I can't sign PDFs with images

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 and I am trying to follow these instructions: AMS Financial Aid Forms by Rachael Arestad on Prezi using Adobe Reader 11.0.10. However, there are a couple problems that come up.
1) I can't print the PDF as a PDF like the tutorial wants me to, I can only save. Why it wants me to print as PDF is beyond me.
2) If I try to add an image as a signature, Reader tells me to save a copy. Okay so I click save a copy, and I try again... and it tells me to save another copy! (ad infinitum)
What's happening here? Sorry if I come off as snarky, but this is a surreal and frustrating problem.

Answer 1

The author of the piece was, frankly, misinformed.
1. They say use Adobe Acrobat Reader. It hasn't been called that in over 10 years. It's Adobe Reader now. But this isn't important. But I mention it because the names of products are critical here.
2. They say to use the "Adobe PDF" printer. But this is not and never has been part of the free Adobe Reader. It is included in the product Adobe Acrobat ($$).
3. This option is no longer available on Mac OS even if you buy Acrobat.
Now, the save a copy thing. If you save a copy, you must save with a new name. THEN you must close the document you are working on and OPEN THE COPY.
