issue with signature field

issue with signature field

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

some time ago, Hans implemented signature fields:

    \setupinteraction[state=start]
    \starttext
    \definefield[x][signature]
    \field[x]
    \stoptext

I’m afraid I’m not able to sign it using Acrobat 9.5.5, which is the
latest version released for Linux.

Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 is able to sign this document:
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11678 (and
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11707).

I guess it may not be the cause, but which is the way to force the
document to be written in PDF version 1.6?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I only have an old acrobat x pro and reader dc and both open the 
document. I never used signature fields so I have no clue what to expect 
anyway.

Alternatives are a reader for android (quite ok, of course you need a
decent android device)
or under linux Wine +  latest Reader for  windows (crossing the fingers)

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

If you click inside the signature field, a dialog will pop up.

You may use a signature (such as http://acrobat.ousia.tk/JohnDoe.pfx).
The password is "123456".

After sending my original message, I analyzed the contents of the file
that Acrobat for Linux is able to sign. The issue seems to be (or I
think it is) different default settings.

But I need to investigate this further.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Luigi.

I’m afraid I might be an indecent user, because I only have real
computers (no mobile devices).

In that case, I’d rather use Windows at work.

But many thanks for your suggestions,


Pablo
