Creation of this signature could not be completed.
Unexpected Internal Program Error

I have tried a repair on the software using the acrobat CD but it is still then same

Hi Chris,

The signitures at my company are self signed. I got the same error in Adobe 6. I made another Digital ID for the new supervisor and the error went away.

In Adobe:
Advanced, Mange Digital IDs, My Digital ID, Add,
Click to create a self signed Digital ID, Continue, fill in the required info, create

Then: Advanced, Mange Digital IDs, My Digital ID, Add, Click Here to Browse for an Existing ID file.

Make sure that View hidden files and folders is ON: Control panel, folder options

Using windows XP I found the new digital ID at: C:/Documents and Settings/yourUSERNAME/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/6.0/Security

After pointing Adobe to the ID I could then sign as that ID. If you use a more secure third party signature then you'll probably have to talk to the company that manages your signatures.
