PDF form not being read only in Acrobat Reader

I'm looking to see if there is a fix to a problem with a form that needs to be signed but multiple people (3). When you use the fill and sign option after sending the form all of the date fields are locked or not functional. The next two signers are not able to edit the form to add a date. Both people have Acrobat reader only.

Is it possible not to have the form go read-only automatically after signing?

I have Adobe Pro, but some users may be using just Adobe Reader. Once I use the fill and sign option, it locks the form off.

This is correct. When you use Fill & Sign and sign the form it will locks the form.

Add signature fields to the form and use Tools > Certificates.

Good Morning:

I didn't want to use adobe sign because we have a large and diverse workforce that could use this form and might be too technical for some users.
