Hallo zusammen,
Ich habe mit Acrobat auf dem iPad mit dem Stift-Werkzeug eine Unterschrift auf ein PDF gesetzt. Nun möchte ich, dass die Unterschrift in das PDF "eingebettet" wird und nicht mehr als Kommentar sichtbar ist, da dieser gelöscht werden kann. Eine digitale Signatur möchte ich auch nicht verwenden.
Hat da jemand eine Idee, wie ich geschriebenen Text in ein Dokument einbetten kann?

Hi there,
Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.
On iPad, when you use the Pen tool in Acrobat, it creates annotations (similar to comments) rather than permanent content. That’s why you’re seeing the signature as something that can be selected or deleted.
If you’d like the handwritten signature to become part of the PDF itself (so it’s no longer treated as an annotation), a common workaround is to:
Flatten the PDF – This process merges all annotations (including your pen tool signature) into the actual PDF content, making them non-editable.
1. On mobile, Acrobat doesn’t currently have a direct “flatten” button, but you can achieve this by printing the file to PDF (using “Print” > “Save as PDF”)
2. Use Fill & Sign – Instead of the Pen tool, try the Fill & Sign tool. When you place a signature through that, it embeds more securely and won’t appear as a regular comment.
3. Desktop Option – If you have access to Acrobat on a desktop, you can open the file and use the Print to PDF function, which will flatten everything, including your handwritten signature.
At the moment, there isn’t a one-tap option on iPad Acrobat to flatten annotations, but the print-to-PDF method is the most reliable workaround.
