Using an electronic signature when filling in a form

[Katertlit]

I am an Adobe Newbie, and and oldie.  Please help!

I want to use an electronic signature to fill in a form, rather than print it, sign it, scan it, send it.  I have the full creative cloud all apps package, but when I try to use a signature it directs me to the free trial. 

How do I put in a digital / electronic signature when filling a form in Acrobat?

Help much appreciated!

Are you sure you're using Acrobat and not the free Reader? What does it say in the title of the application?

Are you able to edit PDF files, such as add fields to them?

[Katertlit]

Thanks for your reply. I sure am! Paying lots of money per year. Yes,
able to edit files, etc. I just can't seem to find it within the Adobe
acrobat itself, nor any step by step instructions for this old dummy!

All you need to do is add a Digital Signature field, like you would any other field.

What happens when you try to do that?

[Katertlit]

Thanks for that. I'm not even sure how to do that but I'll give it a go.
It would be useful for dummies like me to have a step by step list of
instructions - which is what I was hoping for when I searched it online.
Thanks for your help, though!

Not yet but will have a go.
