      One possibility is that the person who signed it was not clear about what
      software they actually have.




Actually... I think you're right. Looking into the document properties, this PDF file appears to have been created with PDFCreator, not Acrobat at all. It appears that someone indeed has modified the file to bring it to the point where it could be signed.

And that's grounds enough for not going any further with this, because we'd have to upgrade several Acrobat licenses just to proceed with the signatures, and there is a definite possibility of reaching 500 copies of the file, although I'm not sure how that could be tracked or who could do the tracking.

Thanks for your time, Aandi!
