I have acrobat pro. I am creating a health form for patients to fill and sign on a tablet. I want it to be user friendly for the signature. I have not been able to format the signature field so they click on it and sign.

What OS does you use on the tablet?

The tablet is an android OS.

As for the workflow. I open the file using the "prepare form" in tools. I

drag the signature box down to the appropriate place.

It looks like the only way to get the signature to the proper place on the

form is to drag it in the fill an sign function. It would be nice if they

could just click on a box.

I did some reading of your links. It looks like I don't have an interactive

form but rather a flat form. I cannot find help topic on how to make it an

interactive form.

Thanks for all your help

On Android you can use the Fill & Sign app.

Hi Elisabethf, 

How exactly you have been applying signature filed into the form? Could you please share the workflow that you follow?

To make a form user friendly, you can create a signature filed following the steps given in the help article for to create digital signature field under "Prepare Form": Creating and distributing PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat
