Setting a Document to Print for a Third Party Without Stamps

I am sending a form to a client for signature. I would like the "Sign Here" stamp to appear on screen as an instructional, but not when it's printed. I don't want to put the responsibility on the client to change the print settings as I am trying to make this as little work as possible for them and minimize my time by not typing out a printing tutorial for them. Is there any way for me to set the properties on the stamp to not print? Thank You

Provided they're signing using a signature field on the form rather than a manually-placed stamp, then yes: when you create or edit the form, select the signature field and open the properties (right-click or use the "All Properties" link on the blue tab that appears when you create a new field). Under General > Common Properties choose "Visible but doesn't print".

I see what you mean with the "Digital Signature" field and changing it's property to "Visible But Doesn't Print". Is there any way to do the same with a manually placed stamp? The Digital Signature field could confuse since I'm not really offering that as an option for signature. And the "Sign Here" portion of that field is very small.

Thanks
