Hi Ckr,
Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the digital signature gets removed after merging them into different PDF files.
Once the PDF is signed it gets locked for further changes. It is a design behavior, once the PDF is signed using a digital signature any change in the document will invalidate the digital signature.
