A digital signature is a security mechanism that ensures the integrity of the document (unchanged by anyone other than the author), its authenticity (only edited by an author known to viewers), and its non-repudiation (the author can’t deny their authorship).
Before you can digitally sign your PDF documents, you must first configure the AssistMyTeam PDF Studio Plug-in settings, by feeding the path to your digital certificate file (PKCS#12 or PFX). You do that from the ‘Digital Signature‘ section of the PDF Output Settings panel.
Note that by default the digital signature added to your PDF document is invisible – there is no visual representation of the signature on any of the pages. If you want to add a visible digital signature to your PDF, you will need to specify your logo (an image file).
Now you are ready to digitally sign your PDF files with the PDF Studio plug-in. Simply right-click the PDF file in your Windows Explorer and click ‘Insert Digital Signature to Pdf‘.
This is just so easy. If you have specified a logo file for a visible digital signature in your PDF document, it will be added at bottom of the last page of your PDF.
