Digital signatures

Post by EmilyW »

Is there a way (or is it even necessary) to "extend" a PDF document created in PDF Xchange so that people who have Adobe Reader can digitally sign the document?

In Adobe Acrobat, there was a "Save As" feature that would do this, but I'm not finding a similar feature in PDF Xchange.

Since you were so helpful yesterday, you may never get rid of me now. :mrgreen:

Hello Emily,

Unfortunately Adobe are playing it a bit "dirty" in this respect. They only allow some advanced features in their free Reader if the file was created with one of their paid for products. They place a special certificate in such files that the free Reader Recognizes and then allows signing. We can not place that certificate as only Adobe have it.

Regards,
Stefan
