Adobe Fill & Sign for Android
Love this app! I am disabled and as such, need to sign much paperwork with insurance, care situations and physician authorizations. I do not own a fax machine and neither can I drive. This app has proven itself to be invaluable to me, especially when time is of the essence. Yay for these developers. One thing, there could be more guidance and instructions for reading before first using the app. But it's not difficult to deal with.
Trying to use this for the first time and I'm very unimpressed. No text carried over from the PDF I had hoped to fill out and sign. 8 Dec 2016 They have reached out to troubleshoot, and I have given them the information they requested. I have only used this app for this one form PDF and it still does not have any text displayed. I have opened other PDFs that are not forms, an those show up as normal but haven't tested with any other form PDFs.
It's hard to move the text so if you need move it around to fit on a line it's a severe pain trying to select it. There should be an arrow or something to select and move text. I couldn't finish filling out my paper work because it would have taken an hour.
Documents with text are searchable. But after adding a signature using this app it appears that all text gets converted to an image. File sizes of 15 KB are now 621 KB. Zoom is no longer crisp but blurry. Now we have to consider the trade offs between the original text document and the signed image document.
I have been told numerous times that all the files i filled out were unacceptable and unusable. The text is ither too small or too big. And the signatures cover the whole document. You really need to fix this app.. It terrible an UNUSABLE...i wasted my time on this app..thanks..n pleez fix ur app
I loved this app until Adobe started injecting their sales pitch into my emails. There's no way of removing their sales pitch through the app. It appears they don't even here an ad free option. I work for a School Board and would prefer not to support a vendor this way.
Given Adobe's track record with editing software this is astonishingly deplorable. Unable to resize text field, unable to change font and font size. I'm reduced to waiting until I can use Adobe Acrobat Standard on the PC at home, making all my documents late.
Needs 1 more thing to be a great application.. Drag and drop fields. Currently you need to open the field list then select one of of the fields that need to be placed on the form and place it. Repeat each time for each field you want to add to the form. Would be so much more efficient if you were able to drag and drop the fields onto the forms.
No issues any time I use this on my S6 Edge. Signature is clear and screen is the right size to write it comfortably. Such a great new thing to introduce especially useful for people who need to sign lots of paper just to scan and send somewhere then bin. Saving paper!!!
When I opened a completed PDF form - where filled fields had no restrictions (Changing the Document was "Allowed") - the form was all empty. Not very useful in my case. I just wanted to modify a few fields.
The UI could be more intuitive. Help is very limited. Using this on a cell phone is not easy, can only be used in portrait mode and if two check boxes are close to each other you can only tick one of them not the other. And it is not at all apparent that you can resize a signature or the text that you input so that it fits the form properly, which is a pretty big fail. I expect a lot of people give up before they figure that out.
The signature is fuzzy at a reduced scale. PDF's of A0 drawings are dificult to sign this way. Line wight and colour of signature pen are limited also. When I zoom in to th signature field on an A0 document, and save, I only get the screenshot containing the signature. This app is for the basic user who only signs at the bottom of A4 pages. It's not flexible enough for anything else yet.
Number/character boxes cannot be aligned to the original properly if the original is too close to the border of the pdf. Also, placing text fields is cumbersome because you first have to place a checkmark or a dot and then long-press, click more and change to text field. Finally, text size change increments are too big.
The app stoped the sharing, so when I try to send it to my computer it says it is sending but never received it. I tried to reinstall and do it on a different device but it is the same results. But on the other hand it is easy to use and is very useful l, but the file sharing has stoped
I had to initial a document and I couldn't zoom in enough or get the box small enough to fit in the space. If you could make the zoom more functional and make it so I can make my signature and initials smaller (with better control to move the box around), I'd be ecstatic.
I want to like it and it seems like it's responsive but there are just too many bugs. It never saves my profile information, I fill it out and it is gone when I hit done and go back to it. I also filled out a form and went to go back to it and it didn't save.... It needs work
Just as described by another reviewer my original pdf is now corrupted after attempting to open it just once with this program. Not just the way it looks in this program bit if I attempt to open with any pdf refer, the once readable anywhere(but here) pdf is now unreadable anywhere. Samsung S6 Edge
App updated and lost multiple templates I created and use for work. Using a file explorer I can see they are still there. Fill & Sign just can no longer see them. Using a more direct method to open files by navigating to them in an explorer, yields no results. Fails to open the PDFs. Do not recommend for to anyone who would be a frequent user.
Why can't users have an opportunity to put in a vector signature in Adobe itself? I use my stylus to sign, but it rasterizes the signature. Believe me, a professional document looks ridiculous with a pixelated signature.
Unusable, can barley move the text and signature. It looks like the touch sensitivity is broken or does not exist. Only app I have a problem with! (Meizu Mx4 Pro). On my Nexus 7 from from 2012 works fine, (it also magnifies the area when moving text) I can drag text without any problems. Hoping for a fix because I would really like to use it on my phone.
..but for some reason there's a restriction on how small our signatures/initials can be. The smallest size overlaps other boxes on some documents, no matter how small I draw them. Not every document requires a large signature across the bottom, as required in the provided sample document. Hopefully it's addressed in the next update or I'll have to go with another..
It's a few Get your money racket. You want merge $5/month, rotate clockwise $5/month, Rotate COUNTER CLOCKWISE!$18/month. Seriously the the PdF software is not sorcery! It is however a racket. A scam to get your money...
Wow. I've been looking for a free PDF annotation for ages. This app makes is easy to fill out PDFS and sign then. It's really well done. I never write reviews but I was so happy to find that I had to write something. Thank you Adobe. Great app!
For no apparent reason, this app is restricted to portrait orientation only. As such, it unusable with most tablets that have attached keyboards. This would simple to fix, but given the generic responses being spammed to every low review here (are they automated?) I'm not that optimistic.
Great app! One improvement would be to add the permissions so that I can select a pic from my gallery and 'share' (send) it to the app. Right now, u have to open the Adobe app and search thru my gallery to select a pic to use.
Good application, however, I found that once I had saved and shared the form, the text did not align in the boxes as it did on the screen. It seemed to be an issue with working closely with the right side of the form near the edge of the screen. I strugled to get the alignment correct, I couldn't use the text for boxes tool, just the regular text tool, then moved into position that way. Very frustrating after taking time to ensure the text aligned to only find out the text didn't align once the pdf was created and shared.
I'd easy rate this app a 5 but it will not save my work to my device or SD card. I've lost work that has cost me money because after completing the docs and closing the app it craps the data into never never land to be lost forever. Leaving me to return and duplicate the work. If the app says it's saving your doc it should actually save it to a location that is searchable or let me choose where to save. Right now it saves to nowhere. Fix this please so I don't have to find another app!
I could not get the app to do anything past filling my form out. I couldn't send it anywhere and when I hit share it would say share file but never let me select where to send it. I was happy with it till I needed to use the form after it was filled out, it was stuck on the app!
This is a something that shows us how technology improving day by day. Adobe did fantastic job. Now we don't need printers or scanner. But i have problem with Signatures becaause i can't able sign with my fingers. How i can make my signature like a handwriting.
BRAVOOOO!!! THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE! There are so many unprofessional apps offering this feature, but they are either total spyware, want logins, permissions, etc etc, dint show you where signature is saved, nor allow to actually import and sign any documents, THIS IS A BE ALL END ALL SOLUTION! This is how a professional team does it! Wow! I'm sooo impressed! THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!!! I'm sharing with EVERYONE!
The app would be worth 6 stars if it would save my profile. Every time I click Done and close the editor the changes are discarded. If you could fix this or tell me how to than it is perfect.
Thanks to the prompt reply from support team, I was able to not only resize, but also now am able to move any markings I make. Excellent! This is very much needed since I don't have a stylus. Love this app and would recommend.
Will not sync your signatures to your other Adobe accounts. Only provides limited places to share your documents, Email, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Bluetooth. Does not allow you to save documents on SD Card or Phone for easy transfer. Huge let down for such a simple and basic feature that has been ignored.
The first time I used this app it worked like a dream. Best thing was it suggested words already typed which saved me time. However I was on page 13 of a 61 page document. I had to step away for an hour. It said the document was saved. When I came back I couldn't find the document. I started the form again from scratch and guess what it stopped suggesting words. I checked the setting suggested words is ticked but it doesn't work. I reinstalled the app it's still not working. So problem, I can't retrieve file I was working on, have to start from scratch and it no longer suggest words..
annonations change their location when they're saved, annonations close to the edge of the page dont show correctly, no way to select a font size or a spacing gap to keep things uniform...
Great and very useful tool, but: 1. Why convert everything to a bitmap? 2. The signature can't be resize to decent size to fit most forms; it's too large.
Had hard time using it the first time but found out a way and it is really amazing! Just need to use one for d whole column for filling in form...maximize using space and enter bar and then drag to fit. ;)
Till yesterday thus app would save my files when I backed out now every time I back out I lose my progress. Anything I'm doing wrong?
Seriously everything I could possibly want is here in this app (except maybe the ability to insert the current date instead of having to type it). Everything except the signature feature is rubbish. Obviously a signature works best with pen on paper. Best I've found in a phone is the paint function on Snapchat. Smooth strokes that match your hand movements. The ability to sign on here is about as effective as etching it into a rock. The cursive is simply horrible. Fix it for five stars.

... unlike so many other "free" signature apps that are basically Trojan horses that want to suck every bit of your data out of your devices. --- Also ad free so as not to use your precious data bandwidth. --In addition, the PDF fill out works great but I have an 8 core phone with a huge screen so I'm sure that helps.
