Hi alexi70171409,

Can you please share the pdf file to analyze the issue.

Also can you please tell us the Acrobat/Reader version that you are using.

Could you sign the pdf earlier and facing this issue after any update?

Is there a solution to this problem?

I had the same issue: After signing Acrobat DC stopped and afterwards, when I opened the document again, I received this error regarding the signature: "Error during signature verification. Error encountered while BER decoding:"

 

I signed some docs yesterday and then it worked fine. I restarted my PC, but the error is still the same.

    It was installed Foxit reader, with him I successful sign the files, but not with Acrobat reader. Now I uninstall Fpoxit, restart the system and reinstall Acrobat and  signature, but problem isn`t solved. I tried your recommended link with same effect.  :-(

Thank you!
