Hi,

In the Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad app, you can modify a newly added signature before you close the currently opened PDF document.

Once you tap the Back button (<) in the top bar to close the currently opened document, the signature in the document will be saved and finalized.  You will no longer be able to modify the signature (e.g. resize, move, change color) or remove it from the PDF document.

Hope this clarify things for you.

I have a similar question. I see how to remove a signature in the list of signatures, but I want to use the same form over and over again and multiple people will use the form. I need a way to removed the finalized signature. I have a reset form button on the form, but that doesn't remove the finalized signature.

 

I am a safety specialist and I have checklists and forms for safety items. Right now, since you can't removed the finalized signature from the previous use of the form, the individual users would have to delete and reload the PDF to acrobat in order to start with a completely new form with no finalized signature.

 

There needs to be a way to backout of the form without saving ANYTHING, field entries or signatures. It is not efficient for me to require employees to reload the form into acobat each time. Is there any options that solve this issue?

This is a stupid feature of a pdf EDITOR app. Especially if you used the app to input the signature in the first place. Please remove. It adds significant inconvenience and does not improve security whatsoever
