Adds the equivalent of a 'wet ink' signature to Adobe PDF Documents
PDF Signing Digital Certificates
Allows users to attach certified signatures to Adobe PDF Documents, as well as add permissions to control future changes.
Certifying & Approval Signatures
GlobalSign is an authorized participant in Adobe's Certified Document Services (CDS) program and operates under a stringent set of policies and standards developed by Adobe and audited by WebTrust to allow GlobalSign to issue Adobe recognized CDS Certificates, branded as PDF Signing Digital IDs.
Certifying signatures can be added to PDFs to "seal" the document and control permissions to make any further changes. A certified PDF displays the "Certified Document Blue Bar" when the PDF is viewed. Multiple Approval signatures from different people or departments can also be added to the document.
When viewed the recipient is presented with a "Green Checkmark" displayed within the PDF itself, showing which people or departments have consented to, approved, or accepted the contents of the PDF.
