Adding Digital Signatures after Certification

[rogerh42470486]

I am using Abode Acrobat Version 11.0.0 with Windows 10.

I am wanting to be able to circulate a document for digital signing by others, after I have Certified it.

When applying a Certification I select the Option of "Annotations, form fill-in, and digital signatures" as Permitted Actions After Certifying however the certified document is completely locked and I am not able to make any changes or add digital signatures.

Is this a known bug or am I doing something incorrectly ?

The words "...and digital signatures" means the the user will be able to sign any unsigned digital signature fields that are available. So you'll need to add as many digital signature fields as you'll ever need for the document before certifying it.

Many thanks for this response.  It wasn't immediately obvious how one would add unsigned digital signature fields to the document, however I have been able to do this by just applying multiple instances of my own digital signature and then using Right Click - Clear Signature to leave empty unsigned Signature Fields.

The usual way would be to enter form editing mode since digital signature fields are a type of form field. In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
