Custom Digital Signature Appearances - Acrobat Pro 2020

Community Beginner ,
Mar 31, 2025 Mar 31, 2025

Hello everybody,

 

I need to change the field labels that may be included into a "Custom Digital Signature Appearance" in Acrobat Pro 2020.

 

Here is a help article about it.

https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/DigSigDC/appearances.html

 

The help article does not mention anything about how to change the field labels.

 

There is just a tickbox to turn some field labels on or off.

 

I need to change the texts of the field labels (Digitally signed by:, DN:, Reason:, Location: , etc)

 

I do not need any text formatting like bold, italic, etc,.

I only need to change the texts.

 

Just as an example, I need to change the "Digitally Signed by" into "Electronically Signed by".

 

The help article doesn't describe or even mention how to do that.

 

In Acrobat Pro 2020;

Can I do it?

How can I do it?

 

Thank you all and kind regards,

Not possible. What you can do, though, is disable all of these texts and create your own image, but it won't contain any of the dynamic information that is a part of the signature, like the date.

Thank you try67,

Someone with a little more coding knowledge could possibly achieve it by tweaking one or some of the files under this directory.

C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\2020\Security

For example, there, there is a file named appearances.acrodata
Anyway,  that is beyond my capacity.
Thanks again.
