Is it possible to use a Action Button to trigger "Fill & Sign" ?

The signature field requires a pre-existing digital ID certificate and its associated password.

Fill & Sign requires just a few clics.

Why use Fill & Sign if you have a signature field? It would be better to sign using the field directly.

Hi @ngs69318288 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

To add an action button to a signature field in Adobe Acrobat that triggers the "Fill & Sign" tool, you can follow these steps and see if that works.

1. Open your PDF document in Adobe Acrobat.

2. Select the "Prepare Form" tool from the right pane. If you don't see this option, you may need to enable the "Prepare Form" tool by going to "View" > "Tools" > "Prepare Form."

3. Locate the signature field in your PDF where you want to add the action button.

4. Right-click on the signature field, and select "Properties."

5. In the "Properties" dialog box, go to the "Options" tab.

6. Check the "Read-only" option to ensure that users can only interact with the signature field through the action button.

7. Go to the "Actions" tab in the "Properties" dialog box.

8. Click the "Add" button to add a new action.

9. In the "Select Action" dialog box, choose "Run a JavaScript" from the "Select Action" dropdown menu.

10. Click the "Add" button in the "JavaScript Editor" dialog box to create a new JavaScript action.

11. Enter the following JavaScript code into the editor:

// JavaScript to trigger "Fill & Sign" tool
app.execMenuItem("FillSignMenuItem");

This code uses the app.execMenuItem method to trigger the "Fill & Sign" tool.

12. Click "OK" to close the "JavaScript Editor."

13. Click "Close" to close the "Properties" dialog box.

14. Save your PDF document.

Now, when users click on the signature field, the "Fill & Sign" tool will be triggered automatically.

Hope this helps
