Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Fill & Sign tool missing from my default Acrobat toolbar?

Adobe Acrobat keeps the default toolbar uncluttered to maximize reading space. To access advanced features like Fill & Sign regularly, users must either use the right-hand Tools pane or manually add them via the 'Create Custom Tool' option.

Can I customize other tools in Adobe Acrobat the same way?

Yes, the 'Create Custom Tool' menu allows you to add, remove, or rearrange almost any PDF editing feature, such as Edit PDF, Organize Pages, or Add Comments, tailoring the workspace to your specific needs.

Does WPS Office support filling out interactive PDF forms seamlessly?

Absolutely. WPS Office automatically recognizes interactive PDF form fields, allowing you to directly type in information, check boxes, and apply digital or hand-drawn signatures without any extra setup.
