How to have the digital signature tied to other fields that are required to be filled in first

Question

Hello Can someone help me figure out how to tie the signature block to other fields (cells) that need to be filled out?

I have 7 fields that need to be filled out before a digital signature can happen. Can I get the digital signature block to give me an error message unless all the Cells are filled in first? Once the cells are filled in the error message will not appear and will allow for the signature to go through.

I would hide the signature field and only make it available once all required fields are filled in and contain valid data. To do that, I would add a hidden and read-only field to the document, and use it's calculation script to trigger the visibility of the signature field. When you search for whole document validation on this site, chances are you will find scripts that handle the validation part, and then it's just setting the display property of the signature field.
