Question

Undo signature to undo form no longer fillable

Hi,

 

I filled out (partially) a fillable pdf form. I signed the signature part of the document and this rendered the document unfillable from that point on which was not my intent. There was no warning that this would happen. I spent alot of time filling out this document and I desperately don't want to have to fill out a brand new one.  Can I "undo" my signature so I can get the fillable fields back or is there something else I can do to get those form fillable fields back?  The fillable parts of the document had a highlighted blue section. Now the document is just black and white and I can't add any text anywhere. Please help!! this has never happened to me in a pdf field before.

I have attached the form. Now, i see that after filling in the signature the form goes all to black and white. How to undo this?

Having the same issue. Once you save the doccument it removes the fillable sections. I am about ready to uninstall.

Right-click the signature and select Clear Signature. Also, when signing you're prompted to save the file, if you saved it under a new name you can just return to the original version.

I can right click all I want but I can't make it "undo" my signature? is this because I saved the document after I filled out the signature? Am I stuck here either with a completed document or with a completely empty document? Is there actually a way i can keep my work while also being able to put more info into the form fields? The form fields are now blank and unfillable. Or is this a "can't go back or undo" situation?  Is there someone at Adobe who can or will answer this question or do I just hope the community has the niche knowledge for my question?

What do you see when you right-click it?
