"Signature field(s) detected" in Adobe reader
I found it quite annoying that a green banner showed up in Adobe reader every time I compiled a pdflatex file. To prevent this green banner from showing up, I found the instruction in this link (http://try67.blogspot.com/2013/05/acrobatreader-disable-sign-pane.html) which suggests a registry trick to set "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\cServices\bEnableEchoSignDetection" to 0. Unfortunately the key was not there on my laptop. I had to create the key and then the value by hand. Note that the latter should be created as a DWORD.

Annoying, yes, but easily cleared just by clicking on the icon on the left end of the bilious green banner that pops up after their peachy-keen new detection algorithm has run and found the string "sign" in the text. Evidently they do not check the document properties at all or they would find that signing is not allowed in most cases.
