More than 7 signers per document

Dear community,

I am currently setting up a document with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (17.12.20098.240878) . I would like to have 9 assigned signature fields associated with 9 people/email addresses. While all this works perfectly fine with up to 7 signers, I  struggle with implementing the total 9. The "participant's role" field lets me select signer, signer1-6 so a total of 7 signatures.Same goes for the "date" field and the associated participant's role. Maybe there is a way to manually implement the missing fields. I have a hard time believing that 7 is the cut-off for the maximal amount of signatures. This is a specific issue I have with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. By using Adobe_sign this issue can be avoided. However, I do like the flexibility and layout in Acrobat Pro DC better (Cambria as a font is useable etc.).

Thank you for your help,

Georg

Is the Sign API implemented in the Adobe Acrobat DC somewhere?

Yes... and No. Acrobat leverages the Sign API to do what it does but, as you've seen, there are limitations to the implementation of the API in Acrobat that wouldn't exist if you developed your own application using the API itself. If you are familiar with using RESTful APIs, this will be easy for you after working your way through a few of the samples plus I can provide a bit of guidance through this forum. If you are not and you have a few dollars to throw at the problem, I do provide consulting services.

You can add more signers and define the order using the Sign API, you'll need an Enterprise license though.

Thank you Joel, I do indeed have an enterprise license. Is the Sign API implemented in the Adobe Acrobat DC somewhere? I haven't found it yet. I know what an API is though.
