How to unlock digitally sealed documents

Modified on Mon, 17 Jun at 7:34 PM

Electronically sealed documents, which are already secured and usually not editable, cannot be signed in Signi due to their locked nature. Thus, if users encounter sealed documents, they must unlock these documents before signing them again.


ATTENTION! When converting sealed documents, the content may be altered (e.g. original signatures removed).


Step 1: Open the page Sejda Flatten PDF

Open a web browser and go to the following page: https://www.sejda.com/flatten-pdf.



Step 2: Upload PDF 

On the main page of https://www.sejda.com/flatten-pdf, click on the "Upload PDF files" button and select the file you want to process.



Step 3: Convert PDF

Once the file has been successfully uploaded, click the Flatten PDF button. This operation is necessary to perform the process of "flattening" the scanned PDF.



Step 4: Download the corrected PDF

Click on the "Download" button to download the corrected document.



Step 5: Continue with the standard signing procedure

The downloaded corrected document can then be used for the normal Signi signature procedure.



By following this procedure, you should be able to effectively resolve issues related to sealed documents.
