I am wondering if a scribble field can be incorporated into a PDF form for distribution and data collection ? It would allow end users to fill-in the field in a free-form fashion with the ability to draw simple sketches, etc using their mouse or pointing device.

Acrobat 9 Pro with LiveCycle Designer. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Yes, only there is no such thing as a scribble field. There is an annotation type called an ink, or Pencil tool, that allows the user to scribble on the PDF. And it will work in Reader if the PDF has been Reader Enabled for commenting.
