Question

Unable to Access Adobe Sign

I recently purchased an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription.  This is a personal account.  When my account was created, something didn't happen correctly on the back end and I am unable to access Adobe Sign.  All attempts to use the eSignature features in Acrobat Pro tell my access denied and to contact my administrator.  But this is a personal account.

 

If I try to access Preferences - Adobe online services - E-signing Settings, I get a "NO_SIGN_USER" error and it says auth.services.adobe.com refused to connect.  If I try to login to the Adobe Acrobat Sign webpage, it says invalid password.  If I try to reset the password from that page, I get an email that says there is no Adobe Acrobat Sign account associated with that email address.

 

If I try to chat with your AI bot, it just tells me Adobe Sign is not included with Adobe Acrobat Pro personal which is just false.  Please help me get the e-Signing working on my account.  It is the only reason why I bought the account nearly a month ago and I haven't been able to use it.

@Sara_St. John5621 the AI bot is correct. Acorbat Pro is an intensive PDF editor with integrated e-signature tools and functionality  great for individuals/teams needing full PDF control and basic signing while 
Adobe Sign is a standalone e-signature solution, cloud-based platform for advanced, enterprise workflows

Acrobat Sign (aka Adobe Sign): https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/business/sign.html
Acrobat Pro: https://www.adobe.com/ca/acrobat.html

Let's get back to Acrobat Pro which you bought. Go to Help and click to Sign Out. Go to your web browser (do this for all your web browser, just in case (do all-time not the last hour), and clear the history, cache and cookies — it might be a syncing issue that might be in a loop; so, I normally clear my history, cache and cookies to my Chrome, Safari and Edge . 
Now, go back into Acrobat Pro and re-open it with th email that you bought Acrobat Pro with.

Go to Tools and scroll down to Forms & Signatures.  If by chance you still can't see it, type in signatures beside the search tools field
