How to Create an E-Signature
These days, your organization needs the perfect blend of speed and security. But very often, hand-signed documents down-shift business transactions into slow motion. The good news is, in most cases you can use digital versions of these documents instead. With a PDF editor that lets you produce handwritten signatures backed by a certified digital identity, faster signing is easily within reach.
With the extended integration of Tungsten SignDoc* into Power PDF, the entire e-signature workflow is centralized in one place, simplifying how to securely sign documents. Using a mouse or other input device, your customers can easily create legally binding signatures with security features like trusted certificates.
