New PDF Form Field: Digital Signature Form Field

(See Example PDF and Example PDFill Project File  )

A digital signature form field lets the end user insert a digital signature using the latest free Adobe Reader. A digital signature, like a conventional handwritten signature, identifies the person signing a document. Unlike a handwritten signature, a digital signature is difficult to forge because it contains encrypted information that is unique to the signer and easily verified.

Note:  You must have the latest Adobe Reader to sign the digital signature box!
