To make an Adobe form signable, you need to add a dedicated signature field using Adobe Acrobat's tools.
Understanding Signable PDF Forms
A signable PDF form, in this context, is a document where specific areas are designated for users to add their electronic signature. Adobe Acrobat provides tools to convert static documents into interactive forms, including adding various field types like text boxes, checkboxes, and crucially, signature fields.
Steps to Make Your Adobe Form Signable
Making your Adobe form signable involves using the form preparation tools to insert a signature field. Here are the steps, based on the provided information:
- Click the Tools tab at the top of the window.
- This tab provides access to various functionalities within Adobe Acrobat, including those for editing and preparing forms.
- Choose Prepare Form.
- Selecting this option activates the form editing mode. Adobe Acrobat can often automatically detect and create form fields, or you can manually add them.
- Select Insert a Signature Field.
- Within the "Prepare Form" mode, there will be an option to add different types of form fields. Choose the signature field tool. You can then draw a box on your form where you want the signature to appear.
Once the signature field is added, save the form. When someone opens the form, they will be able to click on the signature field and follow the prompts to add their electronic signature.
By following these steps, you transform a standard PDF document into an interactive form capable of capturing electronic signatures, making it easy to share and get signed digitally.
