I'm using Acrobat Reader DC.
I have a signature created using File&Sign. Everytime I open a PDF I can use the signature to sign documents. I have a question where exactly this signature file is stored within Adobe, if I have to all the saved signature without opening a PDF document. Where should I look for? Is that file readable. I want to view all saved signatures.
Can I locate the file which holds signatures what is the name? Any help locating the system file will be appreciated.

Hi tdas1981 ,
Could you please tell what Operating System do you have - Windows/Mac?
These are the steps for Windows:
To find Signatures stored:
Open Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Signatures>Identities & Trusted Certificates>More>Digital IDs
To locate the file :
Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\xxxxx.pfx.
Let us know if you face any issue.
Thank You!

Hey Shivam!
I couldn't find the xxxxx.pfx file. I was really keen to extract the signature image I use in Fill & Sign. Could you please help me?
I use Windows 10, and I have also checked Hidden Items box.

I have the same issue - I can't find a xxxxx.pfx file. I just created and used a digital signature for the first time for a PDF document using "fill and sign" in Acrobat Reader. How do I use that signature on future documents? Does it come up automatically the next time I use the same tool? Can the same signature be used in Word documents?
Thanks!

Yes, it does come on next PDF docs, but not in Word.
I also wanted to extract the signature in JPG format to use in other places.

Looks like this is stored in the files reader_fss_signature_initials and reader_fss_signature_initialsi.
