Hi
I'm a complete newbie to Acrobat but here is what I am trying to achieve.
My employer wants to automate a process.
Basically, a document exists that is used for a particular type of purchasing. The form is initially filled in with one or more descriptive fields. This is then signed by the originator.
Then it is passed to an approver.
Then, it may, depending on value, be passed to one or more further approvers.
Once all required approvers have signed it is then deemed to be 'approved'
Then, this is passed to accounts who allocate a number
I want to have some method where this can be done electronically, the form data filled in by the originator and accounts, the form passed around by email, and digital signatures used for approval.
I also want to be able to use Adobe Reader for the approvers and accounts, perhaps only using Acrobat Professional to create the template
Can anyone describe how to do this or alternatively point me in the direction of a document that will help me ? Not really sure where to start !!
Any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks
