Cannot Upload Image File for Signature

I'm trying to add a signature to my Adobe account in Adobe Reader DC. I have a PNG of my signature, but when I try to upload it, I can't because uploads are limited to PDF file types (?). There are no other options in the drop-down. This happens whether I go through Preferences or try to sign a document directly. Any guidance on how to upload the PNG of my signature?

There you can only PDF files. In Adobe Acrobat you can use PDF files and image files.

Hi Sharla,

There are several methods to apply signature on a document, which one to choose that depends on how the signature files has been set-up or what kind of signature has been requested.

Looking at the screenshot, I believe you have been trying to set-up a signature image for Digital Signature? Or you are just willing to add a signature image to use any time you sign the document?

  • The method you have been following is to predefined digital signature and there you can only add .pdf format.

  • You may use Fill & Sign tool>Sign>Add signature>Image>select Image>OK>Apply

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Akanchha
