Hi grahamdoyle ,

You need to be the part of the transaction to Sign the document.

Please use the concept of "Multiple parties need to Sign the document" Send agreements and collect signatures.

Also refer to this KB doc. as Sequential Signing will come into play : Sequential and Parallel sending workflows Adobe Sign

You need to add your email address after entering the Signers email address in the Recipient field on the "Send" page.  Also add a signature field on the document & assign it to yourself before sending the document Out for Signature.

Once you do this, document will first go the First Signer & once he Sign's the document it will go the Second Signer that is you for the Signature. When you have Signed the document, transaction will get completed.

Hi josephs96406997

Sending back the Signed document will flatten the document & again convert it to an image so the previous Signature won't be valid.

You will have to once again send the document for Signature form the scratch, please make sure you place the Signature fields on all the pages where you require the Signatures from the Signer before sending the document Out for Signature.

Also make sure you have assigned the Signature field to the correct Signer.

Additional question to this string,.....I sent the document to a person for their signatures.  Signatures were needed on page 3 and page 6.  The person only signed on page 6.  They signed and the status then showed complete.  I need their signature on page 3 as well.  Can I resend the signed document back to the person so that they can sign it on page 3 as well, or, does a new document need to be sent to them?  Additionally, if the signature box on page 3 needs both husband's and wife's signature, can they both sign there?

Hi Joseph,

If signatures are required on multiple pages, you need to make the signature fields as mandatory. This cab be done from the authoring page (before sending, preview position and add form fields to it). You will need to send a new document OR may be send the same signed document that you must have received with a mandatory signature field on page 3 now to get his signatures on page 3.

For husband and wife, you can add 2 different signature fields on the authoring page. Just double click on the custom field you added and assign the role appropriately.

Hope this helps!
