Add a time stamp to digital signatures and documents
Time stamps are used to specify the date and time you signed a document. A trusted
time stamp proves that the contents of your PDFs existed at a point-in-time and have
not changed since then. Foxit PDF Editor allows you to add a trusted time stamp to
digital signatures or documents.
To add a time stamp to digital signatures
To add a time stamp to digital signatures, a default time stamp server is required
before you make the digital signature. If you have configured a default time stamp
server and added it to your trusted certificate list, the time stamp will be embedded
with the signature, and the signature properties will show the date/time in the time
stamp server when you signed the document; otherwise, the signature properties will
display the local date/time of the computer.
1. Go to File > Preferences > Time Stamp Servers, and set a default time stamp
server.
2. Sign the document. See also Sign a PDF.
3. You will be prompted with a pop-up Security Warning to ask you to allow
connecting to your time stamp server. Click Allow.
4. Then the signature you made has been successfully embedded with a timestamp.
When validating the signature, users need to add the time stamp server into the
trusted certificate list so that the signature properties will display the date/time in
the time stamp server when the document was signed. See also Trusted
Certificates.
Note: By default, if only one time stamp server is available in the system, it will be set as
default automatically.
