> However, when I try to remove the signature fields using the following code:
> PDDocument pdDoc = PDDocument.load(origPDF);
>               PDDocumentCatalog catalog = pdDoc.getDocumentCatalog();
>           PDAcroForm form = catalog.getAcroForm();
>           List<PDField> acroFormFields = form.getFields();
>           for (PDField field: acroFormFields) {
>               if (field.getFieldType().equalsIgnoreCase("Sig")) {
>                       System.out.println("START removing Sign Flags");
>                       field.setReadOnly(true);
>                       field.setRequired(false);
>                       field.setNoExport(true);
>                               
>                       System.out.println("END removing Sign Flags");
>                   
>                       System.out.println("START flattenning field");          
>                       field.getAcroForm().flatten();
>                       field.getAcroForm().refreshAppearances();
>                   System.out.println("END flattenning field");
>                   
>                       //field.getAcroForm().refreshAppearances();
>               }
> The signature field is removed, but the image that was used for visible 
> signature, somehow, magically appear. (The document that I load here is the 
> one that has signature removed using origPDF = 
> doc.getSignatureDictionaries().get(0).getSignedContent(signedPDF); 
> See the attached files:
> Example.pdf (Original file)
> Example_Signed.pdf (Signed File)
> Example_Signed_orig.pdf (after removing the signature)
> Example_Signed_final.pdf (after flattening the Example_Signed_orig.pdf)
