How to Add Signature Boxes on Forms in Acrobat

Question

Hello Brains-Trust ...I am looking to create an expense form template that requires the signature of the employee, their manager and an accounts payable representative. I have created the form in Word and have saved as a PDF. I have run the 'Prepare Form' feature to detect the form fields. What are my next steps to add the three (3) different signature lines?  As this form is a template and will be filled out by hundreds of people, I don't think the 'Request eSignatures' is a viable option as I want the form to be available on our intranet for staff to download and complete using ACROBAT READER without my intervention. Whatever I am doing is not working ... Please help.

With help from IT we figured that the Digital Signature icon on the Prepare Forms toolbar is not visible by default. Attached instructions help solve the issue.Yay! Thanks everyone!Cheers!

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

To add the signature fields to the PDF form, open the PDF form > go to Tools > Prepare form, and drag and drop the signature fields on the PDF form as applicable. For more info, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html

You may also go through the help article https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/web-forms.html and see if that works for you.
