Signature Field- Non-Digital Signature, Handwritten and Auto-Scale

Hello,

My client is looking for an easier way to sign documents as the current Fill and Sign option is a little tedious.  Currently, Fill & Sign is producing small signatures and the client needs to resize them to fit the signature section in the PDF, specifically when using the Handwritten option, and then move it around to their liking.

Is there a way to add a signature field that brings up a prompt similar to the Fill & Sign and then automatically scale the signature to the size of the field?

And if Adobe Reader/Acrobat can't do that, does anyone know of any alternatives or addons that will?

Kinda figured.  In the end I told the client to use the Comment feature and to use the Draw free hand tool.  Works as needed.

Seeing that adobe takes you through 14 steps to get a tablet with a stylus to sign a pdf document, will the comment box save the signature? We have a terrible ehr system that all forms are just PDFs uploaded with a submit button you have to create to upload the document back into their archaic system and adobe only supports topaz sig pads...digital signatures are okay if you don’t have a tablet but when multiple patients need to sign a document it’s not very productive...it would be nice if there was a way for when you click on the signature box it opens a choice for digital certificate sig or draw...because that would be practical
