Digital Signature
Adigitalsignatureidentifiesthepersonsigningadocument,similarlytoaconventionalhandwrittensignature.
Adigitalsignatureismoredifficulttoforgethanahandwrittensignatureasitcontainsencryptedinformationwhichisuniquetothesigner
andwhichcanbepasswordprotectedandverifiable.
Note: PrintShopMailConnectcurrentlysupportsonlyasingleDigitalSignatureperPDFoutputfile.
IfthePDFhasattachments,signingitrequiresachangeintheprintprocessviaWorkflow.TheWorkflowprocessisasfollows:
1. UsethePDFasaninputintheExecuteDataMappingtaskandenableBypass content creation.
2. FeedtheresultoftheExecuteDataMappingtasktotheCreateJobtask.OmittheCreatePrintContenttask.
3. NextupistheCreateOutputtaskwhichwillthensignthePDFwhilepreservinganyattachments.
