How do I add a new signature when the add signature option isn't showing?

When clicking on sign I can only use the existing previously saved 2 signatures.

How do I get the add signature button back?

Hi Sandy

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are unable to add new signature as its showing you the previously added 2 signatures.

Please look at the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/reader/using/fill-and-sign.html#sign_and_initial_form for more information.

 

Hope this will help

Thank you Amal. That does help.

Is there a way to add a "stamp" to documents (like adding a signature, but just a few lines of plain text, ideally with text formatted if possible)?

Your design sucks. Remove this limitation or make it obvious to the user why the add signature option is hidden from them.

Thank you, Amal!! This problem has been confounding me for a year. Why Adobe doesn't just SAY this in that dialogue box or elsewhere obvious in the fill and sign feature is incredible. Anyway, I'm so glad to have found the answer here.

Just wanted to add that I also wanted to add more signatures, as I need to sign on behalf of family members.  Will try out stamps, but could not figure out what was wrong that I couldn't add more buttons.  Would be helpful if you added a note to your documentation.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. It's a design behavior of the application. You may share your request with the engineering team here https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Previous Reader versions allowed multiple signatures to be stored. Why does Adobe reduce functionality and charge almost double for less functionality??!

Only one signature capability is a bug. Please restore the previous functionality!

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

You can store one signature and one initial under the fill and sign tool. For more information, please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/signing-pdfs.html

If its not working as expected, Try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

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

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

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

This is a stupid policy of limiting the number of signatures.
