Digital Signing of XFA forms

[Brendan440]

We recently rolled out PDF-Xchange Plus to replace an aging Adobe Acrobat installation. A user now has an XFA form that she used to "sign" that XChange won't allow. I get a "Digital signing is not supported for documents that contain XFA forms".

However, if I open this form in a different reader, say Foxit PDF Reader, I am able to digitally sign the form with no problem. Is there a way around this?

Hello Brendan,

XFA is a difficult (adobe proprietary) format to work in, and depending on what aspects of it are used, certain features are disabled in the Editor. For the time being, we cannot support signing of XFA documents due to the difficulties imposed by the format, as signing improperly could damage the document. In the future we plan to offer this, but I cannot provide a timeline just yet.

If you could send us a copy of an XFA form you are trying to sign, we can use it in our investigations, to help with the process.

Kind regards,

Ah ok. Thank you for the information. Should I just post a copy of the document here?

If there is no sensitive information you could certainly post it here.

If there is any sensitive information in the document, I would instead suggest emailing us via support@pdf-xchange.com with a link to this post.

Kind regards,
