Hello,
I am having problems filling out the form. I can't write anything because the only thing that appears in the toolbar is 'Sign'
I spent like 2 hours figuring out what is going on, even uninstalled polish version and installed english but it didn't help, neither did logging in. How can I insert the text in the form?
Thank you in advance.

This will also happen if you open a form with actual form fields in the "Fill & Sign" tool, the existing form fields can be filled out inside of Fill & Sign or just in Acrobat/Reader outside of the Fill & Sign tool, but any PDF with real "field" (Acroform or XFA) will not show the tools in Fill & Sign to add text fields and checkboxes etc. Fill & Sign can still be used to add a simple signature to an Acroform and you can just click inside the highlighted fields (should be highlighted) to add information.
Thanks,
Josh

Maybe the file is secured or does not allow adding comments or filling-in form fields...

Well the form is degined to be filled-in, so that would be odd. I don't see any 'protection', but how can I check it to be 100% sure?

Go to File - Properties - Security and check what is allowed and what is not allowed there.

Hello
I have spent the last 5 hours trying to find the problem with not being able to sign the adobe reader document. I have purchased the adobe sign to enable me to get past the download of the signature file and then move past start.
NOTHING IS WORKING.
I can not access a file-security promp
I cannot access a signature
I cannot download and open the file in adobe signature
nor can I sign the document in the reader
This is a complete hoax.
Please help

I am having this EXACT PROBLEM on an iMac running Catalina. I have a fillable form from the MN Secretary of State, and I cannot seem to put any text in the fillable boxes. According to online help, I am supposed to see a toolbar at the top with an abc icon, and it is NOT THERE. The answer below tells me why (an incredible screwup by Adobe), but does not tell me what the work around is. How do I enter text in the fillable boxes -- or is "fill and sign" just a mirage?

I sent an email with a screenshot and the form, but as you'll see below, neither of them can be seen. How can I share them to this forum?
