Electronic Signature
How do I create an electronic signature?
State forms within OPTins contain parsable fields; therefore, users cannot successfully upload a form that has been printed, signed, and scanned when a signature is required.
If you haven�t already created your digital ID in Adobe Acrobat, follow the instructions below:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
2. In Acrobat, choose "Advanced," then "Security Settings".
3. In Reader, choose "Document," then "Security Settings".
4. Select "Digital IDs" on the left, then click the "Add ID" button.
5. Select "A New Digital ID I Want To Create Now," then click "Next".
6. Specify where to store the digital ID, then click "Next".
7. Type a name, email address, and other personal information for your digital ID. When you certify or sign a document, the name appears in the Signatures panel and in the Signature field.
Once your electronic signature has been created, it can be easily inserted into an Adobe PDF document. Just click in the signature field and the "Sign Document" pop-up menu will appear.
