Hi drork3584714,

If you unable to find the Fill & Sign tool from the Tools pane on the right side of the document, then please click on the Tools tab and choose Fill & Sign from there. You can add it as a shortcut to get it displayed in the Tools pane on the right.

If you still does not find it, then please check that the value of bEnableSignPane is set to 1 in the Windows registry under "HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown\cServices"

Let me know if this helps or not.

Regards,

Anubha

HI

in registry there is acrobat 2015 not DC.

the cServices key wasn't there, tried adding it but still with the same result.

I had this tool on the reader wandering why the writer doesn't have it ?

I found the answer to this problem.. big thanks to alisterblack in his reply to Re: Acrobat Pro DC - subscription is missing tools

Acrobat just disabled all three tools related to signature if the Application Language is not (English only). mine was English with Arabic support, and did not work until I changed it back to English.

Thanks! myn was "English with Hebrew support", changing it to "same as the operating system" resolved the issue.

Hi,

I have Acrobat Pro 2020 perpetual, MAC version (on my Macbook pro...). tried every possible thing and still not working. the whole "fill and sign" feature is missing. signature bottom is there, I click and doesn't show anything!!!! can add signatures or initials... etc

uninstalled... re installed... nothing!

changed the application language and still the whole feature is missing....

Adobe - WHY?? Also solved my problem, it's been driving me crazy! Thank you so much for posting.

Helped me out too. Thx!

[Emily274593070nbq]

Thank you so much for this - exact same here!  

[PurpleND]

Worked for me as well, thank you so much!

[Graham29442866mofd]

Thank you uaesa!  This worked for me as well.
The way I found to to change Application Language is to close all open Acrobat instances, search for Acrobat in the Start menu then Ctrl + Left Click it.  This should allow you to choose the application language to English.

Thanks a lot!!! this really worked and we were trying to solve this from two days!!

[defaultthezwgkyz9d3]

Yasss! Thanks for this! 

I also found it only worked when I selected "ask at application startup" from the dropdown, shut it down and then selected English when I opened it again. 

[James5C46]

Thankyou!  What a weird feature and fix but this worked for me.

[gspice1980]

Seven years later and this is still a thing.  I changed the language back to "same as operating system", restarted teh application, and all was well.  Thanks for posting!!

I have had the same problem, i wondered why it was coming up in Arabic when I uninstalled!

Thank you very much, you save me from more endless troubleshooting!! I don't know why Arabic people doesn't need to sign 😛 . Just kidding. Below is a link for those that don't know how to change the language.
