E-Sign Greyed Out

I have an end-user who can e-sign any document that is created by us, there are no issues. As soon as she and her co-worker recieve a PDF to sign from external companies the option is greyed out. They have had multiple documents come from external parties that would not allow them to e-sign on.

 

I checked the security settings for the PDF's and they were marked as being ALLOWED to sign. I've tried updating the application. I've tried to remove the application and install/update again. I've also tried to use tools such as Revo Uninstaller which help delete files/folders/registery keys left behind after an uninstall and removed those items, as well. This still would not work for the e-sign capabilities.

 

Again, other documents are fine to sign. I suggested to the end-user that it could be the way the sender is setting up the documents, but there haven't been any signs of the document properties showing this to be the case.

Hi @evan_7164 

Will it be possible to share one such document  as the creator of the document might be different which is not creating the field properly. 

 

Thanks,
