Question

How do I digitally sign a PDF in Adobe Document Cloud?

Hi, I am wondering if there is functionality in Adobe Document Cloud that would allow a user to open a PDF using the Adobe Document Cloud option in SharePoint and then digitally sign the PDF? I can open the document but not sure if I need a premium account to be able to do this, or if it is not possible with Document Cloud. 

 

Additionally, can password protected PDF's be opened in Document Cloud? I received an error when trying one but after I edited it in Reader and saved a copy, I was able to open in Doc Cloud through SP but could not edit or sign. I received a warning message that some form fields are not supported in the viewer. I imagine those were the digital signature placeholders that I can see in Reader DC.

Hi @Jeff24536454kx4n 

 

For the digital signature, you must use the Acrobat Reader DC desktop app which is freeware. Yes, you can password protect your PDF on Acrobat online but you need the Acrobat subscription. 

 

Let us know if that helps.

 

Thanks,

Harsh

Thanks Harsh! I read a paper from Adobe's website that indicated digital signatures were available on Document Cloud with Enterprise subscription. Is that not true? I'm wondering if I could get a subscription to a premium account that would allow me to digitally sign in Document Cloud.
