various ways you can electronically sign a document in Acrobat 10 and what is changed from acrobat nine if you have used previous versions of Acrobat the first thing you'll notice in Acrobat 10 is that the user interface has been completely reorganized to help with efficiency in your daily tasks access to the digital signature tool can be found underneath of tools sign and certify panel you can also customize your toolbar to easily add commonly used functions like the signed document command vout having to use a sidebar panel simply select the customized quick tools icon in the top menu select sign and certify and select the signed document icon this command will now be placed in the top menu and will appear every time you launch Acrobat let's start by discussing the most basic method for electronically signing a document that was introduced in acrobat 9 the apply ink signature tool this is a very simple tool that allows you to quickly add a signature to the document much like a fax signature however this type of signature will not like out changes or provide notification if something has been changed in the document so it is not suitable for many applications to apply an egg signature simply click apply and signature tool and use your mouse to add a freehand signature anywhere within the document I'm going to go ahead and delete this ink signature and briefly touch on a new feature in Acrobat 10 the time stamp document tool in previous versions of Acrobat a user could apply a digital signature and then apply a time stamp to that identity based signature in Acrobat 10 however a user can apply just a time stamp to a document allowing one to assert the existence and nature of a document at any given time you'll need a time stamp server configured and it will not be visible in document self but only in the side panel this time stamping feature is the first of many changes that have been made to make acrobat and reader 10 compatible with the PDF advanced electronic signature standard or paidhi's the next tool will discuss in the sign and certify panel is a signed document tool which allows you to digitally sign your PDF file this can lock down the document and notify recipients that changes have been made after the signature is applied resulting in higher trust in the document the place signature tool located below is similar to the signed document tool and it's useful if you would like to create a pre-existing location for all document signers to use I'll go ahead and use the signed document tool to sign this particular document acrobat prompts me to click and drag to draw the area for the signature next I'm prompted to add my digital ID to the signature area within Acrobat you can create a self-signed digital ID or use digital IDs that are purchased from third party certificate authorities I'll add a self-signed digital ID to this document for demonstration purposes self-signed digital IDs are convenient but they do not offer the recipient of your document any proof of the signers identity the signers vouching for his or herself however this may be sufficient for personal use or small to medium sized businesses exchanging documents and trusted relationships on the other hand digital IDs from third-party certificate authorities can validate your identity and provide better assurance as to your digital signature which is necessary in many applications next I'm prompted where to store the self signed digital ID in the new peak ACS file or the windows certificate store then I prompted to enter my identity information the next screen designates where the digital ID file will be stored which you want to note for backup purposes and to create a password for every time you sign with your digital ID once I've completed the process for creating a self-signed digital ID the new ID will appear automatically and the sign as pull down now that I've created my new digital ID I can now sign this document I simply add my previously created password I can also change the appearance of my digital signature for example I can add a graphic that resembles the actual appearance of my signature you can also choose to select the lock document after signing checkbox which disallows future changes to the document when I click the sign button I will be prompted to save the document with a new digital signature there is also another set of nested items under the sign and certify panel when you click the more sign and certify tool here's where you'll find the security settings entry the trusted identity settings as well as tools to import and export security settings the bottom tools in the sign and certify panel which are grayed out because this file has already been signed focused on certifying a PDF file the intention of certifying a document means to prove the identity of where it came from and then restricting what others can subsequently due to the document for example changing the content signing on the other hand means you agree to the content we've taken a look at how to create a digital signature nacrobat 10 now let's take a look at what a recipient will see when opening a PDF with a digital signature the first thing you'll notice the first time you launch acrobat or reader 10 in this case and open a digitally signed document is the following dialogue
