I have two signature fields on my document. It's an "either/or" situation. Only one needs to be signed. How do I disable "required" for each signature field?

Not necessarily. Select Prepare Form from the tools, then pull down the "More" dropdown and select "Revert to Acrobat Form".

You'll then be able to edit the field normally.

You need to use a script on the Signed event of either field. If they are

called Sig1 and Sig2 then place this code under Sig1:

this.getField("Sig2").required = false;

And the opposite on the other field.
