displayed on the signature palette in the Foxit eSign tab.
Note: In the Foxit eSign mode, if you set a group of signatures as the default
signature/initials or modify the default signatures’ style through the Manage
Signatures dialog box, the signature/initials saved in your profile in the Foxit eSign
website will automatically be changed to the default signatures you set. However, if
you make changes to the signature/initials in your profile on the Foxit eSign webpage,
the changes will not be synchronized automatically to Foxit eSign in Foxit PDF Editor,
and you can download the modified signature/initials through the Online Signature
dialog box if needed.

Digital Signature
A digital signature acts as a traditional handwritten signature that can be used to
authenticate the identity of a user as well as the document content. It stores
information about the signer along with the date, time, and state of the document
when it was signed.
