I have a document that I need to place in a file. I have added a signature filed . My boss will open the file and review and then sign his approval. When I test this on my computer it lets me sign and save. When he tries to save it wants him to save it under another name if he doesn't then he gets a message that it is a read only file. . I have adobe 9 pro. I think he has adobe reader. The reader rights have been enabled. This is really hard for me to play with and test since I can't get to his computer and it works on mine. This is my final step in setting up a full paperless procedure and it is such a small part but I am really stuck. This needs to be simple for him or I will be printing all this off for him to sign. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

When you say that your boss will open, review, and then sign the file, where is this file? That is, is the file on a server, or maybe in an e-mail attachment, or possible in a PDF Portfolio?

Thanks,
Steve

It is in a file on the network. I did find that I had the file that I put these in set up wrong. I had to change it to Allow "full control" for everyone under the Secuirty tab of the file. I gave up on the signature and now we are using an approved stamp. That is letting him open the file , stamp and save. Thanks for your response
