Signing & Verifications

option to sign the document immediately when you place the signature on
the document. By default, this option is checked. When it is unchecked, you
will need to click Sign Document to apply the signature after placing it on the
document. You can still modify the document before applying the signature.
B. Control how and when signatures are verified: click Change Settings to
choose options.
Verify signatures when the document is opened: If this option is checked,
Foxit PDF Editor will verify the signatures when the document is opened,
and will display the signature verification results in the Digital Signatures
panel. By default, the option is checked.
When document has valid but untrusted signatures, prompt to review and
trust signers: With the option selected, if the signature (not including
certified signatures) is verified as valid but is applied by an untrusted
signer with a certificate that doesn’t chain up to a trust anchor, a message
box appears in the top-right corner of the application window to inform
you the document includes signatures from signers that you haven’t
trusted yet. You can click Manage Trust in the message box to trust the
signer. More information, please refer to Trusted Certificates. To make
sure that the notification message is displayed successfully, please check
