Checkmarks for Checkboxes are Removed when Requesting Signatures

New Here ,
May 16, 2024 May 16, 2024

I have checked boxes in filled forms that I need to get signatures for, but everytime I click request signatures and prepare the document, it either unchecks the boxes or inserts new checkboxes. It does not remove already filled in text nor radio boxes.  I've tried this on the website, adobe.acrobat.com too and that is not a solution because it routinely crashes or cannot finish creating the documents. Any advice on how I can fix this issue in the desktop app?

  2. click on the very Top Right corner profile icon to get a dropdown.
  3. on the dropdown click on settings
  4. this should open up a popover settings menu
  5. There is a heading "E-signing settings"
    UNCHECK the box that says "Request e-signatures [] Use the latest version of Request e-signatures.

Hi Rob37318177j8pg,

 

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

 

The team is aware of the issue and working on the fix. We will update you once the fix patch is available. 

In the meantime, we suggest using the workaround. Add the Checkboxes in Acrobat Sign. 

We appreciate your patience.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I'm now experiencing this problem in a different form on the new Adobe Sign UI on the website version. I have a pre-filled out form with several checkboxes marked, and in some signed versions, either some checkboxes are unchecked, or some rows of checkboxes (same name different export value) are all checked, when only one was prior to completion.

Hi Rob37318177j8pg ,

 

Thank you for sharing the information.

 

If the form fields have the same name, the information filled in one field will automatically be reflected in the others. It is the designed behavior of forms. 

Please share the PDF form you are using here so we can check.

 

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
