• sign documents with digital signatures with Adobe Reader DC

  We use the Adobe reader dc for signing documents with digital signatures, but does work well for us.

  Use the digital signature, we have configured so that whenever you use for pin code request. The problem is that when you sign a document with Adobe Reader DC the first time, we used the firm asked the PIN, but the following documents signed what it does is it adds the signature pin, but he does not ask why when valid certificate is not valid.

  Can you help me to always ask the pin code when you want to use the digital signature to sign the document?

• Opening Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in LabVIEW with digital signature of files

  Hello

  I try to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in LabVIEW (or were then converted into a format that can be opened). After the opening, to fill out checklists can insert a digital signature preset (possibly through an authorisation of user name and password) and save the file while preventing further edit or print a pdf of this report.

  I have a good experience with LabVIEW, but not in this kind of a system.

  I appreciate if someone can point me in the direction to start.

  Thank you very much

  Regarding (1): there is no ActiveX control to view the Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint files. If you want to display these on a front of LabVIEW, so the simplest solution is to use a web browser on the front panel control. This will allow you to provide the path to the file in the URL of the web browser control navigation and the file will be embedded in the browser control. It would be no different than the consultation within Internet Explorer.

  Regarding (2): assuming that you view the document on the front panel, this looks like the basis of LabVIEW programming, so I don't know what you're asking for here, or that you are having problems with.

  With regard to the (3): I must admit that I'm not quite clear on what will be signed. It also seems that the signing and printing of PDF are two distinct objectives here.

• The file is signed with digital signature is broken, published by: VideoSoft

  When I run the antivirus it comes up with the following legend:

  The file is signed with a digital signature that is broken, published by: VideoSoft
  

  Windows\System32\Vsflex6.ocx

  Help

  Thank you

  Hi Charlydue,

  A digital signature is an electronic security mark that can be added to the files. It allows you to verify the Publisher of a file and helps verify that the file has not changed since it has been digitally signed.

  If the file does not have a valid digital signature, has no way for you make sure that the file is actually from the source, of what he wants, or that he didn't has not been tampered with (possibly by a virus) since its publication. It is safer to avoid opening the file unless you know for certain who created it and if the content is safe to open it.

  Even a valid digital signature does not verify the content of the file is harmless. You need to decide if you should trust the contents of the file based on the Publisher's identity and where you download the file from.

  Try upgrading to the latest version of VideoSoft and check if the error disappears. Also, contact the software vendor for assistance.

• link unwanted e-mail with digital signature

  I created a digital signature in adobe reader and now my email (MAC OX system) wants to access it whenever I have send an email. I deleted my Keychain Access certificate in Adobe utilities but I can't find out how to remove the link to my e-mail system.  Whenever I have email, I get the message that OS X wants to make changes. If I deny I get this message: an error occurred when trying sign this message with a certificate 'my address e-mail here. Check that your certificate to this address is correct, and that his private key is in your keychain.

  Even if the certificate was there, I got this message. I loop so back to first ask for your permission changes. I never asked Adobe to start to sign my emails and cannot understand it. Help

  just worked out--Phew!

• Dynamic PDF with Digital Signatures?

  LCD display 9 - Acrobat 9 standard/Pro

  Looking for the definitive answer on this one. My PDFs need to be both dynamic and use digital signatures. For now, I also design with GIS digital multi static and treat small forms and this via a portfolio.

  It would be nice if I could design a form that has two fluid sections (think added rows of a table dynamically using script, or even simple textfields that expand as you fill them via content areas sank) and these digital signatures. As soon as I do this dynamic PDF signatures are invalidated immediately that the form displays the changes.

  Is there a work around? Part of the process that I have to design for need fields flowed, and require all of the digital signatures on the form.  We use the Entrust security for GIS num - and this won't change, so cannot use inherent Adobe signature security methods.

  Thank you

  Jim

  Hi Jim,.

  I have attached a dynamic XFA PDF file that contains fields of signature that I mocked upward. Open in the Designer Forms and you can see how it's built.

• RISKS associated with the absence of a SYS logs for newspapers and ESXi host newspapers vCenter Server

  What is the inherent risk to not configure a server of SYS logs. The sys normal newspapers configured in the data store have a maximum

  amount of storage restrictions or it develops utlize the configured size of the data store. Thank you very much for your answers.

  Locally stored logs to rotate and do not grow very big at all. I see no technical risk associated to this as filling a data store, etc.

• Security risks associated with backups

  If an administrator has all the privileges of a backup such as Veeam servers infrastructure, technically a VM could be saved somewhere, it shouldn't be, or restoration work could be done in a place where it shouldn't be, so that the virtual machines can be compromised.  As a point of reference for Vmware infrastructure, my security target level is 2 risk profile.  What should I do and how I have to go to secure backup infrastructure?

  Hello

  The only way to get control is to limit what the admin account can do on the restoration. That is, anywhere read nice things, but writing in specific data warehouses. You can make and take control. In this way it is impossible to restore without going to specific locations.

• How to get Adobe to fix a bug with Digital Signatures and portfolios?

  There is a bug in Adobe Acrobat.  I don't know when it was introduced, but in a few months.  I can sign is more numerically the PDF portfolio.  I don't think that anyone using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI can sign a portfolio.  I reported it to Adobe 11 days.   Every day, I check and I can't get an answer on when they will solve this problem. All I hear is the " issue has grown to our main support team."   This prevents me from doing things that are important to me.

  Does anyone know how to attract the attention of Adobe to fix a bug?  climbing the priority?  If enough people's complaint, is get fixed?

  Don't expect bugfixes in days. If Adobe agree that this is a bug and give priority to fix and the report was at the right time, it can be fixed in 3 months or more, but 6 months is most likely. Only security vulnerabilities would be on a different cycle. This isn't an official response, but a guess based on the observation of Adobe (it's faster than a few years where there was in general that a single bug fix release in each new version, maybe a year apart).

  Certainly, reports of errors more real increase in priority.

• Digital signature field

  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.

• How can I exclude a field and "print" of the digital signature key

  Hello

  I have a form and it has a 2 signature fields (1 staff) and 1 for the security principal. This form also have a text box that principal put his comment after the signature of the staff! At the moment when staff sign its document, all fields of blocking and not able to put his comment on the main document. After you sign the button to print the form of document also does not. How can I solve that?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can configure objects that are associated with each signature collections. Go to object > palette of Signature where you can add and manage collections.

  There is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=zYfWoMpI5j9CmHa57Ym9hA. This has three signature fields.

  Hope that helps,
