PDF Downloads unexpectedly password protected

Hi team,

Over the last few days, when I download a signed envelope to my computer, the pdf is automatically becoming password protected. I have no idea what the password would be. 

 

Any ideas on why this is happening? It’s only affecting me out of our whole team.

    Great news, I've found a workaround that actually works! I used to be able to edit pages - delete, add, reorder, etc., but now, when I download the file from Docusign, I don’t have that option anymore. If I save as PDF, then there’s also a password which is non-existent. I opened the file on Chrome, and clicked on print then instead of printing I saved as PDF. And guess what? Now the file is open for edits!

    I’ve run into the same problem. My only work around is to print the documents to a PDF from DocuSign.
