Digitally Sign without Password

[jomili]

I have to digitally sign tons (20-150) of documents per day.  For every single one of them I have to enter my password to digitally sign.  Is there a way to defeat the password prompt, or just do it once per day?

No.

Actually, that's not entirely true... It is possible to do it, but it requires using a script to locate the signature field (it's easier if you know how it's called) and then sign it using a SecurityHandler object. This script can be attached to a menu item so you could run it with a single click, and it's possible to hard-code the password into it, so you don't need to enter it each time.

Thanks for letting me know there IS a way.  I'm not familiar with Adobe Scripts, nor with a SecurityHandler object.  if you can point me to some resources to learn these things I'd very much appreciate it.

What kind of Digital Id?

[jomili]

When I go into Digital ID files it shows as a .pfx

If you go to Preferences->Signatures->Identities and Trusted Certificates->Digital IDs->Digital ID Files, you can find your .pfx file and Login to it, with the option to stay logged in.

When I follow the path and go into my .PFX file, I get the options of "Usage Options", "Certifcate Details", "Export", "Refresh", and "Remove ID".  Going into the subcategories I don't see anything like "Login".
