I am using Acrobat 2017 on Windows10.
I understand that supposely once someone certificate singed a document it cannot be edited.
1) But I thought if you save it as a new PDF file you can edit but the signature goes away? That's what happend a week ago, but now it simply won't let me edit. Anyone konws what happened?
2) If I print the signed document to PDF (ie, I print, in the printer option I select PRINT TO PDF), then I can edit that .pdf document with the signature still there. Why?
Thanks.

When you Print to PDF, you get an image of the original document. The image of the signature is present, but the signature itself is not. You can't validate the signature because it isn't there, really.
