The webPDF portal lets you digitally sign PDF documents with ease. Its integrated electronic signing features support both German signature law requirements and European directives for digital signatures. A digital signature enables legally relevant electronic document processes and supports long-term archiving requirements.
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. However, with PDF/A, a document specification has been created that makes all this possible. Now contracts and other business transactions executed electronically are not only legally binding but today's reality!
PDF 2.0 makes it possible to digitally sign documents - and more importantly, in a manner by which you can be sure that the signature has in fact originated from the signatory in question.
Recent years have seen the increasing importance of being able to transmit confidential documents using the World Wide Web. One good example of this are invoices, many of which are only sent by email nowadays. Not to mention how we see contracts, notarized, and other official documents and messages being exchanged digitally more and more often.
