Immediately unable to clear a signature - why?

I'm using OS X 10.13.2 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2018.011.20040.

 

I was filling out a pdf form and went to sign it. Immediately after doing so, I realized I had forgotten something and tried to edit a field, but found myself unable to do so. I did not check a box to disable editing (though if it's checked by default I certainly may have left it checked on accident). After some googling I determined that I needed to delete the signature. I tried to do so but the only thing that comes up when I select and right click on the signature is "copy image." I brought up the signatures pane, but all options on the drop-down menu are greyed out.

 

I understand that you can only edit a signature if Acrobat has access to the digital ID responsible for that signature. I haven't changed computers, saved the file, closed it and re-opened it - I literally signed it, tried to edit it, found I couldn't, and then immediately found that I had zero power over the signature. Is this an intentional feature? Is there anything I can do?

 

Thanks in advance.
