Digital Signature box won't insert properly from the point where I click and drag

Community Beginner ,
Feb 03, 2023 Feb 03, 2023

Using the Certificates tool to insert a new digital signature, the box that I draw to for my signature field doesn't form from the point where I start to click and drag.  The corner of the box moves several millimeters from the point where I start to draw it.  I have tried zooming in and out, and starting the box from multiple corners, and the same issue happens.

version: Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 10 Enterprise

Hi,

 

Was it working OK before the last update?

 

Also, does the same issue happens even after  repairing the installation?

Yes,

It was working okay on the same device before.

I'm not sure what you mean by "repairing the installation".  This is what I'm using:

Hi,

 

Just a quick follow up to see if you were anle to sort this out.

 

Just recebtly a new continuous update was pushed. If you've applied the update can you confirm if the issue is still present?

 

Also, I meant to ask if you are able to repair the installation : click Help  => Repair Installation (this is available i you are on Microsoft Windows.

 

I also checked the release  notes and there is a known issue with signing PDF with a digital signature but it pertains to Adobe Reader.

 

Nevertheless, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro shared many of the same system libraries, and I was wondering if that could be the reason. Now, the Certificates tool shouldn't be used if the PDF form that you are trying to sign already provides you with certificate-based digital signature fields (specifically if it is an old XFA government form, fro example).
