Hi, your Acrobat form issue looks centered on signature-field behavior, especially the submit action and eSign incompatibility on Mac. I’d start by inspecting the PDF structure, field properties, and any platform-specific Acrobat differences that may be affecting the signature workflow. I’ve fixed Acrobat forms with broken actions, misconfigured signature fields, and cross-device quirks. My focus would be on restoring the submit action, checking field permissions, and verifying whether the current setup is compatible with Adobe Sign/eSign behavior. I’d test the form in Acrobat on Mac and Windows, compare field settings, and isolate whether the issue is in the form design or a client-side Acrobat limitation. Then I’d make the smallest clean fix possible so the form behaves consistently. If you’d like, I can review the PDF and outline the exact fix. Best regards, Gabriel

The signature field property action failing to submit the form is the immediate technical risk, and I address this by debugging the JavaScript actions within Acrobat. I'll rebuild the signature field properties and test submission workflows directly in Acrobat Pro DC, also verifying eSign functionality. The goal is a functional Acrobat form you can use. What version of Acrobat are you using on your Mac? I need the attached form to begin. I have a 5.0 rating across 10 reviews on here, and Preferred Freelancer status.

Hello, Adam from New Jersey here. The hard part of your Acrobat form issue is resolving the signature field’s "submit a form" action not working consistently across platforms, especially Mac, while enabling eSign functionality without breaking workflow. I will: 1. Analyze your attached form’s signature field properties and script to identify why the submit action fails and eSign is blocked. 2. Test the form on both Windows and Mac environments to replicate the inconsistent behavior. 3. Adjust field settings and JavaScript to ensure cross-platform compatibility and smooth eSign integration. 4. Deliver a fixed form with documented changes and a test plan for your review. I recently fixed a similar Adobe Acrobat form where submit actions failed due to conflicting JavaScript and platform-specific quirks, restoring full eSign support. Another project involved troubleshooting complex PDF workflows with signature fields for a legal client, ensuring consistent behavior on Mac and Windows. Could you share which Adobe Acrobat version and eSign provider you use? Also, do you want the form to submit data to a URL or email? Please send the form file and any error messages you see. I’m ready to start with your form analysis as soon as you provide these. Thanks, Adam.

ACROBAT SIGNATURE ISSUES ARE OFTEN CAUSED BY FIELD ACTIONS, DOCUMENT RESTRICTIONS, OR SIGNING COMPATIBILITY. I can troubleshoot the signature field, the “Submit a Form” action, eSign behavior, and the differences you’re seeing on Mac. I’d check the field properties, document permissions, signing settings, and form compatibility to identify the actual issue without unnecessarily rebuilding the form. If you can share the actual Acrobat form, I can tailor the approach around the specific fields and settings involved. Best regards, Hamza

Hello! - Jean-Guy here from Atlanta to support you with your project⚡. As a V-Worker Founder with 20+ Yrs of experience since 2006 in Adobe Acrobat and PDF form development, I see you're looking to fix a broken Acrobat form that has issues with a signature field's "Submit a Form" action, eSign functionality not working, and inconsistent behavior across Mac vs. Windows environments. The most critical challenge here is the Submit action tied to the signature field — this often breaks due to incorrect URL/email submit configurations, conflicting JavaScript, or PDF version compatibility issues. I'll audit the field properties, action triggers, and form structure to isolate the root cause and apply a clean, tested fix. My approach: I'll review the attached form thoroughly, resolve the signature/submit action, ensure eSign compatibility (checking Reader-enabling rights and certificate settings), and test cross-platform behavior on both Mac and Windows to eliminate the inconsistent experience you're seeing. One quick question — is this form currently Reader-enabled or does it require full Acrobat to fill out? Also, are you using Adobe Sign for the eSign feature, or a third-party solution? I'm confident we can get this resolved quickly and cleanly — looking forward to connecting! Best, Jean-Guy.
