Hoe do I change a digital signature?

Post by eskridge »

I recently purchased your product and in the process of familiarizing myself with the features added an administrator signature to a document. How do I delete that signature and insert the correct one?

Hi eskridge,

the main purpose of adding a digital certificate is to 'certify' the state of a document at a particular point in time. This is why you are forced to save the document when adding the signature. Hopefully when you saved it you used an amended file name so as to not overwrite the original copy.

Unfortunately there isn't any way of removing the signature once added. You may need to recreate the original PDF.

And a heads up that we are investigating the possibility of adding a feature "Remove Last Digital Signature"/"Remove All Digital Signatures" to v.3 when it is released.
