Add a Digital Signature Field to a PDF – IT Services Help Center

To add a Digital Signature field to an Adobe document, first open the PDF document you wish to edit with Adobe Acrobat; not Adobe Reader.
Next, click the Tools menu item from the top menu ribbon.
From the Tools screen, select Prepare Form.
DO NOT CHECK "This document requires signatures" as this feature actually utilizes Adobe Cloud Services and eSign versus the Digital Signature field options you may want to utilize.
Confirm the open file is selected and click Start. The Form Wizard will attempt to automatically add fields to your document. If it adds unwanted fields, you may click on them and delete them.
Once the Wizard has completed, navigate to the section of the document where you want to place the Digital Signature field. In the ribbon, click the Digital Signature button (the icon looks like a Pen and Paper ).
Your cursor will change to a blue box and cross-hair.
Click and drag to create the shape and size rectangle, in the space on the document that will become the Digital Signature field.
Now, name your field (Ex: Director Approval) and customize any further options or properties you may want (Required field option, etc.).
Select Preview to Preview your document.
Save your edited PDF.
