Adobe Acrobat

I created a digital signature field in a PDF form using LC 8. Clicking this digital signature field triggers the digital signing flow. This works fine.

For various reasons I don't want to display the signature field. So i want to make the field invisible. I know how to make this.

Now I want to use a customized button to execute some logic and then trigger/dispatch the signing flow.

I can create a regular button and write required javascript.

Here is the unknown part that I need some help:

On clicking this button, I want to dispatch/trigger the signing of the document (using the above described digital signature field).

Is this possible?

Alternatively does someone have sample signing code using javascript esp. related to Roaming ID.
thanks

Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to do this. The resulting action of clicking inside the signature field doesn't appear to be the result of a click action and therefore you can't do something like

SignatureField1.execEvent("click")

in order to get Acrobat to start the signing process.
