• Unable to delete trackpad's signatures from saved PDF form files in macOS' Preview app?

    Hello,

    I filled out a PDF form, with my signature from trackpad input, and
    saved it in macOS Ventura v13.6.3's Preview app. I reopened this file in Preview and wanted to change/delete the signature before submitting it
    online. However, I couldn't delete/replace it.

    https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/tip/How-to-remove-digital-signatures-from-a-PDF
    says to use Preview's Markup toolbar, choose the Rectangular Selection,
    click on the signature, and press keyboard's delete key. However, I
    couldn't highlight this signature to delete.

    This only happens AFTER I save the filled out PDF forms with the
    signature and reopen it in Preview. I could do it BEFORE saving, exiting Preview app, and reopening the file in Preview. Am I missing something
    to do this? If this is by design, then what's the best way to remove
    only that signature so I can replace/change it?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly.
