Question

Multiple Repeated Signatures in Adobe Form

Hi Community:

I have some questions about automating certain activities on a form that we've created.  My VP has asked me to determine if what we want to do with SIGNATURES can be done.

Attached is only one example of many forms we use that are setup this way.  The forms are accessed in the field (sometimes with spotty or no internet/cell service).  The forms requires signatures after choosing a name from the corresponding dropdown list.

 

What the C-Suite would like to see, is the following:

  • A name is selected from the dropdown list
  • The signature field corresponding to that name is autofilled with either:
    • A picture of the persons signature
    • An E-Signature
    • A Digital ID

 

So my questions are:

  • Can this be done with any of the signature options?
  • If it can be done, what's the best one to choose for our implementation?
  • HOW would I want to implment this?  I'm assuming Javascript of some sort?

 

Thank you in advance for any help!!

Doing it with a picture is possible, but the image has to be either pre-embedded in the PDF file as the icon of a button field, or located in a known location so it can be imported. The latter also requires installing a script on the local machine of each user.

Doing it with a signature field is possible, but quite complex, and also requires installing a script file on the local computer.
