Thnaks you all for the explanatios... It seems the document is old, using ARE mechanism that is obsolete, and that strangely the signature is added inside the initial ByteRange... It's abnormal.

En cas de doute, signalez le message via le bouton « Signaler un courriel suspect ». Your screenshots didn't get through. This works with Thunderbird but not with other mail software that doesn't do real inline images. You'd have to upload to a sharehoster. Even then, I doubt I will have any solution based on these screenshots because these won't answer the problem / suspicion I mentioned. Yes this UR3 thing is an Adobe feature (but then, whole PDF is). Incremental saving means that the original PDF stays like it is, but that new data is appended at the end of the file. That's why I was surprised that the byte range of that UR3 signature was within the incremental segment, instead of being in the original segment only.
