Can I create a PDF with signature field that can be sent out by someone who doesn't have Acrobat Pro

I got Acrobat Pro so I can update some business forms to have people sign electronically. I created it and it works great for me. There are a few others who may need to send this form out to people to sign. But I can't see a way for them to send the form out for a signature unless they have Acrobat Pro as well. Is there a way for them to do it by only having the free Reader version?

Users of Acrobat Reader can send the form per email.

How would they do that? The only option I can see for the signature field is to select the Request E-Signature option, which is only available in the Acrobat Pro version.

Use the "Request E-Signatures" tool in Acrobat. The user will recieve an email that links to a webpage where they can sign the form. All without any PDF viewers. It's all done through the web.
