Hi Victoria1959,

As explained above, that might be the problem with the file on which you are trying to add signature.

Reboot your device completely and try the same again.

You may try adding signature on a different file, and see if same happens with that or not?

If it goes off with other files too, then you may try uninstalling/reinstalling the application once.

Regards,

Akanchha

Hello Nicolef,

We're sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. As per the description above, I can understand that while adding a signature in a PDF using the Fill&Sign feature in a PDF, you are getting a black screen, Is that correct?

Try signing the PDF using the mobile browser through the URL https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign and see if this brings any difference.

Try signing a different PDF file and check. Make sure that you have the latest version of the Adobe Reader mobile app installed, check for any pending updates from the app store.

What is the version of iOS installed? What is the version of the Adobe Reader mobile app installed?

Is it possible to share a screenshot of the error/issue? To share the screenshot, refer to https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7043#jive_content_id_How_do_I_attach_a_screenshot

Let us know how it goes and share your observation, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Signing the document using the mobile cloud browser worked...however would like the ability to use the native app if possible. Is there a fix in the works to correct this issue??

Thank you

Yes, the mobile cloud browser does work, but I'm like you, this should be done within the application as we have been able to do in previous releases. Also, I just may be missing it (because it isn't intuitive) but I see no avenue to sign AND certify without purchasing yet another service. Adobe, please fix this on the application that I already pay for.
