Preview Signatures disappeared

Hi,


After recently upgrading to High Sierra, my signatures I used to annotate PDF's in Preview have disappeared. Cant find how to get them back without re-adding them manually (I had quite a few).


Any Ideas of an easy way to get those signatures back with our re-entering? I have the same signatures on another mac - can you transfer the files across somehow?


Cheers for the help!

Thanks for your reply. Wasn’t an issue to find the drop down menu, rather that menu that once had signature images to select is now blank and asks me to recreate my signatures every time I use them.


I managed to solve the problem - it was actually a KeyChain issue - macOS signed me out of keychain with the Highness sierra install. The signatures came back as soon as I logged back into KeyChain. Thanks again.

This didn't work for me. I am still using El Capitan, but have updated it to its current version, 10.11.6, which has probably modified Preview since El Capitan was first installed. I don't recall the last time I used Preview to sign a form, but all my signatures are gone now from the drop-down menu, and the versions it creates from the camera are terrible, as are those from the trackbar. I still have files of signatures on the iMac, but don't know how to get them into Preview (I'm willing to try from the sudo command line). Any suggestions?
