Since it was a signature that locked the fields in the first place, unlocking the fields simply involves clearing the signature. Tip: Unlocking a field is the same thing as clearing the signature field. Only the signer clear the signed field. To unlock a field: 1. Right click on the signature field. 2. Choose Clear Signature. Other fields can now be edited.
