I have set up a form for digital signatures. When I send the form to someone to sign thay can't sign it unless they have Acrobat Profesional. Any suggestions? Can this not be done in Reader?

Thanks a bunch

Try enabling user rights. In Acrobat Pro 8, click on the Advanced menu then select Enable User Rights in Adobe Acrobat

I tried that, but when I send it to someone who only has reader they click on sign it goes to preview mode and the signature diasppears. We have many forms that will accept digital/ eletronic signature but trying to make an established form digitally signed seems impossible. I have consulted several IT people with no help. This is an established PDF form which we currently have to scan in after getting signautues. Can Someone please help?

Depending on what you want to do, feel free to try our #1 e-signature service EchoSign at www.echosign.com.

You can use it to electronically sign most PDF forms and the signer can electronically signer in Reader. The e-signature stamp will be fully applied to the document.

There is no charge for first 5 e-signed documents.

When you 'enabled usage rights' did you get the message that told you it was succesful, and that the document could now be digitally signed etc?
If there aren't too many fields it may be worth printing it to pdf and re-creating the fields so you effectively have a new 'Acrobat 8' form to enable.
