automatic form fields

As we are sending out contracts for signature, I would like to remove a form field that Adobe insists on installing.  It insists on installing an esignature form field at the bottom of a our contract page.  The contract already has a signature field applied.  It will not allow the contract to send unless this form field is installed(twice).  Just wondering how to edit this second automatic field out before sending.

    If you're on the new UI go to Tools - Prepare Form - Then click on the button with three dots and select "Remove e-signing options".
    If you're on the old UI it's under Tools - Prepare Form - More - Revert to Acrobat Form.

    Then you should be able to remove it, or it would disappear by itself.


    In the future, do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures" when creating the form.

    You need to search for it. If you don't see it, post a screenshot of what you are seeing, please.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
