We have an issue with Acrobat 2020 where a user adds a signature to a PDF document they no longer have the ability to share the document. The "share" icon becomes greyed out. The ability to share the document is available prior to signing.

Hi @MCDC_IT
Sorry for the delay in response.
Depends on how you are applying the signature. Is it a Digital Signature or Fill & Sign method.
This is correct! Signing locks the document. Your document-sharing options will be disabled and limited to these options:
Or you can do it the other way around:
- Use Fill & Sign tool to apply the signature
- Use Ctrl+s or File>save/save to save the file
- Once saved, you can use the Share option
Thanks,
Akanchha
