Not able to "Save as Other" when Doc has digital signature, What can I do?

When I open a document that has a digital signature (specifically from authentisign) the options for save and save other are gray and not available to use.

I talked with the digital signing software help team, they say I should be able to "save as other"  I've tried a few things, but it won't let me save them.

Is there a setting that I need to change?  Please help!  Thank you in advance!

Hello Pamm,

In Adobe Reader, you can use the " Save As Other" feature to save the PDF in Text, or Excel or Word online.

What are the options you are getting when you click on File>Save As other?

Please check the PDF properties from File menu of Adobe Reader>Properties>Security and see if the Changing the Document option is available and is allowed?

Also, Saving a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature.

Is it possible to post the screenshot of the Document Properties Security Window of the PDF? To share the screenshot, refer to https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7043#jive_content_id_How_do_I_attach_a_screenshot

Is it possible to share the PDF file with us so that we can check it at our end?

What is the dot version of Adobe Reader installed? To identify, refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

is it a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version?

Let us know how it goes and share your observation.
