• Digital signature field-how to disable until all required fields are valid?

  I have a document with several required fields, but the user can sign the form without worrying if these fields are valid. Is an option in LiveCycle to control this, IE invalid Signature field until all required fields are true? I think that this could include additional JavaScript. However, I would like to get some advice from others with more expertise.

  Thank you

  Hi Andy,.

  Here's a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=rm5V4y7ANBcmZTsrcXxp1w

  It uses two functions execValidate(), which validates the form and returns true, the form is valid and false if there are errors. PreSign event has access to the cancelAction property, so if there are errors, the cancelAction is set to true.

  I also used the new form Validation features in LC Designer ES2 to combine error messages.

  Good luck

• 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.

• Reset the signature field

  I'm having a problem with resetting my signature fields. It seemed to work very well in reader X but not XI.

  I have a form with several signature fields, and every time that a signature field is signed, then it blocks in some areas. Now when I reset these fields of signature (via a button), it resets the field itself but does not open the fields that he initially locked.

  Any help with how to unlock these fields as well?

  When a domain is locked when a signature field is signed, the field is set read-only. You can cancel it by setting the property read only fields on false:

  getField("text1").readonly = false;

  You will need to do this for each field. If you use a naming hierarchy for the fields, so that all those that you want have the same prefix (for example, group1.name, group1.address, etc.), you can set them all with a single statement:

  getField("group1").readonly = false;

• Newbie question: how to use forms and collect signatures?

  Hello

  I could use some help on how to perform a task, I have been set.

  What we need to do:

  • Provide forms online for new recruits to view and electronically sign
  • Must be able to let people easily sign electronically forms without having to do a lot of work
  • Forms must contain a checksum to indicate that they have not been tampered after signing
  • Forms must be printable by newly hired staff to allow them to keep their information

  Can someone tell me what to do and buy so that we can do this?

  Sorry for the beginners question, but I tried to search for this and did not have a lot of luck to get a clear answer on how to do what we are looking for.

  Thank you!

  The number of forms you'll be colecting will be a problem then. When you enable a document signed and recorded with Acrobat Pro and you distribute the form to more than 500 recipients, you are limited by the license agreement Acrobat from not more than 500 cases of the form data that was provided to you, including paper copies.

  You can avoid this limitation by allowing the reader to the document using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server product, but this can be expensive. There used to be an Adobe authorized third party (FormRouter.com) which could compatible reader of individual documents so that you wouldn't have to license Reader Extensions yourself. I heard that they are is no longer allowed, but you might want to contact them to make sure.

  It is not difficult to set up a new digital ID. You can try it yourself to see what it is.

  Adobe also has the new EchoSign service available, then you might wish to consider to see if it can meet your needs: http://www.echosign.com/

• How to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing existing signature field

  How do to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing of signature field when creating a secure pdf document?

  You must allow commenting as well. Reader users will be able to add attachments as comments. You can also use JavaScript with Player 11 and DC to automate the process somewhat.

  If you need users of Reader in order to add attachments as Acrobat can, you need to add the right of use of file attachments, but you can't do that with Acrobat.

  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:

  

• How to fill a field of date with today's date when the signature field is signed?

  How to fill a field of date with today's date when the signature field is signed? In the LCD, I insert a signature field and a date field, what parameters in these two fields are necessary to make this work? Is the date field, the value calculated? I tried different JS suggestions I found, but none work. In the form, I named the signature ClaimSignature field and the date in the ClaimSigDate field.

  The thought of her with a little help. In the script editor window, I selected the postSign event and added the following JS:

  Form1.Page1.ClaimSignature::postSign - (JavaScript, client)

  var date = new Date();

  var day = date.getDate ();

  var month = date.getMonth () + 1;

  var monthstring = (month, 10?) ('0' + month: month)

  year var = date.getFullYear ();

  var = year DateString + '-' + monthString + '-' + (day< 10="" "0"="" +="" day="" :="">

  I hope this helps someone else save time.

• How can I place a signature field without adding a signature

  I use Acrobat X Pro and you want to add the signature field so that another inexperienced user can add their signature without having to drag a signature box.

  Tools-> forms-> Edit. Click Yes in the dialog box first and OK on the second. You get the 'Tasks' Panel Click on the button "Add new field" and select "Digital Signature". A new signature field appears. Move it to where you want it to appear in your document. You may need to display the page where you want the signature to appear before field to make you.

• Check that the two signature fields are signed

  I want a subform to open only after the signature field is signed. I can't make it work. Here is my script:

   Form1.Subform18.Gate1CustSupApproval::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
  var oState = event.target.getField("Form1.Subform18.Gate1TeamLeaderApproval").signatureValidate();// && event.target.getField("Subform18.Gate1CustSupApproval").signatureValidate(); 
  if (oState != 0){
   Gate2.presence = "visible";
  }
  else
  {
   xfa.host.messageBox("You have not signed the form. \n\nPlease press OK to return to the form and then click the signature field to sign the form. \n\nThank you!", "Error submitting this form", 0, 0); 
  }
  

  It is not a good practice to hide content on a document when users apply a digital signature, are unwilling to sign a document that has a hidden content.

  If you don't want users to fill out certain fields in the subform, and then you can add validation checks in the event preSign of each signature field to ensure that - if the validation fails then cancel the signing operation.

• Digitally sign all Signature fields in the Active Document

  I have a script that will sign a unique digital signature with the name of the field field.

  I need to see the script so that it will sign in fields many/any signature in the active document without having to put the name of the field in the script, as domain names vary with each document.

  Can someone advise please how do I change the script to sign all the fields in the active document, regardless of the domain name?

  function myOtherTrustedFunction()
  {
  app.beginPriv ();
  Get and connection to the Security Manager

  var oSigHdlr = security.getHandler ("Adobe.PPKLite");
  oSigHdlr.login ("123", "/ c/Documents and Settings/name/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/Security/FirstNameLastName.pfx");

  Signature properties configuration

  chk var = this.getField ("Checked");
  If (chk! = null) {}

  Apply the Signature and store it in the original file

  bRtn var = chk.signatureSign ({oSig:oSigHdlr, bUI:false, oInfo: {password: "123"}});
  }

  app.endPriv ();
  }

  Any help will be most appreciated.

  How about this:

  var myEngine = security.getHandler("Adobe.PPKLite");
  myEngine.login("123", "/c/Documents and Settings/name/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/Security/FirstNameLastName.pfx");
  
  for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
  
      // Get the current field object
      var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
  
      // If it's a signature field and not already signed, sign it
      if (f.type === "signature" && !f.value) {
  
          // Sign the field
          f.signatureSign(myEngine, {password: "123"});

• Player cannot sign a pdf signature field

  Hello

  I am using LiveCycle Designer V 8.2.1

  I added a signature field in a new form I created.

  The problem is that you cannot sign the PDF in Reader X. It doesn't do anything.

  I have another form that was created by another user who is no longer there, and you can add the signature.

  When I open it is Acrobat 9 Pro, I can sign.

  Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

  You cannot digitally sign a PDF document with player UNLESS the PDF has been "Reader Extended".  This can be done using LiveCycle ES2 Reader Extensions (Server product) or Acrobat Professional X (file > save as > Reader extended PDF)

• Need of signature field must be signed before

  Hello

  I created a form that collects information and needs to require a digital signature before it can be submitted.  I use livecycle 8.2 and will use the tool for distribution to distribute and track and collect responses.  I used the following script in the preSubmit event to make several mandatory required fields before they can click on the button submit created by adobe in the distributed form:

  If (this.) IsNull)
  {
  This.Mandatory = 'error ';
  xfa.host.messageBox ("enter the information in the name field.");
  }
  on the other
  {
  This.Mandatory = "disabled";
  }

  I could not require the Signature field with this same script.  I placed the script above in the event preSubmit for my field of Signature however, if a user does not sign the document and receives in turn then the message box and the mandatory error when they sign the document that they continue to receive the message and mandatory error.  It seems that rawValue of a Signature field is always null?  How do form recognition when the Signature field is signed?

  Your help is greatly appreciated,

  Tilson

  Hi Tilson,

  For starters, the AcroForms and XFA (designer of LK) forms are completely different animals! Even if a XFA in a 'wrapper' PDF form and can be opened in Acrobat/Reader, it can be changed in Acrobat. You will see a lot of normal Acrobat features is grayed out when an XFA form is opened.

  If your normal "Add/Edit Fields" menu disappeared and Acrobat push you the designer to LC.

  The funniest is the solution XFA to watch the State of the signature field is a function of AcroForm.

  It's messy...

  A possible solution is to have a required field, what is hidden. This will prevent submission, but the error message will not help because it will tell the user that not all fields are completed, but they won't see a hidden. We'll call the hidden field 'signedFlag '.

  Then in the signature field layoutReady event:

  var oState = event.target.getField("form1[0].page1[0].SignatureField1[0]").signatureValidate();
  if (oState != 0)
  {
       signedFlag.mandatory = "disabled";
  }
  else
  {
       signedFlag.mandatory = "error";
  }
  

  Not pretty, but maybe worth a test.

  Good luck
