#Cannot edit pdf after signing pdf#
What to do if…your PDF editor is hard to use Note: This method will remove interactive elements such as hyperlinks, bookmarks, and buttons from the new version.This will create a PDF that will open in Acrobat DC.Give your file a name, then select Save.Choose Adobe PDF as the printer in the dialog box, then select Print.If you are the PDF owner and have forgotten the password, Adobe suggests the workaround of printing a copy of the document: There is no way to recover a forgotten password in Acrobat. To unlock a PDF for editing in Adobe Acrobat, you need to be the file owner and/or have the password. This can be frustrating if all you want to do is edit text or reorder the pages in your PDF-but you can’t even get into the file in the first place. If you don’t have administrator permissions and you can’t edit a PDF in preview mode, then removing security protection is more difficult. Type the password in the box, then click OK.
In Adobe Acrobat, all you have to do is go to Tools > Protect > Encrypt > Remove Security. If you created the PDF or have administrator permissions and no longer need password protection, you can easily remove this security function.

But to access more editing capabilities, you may need to upgrade to a paid subscription on Acrobat Reader Pro. The Adobe Acrobat Reader app for mobile and desktop will enable you to sign and annotate PDFs. However, this isn’t recommended for documents that contain sensitive or confidential information.Īlternatively, a PDF reader that offers an editing function may be more effective. It seems that we'll have to look at our current protocols, because a revision is necessary.One way around this may be to export your PDF from Adobe Acrobat to another application like Microsoft Word, then resaving the file as a PDF in the Save As function. fortunately some of us save copies in PREPA's servers and also require a physical copy to compare and use in the field. In my case, this should mean that, when a project is under construction, designs MUST be checked with the signed documents in our files. I understand the validation attribute, but the average person doesn't know about that, and the companies/contractor only want their work to be completed and delivered. Now, it turns out, that what is authenticate is.only the signature? You can't really trust the document. This was adopted as a way of getting into the digital age, but expecting digitally signed and locked documents to be SECURE in fact, that was precisely an advertised feature of the digital signature., authenticity would be guaranteed. where some processess require designs and other documents to be digitally signed for companies and citizens. I work at PREPA, Puerto Rico's power utility (government owned), in a dept. WOW! Then there's definitely something missing in this business of digitally distributing, working, and signing stuff.

I do probably need to update the one user's Acrobat but mine is newer and I have been told that editing a PDF after a signature shouldn't be allowed anyways.Īny idea why one person can edit the pdf when they shouldn't? The person that CAN modify the pdf, despite the signatures has Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.18.

My version is Adobe Acrobat Standard DC and the other person that has the same error has Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.12. I also get a similar(maybe exact) message from someone else. When I try to edit the PDF, it gives me the error "This document has been signed and can not be edited". The problem is that one user CAN edit the document for some reason and the other person is asking why. I know modifying the text after a signature is a security concern which is why Adobe doesn't allow it. I have users in an accounting area that want to edit a pdf to add PO's and other numbers after some initial signatures.
I know the default answer will be that it stops you by design, the problem is that I'm getting an abnormal result.
