As empresas que trabalho emito documento em word e gravo em pdf, e fazia assinatura manuscrita digital de minha assinatura (assinei uma folha sulfite escanieie e gravei no portal Adobe Acrobat Pro que pago já tem mais de um ano), e gero o Certificado Digital aquele com números e a letra rosa de Certificado A1 no fundo da imagem, acontece que todos os documentos assinados com a minha assinatura estelizada pelo Adobe Acrobat Pro sumiram e os meus clientes estão reclamando que só aparece o certificado digital minhas assinaturas manuscritas digitalizada sumiram dos documentos que enviei assinadas. Pagava o plano de 95 reais ai puxei o photoshop mas não tive sucesso ele não tira fundo de treliças de aluminio de máquinas de automação e pago mensal 135 reias para que se o Adobe Acrobat free era melhor e não sumiam com minhas assinaturas manuscritas digitalizadas.
Hello @paulo_8095
I hope you are doing well, and thanks for sharing the details.
The issue occurs where image-based signatures (like scanned handwritten ones) vanish when:
- The PDF is opened in Acrobat Pro or Reader DC.
- The document is shared via email or downloaded.
- The PDF is printed or re-saved using “Print to PDF” or similar workflows
The digital certificate (A1) remains because it’s cryptographically embedded, but the visual appearance (your scanned signature) may be lost due to:
- Signature field settings.
- PDF rendering issues.
- Compatibility problems with certain Acrobat versions.
Solution:
-
Update Acrobat Pro
Ensure you're using the latest version. Go to Menu > Help> Check for Updates, install the updates, restart the app and the machine, and try again.
-
Enable Signature Appearance
In Acrobat:
- Go to Menu > View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Signatures.
- Check if your signature image appears there.
-
Avoid “Print to PDF”
This action removes digital signatures. Instead, use Save As or Export PDF.
Use Adobe Sign for Sharing
Share signed PDFs using Acrobat’s built-in sharing tools:
-
- Click Share in the top-right corner.
- Follow the prompts to send securely. Test in Browser. Open the signed PDF in Chrome or Edge to verify if the signature image appears.
Recreate Signature Appearance
If your image signature was saved as a stamp or appearance:
-
- Go to Preferences > Signatures > Appearance > New.
- Re-upload your scanned signature and save it as a new appearance.
