Missing signatures option

[eleanorr71565347]

I am creating a form from an existing word document, however I am missing the button for 'this document requires Signatures' in the Select a file screen. Is there another way I can add this? I need recipients of the form to be able to type their signature or electronically write it on a touch screen (e.g. tablet).

When you select the "This document requires signatures" checkbox (which appears when you initially select Tools > Prepare Form), it sets it up to be used with the Adobe Sign e-signature service. If you didn't do this the first time that you selected Tools > Prepare Form, then you can select: More > Convert to Adobe Sign Form

while you're in form editing mode.

Note that users will be able to use the Fill & Sign feature with a regular Acroform, so if you don't intend to use the Adobe Sign service, then you can leave it as-is and users will be able to place a hand-drawn signature anywhere they like, unless you add a digital signature field. You can provide a blank space for this, but there is not type of form field that you need to add.
