I receive a document in pdf that I need to digitally sign (I have adobe pro). How to electronically sign and forward pdf without having to save it and reattach it.

By signing you mean using a digital certificate?

When you open a PDF from an email it doesn't exists in a real file location, so when you do something like signing it needs to save it somewhere. Actually the file does exists in a temporary location, but for all practical purses its just in space.

You can't get around this issue, but you could automate it. It's possible to write an automation tool with JavaScript to sign the PDF and send it off with a single button click.
