After signing a PDF on mobile, the file is locked in Adobe Acrobat on my desktop
Hello together,
I have a problem since a few days: When I sign a PDF in my Dropbox on my IPhone I can't edit the signature later in my Acrobat Adobe on my desktop. It has a little lock icon now and I can't move it.
Normal textboxes can be moved in the "Edit mode" of Adobe Acrobat, but not the signature.
I am really desperate. Thank you very much for your help, guys!

Thanks for your fast reply!
I am opening the PDF File -> Edit/Sign (Bearbeiten / Unterzeichnen) -> Sign (Unterzeichnen) -> You (Ihnen) -> and then I can draw my sign.
I am not quite sure how the buttons are labelled in English, that's why I wrote how it shows at my IPhone in German as well.- Jay

Okay, so it sounds like you signed the document officially using the Dropbox Sign interface.
It isn't possible to edit a signed document as they are legally binding and tamper-proof.
You can, however, resend the signature request and then sign that new document.
