Question

How to turn off certified signature requirement

I am using Acrobat version 11.0.14, which came with my Fujitsu ScanSnap.  In the past, I have always added my signature by clicking on the "Fill & Sign, Place Signatures" and easily dragging and dropping my scanned signature.  Last week I downloaded a fillable pdf from the IRS website and when I went to sign it, it required a certified signature.  Now, I cannot get around the certification requirement to add my signature.  Any thoughts?

Acrobat remembers the signature style you last used. If you (probably accidentally) selected certificate-based signature style, this is what you get the next time you click on "Place Signature". To the right of the 'Place Signature" is a small triangle. Click on it and you'll get the choices to change your signature style.

YOU are my hero, thank you!  You have no idea how many people tried to help me figure that out!

So flag my answer as 'Correct' so that other people can more easily find it.
