Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Adobe signature not syncing to my mobile device?

This usually happens if you are signed into different Adobe IDs on your devices, or if the 'Save Signature' or 'Save online' option was not checked when you initially created the signature. Ensure both applications are logged into the same account and the sync option is active.

Can I use multiple saved signatures across my devices?

Adobe Fill & Sign typically allows you to save one primary signature and one initial. Both of these will sync across your devices provided you have enabled the online saving feature during their creation.

Do I need a paid subscription to sync my signature?

No, syncing a basic Fill & Sign electronic signature only requires a free Adobe account. You simply need to log in with your Adobe ID to utilize the cloud synchronization functionality for your signature.
