Also: A user was having issues signing stuff and I tried to utilize this guide:

However, I am not seeing any of the options next to the sign button. This is a picture of what we are seeing:

 

 I still cannot figure out how we can sign documents nad create a signature. Any help would be appreciated.

Why do you want to use a digital certificate?  This is not the same as a persons ink signature on a document. 

If you don't already understand how digital certificates work, then I would suggest using the "Fill & Sign > Self Sign" tool.  This tool provides a wet signature, which is more or less the same as an ink signature on paper.
