Dear all,

 

I had a similar issue; unable to change signature in the Fill & Sign Tool drop down list.

 

Then I did this:
1. Close Adobe Reader application
2. Microsoft Windows - Go to Local(C) > Users > User(Yours) > AppData> Roaming> Adobe > Acrobat > DC > Security
3. Rename the below files
    reader_fss_signature_initials into XXXreader_fss_signature_initials
    reader_fss_signature_initiali into XXXreader_fss_signature_initiali
    reader_fss_signature_initialk into XXXreader_fss_signature_initialk
4.

That would work if the minus icon was not disable, which is the real problem in this thread...

Hi Linda

 

We are sorry to hear that. Please try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and reboot the computer once.

You may also try to reset the Acrobat preference as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...

 

Also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

 

Regards

Amal

This program is a steaming pile of garbage. It would be so incredibly easy for Adobe to let you save multiple signatures but instead we get this crap. The minus button doesn't do anything, and I don't want to hear any BS about reinstalling or going into directories to make a change that should take ONE BUTTON to do. What a waste of money.

Hello. Have you tried to long-click the 'minus' button?

This is the dumbest work around ever needed. Adobe. Fix this. Peope have been begging for year.

 

Everyone - Go into the online version of Adobe, go to settings, e-sign settings, edit settings, my preferences, my signature

 

What a waste of money for such a critical service. You have so many redic promotions on signing, but make it so difficult...

I believe something to this effect may have been what was done to get it to work correctly at the time.

However, I was lucky enough to obtain a new office computer and all works perfectly now - admittedly I know this is not helpful information for anyone suffering through the same issue.

Thank you for the help and reply,

Couldn't agree more.
Adobe Acrobat = Horrible clunky piece of 32 bit software.
Patch on top of patch on top of patch, with zero commitment from Adobe to rectify...

Have Adobe support completely remove their profile -Don't let them tell you to create a new one yourself - This happened to me on both my office PC and my home laptop - I could login with creds from my manager and it worked fine on both systems - They didn't say what they did, but after 10 minutes of saying it is a known issue, everthing worked. Can now go to sign yourself and add and remove signatures when I couldn't before.
