Hi All,


Someone sent me some PDFs that required my signature. Normally, I just 
print the document out, sign, scan as image, and return, but this time, 
I decided to try using Adobe Reader to do it. The long and the short of 
it is that I couldn't make it work and that I'm hoping someone on this 
list can give me some pointers.


I'm running Acrobat Reader DC on a Windows 10 Machine. The official 
instructions for adding a signature are here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/signing-pdfs.html


I've moved focus to the place where I want to put my signature. I 
pressed F6 to move to Tools. I arrowed down to Fill and Sign and pressed 
enter. After I do that, I can tab once to get into an edit box, which is 
where I think I need to sign. Tabbing again puts me in another edit box 
that says something like, "Signature 72%," and tabbing again puts me on 
a Learn More link. I need to tab a couple more times to cycle back to 
the first edit box though I don't get much spoken feedback during those 
tabs.


The problem happens on this screen. When I type my name, Nothing seems 
to happen, and I'm not able to get out of the dialog without closing the 
entire app. I couldn't even move out with F6, and of course, I tried the 
context key, where the Sign option is, but neither worked.


On a different occasion, when I had nontechy sighted help, I tried just 
moving to the place where I wanted to put the signature, pressing the 
context key, and pressing enter on Add Signature. I seemed to reach the 
same dialog. The sighted person told me the insertion point was 
somewhere different from where I'd put it, and she said no new writing 
appeared when I typed. That was when I just decided to print the 
document out in my usual way.


Does anyone here know how to use Adobe Reader to sign a document?


Ciao
