Signature flattens document when saving

[Hunter C.]

I was wondering if there was a way to disable a signature causing the whole document to flatten after saving. I have a form that is saved at one point with a signature and is opened later on. Both times the form needs to be fillable.

My apologies, I am using Adobe Acrobat DC.

After investigating a little further I have found an answer my original question. My next question, is there a way to limit the form fields from all being locked to just fields that were edited/filled out?

You would need to create a custom script to do it, but yes, it should be possible.

What we be required in the script? I feel I must also add that we are using the sign yourself signature and placing it on just a line. I'm not sure if that would change things.

Yes, it would. It's not possible to do it using the Sign Yourself feature. You must use a digital signature field for that.
