You do need Acrobat/Reader 9 to view this but it could be an option. On a final note, have you thought about splitting the document to either sections or pages and creating a Portfolio with the individual PDF, this will retain the signatures as creating a merged file will remove them again. The approved-trust-list link claim it is easy to use, but dont think it will be cheap. I have attached some good links that could be of interests. Im afraid you are stuck with the slow process unless you buy a third-party plug-in, I could not find a price unfortunately. ) and i believe you could possible edit the registry (Windows) to enable this. The only way to stop this is by a third-party plug-in (for example. When you sign a document in Acrobat, it uses it Default Security Method (that is set in the Preferences) that automatically verifys every signature.

If you supply an non-entended PDF to your end users they can fill in the fields and use the Sign tool but CANNOT save the file- they would have print it to have a filled-in copy for themselves.

To fill and sign this document you need to print it out" message is because your PDF is Extended. If you are still with me ( as this is confusing), the reason you are getting the "The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. Since flattening adds the stamp to the "content" it invalidates the digital signature. Fillable form fields are not content, they are interactive elements that basically float over the top of the "content." The Sign tool in Adobe Reader is acually adding a "stamp" with a flattening feature that bakes it into the content. After a digital signature is added to the PDF any changes to the content (background) will invalidate that digital signature.
When you add the Extended Rights what you are doing is adding a type of digital signature to the PDF.
