I would like to apply two signatures to my form. This form will be viewed by 2 or more people.

When the first person (employee) fills in the document, how can I lock the sections, not applicable to the employee ? However, once signed the document should lock the employee sections and open the locked sections for the manager.

The Manager will then fill in the form and sign in the second spot.

I would like to know how can this be implemented without breaking the first signature.

If signed document is emailed, will break the signature ?

Thanks
Aditya

You will have to make a collection of fields to be controlled or not to be controlled by each signature field and select the action for each signature field accordingly.

Thank you for the reply.

I can lock the collection of fields after they signed. However, how can I lock certain fields prior to signing ?

Will emailing a digitally signed form break the signature ?

Emailing won't break signatures.

You can use Javascript to change the readonly property of some form fields as the form is filled in but you need to be very careful when changing things in a signed document. Scripts can easily invalidate a signature if they modify the wrong thing.
