I have Adobe Acrobat pro 8.0. I was wondering how I can use the digital signature solution that Adobe Acrobat has for my business. I would need to also make sure that the digital signature is legal and binding as would be a signature with pen on paper.

I will need to have my workers sign contracts that I send them without having Acrobat installed if possible. I just want to limit the things they need installed on their computer to so this. They do have Adobe Reader though at least. Thank you in advance for all your help.

Well, it is. We use this for NDAs and POs all the time.

at the bottom of that link there are three other links - one is a great tutorial from the American Bar Association;
