Question

Why can't you continue to fill a PDF after filling it once?

We have a PDF for a form that requires a field be entered at a later date by a different individual, but workflow will only let you fill out a form once, after that if you try to fill it again, it says that the PDF file did not match.

Are you merging the field content into the image the first time it's filled out?

Yes, from what I know, merging makes the text visible, otherwise it will be hidden.

Then the error is correct, you no longer have a PDF form with fillable fields.

You might want to try aligning field data instead if you want to make the text visible and keep the fillable PDF. Whether text in form fields is visible by default seems to vary from PDF to PDF.
