Acrobat 9 - Need Step-by-Step How-To CREATE a Digital Signature

OK, I read all the post for "digital signatures." Problem, none have step-by-step instructions and any links do not lead to what I need. Want the ability to [b]sign PDFs locally[/b], NOT via certificates nor an online service.

The closest address how to create a [b]Digital Signature[/b] in [b]Adobe Reader[/b] NOT [b]Adobe 9[/b].

I have a PDF with my hand-written signature already. Works with the [b]Adobe Reader[/b] steps.

So, how do I do the same thing in [b]Adobe 9[/b]?

I'm a newbe, so I need step-by-step ([i]aka lead me by the hand[/i]) instructions.
