In this article, we will talk about a PDF signing solution that can replace paper-based workflows with document signing certificates for Adobe AATL.
As a member of Adobe’s Approved Trust List, signatures applied with our certificates are automatically trusted in Adobe products.
Our AATL certificates allow authors to create PDF and Office files, which automatically certifies to the recipient that a trusted organization has verified the author’s identity.
AATL has three deployment options, namely: token-based, on-premise HSM, and Cloud-based.
Token-based deployment is ideal for individuals and organizations who need to digitally sign a moderate amount of PDF documents (<5,000/year) or do not use an automated PDF generation solution.
On-premise HSM is ideal for organizations using automated PDF generation software, such as Adobe LiveCycle, Ascertia DSS, Eldos Secure Black Box, or iText Java/CSharp to generate and manage large volumes of documents should they have the desire and internal resources and support to operate and manage an HSM.
Lastly, the Cloud-based Digital Signing Service is ideal for higher volume signature needs. Without the limitation of having to keep your token with you, or staying connected to your office network, with cloud-based Digital Signing Service, you can digitally sign documents wherever you are, and whenever you need to.
GlobalSign’s AATL certificates also allow you to add certifying signatures to PDFs. This ensures that you are the author of the document, have finalized its contents, and have secured it against tampering after it has been distributed. Certified documents display a blue ribbon across the top of the document containing the signer’s name and the certificate issuer that gives a clear visual indication that the document is authentic and has not been modified by anyone else than the original signer.
Signatures can be customized to include an image and various signature details to provide an extra layer of authenticity such as signing location, date, and reason for signing.
