PDF Document cannot be edited after saving

[nicholasn52814609]

I am able to download a PDF document, and fill in the form. However, when I save the document, close it, and open it again, I cannot edit anything anymore. I also cannot digitally sign any of the signature fields. When I open the document after saving and closing, I get a message that reads,

"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available."

I have another fillable PDF document that works just fine after saving and closing and does not produce the error message, and can be edited after opening again.

Can anyone help me out?

Hi Nicholasn52814609,

How did you edit the form at the very first place? is it was edited in the same application Adobe Reader?

Also, have you added any signature when you have save the document at first place?

because signing the document is the last steps, once you do that you can not edit it anymore.

Is it possible that you can send the document to us via private message? we would like to test the same at our end.

Regards,

Akanchha

I had downloaded the document from the first result in this Google search:

https://www.google.com/search?q=4651r&oq=4651r&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.2984j0j4&client=ms-android-goog...

I opened the document in Adobe and not in another tab in Google chrome. From there the lines were fillable and I could edit it. Even without a digital signature, the document cannot be edited once it has been saved, closed and opened again. how would I be able to send you the document via private message? Thanks!

I'm also having this issue.

When I open a new form to fill for the first time, I can edit away. The form has pre determined field/entry places and the cursor moves automatically to the correct place.

When I save and close, then re open, it no longer operates the same way. I select Edit PDF but it is not editable as it was originally.
