Need help signing multiple pages

I'm new at this, but boy have I jumped in with both feet.

I've seen in a few threads here where people have the same unsolveable problem I'm facing. I have a 5 page document which needs to have a signature on every page (the end customer is going to print it out after we electronically fax it over.) The threads suggest it cant be done. Can someone suggest a workaround?

--If I put a signature box on every page, when I sign one the others get locked.
--I CAN go back and manually puy a signature box on each page, re-saving each time, but this is very cumbersome. I'm running adobe pro 9, as will the other form users. I have livecycle to design the thing.
--I want something easy for my users -- they sign once, and it at least puts their names at the bottom of each page. I'd tolerate having only the last page "digitally signed," if somehow doing that would place the signer's name on each other pages. Can it be done?

If that's too easy, here's what I really need ...

What I really want is that when they click the signature box, it signs it, then saves it harvesting several of the fields to create the name, then opens outlook and adds the signed form as an attachment. Whether it auto-populates the address bar with an address based on another form field is negotiable as the number of clients is going to change over time, and I don't want to redesign this monster form every time we add a client. Right now our faxing solution cant handle a high level PDF (this is version 1.7, it wants 1.4 I think) so I'm also currently re-saving as a TIFF after the signature box saves it as a pdf. Can a script be written to do all that?
