Combination of digital signature and typed signature?

[rickwtexas]

I've created a client agreement for a company, and they want the signature area to be either a digital signature or a typed one - I can create either easily - but I've never done an either/or in the same field. Is this even possible with acrobat?

Thanks (and I did a few searches here and googled, maybe I'm not posing the question correctly).... so:

Scenario: A rep clicks in the signature field and they have the opportunity to use thier saved - digital signature or just type thier name.

No, it's not possible. What you can do, though, is add two overlapping fields (a Signature field for a digital signature and a text field for just typing one's name), and a radio-button group with two options above them, allowing the user to select which one they want to use. A script would then show the relevant field (and hide the other one).

Thanks! Not that I can write a script, but at least I know now. I'll just recommend a "times italic" type signature.

The script is actually quite simple. If you decide you want to do it, I could help you write it.

If you could I really should at least try. I could email you the page in question, but I can't pay a lot this is a freelance client.

Here you go...

THANKS AGAIN! (I did upvote)... question. It works perfectly in Acrobat, but not within Outlook online (regular signture works, but not digital). I assume its a matter of Microsoft only creating a very basic preview of a pdf. Do you know of any work arounds? I tried googling this but not finding an exact solution.
