I'm using Acrobat Reader DC.

I have a signature created using File&Sign. Everytime I open a PDF I can use the signature to sign documents. I have a question where exactly this signature file is stored within Adobe, if I have to all the saved signature without opening a PDF document. Where should I look for?  Is that file readable. I want to view all saved signatures.

Can I locate the file which holds signatures what is the name? Any help locating the system file will be appreciated.

Why does Adobe make everything so difficult??  Are they end users. Too many rabbit holes.

Hi ​@Dynamic_Luminary1126 - Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the experience.
If your question is related to similar to original posters question, then the “Fill and Sign” gets stored online not locally. 
Let us know if you have further questions.
