Error saving PDF using FIPS

  • December 3, 2018

All,

I am currently trying to use an old (2011) PDF form that was generated using Password Security.  Our network requires the use of FIPS which will not allow me to make any changes to this form and save my work.

I am required to fill out this form, digitally sign the document and send it on to the next individual for their review and digital signature.

Is there anyway to accomplish this or will I have to generate a new form that does not use Password Security which is not allowed using FIPS?

Thanks in advance.

Additional Info:

Version: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2019.008.20081

Security Method: Password Security

Encryption Level: 128 bit AES

FIPS enabled

V/r,

    I think you'd have to first remove the password security. You'd need the password for this. You'd then have an unsecured document that and could use FIPS -compatible certificate-based security and digital signatures. If you're not able to remove the password security somehow, it would seem you're out-of-luck and would have to recreate the form.

    You should be able to use Adobe Reader to complete and sign forms, the problem seems to be with Pro.

    George,

    Thank you for the link.  I have looked over the FIPS mode changes.  I understand that I can not use any documents that have been created using Password Enabled Security measures.

    I am trying to find out if there is a way to sign this document (I believe the answer is no if FIPS is enabled due to the Password Security).  And if the answer is no, is there any other way to use this document or do I have to throw it out and re-create it using a different form of security?

    Thanks
