Hello everyone quite active lately here. But I have found myself in another issue I wanna add a signature field to a PDF Form in which I'm able to input a signature by just signing (adding text signature, drawing or adding a picture to the field) talking about the top signing process / Fill and sign tool in Acrobat Reader/DC.

The form itself is going to be used in a business relationship. Which requires to persons to sign, is their a way without using Adobe Sign to setup fields which could be automaticlly filled with this tool.

Should look like this

Signature of the seller:                 {INPUT SIGNATURE}                                     

Signature of the Buyer or Stamp:                {INPUT SIGNATURE}                      

Thanks for any replies.

    The answer is sort of.

    The user can always use the Ink tool to draw on the PDF. You could even put a button next to the field that activates the ink tool with a script. All of the the markup annotations have menu items. They are not shown on the Acrobat UI, but they are there and can be activated with the "app.execMenuItem()" function. Of course the user can use this tool to draw anywhere on the PDF.

    If you want the user to load an image of a signature, then use the Picture field. You'll find it in Prepare Form mode. When the user clicks on the image button it asked them to select an image file. Of course there is no way to guarantee they load a signature.
