Using Adobe Pro, is there the possibility of sometimes signing digitally and other times simply signing electronically with a typed signature?

    You need to explain what you mean by either term. What's the difference between a digital signature and an "electronic signature"?

    My co-workers would rather I simply type in my name and forward to the next person rather than signing with a digital certificate.  I believe when I sign with the digital certificate, it locks the next person out and they are unable to sign.

     

    I apologize.  I am new to this process.

    When I created the digital certificate, I no longer have the option to type my name using the "Place Signature" function under Fill & Sign Tools.  It only gives me the option to "Drag New Signature Rectangle" where it then places the digital certificate and locks others out.
