issue with signature field
Dear list, some time ago, Hans implemented signature fields: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \definefield[x][signature] \field[x] \stoptext I’m afraid I’m not able to sign it using Acrobat 9.5.5, which is the latest version released for Linux. Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 is able to sign this document: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11678 (and https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11707). I guess it may not be the cause, but which is the way to force the document to be written in PDF version 1.6? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Many thanks for your reply, Hans. If you click inside the signature field, a dialog will pop up. You may use a signature (such as http://acrobat.ousia.tk/JohnDoe.pfx). The password is "123456". After sending my original message, I analyzed the contents of the file that Acrobat for Linux is able to sign. The issue seems to be (or I think it is) different default settings. But I need to investigate this further. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I’m afraid I’m not able to sign it using Acrobat 9.5.5, which is the latest version released for Linux. Alternatives are a reader for android (quite ok, of course you need a decent android device) or under linux Wine + latest Reader for windows (crossing the fingers)

Many thanks for your reply, Luigi. I’m afraid I might be an indecent user, because I only have real computers (no mobile devices).

In that case, I’d rather use Windows at work. But many thanks for your suggestions, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
