The Acrobat online PDF filler tool lets you go paperless by completing fillable fields and signing documents online. After uploading a PDF, use the form filler toolbar to fill PDF form fields, including checkboxes. The online PDF editor tools also let you add text boxes, crossmarks, checkmarks, circles, lines, and dots. Then use the e-signing tools to create e-signatures, placing your signature or initials anywhere in the file. Sign in to save your file to Adobe cloud storage and download your completed form.
If you try Adobe Acrobat Pro for free for seven days on Windows or Mac, you can request signatures by sending files to other signers to e-sign fast without any hassles. Recipients receive a user-friendly link by email that allows them to sign the document online in minutes for free without downloading Acrobat. You can track the signing process, receiving real-time workflow notifications with an audit trail for easy document management.
Subscribers to the Acrobat Pro trial get access to advanced features. You can collect digital signatures with validation, add timestamps, create PDF docs, edit PDF files with PDF editor markup tools, use OCR functionality, create fillable PDF forms and templates, annotate files, resize pages, add watermarks, and convert files to and from PDF, including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Word documents. Convert PNG, JPG, and other image file formats too. You can also use Acrobat PDF tools on the go with the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app, available for your mobile device, including iPhones, other mobile phones, and tablets, such as iPads or touchpads.
Use Adobe Fill & Sign service to fill out and sign forms online easily. Sign your form by typing or drawing your signature or using an image. Send your completed forms to others and store the forms securely in Adobe Document Cloud.
The selected PDF document is prepared as a form and displayed in the browser window with the respective tools and options. Fill or add text in the form by selecting Type text in the left pane. Click at the place in the document where you want to add the text, and then start typing.
Add annotations or symbols: Annotations tools are displayed in the left-pane - Crossmark, Checkmark, Dot, Circle, and Line. You can use these annotation tools to fill in check boxes and radio buttons, as well as use to circle, underline or strikethrough text.
Click an annotation in the toolbar to select it, and then click the location in the form where you want to place the annotation. (Each click places the selected annotation at the respective location on the form.) To stop pasting annotations, click Add Text tool in the toolbar.
Resize the first annotation you place to fit the check box or radio button in the document, and the next annotations you add will be of the same size and will fit the rest of the box or circle fields.
To move the placed signature or initial, click the field to highlight it and then use the arrow keys. To delete the field, use the options in field toolbar. To resize, use the blue grab handle at the right as shown in the image below.
Once a form has been signed and sent, the data you added in Fill & Sign (text fields, annotations and signatures) will no longer be editable. You can add additional data, but cannot remove or modify the data added before the form was sent.
The Preferences and Settings page is displayed. Click Privacy in the left navigation bar. On the Privacy page, enter the email address to filter agreements associated with a particular user. To delete an agreement, click the Delete icon next to the status.

I've been having the same problems for weeks. I uninstalled Adobe DC and Creative Cloud, ran the creative cloud cleanup app, and tried reinstalling it all on my Mac but can't even get it to re-install. The signature portion of the "Fill and Sign" option doesn't work on my PC either (recently re-installed it there). Adobe chat help seems to think it's my computer, but it's happening across all computers and on other people's accounts.
I too am having problems with Fill & Sign, when I download a form and open in Acrobat Pro DC I hit the fill & sign button only to be taken to the My Profile page with Send Options at the end. I am trying to run complete work and this is impossible. PLEASE help.
This is so weird.... last night before I went to bed, I let my mac automatically upgrade to 10.4.4. Then, this morning, first thing (like I do every morning) I opened up my daily task list... it's just a simple PDF that I update every morning to plan my day with. When I tried to edit it, nothing... if I double clicked anywhere, it would take me to Adobe Exchange.
I clicked on "Prepare Form" and all the fields were missing. WFT??? So, I went into Time Machine and went back to several old versions and the same thing.... the form was not fillable and there were no fields. Then, I tried to open another file (a contract that I've been using for years and years... same thing!)
I found a solution that worked for me. I too had a PDF for which Fill & Sign didn't work. So I printed that PDF to PDF, creating a *new* PDF that was truly "flat." When I used Fill & Sign on that new PDF, I was able to enter text and checkmarks, etc. in all fields. Hope this helps!
That's what happened to me and your workaround made the trick. I think the problem is with MS Office applications' "Print to PDF" feature. When you "share as PDF" and then use Adobe's Sign & Fill, the problem disappears.
Acrobat Sign API is a great way to enhance the way you manage signed agreements. Developers can easily integrate their systems with Sign API, which provides a reliable, easy way to upload documents, send them for signing, send reminders, and collect e-signatures.
This hands-on tutorial explains how developers can use Sign API to enhance applications and workflows created with Adobe Acrobat Services. Acrobat Services includes Adobe PDF Services API, Adobe PDF Embed API (free), and Adobe Document Generation API.
More specifically, learn how to include Acrobat Sign API in your application to gather signatures and other information, such as employee information on an insurance form. Generic steps with simplified HTTP requests and responses are used. You can implement these requests in your favorite language. You can create a PDF using a combination of Acrobat Services APIs, upload it to the Sign API as a transient document, and request end-user signatures using the agreement or widget workflow.
Start by creating a Microsoft Word template and saving it as a PDF. Or, you can automate your pipeline using Document Generation API to upload a template created in Word and then generate a PDF document. Document Generation API is part of Acrobat Services, free for six months then pay-as-you-go for just or $0.05 per document transaction.
To access Sign API, you must first discover the correct access point for your account, which can be api.na1.adobesign.com, api.na4.adobesign.com, api.eu1.adobesign.com, or others, depending on your location.
Web Forms (previously known as signing widgets) are hosted documents that anyone who has access can sign. Examples of Web Forms include signup sheets, waivers, and other documents that many people access and sign online.
You can create a Web Form as DRAFT or AUTHORING, then change its state as the form passes through your application pipeline. To change a Web Form state, refer to the PUT /widgets/widgetId/state endpoint.
The next step is to discover the URL hosting the Web Form. The /widgets endpoint retrieves a list of Web Form data, including the hosted URL of the Web Form that you forward to your users, to collect signatures and other form data.
The editor enables you to drag and drop text and signature fields. After you add all the necessary fields, you can resize and align them to polish your form. Finally, click Save to create the form.
The participantSetsInfo property above provides emails of people expected to participate in the agreement and which action they perform (sign, approve, acknowledge, and so on). In the example above, there is only one participant: the signer. Written signatures are limited to four per document.
