No sign field

You open a PDF in Adobe Reader/Pro and there’s simply no sign field. Hidden under menus or absent—not obvious at all.

‍

‍

Real user examples

‍

Reddit users ask:
‍

“Aside from downloading adobe, are there any free … to add a signature field to my document?”    

Another:

“I opened a PDF and couldn’t find the signature field anywhere. Tried Prepare Form — still nothing.”  

They’re stuck without a digital signature option.

‍

‍

‍

This happens

‍

• Document lacks interactive form fields.
• PDF might be locked or static—no edits allowed.
• Users need to manually open Tools → Prepare Form or Certificates, which isn’t obvious.

‍

‍

Manual workarounds

‍

• Download Adobe Pro and enable Certificates → Digitally Sign → draw a box.  
• Use third-party editors like PDFgear.
• Print the document, sign with pen, scan, convert to PDF.

‍

All cumbersome and far from straightforward sign pdf online flow.

‍

Why this is annoying

‍

You feel like a tech beginner forced into an alien world. The goal was to sign—fast. Instead, you’re lost in options and versions.

‍

‍

How it should feel

‍

You open the document, and the spot to sign is right there. Clear. Ready. Click-sign-send.
