@davidmm

Thank you for getting back to us.

We would like to update you that the tentative ETA for resolution of PDFNET-45262 is Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.7 which is likely to be released around first week of July 2019. We will let you know as soon as it will be resolved. We are thankful to you for your patience.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as PDFNET-45262) have been fixed in Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.7.

Just tested it in the new version, and it has not been fixed.

@davidmm

Visibility of signature warning is depends on AppendOnly flag in document acro form.
Please use new SignaturesAppendOnly property in Aspose.Pdf.Forms.Form Class as following:

 formEditor = New FormEditor(pdfDocument)
 formEditor.AddField(FieldType.Signature, sigfieldname, PageNum, 0, 0, 0, 0)
 formEditor.SetFieldAppearance(sigfieldname, Annotations.AnnotationFlags.Invisible And Annotations.AnnotationFlags.Hidden And Annotations.AnnotationFlags.Locked And Annotations.AnnotationFlags.LockedContents And Annotations.AnnotationFlags.NoView)
' 'ADD THIS LINE:
pdfDocument.Form.SignaturesAppendOnly = False
formEditor.Save(ms)
formEditor.Close()

That line did the trick… thank you
