Signature and Date fields not working

[Alexa23048024tq7b]

I've been creating a form (converted from word), and for some reason every single form component is behaving as a general text field, even when the Properties > Field Type has been accurately adjusted to accomodate different data types (e.g. signature, date). When I save, export, or preview, I can still only get free text in each field. I'm in the new 23 update.

Is this a Adobe Sign form? 

[Alexa23048024tq7b]

I don't think so. I'm preparing this is Adobe Acrobat Pro

You have used Properties > Field Type. This is only available in a Adobe Sign form.

Your correct, it was an Adobe Sign form. Apologies for my confusion. I wish this was more clear for newbies!

Click on Tools - Prepare Form and then click on "More" at the right side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form". In the future, do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures" when creating the form. When you do that it converts the document to an Adobe Sign form, which has limited functionality compared to a "regular" Acrobat form.

It might no longer be on the right-hand side, if you're using the new UI...

This worked perfectly thank you SO much! (I had reverted to old UI to just see if that changed things, so it was easy). 👏👏👏

I can't find the "revert to Acrobat" option - it's not in my more (three dots) section, and I don't have anything actually labelled "more".

Adobe keeps moving things around and changing their names, unfortunately.

It's the first option in that menu: "Remove e-signing options".

That solution was magic, thank you! 

Not at all intuitive that you have to "remove e-signing options" to enable a "regular" e-sign... I'm so confused, but it work, and I'm grateful!

[cayenne_2662]

I don't see a "more" in the Prepare Form section - just the three dots which gives me this menu and does not have a "Revert to Acrobat Form" option. Any tips?

This worked, thank you! Should be fixed though.
