Routing a form for approval

Can you route a PDF form? I created a form that requires several approvals using a digital signature. Is there a way to route the form from one approver to the next automatically? I do not have the workflow server

There isn't anything like this built into Acrobat, unless you have a workflow server, but you could work out a system where the PDF is mailed to each person in the list in a sequence without anything too fancy.

For example, if there are 5 people in the list, place 5 buttons on the document, one for each person on the list. When the first person recieves the document they sign it and push the button with thier name on it. The button simply emails itself to the next person. When the last person recieves the PDF and pushes the button it sends the PDF back to you.

There are also several other ways this could be done.
