I have a template that is about 50 pages and I need to delete ONE page from the template. How can i do this? I watched the tutorial on how to edit and delete templates which I understand but Im looking to just delete a single page of a template rather than having to go back and redo the entire thing.

Correct answer Meenakshi Negi

Is there a way to remove a single page or pages from a template? Anyone figure this out? It's INSANE that this is not an easy intuitive function. Also super difficult just to copy a template Adobe sign getting an F right now.


Hi joshheine,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

 

The option to remove a page from the template is unavailable in Acrobat Sign. You will need to change the original document and then update it as a template. 

You may only change the form fields in the template in Acrobat Sign.

For more information on the template, refer to the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/create-document-template.html

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

After a few calls with Adobe and my case being elevated THREE times, I was told that there was no way to edit the pages of a template. They suggested combining a PDF and editing the template before putting it into Acrobat Sign, though that does not even remotely help the problem because you still have to go through and add each field in manually any time a single piece of paper changes.

 

Something I figured out is that you can save each page or a group of pages to a PDF and add it as a template and send the signer multiple fillable/signable PDFs and send it. Still not ideal, though. It would be nice if you had the ability to edit pages in the template.

I also have the same problem, but as well as needing to delete a page, I also need to add a new page

Same question.  Seems a waste to have to start a template over from scratch if only one page is obsolete.  A solution for this issue would be greatly appreciated!

TLDR: need to delete a page from a FFL template in Adobe Sign

 

I created a template for a form-field layer (for a contract), which has a lot of participant-specific permissions set. I went to run the FFL template a new contract and was told: "The template has ## pages and exceeds the number of pages remaining in the agreement." ...becaue this contract PDF has three fewer pages than the version used for the FFL template. - I hate to lose all the time and work creating the FFL's participant permissions, but the only way to not repeat seems like deleting pages from the FFL template, which I cannot find an option to do.

Hi-

I have adobe sign and have made a few templates to use and now we need to delete one of those pages.  Is there a way to do that without having to create a whole new template?

Thanks!!

This should be a BASIC function. Very frustrating.

I have been on hold with support for an hour and a half.... no joke. Can you help me? Is there a way to add conditions to a radio box? For example if the radio box is "CHECKED" a set of fields pop up. If its not checked they stay hidden?

There is, but you do that in the other fields rather than in the checkbox/radiobutton. 

I'm not sure if you're referring to a checkbox or a radio button, as those are different.

This is for a checkbox:

If your field name is CheckBox, you'd do the following on each field you want revealed when it's checked:

Right click on the field, select Edit, click Conditions, select "Show" this field when "Any" of the following condition(s) are true.

In the first box, select CheckBox.  In the second box, select Is.  In the final box, select Checked. 

For a radio button named RadioButton with named options Yes and No, you'd do the following:

Right click on the field, select Edit, click Conditions, select "Show" this field when "Any" of the following condition(s) are true.

In the first box, select RadioButton.  In the second box, select Is.  In the final box, select Yes (or No, or your relevant value). 

You can then use "Copy All" and "Paste" to copy the condition onto other fields.

Hope this helps.

Okay so what I want to do is add radioboxes right next to List A and List B. When i add the radiobox it asks how many and i say two... i moved them to be sitting next to list a and list b... i then went to edit and said required. Meaning they have to pick one of the two. Now if they pick A they need to fill the boxes below... So i click on "Document title" under list A and say edit and go to the conditions tab. I want this field to show if they have picked choice A...

(show) this field when (all) of the following conditions are true:

(custom radio 4) ... then i get lost? there is no option for A or B... the only options are =,<,> etc....

Im sorry I just dont understand still.


First, right click and select edit on the radio button by A.  Where it says "Value", enter A.  It most likely defaulted to a number, and I had been assuming you'd renamed the value fields already.  Renaming the fields and values is a good habit to be in, because it makes writing formulas and conditions much easier.

Do the same for the button by B, but enter B.

Do what you were doing before, for Document title:

(show) this field when (all) of the following conditions are true:

(custom radio 4) (=) (A)

Please let me know / mark helpful if it works for you.

There's no way to do it in Sign that I know of.

If you did some of the initial form work in Acrobat, you can remove the page there and reimport the file, but otherwise I don't know of any shortcuts.  Sorry.
