Creating signature fields

Signature fields are designed for users to electronically sign a document with a digital signature. You provide the field and the user clicks to apply a digital ID.

To create a signature field:

1. Select the Signature Tool tool from the Nitro PDF Professional toolbar.
2. Drag open a rectangle where you want the digital signature to appear.
3. Name the field and assign appearance settings.
4. Select Signed. Click Mark as read-only to lock field data when a form is signed. You have choices for locking all fields or selected fields. Another option is to write a custom JavaScript that is performed when a user signs the document.
