Question

Deleting pages from documents that have been electronically signed via Docusign.

Hello,

I am using the Acrobat DC reader and while all tools are accessible for me to use within, "Organize Pages"--I am unable to delete or even separate pages after I obtained signatures within the document through Docusign.

The only other method I can think of is printing out these documents as a hard copy and physically removing them from the stack to re-scan all over again.

Please advise as I would like to know if the functionality to remove/delete pages for signed documents is available.

Best,

Katrina

Whatever means you use to delete pages will remove or invalidate the signature.

Actually, it did not change the signatures at all. Either on the initial document that I pull the pages from nor on the pages that I pulled, or extracted. It did not remove the signatures nor did it change them in any way.

I have been able to remove pages by taking that DocuSign PDF and printing it to Microsoft Print to PDF. I am then able to remove the pages I wish to.

    Should have added, then opened that pdf by Adobe, and then do the organize pages.

    Also, signed documents are not meant to be edited in any (meaningful) way. That is the exact purpose of the digital signature...

    Thank you!! I've been trying to come up with a way to say that to my colleagues because I was given a task to separate signed documents (digitally) into their corresponding employee folders. It looks like I have to go with the longer route by printing them as hard copies and re-uploading them.

    Acrobat Reader can't delete pages.

    Sorry should've checked my app! Meant to say Adobe Acrobat DC!
