Interactive forms: "You are about to sign an uncertified document"

Former Member

When the first person applies their digital signature to an interactive PDF form, the following popup appears:

"You are about to sign an uncertified document"...

Basis have assured me that the ADS server is configured for authentication, we are running ERP2004 SPS18

The help site tells me that it is possible to apply a server side signature:

This link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/58/06abab9ccf44e294105607707e5c50/content.htm

specifically says

"The application is always responsible for setting a server-side certification or a server-side signature".

So how do I certify my document? Can anyone point me to documentation telling me how to do this?

Many thanks,

Jonathan Groll.

To further elaborate:

There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm

Questions though:

(1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!

(2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.

Thanks again,
