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?
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.
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.

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".
