Question details
The user is unable to send a PDF document for signature because the Adobe Acrobat Reader Fill & Sign upload process freezes indefinitely at 60%.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Trying to use the Fill & Sign feature to send a document for signature via Adobe cloud services.
- Observed behavior
- The document upload process halts exactly at 60% and fails to progress, regardless of the computer or file used.
Ensure your internet connection is stable and verify that you have not exceeded the monthly transaction allowance for your Adobe free sending service.
Refresh Account Session and Check Allowances
Signing out and back in can refresh your connection to Adobe servers, and verifying your sending limits ensures your account isn't temporarily restricted.
Adobe Acrobat Reader's free tier limits the number of signature requests you can send every 30 days. If the server detects a limit issue or a stale login token, the upload may freeze.
Click on the profile icon in the top right corner of Adobe Acrobat Reader and select 'Sign Out'.
Log into your Adobe Document Cloud account via a web browser to confirm you still have free sends remaining for the current 30-day period.
Return to the desktop application, sign back in with your Adobe credentials, and attempt to use the Fill & Sign feature again.
Clear App Cache and Disable VPNs
Network security tools and corrupted cache files can interfere with the connection to Adobe Document Cloud, causing the upload to stall.
Use WPS Office to Fill and Sign PDFs Locally
Avoid cloud upload errors and account limits by using the WPS PDF editor to locally fill, sign, and manage your documents securely.
- 1. Open PDF in WPS Office: Launch WPS Office and open your PDF document using the built-in PDF Editor.
- 2. Access the Fill & Sign Tools: Navigate to the 'Protect' or 'Insert' tab and click on the 'Sign' or 'PDF Signature' button.
- 3. Create and Apply Signature: Draw, type, or import your signature, place it in the required field, and save the document locally without any cloud upload delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Adobe Fill and Sign freeze at 60 percent?
This usually happens due to a disconnection with Adobe Document Cloud servers, an expired login session, active VPN interference, or reaching the monthly limit for free signature requests.
How many free signatures do I get with Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Free users typically get a limited number of signature transactions (often two) per 30-day period. Once exceeded, uploads may fail or prompt an upgrade.
Can I sign a PDF offline without uploading it?
Yes. While Adobe's send-for-signature feature requires cloud uploading, you can use local signing tools like WPS PDF to add a personal signature offline and save the document directly to your computer.
Does clearing the cache fix Adobe upload errors?
Yes. Clearing corrupted temporary data and browser caches often resolves syncing issues and upload freezes between the desktop app and Adobe servers.
