Question

Acrobat Pro Request e-signatures goes missing then greyed out (MacOS Sequoia)

Hello,

Been battling Acrobat Pro to request signatures on what I believe is a basic .pdf file. It's a public document, from the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage (NIAGADS), which you can download here

 

I have Acrobat Pro (v. 2024.003.20180) on MacOS Sequoia (15.0). Originally, `Request e-signatures` was missing entirely under `E-Sign`. Logging out of my corporate account and back in seemed to restore the option, but it remains greyed out.

 

All I want is to have a central document that eight people can sign without sending it around an email chain. I don't understand why this is so difficult.

 

Most of the solutions I've seen are for Windows machines. I've tried the following:

  1.  Instructions from this thread
  2.  Converting the document to `Reader Extended PDF` (no difference)
  3.  Another document that has certificate fields.

 

Would appreciate any help.

For anyone else who comes across this thread, the problem remains as of December 5, 2024 (release 

24.005.20307.0). I emailed Adobe folks privately and haven't heard back.

 

Will try to report back if I learn anything new.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Can you please share your account Id which you are using on Acrobat?

Hello Sanchi,

My account ID is my corporate ID, which I can't share publicly. Is there another way to do this?

I live in the Eastern US timezone and my schedule is generally pretty flexible.
