Re: Unable To Sign Out Of Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc
Teodolinda Mattson
Hello, recently I was forced to change to Adobe DC at work. We create PDF forms via Word that require digital signatures from various people within the company on a daily basis. I used to be able to sign them without issue and even when I first installed DC, I could sign them. Not today however. And by sign, I am not referring to adding a scanned jpg of my actual signature or scribbling an X with my mouse. I'm talking about digital ID files. I can create a new file any time I want, but I just cannot use it. When I click on the "Fill & Sign" button, the "Request Signatures" button is active, but the "Sign Yourself" button is greyed out. Other people can sign the exact same PDF file. I can't. Any ideas?
As you are trying to add the digital signature, you do not require the Fill & Sign tool. The signature field in the form is the reason why "Sign yourself" is greyed out. If the field is already added in the form, you can simply click on the field to add the signature.
Hello,
I am having the opposite problem; I do own Fill&Sign, but it won't allow me to request signatures from others before signing/confirming it myself.
Only sign myself which would be illegal in my profession. I specifically purchased the product for this capability, it was working previously; and now does not allow me to add "sign here" or insert "date here", etc. for clients.
I have a PDF document that I need to sign digitally, but whenever I choose FILL AND SIGN, I am unable to do so as it is saying that "The author of this form has specified the field which you can fill. Click on any field to start filling form." I cannot paste my signature as well. I think the form is also secured. Please help. THANK YOU.
Its a design behavior, once the PDF is signed it gets locked for further editing. You wont be able to edit, once the PDF is signed the document becomes read-only and no further changes are allowed; even a signature can't be added in the document.
If you're the only one signer, you can remove your signature and work on the document. If the document is signed by others, you can request the initiator to share an unsigned copy or the source document with you.
This is constantly happening to me with Adobe Acrobat - as well as many other people. Someone scans a form and sends it to me. I then receive this error message and am unable to sign it. Does Adobe have plans to fix this?
as the other writer says, this is a very common and very irritating problem. Is Adobe planning on fixing this bug? Please do not reply by asking me to send video, screenshot etc. - I prefer to have Adobe's suggestion for a workaround and to hear if this will be solved permanently soon. Please note that it is only Adobe that has this problem!
I have received a document that has been digitally signed. I need to apply my signature to countersign the contract. When I click 'Fill and Sign' on the right, I do not see my normal options for pasting in my signature. Is there a way to countersign a document like this? Or am I stuck printing it off and manually signing it. I have saved these PDFs as a Word file before, only to convert back into PDF. There has to be a way to get this done, but I am to much of a novice in Adobe. I have searched for a solution but have come up with nothing.
I was missing the Certificate button on the right side of the screen. I usually just paste my signature in from a png file and fill in the rest of the information with text. I was able to create a digital signature and add the appropriate png.
We are sorry to hear that. The new version of Adobe Acrobat is now available version 21.11.20039. Please update the application form the help menu > Check for updates and reboot the computer once and see if that helps.
I have the same problem. The suggestion does not work and when I check for updates Adobe reports that the software is up to date. It was a fresh instal 4 days ago. The app aperas to have a bug or is compromised.
Hi, I am having the same issue, I click on the fountain pen image and nothing happens. If I go down the digital signature path then I select the area I want the digital signature to appear and the screen blanks out. I have to esc.
I have removed Adobe and reinstalled and ensured I have the most up to date version and nothing. I have just purchased these as I need to send signed documents protected to my client and it doesnt work. Even the protect function doesnt work either.
Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If the file is stored on a shared network/drive please download it to your computer locally and then try again.
Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.
Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here -discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...
You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.
If it still doesn't work, please remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool -docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer once and reinstall the application using the direct link

I had language settings English and Arabic (in addition to only English. When I took that away and restarted Axrobat it started working again. (windows control panel > programs and features > Adobe Acrobat > (right click) change > Adobe Acrobat Application Maintenence ...)
For your information, in the settings, mine was also english only but down the list also English and Arabic was enabled. When I disabled English and Arabic Adobe sign started working. I have no idea when and how English and Arabic was set on.
The file you referenced was not uploaded. I have created a simple form (using LiveCycle Designer), can you open this (with Acrobat) and try to sign it? This will help determine if the problem is form specific.
When I execute form in livecycle designer (pdf preview) all fields function except for the signature field. When I run form thru reader, all fields function ok EXCEPT the signature field. Do I have to extend reader rights to make this work if, so, what is the way to accomplish?
When you are doing the PDF Preview from Designer, it is loading "Reader" as the viewer, this is why the Signature field does not function (the PDF has to be Reader Extended). When testing from Designer, there is no way to "Reader Extend" the document for the PDF preview mode.
I am unable to duplicate the problem you are experiencing. I was able to use Acrobat Pro 9 and X, to apply the Reader Extension permissions (to the sample form I posted earlier) and open and sign the form in both Reader 9 and X.
Adobe DC pro - when I try and request signatures from other people I am told " you have been logged out. An unexpected error occurred, please sign out and sign back in again." I have tried this, and I have tried restarting my machine and logging into everything from scratch. Nothing works. This means I am now unable to complete my work.
I get a pop up screen when I try to apply the digital signature i get a pop up box stating that Acrobat has encountered an unexpected error.
I initially tried with the document open online
Then saved a copy to my PC's file with same results
Never had this problem before and you faithfully take my money every month
I'd attach the file but it is my corporate tax filing
Chris, I later learned from Adobe that the function I needed to use was in the "Certificates" section of Adobe DC, not in the fill & sign. There you can drag and drop a signature block. Why they chose to put it in certificates and not Fill and sign, I don't know.
Dear User, The Supervisors Signature field on page 1 is actually a text field and not a signature field.
Where as the Supervisors Signature field on page 2 is actually a signature field.(so right clicking on that automatically invokes the signing workflow)
If you want to sign the field on Page 1 , please select the Certificates Tool from the Tools menu and,click "Digitally Sign" ,draw a rectangle on the text field.And follow the steps mentioned in the comment below.
I have a digital ID set up in Adobe Acrobat DC. Whenever I use the fill and sign tool, it does not pull up the digital id. A;ll the form say "You have opened a fillable PDF form. This form does not let you drag and drop saved information." I thought that I could drag and drop the digital id anywhere on a pdf form, regardless of whether it had a created designed signature block when the form was created or not.
1. Version of your Acrobat Pro DC.
2. Could you please share the detailed steps of the issue you are facing. It will be great if you could please share a sample PDF file with us(mail it to : sagr...@adobe.com )

Adobe Acrobat Sign is the approved e-signature solution at Cal State East Bay (CSUEB). It allows faculty and staff to easily send, sign, track, and manage signature processes using a browser or mobile device.
Explanation: Adobe Sign allows account sharing, however, it is "view only" and you will not be able to act directly on behalf of the user whose account you are viewing. This is helpful when you are managing a transition or separation from a staff member in your area.
Step 4: You will see a split window with "My Account Shared" and "Shared with Me". To share your account, choose "My Account Shared With". To request to view someone else's account, click the "Shared with Me" window.
