Delete Page on Signature

I want to delete the first page of the document, once the document is signed.

I have tried using a script in the "This script executes when field is signed":

this.deletePages();

I have also tried creating a script for "On Blur" in the signature field:

var f = this.getField("Requestor Signature");

var status = f.signatureValidate();

if (status > 2) {

this.deletePages();

}

Neither has worked.

What you're trying to do is not possible, due to the reasons mentioned above. You might not like it, but that's how it works.

Yeah, I ended up putting a "delete page" button at the top of the page and providing instructions to delete the first page using the button before submitting.

Thanks.

try67 - Thank you for providing a clear response.

Test Screen Name - Maybe you should be clearer, instead of going into "spirit" and other nonsense. A simple and useful response, like try67 would have saved us both time. Nobody needs a philosophy lesson when trying to create some simple code.

I do, sometimes.

Your proposal is impossible and ill-informed, but do I complain?

Editing a document destroys a digital signature. And it is completely against the rules/spirit/design/intention of signatures to allow pages to be deleted after a signature, since it might be changing the meaning of a contract.

Your response is complete unhelpful and useless.

I am dealing with an internal company form. The first page is instructions. After the document is signed and sent to the receiving department the receiving department does not need the instructions.
