Adobe acrobat reader 7.0 User Manual

 

You can specify how your signature appears in the signature field. For example, you can 
include an image of your company logo. When you use an image in a signature, only the 
image is used, not the white space around it. The image is cropped and scaled to fit in the 
signature field. 

1.  Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac OS), and 

then select Security. 

2.  Click New.
3.  In the Configure Signature Appearance dialog box, type a title for the signature 

appearance. (When you sign a document, you select the signature by its title, so use a 
short title that accurately describes the signature.)

4.  Select one of the following in the Configure Graphic section to define the signature's 

appearance:

●     

No Graphic displays only the default digital signature icon and other information specified 
by the Configure Text options.

●     

Imported Graphic displays a graphic signature that you specify. Click the File button, 
click the Browse button, choose the graphic file type from the Files Of Type menu, select 
a graphic, click Select, and then click OK (Windows) or Select (Mac OS).

Note: The Palm Organizer button is unavailable unless Palm OS® appearance files are 
detected. (See 

.)

●     

Name displays only the default digital signature icon and your name as it appears in your 
digital ID file.

5.  In the Configure Text section, select any text items you want to appear in the signature. 

Distinguished Name shows the user attributes defined in your Digital ID, including your 
name, organization, and country.

1.  In the Preferences dialog box, select Security on the left. 
2.  Do one of the following:

●     

To edit a signature appearance, select its title, and click Edit. 

●     

To delete a signature appearance, select its title, and then click Delete.
