Multiple signature fields signed by different people

Is there a way to have multiple people sign the same document with different signature fields? I would like multiple 10-15 different people to be able to digitally sign a document and have all of the signatures on the document. In Reader 7.0, it was possible, but with Reader 8.0, once once person signs, it prompts to save as a filename and locks the rest of the digital signature fields.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Sure, just create as many signature fields as you want.

I have this same problem. I want to be able to use acrobat reader in house without being dependant on email.

I would like to create a document, save it in a central location and have multiple people be able to access the file, open it, digitally sign the document and then save it. The order of which the people are able to sign the document is not crucial, but it would be nice to control the sequence of when the document can be signed.

I know this is possible using Acrobat, but is it possible to do it with reader? I have acrobat but everyone that needs to sign the document only have the reader.

Every time I try this experiment the document is automatically locked after the first person signs it, even with multiple signature fields.

Thanks

I have a form that has multiple signatures on it. Train the users to select Sign and Save instead of Sign and Save As and it will replace the original document.

I found out the problem. When in Acrobat there is a settign int he avanced tab to enable securties in reader. With that checked signing multiple in reader is possible.
