E-signature limitations

Last updated on Apr 30, 2026

Learn about the limitations of the Request e-signature feature of Acrobat on the web.

The Request e-signatures feature does not support the following functionalities:

  • Text tag field conversion: Text tag formatted fields are not supported. However, the Acrobat Sign template still supports text tag processing. You can create an Acrobat Sign template from a document containing a text tag and then use the generated template to create an agreement.
  • Agreement level notes: The option to apply notes to an agreement has been removed from the interface and isn't expected to be reintroduced.
  • Acrobat Sign template data download: The option to download the Acrobat Sign template data isn't available. To download the template data, you can either use the Create agreements feature on Acrobat on desktop or upgrade to a subscription plan. 
  • Access to legacy drafts: Legacy drafts are not supported in the Request e-signatures tool. To use a legacy draft, you can convert it into an Acrobat Sign template for future agreements.
