RE: PDF Signing for multiple parties

Don't do any of that. That document was created in something called LiveCycle Designer, so it's not a "normal" PDF file, and secured to prevent changes to it that aren't acceptable. I didn't see any mention of digital signatures anywhere in the USCIS's website, so I'm inclined to believe they only accept hand-written ones. See: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-b-chapter-2

They sure aren't making it easy to understand how it needs to be filled in... I agree this can very well be intentional. I had to follow three links just trying to figure out what kind of signature they want and how the file should be submitted. Since it seems it needs to be submitted by mail, I would print it out and sign it by hand. But in order to be 100% sure, you should contact them directly (there's info in the document itself on how to do that), and ask. Good luck!

try67

Use this code, then: var checkboxField = this.getField("TestBox"); var checkField = false; for (var i=1; i<=30; i++) { var num = (i < 10 ? "0" + i : i); var price = Number(this.getField("Price" + num).valueAsString); if (price>100) {checkField = true; break;} } checkboxField.checkThisBox(0, checkField);

try67

Better yet, share the (original) file with us. It should contain instructions on what kind of signature they want on it. If no other option is available then you should print it out and sign it by hand. Do NOT modify the document by adding fields or anything like that to it. It could cause it to be rejected immediately and in some cases can even be illegal.

That won't work, I'm afraid. If you have a HD failure, for example, you won't be able to restore Acrobat from your backup to a new drive and still have it be activated. It has to be on the same physical computer. Even changing the motherboard will break the activation.

You won't be able to activate it on the new computer, regardless of whether you deactivated it on the old one. Adobe discontinued the activation servers for older versions, unfortunately.

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

You need to provide more details, such as: What version of Acrobat? Does the application open by itself, without any files? Does it open files if you go to File - Open? Drag them into it? Double-click them? What happens when the file fails to open? Is there an error message? etc.

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

Older versions of Acrobat can no longer be activated, unfortunately.

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

Without commenting on the issues you had and your concerns, I truly hope you didn't create your book directly as a PDF file. If so, that is definitely NOT how it's supposed to be done. Also, I hope you had more than one copy of it... You didn't back it up at any point?

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

Never post serial numbers online! It's a great way to get them stolen, and eventually blocked... I removed them from your post for you, although it might be too late.

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

Why are you using the Sanitize Document command? What are you trying to achieve with it?

try67 · ‎May 11, 2025

Contact your bank and/or credit card company and have them block the payment. I removed the private information you posted above.

try67 · ‎May 10, 2025

Via the Help menu, normally, but why bother? You won't be able to activate it on another computer, since Adobe discontinued the activation servers entirely for older versions.

try67 · ‎May 10, 2025

How did you change it? What tool did you use?

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

You should cancel your card regardless if someone was able to use it without you knowing about it.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

They should use a comment or image field, not Fill & Sign or a digital signature.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

It should work fine with an Acrobat form. You don't need Acrobat Sign for this. And it shouldn't matter how the file is sent. The main issue is where it is opened and filled-in. That is what you need to make sure is consistent.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

Yes, that's the tool, and this link should work: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

It can be done if the Mail Merge is performed using a script, like this (paid-for) tool I've developed that allows you to do just that (and much more, such as automatically email the merged files to recipients): https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-mail-merge-and-email-pdf-files

Adobe's FTP site has been down for a while, possibly for good.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

You can't transfer Acrobat. You must uninstall it now, or delete it, and then re-install it from scratch.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

Adobe keeps renaming things, annoyingly. The Pro version is now just "Acrobat". If it says "Acrobat Standard" or "Acrobat Reader" then it's not Pro. Otherwise, it should be.

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

PS. I removed the file you shared since it contains your private contact details. If you don't want your details to be stolen, don't post them online!

try67 · ‎May 09, 2025

Report the issue to your bank and/or credit-card company. If you didn't initiate the subscription then someone has a hold of your CC details and are using it to buy things.

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

What's the exact version number of the application (You can find it out by going to Help - About Adobe Acrobat)? What's your OS version? Does this happen with any files you're trying to merge? Try two very simple and small files you created yourself in Acrobat. Does it work then?

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

The main question is how are they opening the file? What device, and what application on that device, are they using?

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

Could be due to the change to Daylight Saving Time (depending on your locale). That is the problem with using the method described above to changing dates, as there's an extra hour in that day (and one less in the opposite date, where it falls back to Winter Time), so it doesn't "switch over" correctly. It's better to use the setDate method of the Date object, instead.

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

No. You must give each one a unique value. It can even by "1" and "1.0", "1.00", etc., though.

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

Did you perhaps sign the file at any point? If not, it should still be editable in Reader, just like it was before. Make sure you're not opening it in any other applications, though.

try67 · ‎May 08, 2025

Quotation marks. It probably happened if you use an application like Word for writing the code, as it tends to do that automatically (unless you tell it not to). It's better to use a plain-text editor for your code. If you're on Windows, I highly recommend the free (and open-source) Notepad++.
