How to eSign a document: Modern eSignature Solutions

Revu supports digital certification of PDFs and digitally signing PDFs. These two actions have some similarities and can be done at the same time but they are distinct. While Digital Certification confirms the accuracy of the document and locks it, a Digital Signature is an independently validated signature used to approve the current state of the document. Revu allows you to create a markup version of your written signature but a Digital Signature goes a bit further, providing a unique digital ID to verify it's authenticity. To add a Digital Signature to your document, select Tools, Signature, then Sign Document. You'll then be given a crosshair cursor to create a box for the signature. Before you can sign the document, you'll first need to select your digital ID. If you have, one click Browse. You can also create one using the PKCS #12 format, a format accepted by most security applications and web browsers, or create a digital ID in the Windows Certification Store where is available to Windows applications. Either of these will work. Revu will automatically detect Digital IDs installed in E-Tokens, USB Dongles, or in your Window Certification Store. Regardless of the method you choose, You'll need to enter some identifying information and usage parameters. If you have selected the PKCS #12 option, you will also select the save location and create a password to secure it. With an ID created, click OK to continue. Your new Digital ID is selected. You can add options, like the reason for signing off on the document. Some options are the location and any additional contact information. you could edit the existing appearance settings but in this case, select New. This brings up the Signature Appearance menu. Here you can add a graphic or a name decide what text options will appear, and where on the signature itself. When you've selected the options you want for a signature, you can then click OK to sign the document. You will be prompted to save the document.

Should you need to sign multiple documents, you can use the Batch Sign and Seal option to do so. Go to Batch Sign and Seal.
