Question

Unable to Esign via Desktop Application (Directed to Web App)

Hi,

 

My Adobe Acrobat recently updated to version "Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (24.003.20112) and the e-sign feature has disappeared. When I select all tools it directs me to the Web App to e-sign which is incredibly inconvenient. My laptop uses the same version of Acrobat and still has the feature natively.

 

Please can anyone assist in restoring this? Thanks

Hi @Josh26536783ujvk,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat!

 

I checked your account, and the entitlement seems to be active. Also, since you mentioned you are able to use it on your laptop, I would suggest checking the registry if the key "cServices" is available in the given location:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown\

 

If not, please right-click the FeatureLockDown-> create-> key-> name the key "cServices."

Once done, create the below D-words:

bToggleManageSign

bToggleAdobeSign

bToggleFSSSignatureSaving

 

Change the value for each of them to "0"

 

For more info, refer to this article: Lockable Settings (https://adobe.ly/3NrXH7f)

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Souvik,

 

Thank you for the assistance. I have just tried the steps this morning however there is no change. I have tried restarting the PC also.

 

 

Is there anything else we could try?

 

Thanks,

Josh

Hi @Josh26536783ujvk

 

Thanks for the response!

 

Please run the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html, reboot the computer once, and install the application using the direct link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html and see if that works for you.
