Retrieve attributes from a signature?

Avatar

Level 2

I would like to get the end-user's name out of a digital signature (i.e., subject's name on the signature) while executing the postSign script, so that I can transcribe into a text field elsewhere in the document. I've spent hours surfing to find a solution for this. Is there a way to do it? Thanks for reading.

Look in the Acrobat scripting reference at the signature objct. I am quite certain that it is exposed through that object.

Thanks, that source of information worked out for me. For the benefit of others, here is the Adobe Javascript Scripting Reference document he identifed:

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/AcroJS.pdf

... and then the help I was looking for is the desciption of SignatureInfo object. In the Livecycle javascript in my form, I can now go to the desired username attribute as follows

var digSig = event.target.getField ("MyForm[0]...MyPathstuff [0]...Signature [0]");

digSig.signatureValidate ();

If successful...

var sigInfo= digSig.signatureInfo (); // Gets SignatureInfo object

var sSigner = sigInfo.name;
