Signing a signed PDF

[SEA_One]

I requested that a document be signed and now I would like to add a signature to it in a section that has not been signed. I am using Adobe DC .  I clicked on the Sign Document by typing or drawing a signature icon. Then I see a message that says the author of this form has specified the fields which you can fill. 

I am unable to add a signature. What do I need to do in order to be able to add a signature?

Thank you.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are unable to sign the PDF which is already signed.

Would you mind sharing the workflow/steps you did to request the signature on the PDF initially? Have you sent it as email attachment or via Adobe sign.

Once the PDF is signed and the signature process is complete the PDF gets locked for further editing and the document becomes read-only and no further changes are allowed; even a signature can’t be added in the document.

If you got a signed PDF, you can request the signer to remove the signature and share the PDF or send an unsigned copy of the PDF, right-click the signature and then choose Clear Signature as described in the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/kb/edit-signed-PDF.html

You may also check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/send-for-signature.html#Continuous to get the documents signed by others.

Hope this information will help

Hello,

I went to https://documentcloud.adobe.com/ and logged in 

Clicked on the sign drop-down menu

clicked on request signature

chose a template

and sent it to someone to be signed, but I would like to be able to sign the document after they have signed it.

I would like to review also that they have completed the form correctly before I sign it.

What do I need to change in my workflow?

Thank you.

Hi there

Thanks for sharing the details. As you are using the Adobe Sign workflow to send the documents for signature, please make sure that you are entering your email address as well in the recipients list so that once the user signs the document it will come to you for signature. Once All the signers will sign the PDF it will become read only and no further changes will be allowed.

For more information about getting the documents signed by others please look at the steps shared in th the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/send-for-signature.html#Continuous

The processs is simple. Just select Sign from the top tools bar. After this, select Fill & Sign and create the signatures on the PDF document.
