Overview of Signature control Control in a report The Signature control is a report control used to sign: - the reports generated as PDF.
- the report duplicates.
This Signature control is used to implement 2 types of signatures: - Approval signature: An approval signature is a Numerical signature applied to a document.. A PDF document can contain several successive approval signatures, perform with the relevant software. When the document contains an approval signature, a bar with a green checkmark is displayed in Adobe Acrobat.
- Certification signature: Compared with approval signatures, certification signatures guarantee a higher level of document control.. When the document is certified, a blue bar with a certification icon is displayed in Adobe Acrobat.
Creating a Signature control To create a Signature control: - Display (if necessary) a report in the report editor.
- In the "Creation" pane, in the "Certificate" group, pull down "Signature" and select the type of signature to be created: approval or certification signature.
- Click where you want to create the control.
To view the characteristics of the control, select "Description" in the context menu. Note: only one signature field can be created in a report.. Characteristics of Signature controls The Signature control can be configured in the editor via its description window. The main control characteristics are available in the "General" tab: - Type of signature: Type of signature to generate: approval or certification signature.
Note: The signature type can be programmatically modified using the SignatureType property.. - Label: Label displayed in the Signature field. This caption can contain information about the person who signed the report for example.
Note: It is possible to modify the signature wording programmatically using the Caption property.. - Image: Image displayed in the Signature field.
Note: The signature image can be programmatically modified using the Image property.. - Default certificate: Certificate used to sign the report. The different certificates installed on the current computer are proposed.
Note: The certificate used for the programmed signature can be modified using the Certificate property..
Remarks: - The caption and the image are optional information.
- If the Signature control is invisible (option available in the "UI" tab of the description window), the generated PDF report (or the duplicate) will not be signed.
- If the certificate associated with the Signature control is not found, the generated PDF report (or the duplicate) will not be signed.
- Attention: For a signed PDF file to be recognized by Acrobat, the organization issuing the signature certificate must be a member of the AATL list (Adobe Authorized Trust List) or the CDS (Certified Document Services) program..
If the certificate is not recognized, Acrobat will display the following message: "At least one signature has problems".
