Installing a Digital Signature

by | Mar 22, 2024

New Digital Signatures are delivered through email. Please follow these steps to install the signature to your computer.

  1. Open the email containing the digital signature signature.
  2. Download the attached signature file labeled with the name provided on the Digital Signature Application (ie Your_Name.sig).
  3. Select Open when prompted to Open or Save the file.
  4. The Signature Installer window opens confirming that the signature has been installed.
  5. The signature file is now available in the Report program.
Some email services remove extensions from file attachments. The .sig extension on an ACI digital signature associates that file with the Report program. Adding the .sig extension allows Report to recognize and use the signature file.
  1. Open the email containing the digital signature and download the attachment.
  2. Choose Save when prompted to Open or Save the file.
  3. When the Save As window opens, add “.sig” to the end of the filename and save the file to the Desktop.
  4. Double-click the digital signature file on the Desktop. The Signature Installer window opens confirming that the signature has been installed.

Manual Method:  Save your signature file to the Downloads folder and move it directly to the Signatures folder via File Explorer. You can confirm this location by going to Options > Environment > File Locations in ACI Report.

Changing your Digital Signature Password

by | Mar 22, 2024

Digital Signatures are saved locally to your computer. Changing your Signature password on one PC will not update it on another unless it’s part of a shared location.

  1. In ACI Report, go to Tools > Change Signature Password
  2. Select your name from the dropdown list.
  3. Enter the existing signature password.
  4. Click Change Password

Note: Changing your signature password will only affect new reports. Previously signed reports will need to be re-signed for the updated password to take effect. 

How to Create/Delete Print Schemes

by | Mar 22, 2024

Create and save custom printing preferences using Print Schemes. Print Schemes can help you save time. Once a Print Scheme is set up, the scheme is available for future print jobs; the selection of specific pages, number of copies, and overall print copies is not necessary. Custom Schemes are available for use based on the main form type. Example:  If a scheme was created for the Single Family Report Pak, that print scheme will be available for any Report Pak in which the 1004 Single Family 2005 is the main form.
