We have 6 Adobe Pro licences for e-signing. I just setup a new user and the e-sign 'Add recipients' is not the same as the other crew using the same app ...

We have had one of our Office Admins leave and her replacement has started.

I transferred the Acrobat Pro licence to her and installed Acrobat Pro.

 

She is getting a different view when attempting to:

Add recipients to e-sign this document ...

on any pdf.

 

The view she is getting is attachment "Incorrect e-sign add"

 

The view the other admins see is the "Correct e-sign add"

 

Is there some config option that needs changing?

The defaults are the same on 3 machines.

App is definitely Acrobat Pro.

 

I have run the Clean Tool. Reinstalled. Removed. Reinstalled.

Logged out and used the web app then back to the desktop app.

And cannot find what is causing the difference.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.
    Could you try the following:

    • Launch Acrobat > Preferences > Adobe Online Services

    • Check the option: "Use the legacy version of request e-signature"

    • Click Ok.


      Re-launch Acrobat and let us know how it works.
