I'm trying to use the Adobe Sign feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro. I go to send the file, press the "review & send" button, then to the send screen where I press send, and get the following error message.
File upload failed
_____
We were not able to successfully establish any connection with the server. Kindly save your agreement as a draft and try again later.
Error Code: 403
Error messag also attached.
Any help is appreciated.
I found a work around!!! If you log into your adobe through the web browser - google chrome instead of logging in with the desktop app.... then view all apps, view all tools, scroll down to the bottom and click fill e-sign then request e-signature from there! it will work from within google chrome. you can then close this out and use your desktop app, it seems to bypass some glitch maybe, i dont know i am not a technical person i just clicked around and got lucky with several of our PCs here
...So it looks like Adobe Sign was having problems accessing synced online-only OneDrive files (files with a blue cloud or green tick status icons). Close Acrobat, open the folder where the PDF is located, right-click the file, and select "Always keep on this device". You should see a solid green circle with a white checkmark icon next to the file. Open the file and try to send it again.
I know there's a lot of posted discussions about this issue but I found no concrete solution so this might help.

We are receiving the exact same error today. Is this an issue on Adobe's end? We clearly have access to the internet.

I had the same problem, mine said "Error Code 0". very frustrating! I saved the draft of the PDF in Adobe Acrobat to the CLOUD and restarted my computer for good measure. I opened up my draft (that rwas saved in the cloud) from 'recent docs' that pops up when opening Acrobat. I hit "review and send" and it worked!

We're getting the error, except our's is "Error Code: 401"
We're using Acrobat Pro 2023.008.20470
We've tested logging off and on; no help
We're checking if our firewall is somehow blocking the connection; we're also going to test from a home loction
Fill and Send has never worked for us.

We were able to resolve this. My team member worked with Adobe. They needed to complete a reset on their end to resolve the issue. It took several hours but they made the adjustments to all of our users accounts.

This worked for me but also revealed the problem. Recently my company moved our Adobe accounts to another organization. I had to sign out online and sign back in again with my new organization. Even though I was signed into the new organization on Acrobat on my computer, when it was trying to upload my document to the cloud, it was running into an issue of me being signed on in the cloud under the wrong organization. Once fixed, worked just fine!

Still not getting the error message (22 Feb 2024) and just tried this but no luck. Been having this issue for weeks now hoping it would rectify but will contact Adobe today for assistance.

It appears this issue can occur if an update has been deployed for the Adobe Acrobat software but your copy of Acrobat hasn't yet updated. We had to sign out of Acrobat (this closed Acrobat) and the website in a browser. Wait a few seconds and reopen Acrobat and sign in to the software. After this the signing section worked (note the UI for it had drastically changed indicating the developers had changed that area of teh code). My best guess is the API on the Adobe Webservers for e-sign had changed and need the updated code on the client to allow access or the server refuse older Acrobat clients access until they have updated to the correct patch level. In either case its poor form in m,y book to leave paying customer hanging with a clear message as to what is going on a greyed out tiney 403 in the dialog box is unacceptable in my opinion. It should clearly state if the client needs to be updated.

Same, but "Error Code: 400". Solution: send out for signature to 10 or fewer signatories.
Tried every combination on the desctop app, saw the advice on this thread and gave it a try from the web extension. When I tried to send through there, it gave me the correct error message, so I went back to the desctop app, deleted the excess signatories and it went out without a hitch.
