Fill n Sign is greyed out for protected pdf file - Acrobat PRO trial version

Question

I have a protected PDF file with unlocked form editing and signing (lock sign -> security info). Editing is allowed, while signing is blocked and grayed out (although it works for unprotected PDFs). I am using the Adobe Reader Pro trial version.

Hi Maksym37472292lswm,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please confirm if form fields have been added to the PDF form. If yes, that could be the reason the Fill & Sign tools are greyed out. Try to click on the form fields and enter text. For more information, refer to the following help document: https://adobe.ly/3R9qGyI.

If that is not the case, share the PDF with us. We will check it on our end.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
