    Hi antonioa84467839 ,

    Would like to inform that you may add new signature on a document using Fill & Sign option .

    On clicking 'Sign' option it will show your previously used signatures, On clicking the '-' sign will bring the option for 'Add Signature'

    using which you may place sew signature in the document.

    Refer to this article :  Using Acrobat Reader DC Fill & Sign

    SOLVED!!

    By accident I found that double-clicking (left mouse button) on the minus next to the signature actually works!

    And strangely after using the method described above, the problem disapeared. So, currently the minus sign will respond to a single click.

          The directive Yatharth provided here did NOT work for me more precisely, the "-" button does Nothing. no error message, nor any changes. Suspect this is full of bugs. same observation as benjamina87813352.

          Also tried what peeters31644761 suggested. I can't even find the 3 files anywhere. My acrobat dc is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC. Search produced no security folders or signature files

          I'm having the same problem. I can't delete the fill and save signature from my profile. I use a shared work laptop and don't want my signature saved on there... can anyone help?

          Clicking on the '-' sign next to the previously used signatures does nothing. Right clicking does nothing. I cannot remove or edit my previously used signatures.

            Great news Ben! I found the files associated with the signatures & initials. It seems like there are 3 files in total; if any one of them are deleted, it will erase both the signature and initials that you have saved.

            %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initials

            %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initialsi

            %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Security\acrobat_fss_signature_initialsk

            If you have the Fill & Sign applet open when you delete the files, you will simply need to close the tool (or switch to another one) and reopen. No need to even close Acrobat.

            I think it will just automatically overwrite all 3 even if you delete one, as they will all have the same datemodified after recreating them. I created a quick script for my users that deletes all of them, just in case.

            Now we just have to wait for Adobe to address their button not working. Not holding my breath for that one


            Great piece of advice peeters31644761

            Many thanks for taking the time to post it.

            It appears that this signature / initials thing is a bit of an issue in Acrobat. Users can add two signatures or initials from scanned images but there is no way to delete them, other than the way you have outlined.

            Ive just deleted my signature and initials from a work laptop thanks to your advice.

            Adobe - can you take a look at this issue please? We are now in 2020 and it is still impossible to remove signatures / initials from Acrobat as the grey "-" key doesn't work.

             

            Many thanks
