creating an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X

I want to make an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X, so that Acrobat Reader users can later sign it. I know how to enable that last part ("extended PDF Reader"), but don't know how to make an empty field.

You can add a digital signature field by going into forms editing mode and using the signature tool: Tools > Forms > Edit

Go to Tools->Sign and Certify
Add a new signature, save the pdf file and then right click on the signature and clear it.

Is a blank signature field what I need to create if I want my document to be signed by someone else? I am just the editor of the document. I will not officially sign the document. The signature will come from a managment postion. Everytime I try to create a blank signature field though Adobe wants to sign the document with my personal signature.

You can crete a blank signature field in form editing mode. When you do so, it won't prompt you to sign it.
