I am trying to make a form where I can make it willable and have check off boxes and review with their workers and have them eah sign off on the document. The issue I am having is when I generate an area for them to individiual print and sign their names, only digital signatures can be entered. How do I get it to where they can click the box, allows them to draw their signature and then insert that signature into that form?

Hi,

 

Have you tried preparing and  distributing the PDF with Adobe Sign instead?

 

Seems like you are referring to how to use the "request e-Signatures" with AcroSign or the Fill & Sign tool to employ electronic signatures.

 

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that, users may use those certificate-based digital signature fields.

 

For instance, when the user clicks on the digital signature field, the diakog window "Sign with a Digital ID" will come up.

 

Clicking on the "Configure New Digital ID" button (instead of "Continue"), will bring up another dialog window: "Configure a Digital ID for signing".

 

Next, if they select the "Crate a new Digital ID"  => Continue, it will bring another screen to create their own self-signed Digital ID => "Save to Windows Certificate Store" => Continue.

 

The next screen is self explanatory, where they have blanks to enter (at a minimum) the self distinguished signing name and email address => Save.

 

Then they will be able to reuse this self-signed certificate for future documents.

Thank you for the reply. The issue is that everyone would be signing the document on the same tablet. We use them for meetings, so instead of having a sign in sheet where each individual writes their name and then signs their signature. I was looking to have it to where my managers can have it on their tablet, selected each individual field and enter the information accordingly. Then instead of signing on a separate piece of paper, scanning and sending. I was looking to be able to pass the tablet along to each member of the meeting, type their name and then click the box next to their name and sign their signature. I used to use it with a previous employer and when you clicked the signature box you could either enter your saved signature or custom/customer signature. Hope this explains a little better as to what I am trying to achieve here. Thanks in advance for your help

++EDITED REPLY, added screenshots to support case

 

So definitely employ Adobe Sign.

 

It does allow you to sign a document and pass it on to the next signer using the same tablet device.

 

Are you familiarized with this feature?

 

Here are some slides from an Android mobile device to aid visually with the "Get Signature in Person" feature:
