    Hi. To anyone that uses adobe acrobat reader dc, is there a way to recover a signature? I had saved my signature on it a while back so whenever i had to sign documents i would just click on sign and there is that signature that i saved a while back and just bring it to the signature line. Its in the top where you see the Sign and when I click on it, it gives option of add signature and add initials. Previously I had my signature there but its no longer there.


    The issue though is i accidentally clicked on the hyphen - next to it... which deleted it. So when this happened, I decided to just close the acrobat reader dc document that was opened and not save changes... thinking the saved signature would be there. But when i open acrobat reader dc... its no longer there. It was my signature that i wrote on a piece of paper a while back and took a picture with it on my iphone i believe and saved it to acrobat reader dc.


    Does anyone know if there is a way to recover it? Because im shocked clicking that hyphen deleted it just like that.


    Another question I have is how do you delete something you typed onto a document in acrobat reader dc? Im trying to delete something i typed such as a date and change the date and when i bring the mouse there, iall i see is type text here. How do I delete this?


    Thanks.

    To delete something it's always been Edit>Undo.
    As for the signature I honestly do not know...I use a andriod app called JetSign.

    You should really contact Adobe support about this since this is their software and they tell you more what you can do.
