps.  When it's time to serial number software tells me the serial number on the CD case is invalid.  It is the same serial number, I used previously.  How do I remedy this situation so that I can use the software on my new pc?

    First, use the serial number to the right of the download for Windows.

    Do not place information in the field of the Organization after you enter the number. Which causes problems.

    If you have windows 8, you may need to change the directory to progra ~ 2 on some 64-bit windows systems:

    The reason for the use of progra ~ 2 on a 64-bit system when installing a 32-bit application is the 8 character limit imposed by Windows. PROGRA ~ 2 totals up to 8 characters, program ~ 2 is 9

    You have 2 options:

    1. in the installation, change your path to C:\progra~2\... and install it. It should work.

    2 copy Setup on your local drive. The right click on Setup.exe, properties > Compatibility tab > run in compatibility mode. The choice of XP SP2. Click OK. Run Setup.exe

    Either we have to work.

    I finished and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the shape is empty and I don't see any of the data filled.  After searching online solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > advanced, but PDF Optimization is gray and I can't find any information on how to activate it.  Any help would be appreciated!

    There is a Version of Adobe Reader for iPad in fact that I installed and there is no preview for iPad (or at least I don't have it loaded)

    I must warn that adobe has not implemented support for Javascript.  There are other programs of player what to do.

  • A password is adjustable to apply after a field on the PDF form entry?

    A password is adjustable to apply after a field on the PDF form entry?  So requiring a password after the PDF is closed with a field entry and asking the password after the reopening of the PDF document

    If you ask a password to open document for standard password security, the answer is no.

  • Closing the PDF form on button click

    Thanks and regards-

    Hi Chalukya,

    This will close the PDF form, but not the application (Acrobat/Reader):

  • I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

  • 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!

  • Find the layer with the name "Name1" a name change for 'name2' and then save PDF

    Hi there together, we have the following problem:

    We need a Javascript script to rename all the layers named 'name1' to 'name2' and then save the PDF file.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Patrick

    This code will rename the layer:

    var ocgArray = this.getOCGs();
    for (var i=0; i
    

    Save the file afterwards is more complicated. You can use the Save command sub in a context of trust to do it silently, or you can call the dialog box save as, and let the user manually, by using the command app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs").

  • I have a form downloaded, and when I try to fill the spaces I can't. The form is scanned by HP printer. I think it's the pdf form. How to fill in the blanks?

    I scanned a form and when I open it with Microsoft Works word processor processor, I can't fill in the information. It scanned on a HP printer scanner and it appears as a tiff document, but I can't complete the informatim.

    Hello

    TIFF format means "Tagged Image File Format" you can not change or fill in the text in this format. I suggest you download the. PDF form once again and then fill out the form and save it and then parse the file to TIFF.

    Alternatively, you can try to convert the file to TIFF to word. I suggest you to search Tiff converter for word online and try to convert.

    With the help of third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.
