Question

Why won't my signature image show?

In Acrobat Reader DC I'm trying to setup a Digital ID with an image of a handwritten signature. I have a png and a jpg image of said signature which I want to import. When I go to Tool->Preferences->Signatures->Creation and Appearance->More I can find the method to make a signature just fine. The same goes for making a Digital ID certificate. However, when I try to add the image nothing but the additional text is shown in the preview, nor when I add the signature to the document. Please see the image below.

Anyone know what's going on?

Convert the image to a PDF file and import the PDF file.

Is the background still transparent with a .pdf image?


Unfortunately, you can only make a page sized pdf file, so your signature is a tiny thing at the top of your signature window. I agree, this is dumb especially since it works with the Fill and Sign option. There you can import a PNG or JPG.
