There's a little preference option that was added in a rather ambiguous area in Acrobat 8 where the Reasons options are now located. They don't appear by default so you need to edit the Secruity Preferences.

Open the Preferences dialog box and click Security in the left pane. Click the Advanced Preferences button to open the Digital Signatures Advanced Preferences dialog box.

Click the Creation tab and check the box where you see Show reasons for signing. Click OK and click OK again in the Preferences dialog box.

When you sign a document the Sign Document dialog box will now show Reasons at the bottom of the dialog box. Select a reason from the pull-down menu just like you did with earlier Acrobat viewers.

Best Regards,
