Acrobat 2020 Sign In Required

[Nathen Paisley]

Isanyone else experiencing this same issue? The required name block disappears from the form that my signer receives. This bug started happening today with the same template that I have been using successfully for the past week.

If you are using the Signer Info Field - Name - then this is the expected behavior. This is a READ ONLY field. This field will take the name value your signer enters into the Signature Field. When using this field, your signers cannot provide a different name than the one they are signing with.

I have a form that has 4 required fields (1 of which is a signature field). Two of the required fields (textfields) are placed before the Signature field on the form, and the last required field (a radio button group) is placed after the Signature field.

I am trying to insert a Java Script within a form that will validate required fields before allowing an electronic signature. I have placed the script inside the signature field properties however it only executes after the document has been signed.

A change was made a few weeks ago to our group settings in Adobe Sign to facilitate 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature compliance (Bio-Pharma). In order to self-sign, you will need to route your document to yourself for signature, rather than signing as you have been.

With the secure Adobe Sign cloud-based app, you replace paper and ink signature processes with fully automated electronic signature workflows. Use a modern browser to prepare, send, sign, track, and manage signature processes. No software is needed for signers (who can be internal or external to Duke, provided no PHI is being sent).

DHTS has implemented a 30 day document retention policy effective November 5th, 2020. Thirty days after a document is completed (signed by all parties necessary) it will be automatically and permanently purged from the Adobe Sign storage cloud. This policy will remain in effect in perpetuity. Documents will be permanently purged and recovery will not be possible.

Study teams looking for a letter of non-repudiation at the request of a sponsor can find one by clicking on this link. The document requires a handwritten signature for teach team member using the Adobe Sign software. For questions, please contact DOCR...@dm.duke.edu.

Use Adobe Sign for operational documents requiring an internal Duke employee signature or a signature from an employee at a collaborating study site or with a vendor/sponsor with whom we have a formal business relationship.

Use of a Duke email address is required for employee signatories. Academic or corporate email addresses of collaborators or vendor/sponsor stakeholders are preferred. (Personal email addresses may be used on a limited basis for external parties with whom we have a formal business relationship.)

All final signed documents processed via Adobe Sign must be stored in an approved Duke document management system or shared storage location. These include, but are not limited to Department shared drive locations, PACE, or Duke's Box. Please follow your respective departmental procedures and guidelines for document management. The Adobe Sign cloud cannot be used for storage of Duke documents under any circumstances.

An electronic signature (e-signature) is a broad term referring to any electronic process that indicates acceptance of an agreement or a record. Site-based research will use e-signatures, but not Digital Signatures. To be valid, an e-signature must have the following elements:

Digital signatures use certificate-based digital IDs to authenticate signer identity and demonstrate proof of signing by binding each signature to the document with encryption. Validation occurs through trusted certificate authorities (CAs) or trust service providers (TSPs).

To demonstrate its ease of use, Adobe provides an interactive simulation of preparing and sending a document for signature. You click the mouse and enter information as you do in the Adobe Sign web app. With some browsers, you will have better results drawing your signature rather than typing it. (And, of course, do not sign up at the end!)

Ready to send your document? Review the various ways to send your document for signature.

Use a password to (1) Verify the signer, or (2) Protect a document you send.

Create Forms. Three methods are shown. (Note: You must be familiar with text tags to use the Acrobat method.)

Cancel a Transaction. Cancel a document that is out for signature or waiting for your signature.

See the history of a transaction. An audit trail lists all activities on a document.

Replace your saved signature. Remove your current signature and apply a new signature.

Quick setup guide for administrators.

Add users to a group. You can also set some settings for the entire group.

Create or update users in bulk. Create and upload .csv files (say, created from Excel).

Deactivate a user. Prevents all future logins, but does not cancel any agreements in process.

Modify group settings. Customize the way users in your group use Adobe Sign.

Create a Library Template. Create either a form field Layer or create a re-usable document.

Keep in mind that you can only sign and seal an engineering document that you were in responsible charge of preparing and had the engineering expertise required to produce the document. (See Rule 61G15-18.011(1), Florida Administrative Code, for details on responsible charge.)

Digital or electronic signatures and seals are handled differently. When digitally signing and sealing, your digital signature and seal, with the date the document was sealed, should appear on the first page of the engineering document. When electronically signing and sealing, your electronic signature and seal, with the date the document was sealed, should appear on the signature report. With either of these methods, a title block should appear on each sheet of the document.

A Professional Engineer may use a wet seal, an embossing seal, or a digital seal. Whichever is used must be at least 1-7/8 inches in diameter and similar in design as indicated in Rule 61G15-23.002, F.A.C., Seals Acceptable to the Board.

The method you choose for signing and sealing your engineering documents will depend on the format required by the public entity with which you are filing the documents. FBPE does not have jurisdiction over how engineering documents must be filed, as long as the public entity is not asking Professional Engineers to violate engineering laws and rules.

A digital signature must be unique to the Professional Engineer using it, obtained from a third-party certification authority, and capable of verification. The certification authority will vet the PE and provide a password-protected digital signature file. (FBPE does not approve or provide a list of authorities.)

You may not use the digital signature option provided in Adobe Acrobat, since it is self-authenticated and does not use a third party. However, you may use Adobe Acrobat in conjunction with the digital signature provided by a proper certification authority.

A digital signature is typically placed on the first page of an engineering document. A digitally signed and sealed document may include as many sheets as necessary. Each sheet must contain a title block.

Please note that while the formatting may be altered, the text located within the text box must remain identical to the examples, and must be placed on each of the electronic plan sheets but cannot be placed in the digital signature itself.

The printable signature report must include your name and license number, and list all items to which the electronic signature applies. The signature report must be printed and hand signed, dated, and sealed.

The signed and sealed report must be sent along with the electronically signed and sealed file either by hardcopy or electronic scan. (If the signature report is scanned and sent electronically, you must retain the hardcopy as required in Rule 61G15-30.009, F.A.C., Retention of Engineering Documents.)

Please note that while the formatting may be altered, the text located within the text box must remain identical to the examples, and must be placed on the electronic plan sheets and not a part of the electronic signature itself.

Adobe Sign training is available through CDOT's Learning Management System (LMS), SOC Learns, and the CDOT Colleague YouTube Channel. Details about this important training, who should take it, and how to take it can be found below.

CDOT Procedural Directive (PD) 21.1 authorizes the use of Adobe Sign, an electronic signature software program, on CDOT project records. It may be used to review, acknowledge, sign or professionally seal project records, including contract change orders. Especially now during the current COVID-19 situation, the use of Adobe Sign will expedite the electronic exchange, review and execution of documents.

If you are new to Adobe Sign, if you only need to e-sign basic documents, or if you need to e-seal project record sets and your project is using the old templates for e-sealing every record set page, then you should take Adobe Sign Training I. The training explains how to e-sign basic documents and e-seal each page of a record set.
