I have created a form, sent out and it was signed. I would like to make a copy of it without the signature, edit some fields, then send out for signature again. Is there a way to make a copy of a signed form? In Acrobat Pro File menu, I see only Save As (which keeps it not editable) but do not see Save a Copy.

You need to invalidate the signature first. Right-click it and select Invalidate (or Clear) Signature.

When I right-click on the signature, I get menu items for the link and no option for Invalidate or Clear signature in Acrobat Pro DC. Is this another Acrobat app?  Thanks.

Was it signed using a Digital Signature field, or something else?

Signed using digital signature I believe. The link takes be to a transaction number and that it’s valid.

The comment that there is a link to a transaction number leads me to believe you are using Adobe Sign. You can't easily clear a digital signature because you can't remove the link to the transaction, and because what you have is only a copy of the "master" that is kept by Adobe Sign.

Ah the scenario is slightly different. I am the author of the document. I sent it to personA to sign. PersonA signed it and that's good. But on an ongoing basis, I need personA to "re-confirm" information they entered. So I want to keep the 1st form signed as is, but want to make a copy, clear the signature, but keep the other information personA entered for them to re-confirm and sign.

You might be able to invalidate their signature, but I'm not 100% sure

about that. Try it through the Signatures panel on the left.

Only the person who signed can clear the signature field.

So how can we copy the pdf and redo one just like the signed copy, but without the signature?  Is this possible to eliminate refilling out the form again?
