Singling out the Signed tab

Options on the Signed tab apply only to the Signature field type. Its commands enable you to specify actions that occur in a form when data is entered into a blank signature field. You add signature fields to a form in the same manner as you do other form fields by using the Digital Signature tool. The Digital Signature tool creates a blank signature field that can
be filled out as part of completing a form.
To configure a blank signature field, click one of the three radio buttons on the Signed tab:

• Nothing Happens When Signed: Use this default option if you don’t want any actions to occur to data entered in a field.
• Mark as Read-Only: Provides a means of locking portions of a form at the time it is signed off in the signature field, in essence “freezing” the form at that moment in time. Select one of three items on the drop-down list: All Fields, All Fields Except These, and Just These Fields. If you select either of the latter two options, click the Pick button to open the Field Selection dialog box, where you choose the fields you want to render as read-only. Pick a field by selecting the check box next to the field name in the Mark Fields as Read Only list box. When you’re finished adding fields, click the OK button.
• This Script Executes When the Signature Field Is Signed: Click this radio button to execute a specific JavaScript action when data is entered in a signature field. Click the Edit button to open the JavaScript Edit window. If you’re familiar with JavaScript language, you can write your own or copy and paste a predefined JavaScript in the script editing window. Click OK to close the JavaScript Edit window. The action script appears in a preview box below the radio button. Note that you can use the arrow keys to view the script, but you can’t edit it.
