RFI Adobe Editing Procedures

[Clayton5F8F]

Good afternoon everyone. I am in the military and we have roughly 50 PDF's dealing with promotions that are digitally signed by three different people (One of the 50, one of the platoon leaders, and the commander). So  that alone is no easy task to get done. UNFORTUNATELY, we found out that the form we used was created in 2016, and there was a "revised" edition in 2020. However, the legitimate ONLY difference between the year is in the very bottom left it says 2020 instead of 2016. Nonetheless, we have to fix it. Since there are 3 digital signatures, what is the process to go through to be able to edit something that needs to read 2020 rather than 2016? Thank you very much in advance for all of your help.

V/R,

Clay

Hi Clayton

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As I understood from the description, you want to edit the PDF file that is already signed by 3 different users.

Once the PDF file is signed it gets locked for further editing and no changes could be made to the signed PDF file. There isn't much that can be done in this case.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Amal,

thank you for your feedback! I was told by a coworker to Microsoft print to PDF and that worked! In case anyone else has the issue just wanted to pass the solution to editing a pdf with signatures!

Doing that may well have left the images of people's signatures in place, but I'd be quite surprised if that left the digital signatures via Adobe Sign intact. But, I'd suspect that what you really cared about was the pictures of your superiors' John Hancocks, not the Adobe Sign stuff.
