Question

How do I disable Digital Signing in Adobe Reader 11?

All I want to do is put a signature in the box for signature.  I have in the past used a jpg of my signature, but now I am being told I have to set up a digital signature.  I do NOT want that.

Please help!!!

    I am only encountering this problem now, whereby preparing a form and adding the E-signature field demands the signer to create a digital cert signature instead of allowing them to just use the "fill & sign" function. The digital cert signature is too complicated for our users (too many steps for those who've never done it). How do I create a form field whereby the signer will just be prompted to use the fill & sign option?

    Hi Jimstinson,

    As per the description given above, I guess you are referring to Fill & Sign feature? Fill & Sign feature let you use signature image, or you can draw that too.

    You can still use Fill & Sign feature to sign document, depending on whether that document allows you to simply sign it or use digital signature only. Which means, if the form you are signing has Digital Signature fields only, then you have to sign it using digital signature.

    You can check details about Fill & Sign feature here: Sign PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    Hope this answers your query.

    Thanks,

    Akanchha

    Heya- 

    Just ran into this problem as well and found a work-around-

     

    Go into preferences, and then into signatures/ Creation and Appearance/ More / Edit -

     

    Load your signature image into the edit panel and then turn off all unwated information, logo, date, time, ect. (you can make a clean signature this way)

    then back in your document  - fill and sign, create your signature box, then your pre-loaded image should load in upon saving, you can add multiple signatures by creating separate signature profiles, if needed.

     

    ... mic-drop.
