Adding a signature causes a 'Link Annotation Modified'

Hello,

If I have a document which pages are indexed and I add 2 DidSig signature on an indexed page, I get a 'Annotation Modified' on the Signature panel (left side):

The signature was newly added, no other change. Is this normal, is there a way around it?

Thanks

Since the first signature is an approval signature and not a certifying signature, we warn viewers that the document has been modified and why. This is a GOOD THING…

If you don’t want this, then use a certifying signature the first time on a document to declare the rights.

Can you post the PDF in question so we can examine it?

Sure, here is a simple document showing this behavior: Word document with table of content, converted to PDF with Acrobat Pro DC on Windows 10, then signed with 'iSign Solutions' Sign-it plug-in (formerly CIC).

Thanks so much for looking into this.

Don't know how to upload a document on this forum, but here is the dropbox link:

Dropbox - Adobe Case example document.pdf - Simplify your life

Hope this works, let me know
