Unable to sign pdf forms and receive an APPEARANCE INTEGRITY REPORT

[C78004923S]

I have a user that is using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 and she is unable to sign pdf forms, when I check the review details option the "Appearance Integrity" Report shows the following:

-  4000 unrecognized PDF content

- 1001 comment or form field may silently change

- 1008 document contains hidden behaviors

- 1005 the document contains an XFA based form

I uninstalled the software, deleted all remaining folders, removed the certificates, cleared the SSL state, and restarted the computer. After re-installing the software she still have the same problem.

Any assistance is much appreciated

Are there signature fields in the XFA forms?

[C78004923S]

Yes with the red 'sign here" tab

I am having the same issue as reported in this thread with all PDFs that I try to sign. It just came on recently as I was able to sign before with no issues. I have Adobe Acrobat 2020 (20.001.30025) on Windows 10. I have tried to do a repair instalation and re-installation with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?
