Lock fields in a PDF form and be able to hide a digital signature

[richdjr]

Hi all,

I have to work on a form where my office would issue a form to potential contracted employees where certain fields would be locked to avoid tampering with number values. I saw this in another post:

https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-lock-form-fields-using-a-digital-signature

but can I hide the digital signature to avoid having the person who's issuing the form on behalf of the company not be overwhelmed with phone calls or emails?

Also, I was going to include the "add page" script in the form along with drop down menus. Is it possible to have the signature and locked information appear on subsequent pages as well?
