Signature Image Appears Blurry and Discolored After Adobe Acrobat Last Upgrade

Hello

After upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (25.001.20630), I noticed that my signature image appears blurry, grayish, and discolored when viewing signed PDFs. This issue did not exist in previous versions, and the same PDFs display correctly in other viewers like Edge, Foxit, and Sumatra.

Here are some details:

  • The signature was created using the Therdpart tool.
  • Printing the document also results in poor image quality.
  • Disabling enhanced security settings did not resolve the issue.

Is this a known issue with the latest Acrobat version? Are there any recommended fixes or workarounds?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 I have attached the screenshot from the file layout 

 

Thanks,
Molameen
