When I apply a digital signature to a PDF, it automatically asks me to save
the document. Is there a way to disable this feature when applying a digital
signature.
 
Reason is the Manager is verifying the employees timesheet and putting his/her
approval on it and does not need to save a copy but just e-mail it to accounting department where they will save a copy.
 
Any comments are appreciated.

The PDF has to be saved in order for the signature to be applied to the PDF. There's no way around it. Or no easy way. You could write your own signature plug-in that does it all in memory so it never goes to disk, but that seems like overkill.
