fill and digitally sign pdf forms

Akanchha,

Thanks for the information. My next question would be: How can a form that is non fillable due to only having reader become fillable? I would think that someone with property permissions or full software access can set the form to allow fill and sign for those that only have reader. I know this is true as I've been able to fill and sign some forms but not others with just reader. 

Thank you,

Hector

Hey there!

Thanks for well explaining the issue. 

In your initial post, you actually answered this query as well. It rarely matters whether you are using Acrobat DC or freeware Reader DC for applying signature. 

What matters is, whether your document's security allows to sign it or not. Documents which are not allowed to Fill & Sign would not let you to apply signature, because its secured while creating them.

You can only Fill & Sign the PDFs whose document properties allows to do so. 

Thanks,

Akanchha 

Let me move this to the Acrobat Reader forum for you, where you are more likely to receive an answer to your question.
