PDF Security and Signature

With the advent of paperless business, it does not come as a surprise that the demands for digital signatures on documents is slowly becoming a legal requirement. PDF Security and Signature is an application that enables you to digitally sign batches of PDF documents and hence, provide them legal values.

While the application does not require any setup, you should know that it comes with a command line interface and you can operate it from the Windows' console. The lack of a user interface can intimidate users with less technical skills and it would have been useful if it included a GUI.

Despite the CLI interface, the application packs several powerful tools that allow you to create a custom digital signature that is representative of your line of work and company. To put it simply, the utility supports an extensive list of fonts, borders, background colors and works equally well with both visible and invisible PDF signatures.

You should know that the program allows you to encrypt documents via the AES-128, AES-256 or RC$ algorithms. It lets you set permissions that determine how the materials can be used. Consequentially, you can allow printing, content copying, extraction, commenting, filling in, document assembly or editing, just to name a few of the available options.

Last, but not least important, the application allows you to apply digital signatures to a batch of documents, an option that could save you a lot of time and effort. The feature can also be helpful for companies that need to make the switch to paperless business in a relatively short period.

In the eventuality that your company decided to make the switch to paperless and you want to ensure all issued papers have authorization and hence, legal value, then PDF Security and Signature could come in handy.
