I'm trying to create a form in LiveCycle ES where a user can digitally sign the document and then emial it or print it as a pdf) all in Reader. I've put in a button with the Control Type being "Submit", the URL as "mailto:" since it won't be emailed to just one person, and Submit As a PDF. This will allow me to email as a PDF to anyone in our company, however, the digital signatures don't work in Reader. Can anybody help me with this?

You need to Reader-enable the document with Acrobat Pro or Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions in order to add the digital signature usage right. There may be additional things you have to do to the form depending on what type it is, particularly if it's a dynamic form. For example, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/852921

I have opened it in Acrobat and selecte "Enable Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader" but it still doesn't do anything when I open it in Reader and click it to Sign (but it will email as a PDF). There isn't an error message or anything; it just doesn't do anything.
