Good info, thanks.
However, can we get a feature request re: signing arbitrary PDFs? I
still think there's a use case.

There are several ways to use and apply Digital Signature on a
document.
To physically create a signature field /sign or certify a document/
form you need either Acrobat Standard, Professional, or 3D.

To sign an existing signature field on a document, you can do so
using the products above, or use the free Adobe Reader assuming
that the document/form has been Reader Extended with Livecycle
Reader Extensions ES.
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
The oldest version that you need is Acrobat or Reader 6.0.3 minimum.
In the case of a form, you can "enable usage rights in a form to be
used in Adobe Reader" using Acrobat Professional, but the data can
only be compiled for 500 users agency wide. This solution is more
for testing and departmental solutions not agencies.
Keep in mind that several of the agencies in DoD are already using
Acrobat Professional, many of which are already on an enterprise
agreement. Many of them also have a license for ARES for internal
forms like DCAA, DFAS, DCEA, DLA, and many others.
In addition, all of the DD forms to be used by all DoD agencies
from WHS are already Reader enabled for save offline and digital
signature and can be accessed from: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/
directives/infomgt/forms/ddforms1-499.htm
If you have more detailed questions, feel free to contact me off
the thread and I will be glad to go into more details.

Not that I know of. Charles Mae from Adobe subscribes to this list
(I directly CC:d him as well) and should be answer in the definitive.
I'll add my vote that signing of arbitrary documents would be way
cool to have. I understand that specifically designed forms would be
needed to support a workflow with multiple signatures, but being able
to generate a memo or report and sign it without designing in
specific elements would be very useful for many users.
