Question

Signature blocks are now acting like text boxes

Hello Community,

I desperately need your help. Acrobat Pro DC updated yesterday and now today I have two issues:

First, I cannot remove my own digital id signatures from documents I created where I previously could.

  • I would have to validate the ID first and then I could right click and remove. This is no longer possible.
  • I cannot figure out how to change the document restrictions to allow changes to the document since the update.

Second: so now that I cannot edit my previously existing forms I started creating new ones. I added both a signature field and a signature block but they are both acting like a text box instead of a signature. I can type my name in but it previously used to ask for my digital id password. It is very odd.

Thank you for any assistance!

    If you really did add a signature block, you were in the form editing mode for creating an Adobe Sign compatible form. You cannot add digital signature fields in this mode. the "signature" fields are actually text fields that have specialized behavior when use with Adobe Sign. If you want to use digital signatures, you can select "More > Revert to Acrobat Form" when in form editing mode.

      I'm having this same issue. Where is this "More" option? I see "More Tools" but don't see the "Revert to Acrobat Form" from there so you must be referring to something else.

       

      Edit: The "More" button is next to a tool icon under the align, match size, etc.
