Hello,
I am a developer and I manipulates Pdf document using third parties components.
I am facing a problem and I would like to know if what I am trying to do is feasible at all.
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
- 0 create a document containing the text of a contract and three empty signature fields.
- 1 Certify (mdp) the document using a digital signature for the author, allowing form field changes.
- 2 Insert first signature
- 3 Insert second signature.
People signing in step 2 and 3 agree to the terms of the contract.
It works fine until step 3. Then the second signature shows the infamous yellow triangle that says that the document has been modified (which is the case since the insertion of the third signature.)
Is there a way to get rid of that yellow triangle or is there another way to insert three digital signatures in a document: 1 for the author, 2 for both parties involved, the content of the document of course cannot be changed after the author has signed it.
with thanks in advance
Laurent Merchez
I had thought Acrobat/Reader 7 worked the same as 8 with respect to certified documents and the signature status so there may be some other problem or I may be mistaken. Try opening the same document in Reader 8 or 9 and see what you get.
Another relevant question is whether this is a regular Acrobat Form or an XML form made in Adobe Designer.
