The signature function stopped working and i get a blocked option. I cannot close by clicking the x.

I have a paid version of Acrobat, I erased the program and reinstalled it.

    Hi sulago,


    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.


    This appears to be a weird behaviour. We understand that you’ve already tried reinstalling the application. However, we recommend a complete reinstallation using the steps outlined below:


    If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please try removing the signature files from the following locations:


    • %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initials

    • %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initialsi

    • %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initialsk

    After deleting these files, reboot your machine again, then launch Acrobat and see if you can add the signatures.


    Please let us know if you need any further assistance.


    Thanks,

    Meenakshi
