Hi,

I dont have digital signature certificate and private/public key. Could any body let me know if i can create a temporary digital signature certificate. If yes, Please describe me the procedure to create a digital signature.

I dont know how to use it and configure using adobe admin console.Please let me know how can i configure it.

Please provide me some reference guide to know more on this.

If you have Acrobat Pro you can create a "self-signed" digital certificate (public\private key pair).  If not here are other utilities available such as Open SSL, or makecert.exe on Windows...  (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bfsktky3%28v=vs.80%29.aspx)

Hi Steve,

Thanks for prompt reply.. I have trial version of acrobate pro. Can the certificate be created using trial version. If yes, then please let me know the steps/procedure to create the required certificate

Thanks

1)  Launch Acrobat Pro

2)  Select Tools > Sign & Certify > More Sign and Certify > Security Settings  (see attached screen shot)

3)  In the resulting dialog select Digital IDs > Add ID > a new Digital ID I want to create now (see attached screen shot)

4)  Click Next

5)  Select "New PKCS#12 digital id file"

6) Complete the remaining wizard steps

Thanks Steve.

I have created a certicate with adobe pro. and configure the certificate using admin console with alias name in local credentials.

Now on the workbench when i use "Sign Signature Field" activity, i could see alias in "signining credential". I am providing a reader extended file to this activity. when i select option "use spi" i get the following error

Because you are stroring the credential in the Trust Store, you cannot use the "Use SPI" option so you can deselect iut and we can ignore the error that it generates.

As for the error you receive when this option is deselected...

Focus on...

Caused by:  com.adobe.livecycle.signatures.client.types.exceptions.InvalidArgumen  tException: ALC-DSS-301-002 The value null for argument credential.alias  (of type {2}) is invalid. (in the operation : getCredentialFromFactory)
Caused By: PKI Generic Runtime Exception:  Cannot have a null or empty  credential (in the operation :  createCredential)(TruststoreCredentialFactory.java37)
at  com.adobe.livecycle.signatures.service.impl.DocumentSecurityService.g  etCredentialFromFactory(DocumentSecurityService.java:1291)

Double check that the credential was imported properly into the Trust Store.  Did you select "Signing Credential" when you inmported it (as opposed to Reader Extension option).

Does the "alias" you configured appear in the alias drop list of the "Sign Signature Field" operation properties?  See screen shot.

Can you sign the PDF with the credential if you do it manually using Acrobat (or Reader)?  This will tell you if the credential itself is ok.

If you try a PDF that has not been Reader Extended with your process does it work?

How was the PDF you are using Reader Extended?  With Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions?
