Dov, The reason we want our colleagues to upgrade to Reader 8.0, which is the only software they have on their systems, is because the digital signature function doesn't work in Reader 7.0. I created a form in Acrobat Professional 7.0 with a digital signature field. The other Tech Writers, who have 7.0 Pro as well, can open the form, create a digital signature for themselves and sign the form.
People who only have Reader 7.0 cannot sign the form. I was told by a customer service Rep at Adobe that once they get Reader 8.0, they'll be able to sign the forms I created in 7.0 Pro. Is this true?

This is a good time, though, to repeat my warning that you should not attempt to have either multiple versions of Acrobat, multiple versions of Reader, and/or mixtures of Acrobat and Reader installed on a given system. Although it is possible to coerce the installers to do that, it is neither endorsed nor supported by Adobe. Many, many problems that we hear about with regards to anything PDF ultimately get traced to attempts to have anything more than one version of Acrobat or of Reader installed on one system. In some cases problems occur as the result of not fully uninstalling previous versions or following the explicit directions of the uninstaller to reboot as part of the uninstall procedure. Failure to reboot in a timely fashion results in not all the old version of Acrobat being fully and properly uninstalled. Further note: There are incompatibilities between Acrobat 8 and FrameMaker 7.x "save as PDF" primarily due to Acrobat 8 storing joboption files in a different location and manner than Acrobat 7. An Adobe Tech Note will come out about this at some point. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: Gillian Flato > Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 9:12 AM > To: framers at FrameUsers.com > Subject: Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0 > > Anyone know when this is being released?
