Unable to send a PDF for signature

I am unable to send a PDF for signature because it tells me to upgrade. I click on the upgrade button but nothing happens. Is this because I only have the trial version and need to purchase the license for this to be resolved?

Hello,

I have been using Adobe Sign for the past 3 years. Every now and again I will get this issue, then the IT team will try and retry every step to fix it. The error message is always the same: "No Internet Connection" - yes I am connected to the internet.

 

Did Adobe find a fix yet? I dislike going through this every year and do not want to use docusign but will switch if this is not permanently fixed.

I'm also having this issue, same as you I have used for the past few years and then since about January whenever I click 'send for signature' it advises 'could not complete your request please try again later'.

I am able to complete e-signing using the cloud version just not the desktop. All software is up to date and repaired.

 

Anyone ever receive any useful assistance from support?

I have the exact same issue. I was requesting signatures just fine. Then, minutes later, I get the message "unable to process request" contact support. I have a paid subscription.

My user base is also running into this issue of late. Perhaps running the updates, signing out/in, and paying for a subscription matters little to Adobe any longer?

This issue must not be "assumed answered" as the exact same issue occurs today over and over, July 1, 2019. I paid for a subscription to Acrobat Reader DC precisely to be able to get documents I need signed. This "fill and sign" feature is a key part of the tools sold as part of this application. There are no updates as I just bought it yesterday. Since it appears to be a problem with an over one year history, is it true that Adobe has not fixed this bug yet still sells this application?

Please advise.

Info: Acrobat Reader and Fill & Sign is free.

Yes, but does not in fact allow it. As all the prior writers have illustrated. This bug is not fixed.

Is there a work around? I have to get document signed, paid for the program but it won't let me send to the emails listed.

Just stops at "Upgrade" to Adobe Sign as all others have given as screenshots to show.

Hi,

My Adobe flash has updated today and all of a sudden I can't send for signature, it tells me that I have to upgrade (although when you click on the button it goes nowhere).

I have the paid Acrobat Pro DC license, and use the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC software on my PC...please tell me that this is a software error and that this function hasn't been taken off the paying users?!

I am having the same issue. 

I have checked for updates.  I have signed out and signed back in.  I have run the repair.  None of which fixed the issue.  Please let me know when this bug is fixed.

Same problem here. My coworker has it too. Major problem, I'm telling you.

Someone at Adobe screwed it up.

From adobe support:

As I have checked from my end there needs to disable the antivirus program as this is the ongoing issue.

..

I would like to tell you that you just have to disable the program for a while.

Same problem I have been having all morning. After repairing, it will work briefly, then goes back to the upgrade screen. Posting here so I can return to see any resolutions.

Installing the latest update now.
