How to save multiple signatures in Acrobat DC?

[NSEinsurance]

Is there a way to save more than one signature and initials under the fill and sign tools?

5 years after you post this,  it is still a useful comment.  Wish i had found this a couple weeks ago, would have saved some grief -- but found your suggestion now and it works.   Thank you .

I have this same issue at work.  I sign documents at work and I sign documents for my boss at work.  My work around is this:

Save one signature as a signature and the other as "initials".  There are two options on the sign button, one for signature and one for initials.  So I can sign for my boss and myself with that.  Hope it helps someone.

I also use the Siganture and Initials option to store two different signatures.  What I now need is a third signature option.  Even if it was as simple as "Signature 1" "Signature 2" "Initials 1" "Initials 2" then we could have four signatures.

I do like how Signatures means the signature goes behind the words on the letter whereas Stamps go on top of the document and covers everything that is behind it.  Which isn't helpful at all for some of the forms we use.

Brilliant!!!

Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you, chhcope! Brilliant workaround to the issue.

Great idea! Will do this (at least until I need initials!) Unfortunately we have 3 bosses! I think adobe need to actually talk to real users, not just the cloud-revenue-crew.

That's genius! Thank you! You rock!!

We do something similar to chhcope's solution. To do more than two signature we each have a secure Users folder on our network drive. We store our assigned signature images (PNG) in our Users folder. Our personal signature image is in the Signature position and we use the Initials position to rotate the other signatures we use. Once you are used to the rotating of the images, it works very quickly.

I agree that there needs to be an option to save Multiple signatures.  We have an individual signature and a signature for the Company name that we use. 

Please add the feature to save multiple signatures, for now adding a second name in the initials field is a workaround.

You can use stamps.

This is a much needed feature that existed in previous versions of Acrobat. You've now forced me to use other techniques to sign documents where multiple signatures are needed. I scanned all of the needed signatures and saved them as .PNG file. I open up the PDF file with PDFpen and insert the signatures as images and save the PDF. I open it back up in Acrobat to use Send & Track. There is a work around but it's not conducive since I'm the only one at the office with SmileOnMyMac's application PDFPen. Seriously, Adobe. This one is a no-brainer to add back in.

+1 to get additional signatures stored as a feature for a multitude of reasons - none of them dodgy or illegitimate.

Use the Certificates in Forms and Signatures for various digital signatures.

[mdavisgolfnut]

If you're using a digital PKI, create the signature and sign it. Then clear signature. The block will still be there, but empty. You can then add more signature blocks and do the same thing!

Hi Ken,

Yes, there is a way to add multiple signatures on PDF file.

Kindly refer to the link with detailed information as given below;

Get multiple signatures on a single document |

Hope this helps you with an workaround.

That is not the issue.  Oftentimes, such as in a legal office, a person needs to sign a document, "in behalf of" another person or a number of other person.  Example, one PDF requires atty #1's signature, a second PDF rquires atty #2's signature and a third document needs the person's own signature. 

As it stands under the Certificate Tool > Digitally Sign you can only have ONE Digital ID with an image of a signature added.  It won't allow multiple Digital ID's each having their own image file with signature.

[brinkmad27]

Yes, I serve various capacities legally.  Sometimes I might sign documents as myself.  Other times I sign with my name as Trustee, other times I sign as Conservator.  Within my compaany I sometimes sign as Managing Member.

Why is nobody from Adobe replying on this anymore? I find countless of these subjects, dating back to 2015. Still no update?

Right now, when my wife has to sign something, she has to delete my signature from the dropdown menu and add hers. Then, next time I have to sign something, I have to delete hers again and meddle around with my touchpad all over to get a proper signature. Every. Damn. Time.

Doesn't seem so difficult a feature to add several users to choose from, no?

[Bernd Alheit]

You can use different user acounts for your wife and you on the computer.

[margueritek]

And pay for two accounts, I presume. That doesn't sound like a useful answer.

[Bernd Alheit]

For what do you pay? What is your operating system?

[Lantz Newberry]

It seems as though Adobe dropped the multiple Digital IDs (digital signatures) in anticipation to their Adobe Sign service.  There is no other apparent reason for dropping this ability in the DC version of Acrobat, it's not as though people stopped signing for other members of thier companies!

[VincentRikkers]

Both irrelevant. We're talking about a missing program feature, not a bug only occurring in a certain system setup.

But, I pay 600 bucks a year for a full CC subscription. Your suggestion would mean my wife would have to sign the CC app out of my account, login to an account of her own, which would then need it's own paid license, just to be able to have her own signature saved? Like Margueritek said, not useful.

[Bernd Alheit]

I don't mean the login in CC. I mean the login in the computer.

[VincentRikkers]

Ah ok, sorry. Unfortunately though, that doesn't matter either. My wife could log into a personal account on the computer, but would still have to log the CC desktop app into my account for Acrobat Pro to run. Which subsequently loads my signatures..

Also, if that would work, it's still a workaround for an issue that seems to have no point existing in the first place...
