If the whole document is rewritten, the byte–range originally covered by the earlier signatures changes and those signatures become invalid. + +The Syncfusion PDF Library supports incremental saving for PDF version 1.4 and above. This ensures that multiple signatures can be applied without invalidating earlier ones. +If you are working with a document that meets the version requirement (PDF 1.4+), the current version of our library correctly saves changes incrementally. This allows additional signatures to be appended while keeping prior signatures valid. + +If your PDF document is in older version (e.g., 1.3), upgrade the document to 1.4 or higher before applying multiple signatures. + ## Troubleshooting
