Adobe Forms and Allowing to Sign using Adobe Reader

[Former Member]

Dear,

i am testing some scenario's with Adobe Interactive Forms.

I have a Topaz Digital Signature Pad, which can be used to create a Signature inside a PDF file. This has been tested and works. This does not use a certificate, but puts a handwritten signature inside a signature field.

I would like to test this using SAP interactive Forms. I have setup my Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 using the GemSignPlus API as validator and creator for Digital Signatures. The only problem is that my pdf from sap is not allowed to create,or sign the pdf. When i look at security settings of the pdf, it says : signing not allowed.

In the manual of sap, i have read that adobe interactive forms, will be saved as allowed signing, standard, but when i open them in the reader, this does not comply.

I am at netweaver 2004s, sp 9. Please help

I managed to resolve this on my own.

I had missed some pages from the configuration guide.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure it'll work, but you can try the following:

WDPDFDocumentProtectPermission[] permissions = {
  WDPDFDocumentProtectPermission.CHANGES_FILL_AND_SIGN };
IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler handler =
  WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(
    view.getContext().getController(),
    "InteractiveForm");
IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormContext ctx = handler.getDocumentContext();
ctx.setProtection(null, null, permissions);

Kind regards,

Sigiswald
