When you tab to or click a signature field, Click Here to Sign appears in the field. Depending on how the author configured the form, you use one of the following signing services to sign a form:
All signing services allow you to sign a form, verify a signature, and delete your signature. See the appropriate section below for the instructions you need to sign the form. If you're not sure which signing service your form is using, please see your administrator.
If your form is configured to use the I-Sign (P8) signing service, you will see the Sign dialog box when you click the signature field.
To sign a form using I-Sign (P8)
If your form is configured to use the I-Sign (Ink) signing service, you will see the I-Sign (Ink) dialog box when you click the signature field.
NOTE I-Sign (Ink) is supported only for the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
To sign using I-Sign (Ink)
NOTE The first time you open a form that has been configured with I-Sign (Ink), a message appears asking you if you want to install and run a file called eFormsWeb.cab. Click Yes to install the file.
NOTE If you leave the Name field blank and try to sign the form, an error message appears.
If your form is configured to use the Microsoft CSP signing service, the dialog box that displays when you click Click here to sign depends on the security setting that was chosen when your signing certificate was created. Please see your administrator for more information.
You could have several certificates installed on your machine (for example, Secure Email). If, among the certificates, you have only one valid digital signing certificate, that certificate will automatically be used to sign your form. If you have more than one valid digital signing certificate installed, a Select Certificate dialog box appears that displays all the certificates installed on your machine. In this case, select the digital signing certificate that you want to use and click OK.
