Now that I have my mailDoc forms working, I am on to step two.

I have a form that needs to be signed by three people at varying stages. After the first person signs, I have a combo box/send button appear using the show/hide field on mouse up coded into the signature field.

It does make the box appear after I sign, however the fields that cannot be used after its signed, however in the signature properties used the "Just these fields as readable" and the combo box and send boxes are NOT included in that list.

This is the error I get in the command window:

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.subject:2:Field Sendsig1:Mouse Up

It is doing this in my other form as well. There has to be a way to use the mailDoc feature after a form has been signed so I can create a workflow.

I feel like I am missing something here. Why won't it attach using the mailDoc form I built, that works before the signature, after the form has been signed? I have those fields listed as exceptions.

You have to exclude any field that you want to be modifiable after the signature field finishes processing.

Are you testing in Reader or Acrobat?

If Reader, have you 'Enabled Usage Rights in Reader'?

You may need to review the 'Quick' boxes in the Acrobat JS API for every property you are trying to modify to locate the one(s) that are causing the issue.

I am using Acrobat. I set up the signature boxes to be inclusive, rather than exclusive meaning I used the parameter that tells them to make the following boxes "Read Only" and specified only a few, none of which were the combo box/send button fields.

Furthermore, when I set it up so that the signature box doesn't have any affect on fields, it still does the same thing.
