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.

This is what I see when I right-click a Digital Signature field I signed:

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.
