SOLUTION


This is a known issue that was reported as the following bug:


1583468: Digital Signature in PDF is being removed after Image Processing


There is no workaround for this issue with Image Processing. Instead of using Image Processing, you could use Document Conversion to convert the PDF to TIFF. The signatures remain in Document conversion.


As a permanent resolution, this was addressed in fix pack 15 for KTA 7.7. (7.7.0.15). Installing the latest fix pack will resolve the issue.
