You're at least a 'B-' student now

Hi Robert,

It sounds like you are talking about the prompt in Acrobat Reader that advises users to "Click "Sign" to fill out and sign this form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking "Done Signing"." This prompt confuses and annoys a lot of people. You can make it go away by saving your form as Reader Extended. In Acrobat, Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save). Exact terminology varies depending on your version of Acrobat. Be sure to save a copy of the non-extended version of the form for future editing.

If you have just a few known users you could also ask them to upgrade to Reader XI, I understand it does not display the annoying prompt. Or you could ask them to ignore the prompt, which they can do - it does not effect the use of the form other than causing confusion.

Hope this helps.

Remove / Disable the signature requirement on a Form

This is my first form so this is probably a really easy question. I would like a user to be able to complete the form and then save it without having to sign it. Having the signature complicates the process so I would like to remove the requirement all together. I haven't added any signature fields. It's just automatically showing up and prompting the user when they try to complete the form. I've searched on the forum and through XI Pro and I can't find the setting to turn it off. How can I turn this off? Thanks!
