Add fields so clients can sign electronically and send back

I've read a bunch of discussions about how to add fields to forms but none of them answered all my questions.
What I'd like to do is add a signature and text field (for date) to a PDF so that my clients can send them back signed electronically. I do not want to use EchoSign.
I have Acrobat Pro v9.5.2. I added a signature field and text field per http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/acrobat/pdf/A9-creating-accessible-pdf-forms.p df. I read on an Adobe forum that I was supposed to go to Save as > Reader Extended to allow the user to sign the document and send back to me signed. However, all I have as save options are Save or Save As. There's no Save As > Reader Extended option and when I choose Save As the "Save as type" does not include Reader Extended either.
Please post step by step instructions for how to do this (add 2 fields, save doc, send to client, have them sign and fill in fields and send back to me completed). Surely we can do this with 9 yes?
Thanks so much in advance!

Here are full instructions for version 9.5.2 in case they're helpful to anyone:

5. Click Finish. You're now ready to sign doc
6. Enter the password you just created into "Password" field
(To import graphic of your signature, from "appearance" field, select "Create New Appearance" > Enter title like "signature" > click "Imported graphic" option > click "File" (not sure but file might need to be a PDF) > click Okay and click okay again.
7. Click "Sign"
8. Save document - give it a name > Save.
9. You should see signature in the signature field
At any point in future you can come back to signature and right click (or ctrl click if mac):
You can clear, validate, etc.
If doc has been modified, you can "view signed version" or "show signed properties".
Edit > Protection > Security Settings
You can see any digital IDs you've set up, remove, add new ones, look at usage options,

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • Text file over 200 external email addresses to add to outlook client - Can I import these email addresses to a Group Contact in outlook

    Can i import from a text file (text file only has smtp address) over 200 external email addresses to 2010 outlook client - specifically group contact. I did not see an import button on outlook client.  It would be very convenient if users can manipulate
    a text file which has all their external email addresses import these addresses to one group contact (mailing list)

    Hello Christopher,
    Please follow :-
    Step 1
    Open the text file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Each address should reside on a separate line or be separated by a semicolon. You can include multiple fields, such as names and addresses, by separating the fields by a space or tab.
    Step 2
    Press "Ctrl-A" to select all contacts on the list and then "Ctrl-C" to copy them.
    Step 3
    Click "New Items" from the main Outlook window, "More Items" and then "Contact Group."
    Step 4
    Click "Add Members" and then "From Address Book."
    Step 5
    Click the "Members" field, press "Ctrl-V" to paste the list of emails and click "OK."
    Step 6
    Click the "Name" field and type a name for the group.
    Step 7
    Click "Save & Close" to save your changes.
    Step 8
    Click "New Email" and type the name of the group in the "To" field. You can then compose and send email as usual.

  • I can sign into and use iTunes but I can't sign into icloud.

    I can sign into and use iTunes with no trouble but I can't sign into icloud. It makes me think I must have a different password. I go to the reset password area and choose via email but the email never comes. It's not in junk. I don't know what to do

    Hi Adam ...
    Make sure you have logged out of the iTunes Store then try logging in to the App Store.
    And try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store. Click Account right side of the App Store window and see if you can login.

  • My links won't light up that potential clients can just click and go, why?

    I need to know why my links won't light up so that my clients can just click and go to my website. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    That means that you have to login to access the page and see that content.<br />
    In that case we won't be able to inspect the page and test if it works.
    If elements on a page can't be clicked the it is usually because another element is covering it.<br />

  • Exchange Server 2010 - Problem configuring my server 2008 so my clients can use Outlook to send/receive e-mails

    Hi,
    I am new to the servers and domains stuff. Therefore i have setup succesfully a Server 2008 R2 server with AD, DHCP, DNS roles installed. I configured the roles as i wanted and then i installed Exchange Server 2010 so the clients can use Outlook to send
    receive mails in and out of the domain.
    I can send/receive mails inside the domain (disalfa.com) but i cannot send/receive mails outside the domain. I configured the Exchange properly, i am sure of that. I am 99,9% i did something wrong with the DNS (A records, MX records, etc.).
    Also is there something i must do from the control panel of the site i purchased the domain name and the mails?
    Can someone guide me so i can manage to work this out?
    Server 2008 -  192.168.1.250
    Registered Domain - disalfa.com
    Thank you in advance

    Hi ,
    I recommend you refer to the following article to configure your external mail flow:
    Configure Internet Mail Flow Directly Through a Hub Transport Server
    Prerequisites
    Register MX resource records for all accepted domains in a public domain name system (DNS) server. Consult the documentation of your DNS provider for information about how to register MX records for your domain. Detailed procedures about how to complete
    this step are outside the scope of this topic.
    Configure network gateways to allow SMTP traffic to and from the Hub Transport server. Consult the documentation for your network routers and firewalls for information about how to route SMTP traffic to and from the Hub Transport server. Detailed procedures
    about how to complete this step are outside the scope of this topic.
    Best regards,

  • HT4859 i accidentally clicked restore when i meant to click back up on my iphone 5, is there any way i can undo that and go back to what i had before i clicked restore?

    I accidentally clicked "restore" when I meant to "back up" on my iphone 5, is there anyway I can undo that and get back to what I had?

    Once the Device is being Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    It doesn't appear you can gift a book.  Your best option would be gift an iTunes gift card, which they could redeem for the book.
