Frequently Asked Questions
How do certificate settings differ from signing?
Available certificate settings can record modification preferences in compatible PDF software. Their effect depends on the certificate, viewer, recipient workflow, and applicable requirements.
What allowed-change settings are available?
Available options may include no changes, form filling, signing, or annotations. Confirm the actual options and behavior in the resulting PDF.
Can a PDF with certificate settings be modified?
Compatibility and modification behavior depend on the certificate, PDF viewer, and recipient workflow. Test the result before relying on it.
Does this establish legal validity?
No. Legal effect depends on the signing method, identity evidence, certificate chain, consent, records, and applicable law. Obtain appropriate advice for your use case.
