Reader and Signature Fields

[Former Community Member]

I work for ConnDOT, we are progressively moving towards PDF for our Engineering Drawings. Can you offer some help or direction how to get the digital signature form field operational in Reader? I know how to create a field in Acrobat Pro, but the digital signature field does not work with reader, yet the Reader help instructions says it can. Would we need a third party digital id server to manage the digital id's or could we manage digital id's internally?

Hello, in order to add a signature in Reader, you must use Reader Extension server. This product enables features in Reader that aren't normally available; saving data for example.

Hi,



download this "enabled" sample document and navigate to the last page. The signature field there should work OK with Reader.
