    You can change the name in the properties of the field.

    I could able to see General, Appearance, Position and Options only. Once I right click on the field, I am able to see rename. Once reemove the special charactors, Signature field is converting to Text Field.

    I need Signature field without special charectors in that field name.

    Thank you.

    Hi social_skillebe4,


    Thank you for reaching out and sharing the information.

    It looks like you are using an Acrobat Sign form, and this behavior is by design.

    If you are simply trying to create a PDF form with a signature field, please follow the steps below:

    • Click on the three dots next to the “Prepare a form” title in the tool pane on the left.

    • Select "Remove signing options."

    • Now, try to add the signature field again and see if that works.


    For more information on creating a PDF form, refer to the following help document: Convert documents to PDF forms.

    Thanks,
