Digital Signer

While some may argue that businesses have been forced to switch to a digital signature due to COVID-19 outbreak, the truth is that the practice has been in place for quite some time. Having a digital signature does not only save you a lot of time with making various trips to numerous fiscal, insurance or other institutions, but they also help prevent forgery and changes to the document following the signing.

As the name suggests, Digital Signer is a tool that provides a convenient and fast way to sign PDF documents using the X.509 digital certificates.

The interface is quite crowded and may seem overwhelming at first, especially since it seems to squeeze all details into a single window. However, everything that you will ever need to sign and validate a signature is there, so it is worth taking the time and customizing it.

First off, you can choose to sign with a digital file, which is ideal if you have one already, or you can use a USB token, dongle, certificate store or a smart card. The signature can be colorful or simple and you decide upon its size and positioning in the document. After you configure the permissions and, optionally, timestamping, you can simply hit the Start Signing button to get your documents signed.

According to the developer, the program comes with numerous features that can come in handy when it comes to ensuring privacy with documents. You can benefit from invisible signatures, sign via USB or PFX files, decrypt documents, validating the signature, support for multiple signatures or PKI neutrality which ensures it works with PKI components from any vendor, just to name a few.

Thanks to Digital Signer, you can easily sign all documents coming from inside your organization, governmental institutions or your business partners in batches. In fact, by selecting the folder where you keep this type of papers as input and output, you can finish approving and validating documents in less than 1 minute.
