Hello,
Thank you for bringing this issue to the forum.
It seems that the problem arises after editing the PDF in SharePoint and then attempting to apply a digital signature using Adobe Acrobat Reader. SharePoint’s built-in PDF editor may affect the file's structure or metadata, which could interfere with the ability to digitally sign the document later.
Here are a few potential solutions:
Download Before Editing
Use Adobe Acrobat Online
File Integrity
If the issue persists after trying these methods, it may be worth reaching out to Microsoft or Adobe support, as there could be a compatibility issue between SharePoint’s PDF handling and Adobe's digital signature feature.
I hope this helps resolve your issue! Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
