    Options for the author signature (certificate with visible signature)

    Many thanks for explaining the difference between the author signature (with certificate) and approval signatures. This is much more clear now.

    One of the main reason why do I prefer the author signature (means the certificate) is as this allows an additional information within the signature (like company logo, the individual reason for approval, Acrobat version etc.).

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but from my experience, the "approval signature" does not offer that kind of functionality.

    Honestly, I do not understand the difference between "Digitally sign" and "Certify" (...no matter if with or without visible signatures).

    I guess I have solved the issue now by doing following: I have placed my certification (with visible signatures) in 3 different fields by choosing "edit the form and add further certificate after signing". Then I removed all my certifications without deleting the fields where these were set. Thanks to this, the other 2 users are able to place their certified signatures. So this works well.

    The only concern I have now is that each signer has to take care on the option when signing the file (means to allow others to sign as well). Another concern is that each signer can remove his certificate afterwards which is not optimal.

    The users have tried to place their own certified signatures as well, but without success. Although I choose the option 2) that allows others to add their signatures, they are unable to proceed as the PDF file is "protected"

    No, I did not, but this may be a great idea. I have 3 fields for 3 approvers, so let me try to see what happens when placing 3 times my own certified signature, then delete 2 of them so 2 signature fields would remain empty, and both users may place their signatures there

    No, I did not as we prefer our own certified signatures. Good idea as well, but this would require E-signatures through an Adobe Sign. Works well for me as I do have Adobe Pro, but not for the initial requestor of the form who does not have Acrobat Pro and would need to purchase it.

    Screenshot for better understanding. I am using Acrobat Pro for MS Windows (2023.008.20555)
