Normally, when you open a PDF/A document (and/or Signed), you should see a warning about this and also have a button for "Enable Editing".

If you do not see this warning, then please check via File (or Edit) > Preferences > Document Info Bar, if "PDF/A Document" is checked.

Regards.

Another thread about the same problem:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... 0&p=116768

Probably there is some setting in PDF/A documents that can prevent you definitively from being able to edit it.

Some advise from Tracker Software Support ?

Thanks for finding that other topic Willy,

Indeed there's currently no way to not see the prompt and make the file editable, but this does not seem to be the issue for andler, as his prompt seems to be turned on.
At this time I believe we will need an actual document to test with. If the original files are confidential you can send them to support@pdf-xchange.com instead of posting them here in these public forums.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Andler,

I got the e-mail but could not see any attachments to it. Can you please try sending it again?
If the file is larger than 20MB - please upload it somewhere and send us the link, as our mail server might reject any larger attachments.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello Andler,

Thank you for providing the file. This document contains a digital signature that restricts inserting of pages.

Cheers!
If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

Cheers,

Hi Patrick.
Thanks, but with the older versione 6.XXX there was no problem for insert page on document signed.

Best regards.

Hello Andrea,

Yes we were allowing this before, but there is a potential for causing changes in the file that will e.g. break the signature, and that is why we are currently not allowing modifications for signed files, and are work is being done for improving this behaviour but I can't tell you when changes to this might happen.

Regards,
Stefan
