Adobe Reader 2017 Signature function

[Jan_Walldorf]

Dear Community,

we want to use the signature function in Adobe Reader 2017 and are trying to make the signature available on every pc on the local network. So the goal is to save the data on a network drive but since now I did not have success.

- The first thing I tried is to link the files which are overwritten if you set a new signature. They are located in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\2017\Security\reader_fss_signature_xxxx". (I think so) but Adobe creats new ones after that.

- An introduction from Adobe said there is a file named directories.data in which you set network drive location but I got no file like this on my computer and I got no idea how the structure of the file should be.

- I tried to find some settings in Adobe Customization Wizard and create a new msi for the installation

My question: Is it possible to save the setting of the signature function global on a network drive and do you got an idea how to do that?

Thank you.

Greetings Jan

I don't think I understand what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to allow multiple different people to sign with the same certificate? Or just validate each other's certificates? Or allow roaming users to have their signatures roam personally with them? Or something else?

The idea is to scan your signature once get it in Adobe Reader and save it so you could sign a document with your name under it.

When I change the computer in my company I want to use the same signature I set up on an other computer.

We want every employee  to set up his own signature.

I hope it got a little bit more clear what I mean.
