Using the Preview App to edit a PDF form.
I added a signature to the document from the Markup Toolbar.
After adding a signature to the document, there does not appear any obvious way to remove it from the document.
I do not want to delete the signature from the list of signatures - I want to delete a signature I placed on the pdf document itself.
TIA

If you haven't saved the PDF, click on the signature, then hit "delete".
Use Edit > Undo or File > Revert To...
Yes. Once it's saved, you can no longer delete the signature. Which kind of makes sense. If you had an important document with a signature you sent to someone you wouldn't want them to be able to erase it.

Thanks but that would lose all my other changes also.
I suspect it's the only option other than masking the signature with rectangles.
I think this is actually a bug in preview.
Sadly I had saved it. Is that why I can't delete it now?
That would explain why deleting works sometimes and not others.
Sorry but I specifically said I did NOT want to delete it from the list of available signatures.
I wanted to delete it from the document itself.
But thanks for taking the time to respond.
Yes, you're right it does make sense. Just seems counter-intuitive at the time.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
