i scanned a signature in my computer and saved as pdf in illustrator cs4 and jpeg in photoshop cs4
when I go to add the signature in 9.0 pro latest version ( i have design prem cs4) it does not have the file in browse- the drop down menu says digital files and there are none- I have these files saved in folders on my pictures as well as my documents. the only way for me to convert the signature to a pdf file was to do it in illustrator- still cannot find or upload the file to signature in the pdf from I am filling out and need to sign
Please advise

After creating a digital signature, sign a document (any document) and the Sign Document dialog box opens. In the Appearance drop-down menu choose Create New Appearance. Add a Title for the appearance and click Imported Graphic, then click File. The Select Picture dialog box opens. Click Browse and from the Files of Type drop down menu choose the format for the file you're importing for the appearance. Navigate to the folder where your file is located and select it. After clicking Select, then OK. You should have the appearance listed in the Appearance drop-down menu each time you want to sign a document.

A digital signature in Acrobat is created in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. It is not a scanned picture of your handwritten signature. If you want to use a scan of your handwritten signature as an additional signature appearance, here are the steps:
1. Write your signature on a blank piece of paper as you want it to show. Make it normal signature size.
2. Scan it to a pdf file.
3. Open the signature pdf file in Adobe Reader.
4. Go to TOOLS > ZOOM & SELECT > SNAPSHOT TOOL. Drag a box around your signature.
5. Click OK in the SELECTED AREA HAS BEEN COPIED box.
6. Open a new WORD document and PASTE your signature in it (EDIT > PASTE).7. Convert the WORD document to a PDF using the PDF icon in the toolbar (if available) or the ADOBE PDF menu on the toolbar.
8. In Adobe Reader 9, go to EDIT > PREFERENCES > SECURITY on the left pane.9. Beside APPEARANCE on the right pane, click on NEW.
10. You will now see the CONFIGURE SIGNATURE APPEARANCE box.
11. Give your new signature a title so you will be able to distinguish it from your text signature.
12. Under CONFIGURE GRAPHIC, click in IMPORT GRAPHIC.
13. Click the FILE button to navigate to the converted signature file that you saved in a previous step.
14. Your new signature will be previewed.
Hope this addresses the problem you are having.
