I am unable to sign Adobe Reader 9 signature fields.

Hi,
I received a PDF  that I need to sign digitally. However, when I try to sign the signature field, nothing happens. Specifically, when I click the field with my mouse, nothing happens.
In more detail:
1. I move my mouse over the field, and a dialog box appears saying "Unsigned signature field (Click to sign)".
2. I click the field, but nothing happens.
3. When I go to Document --> Sign --> and I view the options, all the options (such as "Sign Document" or "Apply Ink Signature") are grayed out. I have included an image to illustrate what I am saying.
It should be noted that I initially tried to do this with Adobe Reader 11. After that didn't work, I re-installed Adobe Reader 11 and tried again, but it still didn't work. Then I switched to Adobe Reader 9, and it doesn't work. Any thoughts on what's going on here?

In my quest to find out what's wrong, I also discovered that when I try to save any changes, a box appears saying: "Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form." Might the two issues be related?

  • Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

    I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

    I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.

  • Error message: Your trial has expired. Unable to use adobe reader to open PDF's.

    I have reinstalled the reader several times and keep getting the same error message. My CS6 is working fine.

    Does the error actually say "Unable to use Adobe Reader..."?
    If not, it could be that you have the trial version of Acrobat installed and were using it to open PDF's instead of Reader (Reader doesn't have a trial)?
    If so, you can change your file associations to open PDF's with Reader (how to do this varies by your OS) or install Reader.

    I can use Adobe Reader on some documents but not all.  I believe I have downloaded the correct software.  I am using Firefox on a Mac with 10.8.4
    Can anyone help?

    Are these scanned documents?  If scanned documents have not been OCR-ed, then they are just images without any searchable text.
    Try if you can highlight any text in such documents.

  • Unable to get Adobe Reader to open.

    I am unable to get Adobe Reader to open. I am on Windows XP, SP3 and I have tried with Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11. When I try opening a PDF file, if I look in the Task Manager, the AcroRd32.exe process will appear, however nothing shows up under the Applications tab.

            OK, I got my Adobe Reader working. The solution for me was found on the "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL--can't open pdf files as a result<http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391917?tstart=0>" thread. It was post 51 on the thread by envsafety and it involved downloading and running

    You cannot download programs from anywhere but the official App Store.
    Flash is not available but Adobe does have a version of Adobe reader in the App Store-it is for reading PDFs.
