Signing a Document without saving it...

Hello... Is there a way to this? I'm using a JavaScript on the signature field that once is signed, it will send it automatically to the next person, but I know that once you signed you have to save it... Is there a way to skip this part and just send it signed without saving it in the local computer? Thanks...

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.0, Windows

No, Both signing and sending require saving the PDF.

Actually, there is a way around this, but it requires writing a plug-in for Acrobat. Not an easy solution

Actually, I managed to put a Send Button on the form that is able to send the form without saving it... It just sends the form with the filled information but does not save a local copy, or at least, I haven't noticed it doing that... Thanks

You are correct, the form can be sent without saving. But signing does require a save.
