I signed a pdf contract and sent it to the other party, they signed and now my signature is invalid showing error 1002 "form may silently change".

We signed with Docusign, our signature was not LTV-enabled.

They signed with Dotloop signature was LTV-Enabled.

Here is a screenshot of the signature panel from the form we sent:

Here is a screenshot of the signature panel from the document we were returned:

Here is the Appearance Integrity Report, The Error Code 1008* appeared in the document we signed and sent, but Error 1002 is new and description is "Comment or form field may silently change"

The problem is we didn't get the signed portion back until 05/03/2016 which at that date would have voided our contract. They are insisting the document was signed the date of 04/15/2016 and they dropped it off to my attorney on 04/26/2016. My attorney has no record of this.

Does this look strange to anyone else?

* I didn't create the document so I really have no idea why Error 1008 (hidden field) would show up in the report, I do know that it's consistent in both documents where 1002 is not.

Ask yourself this:

Was there any change to the form?

Filling in the second signature field is a change to the form.

Are you aware that with signed forms it is possible to see what has changed and the state of the form before the change back to original signature. So you should be able see prior version of the form with the original signature being verified.
