Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my signature image look blurry when I add it to a PDF?
If the original image file has a low resolution, it will lose quality and appear blurry when placed and resized in a document. To fix this, scan or photograph your signature in good lighting and save it as a high-resolution file before uploading.
Does Adobe Fill & Sign support transparent backgrounds for image signatures?
Yes, Adobe Fill & Sign fully supports transparent backgrounds. It is highly recommended to upload a PNG file with transparency so that your signature does not place a white box over lines or text on the document.
Can I sync my saved signature without an Adobe account?
No, synchronization relies on Adobe Document Cloud. You must create and sign in to a free or premium Adobe account on all your devices (computer, tablet, phone) to access your saved image signatures across them.
How do I delete or replace an old signature in Adobe Acrobat?
Open the 'Fill & Sign' tool and click the 'Sign' icon (shaped like a pen) at the top. You will see your currently saved signature. Click the minus (-) or trash can icon next to it to remove it, which will then allow you to add a new signature.
