Multiple people can sign adobe forms using "Fill and Sign" tool in Adobe Acrobat. No edits can be made to the document once the first signature is added, but multiple individuals can drop signatures into the form.

In June 2020 Adobe removed Adobe Sign functionality from Acrobat DC. This change has resulted in the removal of send for signature, request signatures, and signature workflows. Individuals can still sign and time stamp documents and save those documents. |

Step 1: Open PDF file
Open Acrobat, and click File > Open and locate the PDF on your computer
Step 2: Fill in the form
If the form is a fillable form with data fields, go ahead and fill out the fields as needed. It is important to understand that whatever fields you enter, once you sign the form, none of the answers can be changed by you or others.

To sign, click the "Fill & Sign" tool in the right hand tool panel.

If you don't see "Fill &Sign" click "More Tools" then scroll to "Fill & Sign" and click Add underneath it to add it to the Tool Panel. |
Next you will see a new button called "Sign" at the top of the form. Click that button.
After you click a dialogue box will show up for you to choose your signature. If you do not have one already stored in acrobat, it should prompt you to create one. Choose the signature you want to use.
After you choose the signature, you will see your cursor turns into you signature. Guide your mouse to the field where you need to drop your signature and click the form. The signature will appear where you click.
Step 4: Save the form
If the form you filled out had fields that you entered data into, you may get a notice that once you save the fields can no longer be edited. After saving, you have successfully signed. If you need to send the form to someone else for a signature, you will have to email them the form, and they can follow the same instructions to add their signature to the form.
