Text fields show a signature box when clicking on the text box

[mfoley0184]

Hi,

I can no longer click on a text field to fill it in. A prompt for a signature shows up and I cannot figure out how to make it go away. I am now having to use the tab key to edit those fields. These fields are NOT signature fields, nor were they edited as a signature field. How do I make it stop prompting for a signature for every single box?

I also have this problem. A bug from the recent update?

Here's a solution/workaround: Solved: How do I make Adobesign ignore pdf fields? - Adobe Community - 10017139

Still super annoying though

This doesn't solve this problem.  That just gets rid of the form fields all together, making it even more useless.

When I remade the form fields after flattening, I didn't have the signature prompt anymore. It is more work but it's the only way to reach the end goal that I have found.

Hi mfoley0184 and David34119913j48m,

Thank you for reaching out and reporting this issue.

Please check and let us know if the issue occurs with all the PDFs. Did you start experiencing this behavior after the recent update? 

It would be helpful if you could share the PDF form with the issue and the screen recording of the steps you take to fill out the form. Also, share the Acrobat and OS versions currently in use.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

This started happening to many people this week, there were several threads posted yesterday about this issue.  It's not specific to any certain PDF.

Each new version of Acrobat adds bugs to those in previous versions.
It's getting dramatic. When will this game of massacre stop?

Hi All,

Thank you for your patience so far.

The issue has been resolved. Please reboot the machine and then relaunch Acrobat.

Then, wait for some time and try to fill out the forms again. 

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
