Why am I unable to create documents in Acrobat Pro v8 which can be signed digitally using Acrobat Reader 8?
 
I notice that there are sometimes differences in the Document Security details and the Document Restrictions Summary.
 
Are there known issues relating to digital signatures and Acrobat Reader 8?

My Product Information:
Reader 8, Windows

Try this solution. From the menu bar, click Advanced, Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader. This will allow users of Adobe Reader 8.0 to sign the document. I also suggest you set a Page Property JavaScript that checks the user version of Adobe Reader as a Page Open Action.

Paste this code in the Page Open Action:

if (app.viewerVersion < 8)
{app.alert("You must have Adobe reader 8.0 to view this document.")
this.closeDoc(true)
}

Worked like a charm. I knew it had to be something simple I was missing.

Thanks!
