Signature Field

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to make a field in indesign, exported to an interactive PDF, where the user of the PDF can input his or her signature, as an actual drawing they make with their mouse cursor. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

Steve, more precisely one should perhaps say that you cannot create a signature that the OP is asking for where you draw in your signature. But of course, a regular signature field in an interactive PDF can be created in InDesign.

You cannot create a signature field in InDesign. You can create one in Acrobat Pro. Please ask in this forum:
