This scenario shows how we worked with a customer to create a digital approval process. It is a custom, customer-specific application. The case demonstrates how different webPDF web services were combined to implement the solution.
It wasn't that long ago that the idea of being able to digitally sign a document and have evidence of its origin and authorship was nothing but wishful thinking.
