The user wants to know how to add an additional signature in the Adobe Fill & Sign app after having already saved signatures previously.

How to Add Another Signature in Adobe Fill & Sign on iPad

Product: Adobe Fill & Sign
Device & OS: iPad
Scenario: Updating or changing a saved signature to sign a new PDF form on a mobile device.
Observed behavior: The user cannot find the option to add a new signature because the app limits the number of saved signatures, requiring the removal of an existing one first.

Before you start

Ensure your Adobe Fill & Sign app is updated to the latest version on your iPad and that you have a PDF document opened in the app so you can access the signature tool.

Delete an Existing Signature to Add a New One

Adobe Fill & Sign limits your saved profiles to one primary signature and one initial. To add a new signature, you must first clear up space by deleting the existing one.

Because of the strict storage limit for signatures within the Adobe Fill & Sign app, the 'Add Signature' button disappears once you have populated the available slots. Removing your old signature is the only way to reveal the creation tool again.

Open a Document in Adobe Fill & Sign

Launch the Adobe Fill & Sign app on your iPad and tap on any PDF form or document to open the editing interface.

Access the Signature Menu

Tap the fountain pen icon located at the top menu bar or bottom toolbar to open the signature dropdown menu.

Remove the Old Signature

Locate the existing signature you wish to replace. Tap the minus (-) icon next to it, or swipe left on the signature to delete it from your saved profiles.

Create Your New Signature

Once the old signature is deleted, the 'Create Signature' option will reappear. Tap it, use your finger or an Apple Pencil to draw your new signature on the screen, and tap 'Done' to save it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see the 'Add Signature' button in Adobe Fill & Sign?

Adobe Fill & Sign limits users to one saved signature and one initial. If both slots are full, the 'Add' button is hidden automatically. You must delete an existing signature by tapping the minus icon next to it before you can add a new one.

Can I save multiple full signatures in Adobe Fill & Sign for different users?

No, the Adobe Fill & Sign application is currently designed to hold only one full signature and one set of initials at a time. To switch between different users' signatures, you will need to frequently delete the old one and recreate the new one.

Does deleting a signature in Adobe Fill & Sign remove it from previously signed documents?

No, deleting a saved signature from your profile tool only removes it from your quick-access menu. Any PDF documents that you have already signed, saved, and exported will retain the signature permanently.

Can I use an Apple Pencil to draw my signature on an iPad?

Yes, when the signature creation pad is open in Adobe Fill & Sign, you can use your Apple Pencil instead of your finger to draw a much more precise and natural-looking signature.
