How do I remove the date/time stamp from the signature?

[Sara5E3B]

Hi everyone,

Can someone explain how do I remove the date/time stamp from under an adobe signed document - or keep it from showing in the first place? 

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you referring to a textfield that doesn't reset to blank after a digital signature field is cleared?

[Sara5E3B]

Hi,

Thanks for asking. When I get the signed document, it has a date and time electronic stamp that I don't know how to remove - or to keep from appearing. I assume there must be a setting where I can disable the stamp, but I don't know where to find it.

Yes, try67 provided the correct guidance.

If you're referring to a digital signature field, you need to create a new appearance for your signature profile and make sure to un-tick the "Date" check-box under Configure Text:

How do you find these options?

In the Sign dialog click the Create button next to "Appearance" and you'll be able to add a new one:

Maybe my issue is completely different. But, I want to set the system to not add the date and time stamp blue line under a signature requested on a document. 

Is there a setting in AdobePro that allows me to remove this?

Hi! I have a similar problem, is there a way to add the date on a signature but without the timestamp? So basically just the date. So for example in the photo below, only "2025.03.29". Is it possible?

Eventually, if it's also possible to change the format to day/month/year would be great, thanks!

Hi @juancarlos94 ,

Yes you can. To eliminate the timestamp, it is already answered on this thread.

But you may aldo employ a JavaScript script to execute at signing time, using the util.printd() method.

Util.printd() allows to manipulate the desired format of a date output.
