I'm afraid, I cannot help here. I've only used Telesec cards in combination with custom software with integrated support for them. In context with Acrobat I assume that you do need a PKCS#11 module but I don't have any hands-on experience to share. ... View more

There are some errors in your file. In particular the startxref value is incorrect and the xref keyword is not on a line by itself as it should be. (There may be other errors, too, but these leapt to the eye.) You should fix the PDF and try again.   PS: The value entry in the ref field object is completely broken: /V <FEFF00540044002D0032002D0041002D003300310030002D00300033>ref])     ... View more

This appears to be a bug Adobe has to fix in their product. If they cannot fix it quickly, you may consider using different PDF form filling software for the time being.  ... View more

PDF/A requires that you have an OutputIntent if you use an uncalibrated color space. Thus, you will need to look out for an ICC profile (to put into your DestOutputProfile) with the characteristics you want. Unfortunately I'm not really into that subject and cannot recommend anything. ... View more

Indeed, just like @Tariq Ahmad Dar said, this is pure guesswork without inspecting the file itself. In addition to the options he gave there obviously also are the options of an error in the PDF or of a bug in one program or the other. ... View more

I remember having once seen issues in this context if an outline entry pointed to a high-level structure element (I don't remember if it was in a Dest or in a SE entry). When visually signing a tagged PDF, iText adds (or at least used to add) structure elements for the signature widget appearance, and if those added structure elements were underneath a structure element pointed to by an outline entry, Acrobat considered this a disallowed change. ...

Das ist eigentlich nicht logisch. Acobat kann sehr wohl PDF/A Seiten darstellen. Wenn allerdings die Seiten fehlerhaft sind, könnte es sein, dass Dein Reader diesen Fehler ignoriert oder eben nicht. Mit welchen Programmen wurden denn die unterschiedlichen Seiten denn erstellt, und welches Program hat sie denn zusammengeführt? ... View more

I am having the same issue. The Italian government website I am using requires a pdf to be signed with a CADES certificate, with the file extension p7m, but I can't get Adobe to create this. Is there a workaround in another app?   ... View more

Hi @hevin_7295,    In addition to what @MikelKlink asked and described.  You can visit this Help document: https://adobe.ly/3QYyDpR that describes how the validation works.    In short, if the certificate was created locally on the machine and is local to the system, the signature validation can't happen on the second machine.      ~Tariq ...

Hello,   I hope you're doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble.   The difference between "Final Test Report" and "Final Audit Report" in Adobe Acrobat Sign’s "Configure Written Proof" settings relates to the type of compliance documentation generated: Final Audit Report: This is the detailed audit trail included in the Certificate of Completion (CoC). It logs all transactional events (e.g., signer actions, timestamps, IP addresses) for compliance with standards like eIDAS. Required for legal validity in regulated industries.  Final Test Report: Likely a legacy or testing-related report (not standard terminology in current Adobe docs). It may refer to a summary or test output used during configuration validation, but it does not replace the audit trail needed for compliance. See these articles for more information: Agreement Activity log and Audit Report, and Agreement history and audit report   The term "final test report" (abschließender Testbericht) might be used in specific contexts, such as developer accounts or internal testing, and is not a standard term found in Adobe's official documentation. If the document in question does not have a Transaction ID and uses "Testbericht" instead of "Prüfbericht," it might indicate a non-standard or internal document. If you wish to share your feedback, please use this URL to share your feedback with the product team.   I hope this helps. Thanks, Anand Sri. ... View more

True, this "protection" is far from safe. However, if you apply a file-open password (different than the file-edit one, of course) then it would be much more difficult to remove. Not impossible, though. ... View more

Here is how I solved the issue. Print the PDF as "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Printer: section instead of selecting a printer in your network/your own printer name. Then select a forder to save the PDF. That eventually leads you to save PDF file popup screen. Good luck!! ... View more

That's quite annoying.  I have contracts signed between my company and Company A.  And contracts between my company and Company B.  Company B needs to be aware that I have a contract with A and understand certain details and see the signatire line and who signed it, but they cannot see certain information that is in the contract with A.  So I need to redact certain parts. This is common in buinsesses involving construction, subcontractors, landlords, etc.  ... View more

By the looks of that none of the digital signature fields have been signed (as far as Acrobat is concerned). There appears to be an image of an ink signature positioned in the "approved by" signature field position.   For an actual analysis the PDF itself is needed. ... View more
