We would like to simplify inserting a signature field on a standard form. For example if the form is a 1040 form the signature field would automatically get inserted at the disgnated location in the PDF.
Would this be possible?
I imagine the process would be to select a page and indicated that it is the signature page, indicate what type of return or document it is and based on that the script would insert the signature field in predifined place for that type of form.

We are filing electronically but clients prefer a signed copy of the return, whether electronic or paper. We have also confirmed that this digital signature would surffice for the IRS.

If it is for the preparer, then a stamp should suffice. Just like in the days when people sent in paper returns and firms used rubber stamps.
You can use JavaScirpt to apply stamps annotations.
Have you looked at the documentation provided by Adobe about digital signatures on PDF forms. There is the need for a digital certificate and when a the digital certificate is used the sign the form, the form fields are locked by default and a special check value is applied to the PDF which is used to detect any changes to the PDF after the PDF is signed. It is possible to have multiple signature fields, but only the last applied signature will validate and all of the prior signature fields will indicate that the form has changed since that specific sit nature was applied to the form.

Yes you can add a digital signature. It would need javascript to automate.
Not simple to do. Only worthwhile if you have many to sign.

Does not the IRS use a electronic PIN for the signature?
