EverytimeI try and manipulate a PDF with Fill & Sign with text or a signature, the whole program crashes into a "not responding" notifation at the top of the screen and the screen goes white. If Im patient enough it will come back but sometimes I have to close the program down and restart. This is slowing my job down significantly!

I have had my laptop into the tech guy and they cant find anything wrong with it. Its only PDFs and Fill & Sign that is having the issue. Same thing also happens on my husbands laptop, so I assume its something to do with my subscription?


I have the same problem with "request signature". The Fill in form where the recipient should type in their information is not working. I can only have one text-fill in form per document it seems. I have the latest version and update.


Hi, im trying to sign a formulary i just created. Im trying to use a different signature from the ones i regulary use however i dont see the option anywhere. Neither in acrobat nor in Adobe fill and sign or Adobe Sign


I tried repair installing, clean installing, installing a previous version, and no dice. It's bad enough that we can't save multiple signatures, but it is literally broken now that we can't even swap out signatures. Or, for that matter, if I make a typo for my signature, now I am stuck with it until the end of time


Great news Ben! I found the files associated with the signatures & initials. It seems like there are 3 files in total; if any one of them are deleted, it will erase both the signature and initials that you have saved.


I think it will just automatically overwrite all 3 even if you delete one, as they will all have the same datemodified after recreating them. I created a quick script for my users that deletes all of them, just in case.


It appears that this signature / initials thing is a bit of an issue in Acrobat. Users can add two signatures or initials from scanned images but there is no way to delete them, other than the way you have outlined.


I had exactly this same problem, still, even after updating to the latest version, 23.003.20244. Unfortunately, deleting the file as suggested by peeters31644761 did not work. I'm on MacOS, so I just used the signing feature on Preview, which was good enough for my purposes. It's crazy that this probelm hasn't been fixed after four years.


I found another post that saved me, because as of Nov 2023 this still isn't fixed in the actual application. Luckily though, you can change it on the web here: Afterwards, you have to close the app and open it again and wait for it to refresh.


Thank you so much, I have a headache trying so many times to chance the signatures, I solved it with your instructions, I'm very grateful. (your publication is from 2019, now, in 2022 we continue with the same problem)


I have this problem as well, clicking on the "-" sign next to my already installed signature does nothing. I cannot find a way in Adobe Acrobat DC to get rid of it or replace it. I was able to use the method described here by Peeters31644761 (Thank you!) to delete the signature files in AppData...


A possible solution to not being able to enter different signatures is, once you have successfully deleted the signature files as mentioned above by peeters31644761 and JohnnyD987, when you re-add your signature, simply uncheck the "Save signature" check box.

While this doesn't allow you to save multiple signatures and it may be a little annoying having to type in your own signature every time you need to sign something, by not saving the signature, it will allow you to enter any signature you want whenever you need to sign something


The directive Yatharth provided here did NOT work for me more precisely, the "-" button does Nothing. no error message, nor any changes. Suspect this is full of bugs. same observation as benjamina87813352.


Also tried what peeters31644761 suggested. I can't even find the 3 files anywhere. My acrobat dc is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC. Search produced no security folders or signature files


Fill, sign, and send forms fast from your desktop, browser, or mobile app. Adobe Sensei recognizes and saves commonly used data for use in a PDF form. Create a signature by drawing, importing a scan, or typing your name then securely apply it to a document.


Step 10: Tap the Profile button at the bottom of the app to get pre-filled values such as your name and date. You just need to fill in this information once, and then you can use it on all future forms you complete with the Fill & Sign app.


So, I'm filling in mortgage application form for myself, obviously the company's pdf, not my design. Am using the 'Fill and Sign' option in Adobe Acrobat. I'm filling it in digitally so that if I need to make any changes, I can.


I save the form and come back to it later - I now can't edit the entries I was previously filling in? Surely there must be some way of doing this, otherwise I'd actually have been better using pen and paper, and the 'Fill and Sign' function actually isn't fit for purpose. If that's the case, I've just wasted approximately 4/5 hours of my life as several changes are required - I now need to start again.


Surely as a signed in Adobe user, there must be a way of leaving the form fields open, even if it's only open to you as that user - or making the form editable but unable to be shared until the pdf is flattened. Sure there must be a way around it.


After a quick look, there seem to be lots of people affected by this, but no commitment to actually do anything about it. Just Adobe saying what happens... We know what happens, we'd like Adobe to do something.


What I will be doing is only re-doing the affected pages, deleting those with corrections and dragging them and dropping new pages from a blank form - so it's not quite starting again, but it's not easy.


I have the same problem and I HATE IT! Adobe is getting me really pissed off! Please fix this problem! I need Adobe Acrobat for school and with this problem frequently happening, it denies me to keep myself productive and it wastes some much useful time of me!


When using Adobe Reader on a Windows desktop, one can open a PDF and use the fill & sign option. This option does not seem to appear on the Ubuntu version of Adobe Reader. How does one fill and sign PDF documents on Ubuntu?


As pointed out by Archisman Panigrahi in the comments, Okular also has an "Insert signature" function to insert a scan of your signature. See this tutorial for more information on how to scan your signature.


I was able to sign a pdf using The service was free and worked great! When I opened the pdf from my google drive, I selected the option to sign using dochub. I uninstalled Adobe from my Linux machine as the signing part never worked right from Snap.


I'm currently running into an issue with Acrobat DC's Fill and Sign feature for signing a document where any time I use fill and sign and type in ACC it crashes the entire program. I've tried running repairs on the program and uninstalling and reinstalling and it continues to do this. I'm trying to type in ACC because it is part of my job title but can't because it crashes after the second c is typed. It does not do this with any other AC combination, only ACC. It also doesn't matter if the letters are uppercase or lower case. It seems the letter combination itself is causing the crash. Has anyone come across an issue like this or know of a solution?


It's likely due to a bug in acrobat related to trying to prefill the text. I haven't found a way to turn off this stupid feature that keeps crashing adobe but it happens a lot. If you copy and paste the test it can get by it. Try typing "ACC " with the space and paste it into the box. The troubleshooting tips are just stupid. Sign into another computer account? How is that seriously a suggestion. Other option is to use the Edit tool and then add the text outside of the fill and sign tool.


This is still happening for me even after going through the steps you suggested. In my case it isn't related to specific characters as far as I can tell. It happens after the third or fourth use of a fill and sign feature. This didn't happen prior to the update I let happen a week or two ago. The first time I thought it was because I needed to reboot after an update, and today its well after that reboot. Both times I ended up having to print the forms, fill them in by hand, and then scan them back in. I pay for Adobe, and one of the few things I actually use it for isn't working. I can't begin to convey my disappointment.


I am still having exactly this problem I can't fill in more than a few fields without Acrobat crashing. I have tried reinstalling several times and even disabling the Auto Fill feature but yet it remains on and keeps crashing!


You found a fix and you will not share it with the rest of the world because....It will be fixed? GUESS WHAT?! It's not fixed. Why not share the fix so that we can do it ourselves because clearly your team has no clue how to fix it. This secrecy is beyond stupid! Over 9000 level stupid!


Hi - I am new to this community chat. I have the lastest update of Adobe DC 2020.012.20048 and experiencing the issues discussed. Each time I try to use the "Sign Document by typing or drawing signature" within minutes my Adobe crashes and completely shutsdown. IT spent countless hours running repairs, etc. and I am still having this issue.


Adobe's Fill & Sign functionality is available for free within the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC app -- UO members who have access to Adobe's Creative Cloud and Document Cloud (i.e. current staff and faculty) will have access to use this functionality. If you aren't sure, refer to the Affiliation Resource Access Rules for your UO affiliation. Unfortunately, Adobe prohibits any exceptions to these access rules.


Fill & Sign is intended to be used by the signer of a document -- it does not provide functionality for document creators who need someone else to sign their document. For document creators requesting signatures from others, emailing the document to the signer along with a link to these instructions may fulfill their needs. For large volume signature requests or complex workflows, Adobe Sign Enterprise may be a better solution.
