How do you keep a PDF editable after someone has signed it, to allow another person to add to the form and sign it via the editable sections. It appears to not be editable once a person has signed and saved the form.

Which kind of signatures do you mean exactly?

Do you mean mere images of ink signatures? Do you mean applying a digital signature in your local Acrobat using local cryprographic key material? Or do you mean applying signatures using the Adobe Acrobat Sign service? What the next person is allowed or disallowed to do depends on which of these options you mean and which parameters you set.

I mean just applying a signature to an editable form so generally an image of an ink signature or one saved in Adobe that has been drawn. But I also need the PDF to stioll be editable after the first person signature so that another can add details such as name and date and possibly still be able to edit any check boxes or other editable sections and then sign aswell.

Just adding an image of an ink signature should not make a difference for the next person. How do you add the image?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

This is the design behaviour. Once the signature process is complete, the PDF files are locked for further editing, thereby securing the integrity of the document.

If you want to have multiple signatures on the PDF file, please check the steps shared in the help page https://adobe.ly/4k5qAne
