The Problem:
Open the form in Acrobat DC or Reader and fill out the form. As long as you don’t use Fill and Sign, the document can be saved and maintain the form fill capability. Once the first person signs the form using Fill & Sign then the form is locked, and no additional changes can be made without using the Edit Form Feature in Adobe.
The Work Around:
1. Complete the form as needed, and use Fill and Sign to add the first signature. Do not save the document at this point. After signing, click the close button on the Fill and Sign tool bar:
2. Now click the Combine Files button on the right hand side of the screen:
3. Click on Add Open files. On the window that opens just select the file you are working on and click Add Files.
4. Now click the combine button in the upper right hand corner:
5. This will create a new file and gives it a name such as Binder1.pdf:
6. Now click on File and then Save As, and save the file as a different name. You can give it a name that reflects the original name of the document and the first person to sign it. For example, EmployeeEval-John-Doe.pdf
7. Share this new EmployeeEval-John-Doe.pdf with the next person, and make sure they use this same procedure when they go to sign it. Once the final person has signed it and no more changes are necessary then they can just save it normally after signing to lock it.
***NOTE: This is just if you need to maintain the form fill features. You can also use the Edit PDF Feature and ADD TEXT Feature to add the necessary text to the current document. No editing will be possible of current signatures or information.
