1 - Digitally Signing with PentaPDF-PRO
Digital Signatures are, unfortunately, becoming a necessity in today's business world.
With so many different threats lurking the least we can do is guarantee the authenticity
of letters, documents and so forth that we send to other people.
Now PentaWare has introduced a way for users to not only encrypt their PDF's but also
Digitally Sign them.
So, what exactly are Digital Signatures and why should you use them?
A Digital Signature, much the same as a conventional handwritten signature, identifies
with a high degree of certainty a person or signing a document. Whether the signer is
identified as an individual or as the representative of a Company or other entity is not
relevant. While traditional signatures are on paper, every digital signature stores
information that will identify the person signing.
You can also see information about changes that have been made to a digitally signed
document since the first signature was applied.
Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader both use this symbol  to show that a PDF document has
been altered since it was signed.

2 - Digitally Signing an Existing PDF
Let's say that you are the secretary of a local organization and you need to send out
minutes (created and saved as a PDF) to the organization's membership but you don't want
anyone to be able to alter the document without others knowing that changes have been
made.
In comes PentaPDF-PRO's ability to attach a digital signature to an existing PDF.
The process of adding a Digital Signatures is so simple that both experienced users and
people who are new to digital security will be pleasantly surprised.
