Apr 06, 2016 Apr 06, 2016

I have had a user who informed me she could edit a signed PDF's on Adobe Acrobat Standard Version X

Since our upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Standard Version XI she cannot edit signed PDF's

I have tried with both versions and I was unsuccessful at editing signed PDF's

please advise?

Hi ,

Could you please explain what exactly are you trying to perform?

Please explain the workflow.

What exactly are you experiencing while trying to edit a PDF?

How are you trying to edit the PDF?

I hope the PDF is not protected with a certificate.

What OS do you work on?

Regards

Sukrit Dhingra

That's expected behavior. When you sign a PDF it prevents it from being edited (except for form fields, if you allow for that). That's one of the main reasons to use a digital signature: It assures you that the file is not edited in any way after you signed it.
