Cannot sign a PDF locally

Hi,

I'm running Acrobat Pro, Mac 2022.003.20310 (but this has been happening for the past year with earlier versions too).

 

To reproduce:

  • Click "Fill & Sign"
  • "Sign yourself" and add signature.
  • Click "Next" and "Save as read-only copy"
  • Message briefly appears at the bottom: "Creating a read-only copy of the file"
  • Error message appears: "An error occurred while uploading. Please try again."

 

Things I've tried, with no luck:

  • I'm not trying to upload anywhere, just save locally from/to ~/Downloads.
  • I've tried turning off Enhanced security settings and adding my ~/Downloads folder as a Privileged Location. 
  • I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled, including using AppCleaner to completely remove any old settings that might be lurking.

 

Any thoughts?
