Is there a way to move just the signature from the original appointment over to the edited version one once we have made our updates/changes to it?

Hi ​@CAMORRISON !

For privacy and security reasons, it's not possible to move or modify the original signature file in any way. This is to ensure the integrity of the signed record — once a signature is captured, it's sort of encripted into the PDF file attached to the appointment it was collected on. Allowing edits or transfers could compromise the authenticity of the signature, which is why the system is designed to keep it locked to its original context.

For some reason this is no longer the workflow since the update of the mobile app.  Originally (in previous revisions) Acumatica used to attach the signature as a PNG file to the appointment transaction. Then, for the reasons ​@vdiaz mentions above, it was automatically embedded in the PDF copy. Now, for some reason since the app has been updated, the signature simply attaches as a PNGs again, and the “Appointment Summery” document does not have a signature embedded. 

Was there a reason for the reversion back to the previous PNG attachments and removal of the signature from the generated form?

Hi ​@sgaspar72!

We haven’t made any changes to this functionality, so if it’s not working as intended it’s a bug.

Have you reported this issue to Acumatica support?
