Convert PDF to PDF/A issue concerning signatures

Hello!

To convert PDF files with signature to PDF/A, it is necessary to remove the signature before conversion (using PdfFileSignature.removeSignature). This way, I get a valid PDF/A document after conversion. But if there was some kind of signature block in the input document, it is lost in the resulting document.
So I want to ask, if it is possible to remove the signature data itself, but preserve the visible signature block in the document?

Kind regards

Could you please share a sample PDF for our reference as well so that we can test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Attached is a signed input pdf and the PDF/A converted output without the signature block at the end of the document: signedPdf.zip (186.0 KB)

Is it possible to remove the signature data itself, but preserve the visible signature block in the document?
