I am unable to add digitial signature on my PDF docuemnts

Normally when opening a pdf document, on the top right hand corner of the screen there are three radio button available (also available under "view" dropdown menu on the top left hand corner) "TOOLS" "SIGN" and "COMMENTS"

Using the "SIGN" command I was able to add digital signature on PDF documents and save myself time from printing and scanning.

Since last few days, the "SIGN" command is not available anymore when I open the PDF file.

Can anyone please help me understand how can I retrieve the "SIGN" command to enable me digital signing.

Kind Regards
Areef

If you are on a Windows system, use the Repair option in the Help menu. If this does not fix your problem, you may have to re-install your software. If you are running the free Adobe Reader, just uninstall, download a fresh installer and re-install. If you are running Acrobat, it gets a bit more involved if you don't have access to your installer: You can lookup and re-download your version of Acrobat via the "My Orders" page on Adobe's website: https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html

You an also lookup your serial number on the "My Products" page: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader

And, if the download via "My Orders" does not work, you can find the installer here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html

You may even consider running Adobe's Cleaner application to make sure that nothing from your old installation remains on the system: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Hai aareef,

Try the steps following.

1. Press F8 for enable / disable the toolbar.
2. Once the toolbar is enable right click(mouse) on the toolbar.
3. Click / select the Tasks to add tools in toolbar.
4. Now you can see the sign icon in your toolbar.
