PDF Sign&Seal allows users to view PDF in tabbed interfaces. The neat user interface is designed like Microsoft Office 2007. This allows users to work with many PDF documents at a single time. It also supports zoom, navigate bookmarks, links and thumbnails. It provides easy access to comments and signature details. User can also set themes from Office 2007 blue, black and silver.

PDF Sign&Seal can sign PDF/A 1a and 1b compliant documents. PDF/A is an archive
format of the PDF standards and now recognised as ISO 19005-1:2005. It was conceived
to ensure that documents can be accurately rendered in years to come. This is the
format of choice when archiving PDFs.

PDF Sign&Seal includes a print driver utility called PDF Sign&Seal Make
that enables users to create PDF files from Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TIF
images, AutoCAD, Visio and many other file types using the File>print command
or via Windows Explorer
right click operations. Multiple files can be selected and
processed automatically so that you don't need to separately open and convert each
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the PDF Sign&Seal right-click functionality (or the PDF Sign&Seal
Make printer driver) you can convert various file types to PDF documents and then
digitally sign the resulting PDFs in a single operation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within PDF Sign&Seal Make you can configure the workflow of what happens after
you create a PDF. You choose to have it signed (including embedding of timestamp),
and/or sealed and attached to email for delivery to your recipients as a single
seamless operation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have complete control over precise signature appearance to be stamped on your
PDFs - an important requirement for tailored signature appearance in many fields.
No other software provides same level of flexibility in defining signature appearance
items, their size, shape and positions, text font, size and colour, whether to include
borders and many more options. The inbuilt design utility makes it easy to drag/drop
and resize signature appearance items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can save one or more signature profiles (called preferred signing locations).
This makes it easy to sign standard business documents that always need to be signed
in the same place and using the same style. The exact location and appearance can
be defined and remembered using names that you defined such as “invoice signature”,
“drawing approval signature”, “Project expense approval”. You can also automatically
create blank signature fields on multiple pages. Certified signatures are fully
supported as are visible and invisible signatures. Special Time Saving Feature:
Administrators can predefine signature locations and appearances and copy these
to all users during installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can either sign the first page, last page, all pages or user selected pages
in one operation in your preferred signing location. You can also change
the page
selection whilst signing. This saves time and effort and creates a much more intuitive
user interface.

|
|
Create long term signatures with embedded cryptographic timestamps (provided by
a RFC3161 Time Stamp Authority) and also embed the signer's certificate status at
the time of signing (provided by a RFC2560 OCSP responder). Such long term signatures
can be verified in the future even after signer's certificate has expired or is
revoked.

PDF encryption enables the author to control who can open the document and define
the access rights of that user, e.g. whether or not printing and cut/paste, etc
is allowed. PDF Sign&Seal supports both password-based encryption as well as
strong certificate based encryption of PDFs. It is easy to define recipient groups
and thus seal PDF documents for entire groups. Each member of the group can have
their individual access rights set.

PDF Sign&Seal supports the filling of form fields and allows these to be saved
locally without reliance on any other software. In comparison other PDF readers/viewers
may not allow you to fill in PDF forms and save them locally. This is a problem
when working off-line or when filling in a form over a period of time or if you
wish to retain a copy of the completed form locally for your own records.
|

|

PDF Sign&Seal maintains an history file which records all signing and sealing
operations performed by the user. It records the date/time of signing (or sealing),
who performed the action, output file location and success/failure of the operation.

PDF Sign&Seal supports advanced verification of digital signatures including
ability to do historical signature verification and checking of signer's certificate
status using CRLs and/or OCSP. For highest levels of security and policy management
PDF Sign&Seal can be used in conjunction with ARP
Enterprise Edition.

PDF Sign&Seal fully supports Tablet PC ink, including the ability to add “wet” ink signatures and notes on to an opened PDF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

PDF Sign&Seal supports sticky note commenting, attachment of files of any type and also ability to add watermarks on selective pages.

PDF Sign&Seal is fully standards based and thus PKI neutral. It can use certificates
from any Certificate Authority, retrieve CRLs and OCSP from any standards compliant
certificate status provider, and work with RFC 3161 Time Stamp Authority. The PDFs
produced by PDF Sign&Seal are compliant with the PDF specifications and can
thus
be opened and verified by other PDF compliant software.

PDF Sign&Seal allows server-side verification (and notarisation) of PDFs so
that there signatures can be centrally checked and archived in the ADSS Server centralised
database (or document management system). Status information on all signatures found
is returned.
Server-side functionality is provided by the Ascertia Advanced Digital
Signature Services (ADSS Server)
product.

PDF Sign&Seal can use either software keys, smart cards and USB tokens for signing
and encryption purposes. PDF Sign&Seal uses the Windows keystore for accessing
keys, so smartcards and USB tokens that work with Windows will work with PDF Sign&Seal.

PDF Sign&Seal has been designed to be compliant with a range of digital signature
legislation and regulatory frameworks, including EU law (EU Directive for Electronic
Signatures), EU Directive for E-Invoicing, IdenTrust, US Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign), The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), 21 CFR Part 11(a regulation governing the use of electronic
signatures within the pharmaceutical industry), Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and others.

PDF Sign&Seal is standalone application and does not require any third party
software (e.g. Adobe® Acrobat® or even Adobe Reader®). The PDF documents do not
need to have any special privileges to enable signing capability. This dramatically
reduces the total cost of ownership of this advanced digital signature solution.
