Requesting e-Signatures causes program to crash

@JasonWT curious to know why as I am teaching Acrobat to my students, making sure any issues ahead of time...

When I am in Acrobat Pro, I can click on 'All Tools' and select Fill & Sign' or the 'Pen Tool' Signature

Either 'Add a Signature' and type a name in or 'Add Initials'

Be advised that that 'Fill & Sign' content in a signed PDF can't be modified in Acrobat Reader:

This is on the latest version of Acorbat Pro

If by any chance if you did indeed updated to the latest version, but maybe the previous version worked fine, you could 'Disable the new Acrobat' ... mine works...so, I am not selecting this...

hopefully this works. Also, try logging out and logging back in too. Sometimes, I have to do that on my end as I have two different adobe accounts!

Hi JasonWT,

Thank you for reaching out and reporting this.

Please update the application to the latest version released today. Then, check if it resolves the crash issue for you.

In Acrobat, go to Help > Check for updates. You may also refer to the information on the following help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html.

Same problem here

This is happening to me too. I spent hours on the phone to Adobe yesterday and they said it's a bug that should be fixed. But I've had this problem since Friday. Is yours working yet?
