Submitting filled and electronically signed PDFs, and saving them to the cloud

Question

I have various different fillable pdf forms that need to be completed and electronically signed (real electronic signature) by users.  The users that are going to be doing this are not tech savvy, so the process needs to be very simple – just present the form to the users to type in the fields and hit submit.  Subsequently, the completed and signed forms then need to be saved to cloud based storage such as a Box or OneDrive folder.  I tried creating a web app to render the pdf to the user’s browser, however, the submit button on the pdf doesn’t work in a browser.  According to other posts I've read it looks like this is still an issue and is not going to be resolved.  Does anyone know of an alternative solution?  Thank you very kindly in advance.

both acrobat and reader have a Sign Yourself tool.  This can be used to place a signature anywhere on the PDF. I believe that Topaz has a signature pad that will work with Acrobat.

Use an Adobe Sign form. You don't need to pay for the basic service. It comes with Acrobat. Use the Prepare Forms tools to create a form, then send it for signatures. You'll need a login on the sign site. If you purchased Adobe CC for Acrobat then its the same login.
