Upgrade to an Adobe plan that includes e-signatures
Since Adobe Export PDF does not include Send for Signature, you need to purchase a standalone e-signature service or upgrade to a different Adobe plan.
The Adobe Export PDF plan is specifically designed for converting PDFs to Word, Excel, or RTF formats. It does not include advanced e-signature capabilities like Send for Signature or Acrobat Sign. To access these features, you must upgrade your plan to one that natively supports document signing workflows.
Go to the Adobe website and sign in to your account with your Adobe ID and password.
Click on your profile icon and select 'View Account' to access the 'Plans and payment' section.
Select the option to 'Manage plan' on your Export PDF subscription, then choose 'Change plan'.
Choose a plan that includes electronic signature capabilities, such as Adobe PDF Pack, Acrobat Standard, or Acrobat Pro, and complete the checkout process.
Easily Sign and Manage PDFs with WPS Office
WPS Office includes a powerful built-in PDF reader and editor that allows you to easily sign documents, fill out forms, and convert files without needing an expensive subscription.
- 1. Open the PDF: Launch WPS Office and open the PDF document you need to sign.
- 2. Access the signature tool: Navigate to the 'Fill & Sign' or 'Insert' tab located on the top menu ribbon.
- 3. Create your signature: Click on 'Sign' and choose 'Create Signature' to draw, type, or upload an image of your signature.
