Adobe Acrobat Pro Error Message related to field typ

Question

I have a PDF form, after preparing the form, I have two fields that will utilize signatures and the fields are setup with teh Digital Signaure Properties of EMPLOYEE_SIGNATURE and EMPLOYEE_SIGNATURE DATE. This information is listed on page 1 and again on page 2 of the document. Unformtunately, on page 2 of the document, I am getting the message of 'A field of a different type already uses this name. Please choose a new name for the field, or change the field type to match the existing field with this name.' When looking at the field, and right clicking on the properties tab, I am not seeing an option to change the field type.

Digital signatures apply to the whole document, always. It is a misunderstanding and/or design error to try and sign each page (typically because it's trying to emulate a paper workflow). The design needs to be changed, and the way signatures are checked should be reviewed (it is a serious failure to be looking at pages to check digital signatures, this is wide open to fraud).
