Adobe Acrobat Electronic Signatures Desk Top App

Make sure you DON'T tick the "This documents requires signatures" check-box when creating the form.

If you did, go to Prepare Form mode and select More - Revert to Acrobat Form, then try it again.

If you tick that box it converts the form to Adobe Sign.

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 if it helps you get responses.

I use adobe acrobat desk top app. Sometimes it lets me add an electronic signature field to a document, sometimes not. I'm not sure what is going on. It seems that not all icons display when I'm in edit mode. When the add a e-signature field icon is displayed, I can just drag and drop the field. Why is this happening? I just want to add an e-signature field with the little red post-it arrow, save, then send the pdf document myself via email. I don't want to send the pdf via the Adobe platform. Any help from experts out there is gratefully appreciated.
