Send for signature tool missing in Acrobat DC

This morning I received an error saying the server was unavailable when I tried to upload a PDF to send for signature. After a few hours, a new message popped up saying I wasn't connected to the Internet (though I was). After finally struggling with it all day, I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Now the Send for Signature tool has disappeared. I used it yesterday without issue, but today has been a different story. Restarting and reinstalling didn't work.

My Send for Signature Tool re-appeared earlier today. I suspect it related to a server issue on the Adobe side as shortly after I tried sending for signature via the Document Cloud Files link from within the account and I was unable. A message indicated the servers was having temporary issues and that I should try later. Additionally the support section showed a banner indicating Adobe was suffering issues. If this was the cause, it would be useful if Acrobat could indicate that there is a problem with the Adobe server rather than just removing that tool altogether (suggesting if there's something wrong with the subscription or PC application).

Same exact experience for me.  Can't get Send for Signature back.

I have the exact same problem, too. I was using the "send for signature" tool earlier today. Then I also received a notification that I wasn't connected to the internet, even though I was. Now the "send for signature" tool has completely disappeared. It's not in the tool bar and I can't search for it. The only "send for" tool that pops up when I search is "send for comments." How do I get "send for signature" back?

I am also having this same problem.  Have used the "send for signature" tool MANY times this past year.  Suddenly today, I try to send a document through the "send for signature" tool, and it says I'm not connected to the internet (which I was).  Then, after closing and re-opening Acrobat, the "send for signature" tool is gone.  At the bottom of the screen is a link to the adobe cloud registration, and when clicked, it takes me to the "Adobe Sign" page, and wants me to pay for that app??  I sure hope that the "send for signature" is not now only available by purchasing yet another application...

I have the same problem: only able to select between 'Get a link' and 'Request signatures' - no 'Send a copy'. (maybe not same wording as my language is not English)

I also have this problem as of this morning. Our business has two Adobe ID's. On both PC's Adobe Acrobat indicates no internet connection if you attempt to Send for Signature - even though there is a connection. After entering the email address for the recipient my PC lost the 'Send for Signature Tool' completely. I tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat from Adobe Cloud. Send for Signature re-appeared but again indicated no internet connection. Tried to enter the email address again, and 'Send for Signature option' tool disappeared.

I checked just now and the tool is finally appearing. Very odd.
