Hello. I’m getting lost Acrobat Pro XI and what I’m trying to accomplish and hoping that I can get some guidance. I know I'm probably overlooking something minor when creating the forms.
Background:
Trying to go paperless with internal documents that need to be signed and retained. Going to have kiosk stations with MS Surfaces with Acrobat Pro XI installed located in a certain office that will process associated items in relation to the paperwork. There will be a generic local Windows account on the Surfaces for this, so this will not be done from individual systems or domain accounts. Hence, there needs to be some ease and intuitiveness associated with this process. Some people will be able to sign with a digital certificate that is located on a personally assigned smart card. Not everyone will have this and if they don’t they will need to ink sign utilizing a stylus. This paperwork will need to be kept internally and will not be authorized to reside or even temporally reside on an external cloud solution.
Question:
How do I create a form with signature boxes that will ask the user if they want to digitally sign with a certificate or sign with digital ink. Then have that signature associated with and reside in that signature box (so people just don’t draw haphazardly on the document and so I can enforce required areas to be signed). The only option I ever seem to get is a certificate signing option, never ink.
