Adobe Reader 10 continues to offer the digital signature features found in previous versions and it provides some advancements in digital signature security reader 10 is now compatible with the PDF advanced electronic signature standard or Paddy's reader 10 also has the capability to download certificates from the Adobe approved trust list which offers a higher assurance of certificate integrity but if all you want to do is simulate a simple handwritten signature reader 10 allows you to do that as well in this tutorial I will cover the two methods of applying signatures to PDF files in reader digital signatures and the new apply ink signature tool the most important thing to remember about using signatures in reader is that the PDF file has to be enabled before signatures will work so your three warning signs they've a PDF file has not been enabled are right here if it says you cannot save data typed into this form second warning sign would be if you look over here and there's nothing that says tools and the third warning sign would be if you go to a signature field and click in it and nothing happens I'm going to jump off the main topic for just a second to show you how to enable usage rights in Adobe Reader when you are in Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro so you just go to the file menu save as reader extended PDF enable additional features select that and then you can see here that it says it will allow you then in Adobe Reader to sign an existing signature field and then click Save now and it's done now I am back over in Adobe Reader 10 with my newly enabled form open and you can see that it says that I can save data typed into this form and I have a tools option here so I click on tools and the first thing we're going to look at is apply ink signature so I click on that and then anywhere in the document I can just hand write a little signature of course the more manual dexterity you have the better the signature is going to come out looking now let's take a look at the more formal digital signature capabilities within Adobe Reader that actually help protect the integrity of the document so first if someone has now provided signature fields within a document you can still use a digital signature by going to the again under the Tools menu selecting place signature and it tells you to click and drag an area where you want the signature to appear so you select ok and then just draw out a box where you want to put a signature since this is the first time I will be signing anything in Adobe Reader I have to make a new digital ID for myself so I select new digital ID click Next and then it requires an email address so
