Fill and Sign Issues

Hello, 

 

We've been experiencing issues with Acrobat DC where the screen greys out when trying to create or add a signature. I've seen other topics on this issue but none of those fixes have worked. I installed Adobe Creative Cloud and then installed Acrobat. I've made sure that the native OS box is checked as I'm on a Macbook Pro 2021 M1. I've also unchecked use modern interface for signing. Has this issue been resolved or is there plans in the work to resolve this issue?

 

Thanks

Hi Mattty V

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the toruble.

 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 22.1.20117 (Win), 20112 (Mac) installed Go to help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

 

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check if the file is stored on a shared network/drive please download it to your computer locally and check.

 

As you have already tried some troubleshooting steps with no luck, please try to reset the Acrobat preferences to default as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...

 

You may also stry to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

 

Regards

Amal

Hello Amal,

 

I currently have version 2022.001.20112 (Adobe Acrobat Pro DC). Checking for updates gives me error: 301. So I've uninstalled/reinstalled but still get that error.

 

The fill and sign issue happens with multiple PDFs. 

 

Thanks

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences and use the application in the new test user profile as described earlier and see if that works.

Hi Amal, 

 

Issue still remains on new profile as well. Is this an issue for devices with the M1 processor? I used Acrobat online via chrome browser and it works correctly there, which clearly points to this being an app issue. Please advise. 

 

Thanks

Amal, 

 

I attached the video. Also I just learned that the same issue is happening when people are using the redacting feature as well. In regards to the logs they've been uploaded to the log collector portal. The file name is:

 

AdobeLogs_20220610_104604_446-mac-GS

 

Please let me know if you need anything else.

 

Thanks,

Same problem here. I just bought a MacBook Pro, downloaded Acrobat DC and tried to put wet signature. I saved signature sample  in preferences but  it does not show up when I try to put it on a document. Clicking on + signature makes my screen grey. I wish you did not change anything in older versions and get paid for sitting on your asses doing nothing. Your improvements make users' life horrible. It's like the Idiocracy is already here.

The new version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC  22.1.20142 is now available. Please try to update the application to the recent version. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once and check if that helps.

 

Thanks for your time and patience

Amal, 

 

We have done this before and now we seem to be going through a loop with you guys. I have provided logs, your team was supposed to investigate and you were supposed to let me know the findings of that investigation.Yet the issue is still present. How can you treat paying customers this way? This has been an issue for months now.

Hi Amal,

 

These are steps that have been completed already. Please see the attached screenshots. Adobe is updated, Use Modern Interface is unchecked, you can see I'm still getting a grey screen when attempting to sign or redact etc.

Hi Paolo,

 

Thanks for trying out the suggestions.

 

We need some more information, as required by our engineering team :

 

  1. How many users are impacted? In case you have multiple licenses please share the number of licenses.
  2. Is the issue always reproducible?
  3. After entering the Fill & Sign app, Can you wait for some time and then try to add a signature?
  4. Please share fiddler logs as well. To check if it's a network-related issue.
  5. Mac OS version?

 

Regards

Amal
