I use Acrobat PRO DC.

How can I create a PDF form --> signature that is only signed one time and appears on all following pages.

My customer wants to have a signature on all pages, but it is impossible to sign and save the document on/for all the pages.

The function "Duplicate field on all pages" does not work for signature fields.

Thank you in advance.

It seems like there is no way to get thru this. I have been searching for ways of doing this to no avail. What people don't understand is that all pages are required to have the signature. If you don't have a solution, don't judge.

I could also use this too, as I get my document ready (anywhere from 200-400 pages) that are all the same except for the info on each (an output from a database basically) and need a signature from different people. I would like to get the file ready in one big step, then use extract pages as files to split it up and save each file. This would save me from opening 400 files and adding a signature field to each.

It's not possible, nor needed, nor desired. A digital signature applies to the file as a whole, not just to the page on which it is located.

@MVP: It would be nice if you wouldn't judge what is needed for me, thx.

I understand what you want so say and how a digital signature works principially.

Unfortunately in industry signed documents by one party are printed, stamped/signed and scanned again by the next party and so on.

So it is needed to have at least a picture of the signature on page 1 on all following pages, because otherwise the documents pages beginning from page 2 seem to be unsigned.

Please do not require me to change the document workflow of my customers.

Thankyou for understanding.

Unless you use a very special plugin, the moment you print out a digital signature it becomes nothing more than a nice image.

If that's what you're doing, don't bother using it at all. Just stick with regular hand-written ones, which you can insert as images.
