Adobe Acrobat DC Sign & Fill - one letter at a time...

I am trying to solve an issue that has been driving me bonkers for quite some time now. I am unable to find anything online. Here is goes: I use Adobe Pro DC and frequently utilize Fill & Sign. Lately however, it only lets me fill on one character and then I have to re-click the box with my mouse to add another letter. Needless to say - that's not going to work for me and I keep defaulting to text boxes. Has anybody encountered that and if so, do you have a fix for me? Thank you in advance!

I had the same problem. Looks like too many applicatins opening an issue. Just close all the apps and try If it doesn't work, restart and use it. It worked for me.

Also, if you have Reader as your default browser, keep Acrobat DC as your default browser. Not sure if that has any impact. But, I also did this while closing all the apps. 

Over all it worked for me after the above actions.

Hi there

 

We are sorry for the trouble. As described you are not able to fil and sign the PDF as etting the option fill only one character at a time.

 

What is the workflow/steps you are doing to fill and sign the PDF? Please try to fill and sign the document online https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/tools/?group=group-sign and see it that helps.

 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Adobe Acrobat DCand make sure you have the latest version 20.009.20074 installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates.

 

Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If its a file specific issue please share the file with us for testing.

 

Are you on a Mac or Windows machine and what is the OS? Please try to repair the installation (For Windows Only) Go to Help > Repair Installation and see if that makes any difference.

 

Keep us posted with the results

 

Regards

Amal

I'm having the same issue.  Tried all the suggestions previously listed.  The only solution is to reboot...but the issue starts again after using Fill & Sign a couple of times. This is a new issue and I have been a Acrobat Pro DC user for over 2 years.

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC's Fill & Sign feature. While I don't have real-time updates on software issues, I can suggest a few troubleshooting steps that might help resolve your problem:

  1. Update Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Sometimes, software updates include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve issues like the one you're facing.

  2. Clear Cache and Temporary Files: Clearing cache and temporary files can help resolve unexpected behavior. In Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, you can do this by going to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Document Category" > "Clear Cache" and then restart the application.

  3. Reset Preferences: Sometimes, preferences or settings files can become corrupted and cause issues. You can try resetting preferences by holding down the "Ctrl" key (or "Command" key on Mac) while launching Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It will ask if you want to reset preferences to default.

  4. Check for Interference: Sometimes, third-party plugins or conflicting software can cause issues with Adobe Acrobat. Try disabling any third-party plugins you might have installed and see if the issue persists.

  5. Try a Different Document: It's possible that the issue might be specific to the document you're working on. Try using Fill & Sign on a different PDF document to see if the problem persists.

  6. Contact Adobe Support: If none of the above steps help, it might be best to contact Adobe Support. They can provide you with specific assistance tailored to your situation.

Remember to back up your settings and important documents before attempting any major changes to your software. Additionally, since I don't have real-time updates on software issues, there might have been changes or fixes made by Adobe after my last update in September 2021. It's always a good idea to check Adobe's official support resources or community forums for the most up-to-date information on troubleshooting. chaat

I understand the frustration you're facing with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC's Fill & Sign feature. It seems like you're encountering a problem where you can only input one character at a time before having to click the box again to continue. While I can't provide real-time troubleshooting, I can offer you some general steps to try in order to resolve this issue:

 

Step 1: Clear Cache and Temporary Files

Sometimes, cached files can cause glitches in Adobe software. Try clearing the cache and temporary files associated with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. To do this:

  1. Close Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
  2. Navigate to the location where Adobe stores its cache files. This is usually in a folder named "Adobe" within your user's AppData or Library folder.
  3. Delete the contents of the "Cache" folder.

 

Step 2: Update Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Outdated software can often lead to compatibility issues. Ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC installed:

  1. Open Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
  2. Go to the "Help" menu.
  3. Select "Check for Updates" and follow the prompts to update the software if available.

 

Step 3: Reset Preferences

Resetting preferences can sometimes fix software-related glitches. Here's how:

  1. Close Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
  2. Hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) while launching the software. Keep holding the key until a dialog box appears.
  3. Confirm that you want to reset preferences.

 

Step 4: Repair Installation

If none of the above steps work, you might need to repair your Adobe Acrobat Pro DC installation:

  1. Close Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
  2. Open the "Control Panel" (Windows) or "Applications" folder (Mac).
  3. Find Adobe Acrobat Pro DC in the list of installed programs or applications.
  4. Select "Repair" or "Uninstall/Change" and follow the prompts to repair the installation.

 

Step 5: Contact Adobe Support

If the issue persists, it might be best to contact Adobe's customer support. They can provide personalized assistance and might be aware of any specific solutions for the problem you're facing.

Remember that these steps are general guidelines and might not directly address your exact issue. Make sure to back up any important files and settings before making changes to your software. If you're not comfortable with technical troubleshooting, it's always a good idea to seek help from a tech-savvy friend or professional. By Donysterling
