- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Teams
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Creating an e-signature template for business agreements.
- Observed behavior
- The Create a Template tool is missing from the application interface, likely due to an inactive account status or missing permissions.

Verify Account Status and Admin Permissions
Check if your account is active and correctly assigned the e-signature license by your Teams administrator.
In enterprise and Teams environments, application features are strictly tied to the specific licenses assigned by the IT administrator. If the e-signature feature or template creation tool is missing, your account profile may be flagged as inactive or lacking the required Acrobat Sign module.
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of Adobe Acrobat, select Sign Out, and then sign back in. Make sure you select 'Company or School Account' if prompted, using your correct business email.
Reach out to your Adobe Teams IT Administrator and request them to verify your account status in the Adobe Admin Console.
Ask the administrator to confirm that the appropriate Acrobat Sign e-signature permissions and licenses are actively assigned to your user profile.
Once the administrator confirms your account is active and permissions are updated, completely close and reopen the Adobe Acrobat application to see if the 'Create a Template' option appears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Adobe Acrobat account showing as inactive?
Your account may show as inactive if your Teams subscription has expired, a payment failed, or your IT administrator has unassigned your license or deactivated your specific user profile in the Admin Console.
Can I create e-signature templates without an Adobe Teams subscription?
E-signature template creation in Adobe typically requires a specific premium or Teams license that includes Adobe Acrobat Sign capabilities. Without this specific license, the template creation option will remain hidden.
How do I check which Adobe licenses are assigned to me?
You can log into your Adobe account via your web browser and navigate to your plan details. However, for managed Teams accounts, you usually need to ask your IT administrator to check your exact permissions directly in the enterprise Admin Console.
