To add a data signature to a submit button

You can configure a submit button to create a data signature before submitting data so that users can sign the form data when they submit the form. Data signatures provide data integrity and authenticate the signing party during transmission. For example, you can use data signatures to secure the form data during automated transactions.

To sign the data, the signing party must use Acrobat or Adobe Reader 8.0 or later.

1.	In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag the Button, Email Submit Button, or HTTP Submit Button onto the form design.

2.	In the Object palette, associate a data signature with the button:

•	If you are using a standard button, in the Control Type area of the Field tab, select Submit, and then select Sign Submission in the Submit tab.

•	If you are using an email or HTTP submit button, select Sign Submission in the Field tab.

3.	(Optional) Click Settings to define optional security settings, such as whether the signature applies to the data only or to the entire submission.

4.	Use the palettes to format the appearance of the submit button.

5.	Save the form design.
