question about signatures

[pierret18811376]

Hello,

In Acrobat Pro I have created a signature, that is displayed in the signature tab.

I don't succeed to display several signatures in the signature tab. How to do it (ie : how to create another signature and display it in the signature tab) ?

Actually, inside acrobat pro or on the site acrobat.adobe.com, I see that I can have only one signature. How to have more than one signature ?

Because, according to the document I have to sign, I have a different signature to apply.

Hi @pierret18811376,

Thanks for your question. I think there may be a little mix-up between two different types of signatures in Acrobat:

• Digital certificate signatures (cryptographic, appear in the Signatures panel) → These are tied to a certificate. You can have multiple certificates installed (for example, personal vs. company), but each signing action uses one certificate at a time. Acrobat doesn’t “store” multiple certificates in the signature tab — that tab only shows signatures already applied to the open document.

• Fill & Sign signatures (drawn, typed, or image signatures) → These are quick “appearance” signatures, and you can save one main signature and one set of initials at a time. If you need a different look, you’ll need to clear and recreate the signature in Fill & Sign.

In Acrobat Sign (cloud service), you have more flexibility. You can:

• Manage different saved signatures (drawn, image, typed).

• Use them across any device when signing requests sent via Acrobat Sign.

• Apply signatures consistently to different documents without having to reset them each time in Fill & Sign.

The “Signatures” panel will only ever show the signatures already applied to the document, not a list of all the signatures you’ve created.

Could you confirm if you’re working with certificate-based digital signatures, Cloud based or just the Fill & Sign feature? That’ll help narrow down the exact steps.

Hello,

I have tried three solutions :

1) in the acrobat pro / signature tab : I can see my main signature, but cannot add another signature (only one signature).

2) in acrobat.adobe.com site / settings/personnal preferences/my signature : same problem (only one signature).

3) I have created a certificate and saved my other signature in it, that I can use on several documents : problems : it is very difficult to use, and it does not display all my signatures visually in a list (like in signature tab).

My goal would be  (inside acrobat pro only, ie not on the web) :

— being able to save several signature in a list, where all signature can be seen visually in this list.

— a more easy way to do that.
