| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Automate document signing Apply digital signatures on documents to preserve their integrity and authenticity. You can use signatures as a means to meet your document retention needs even for those documents that have not been originally designed to capture signatures. |
|
| Automate signature validation for tracking document integrity Confirm the validity of the signature and ensure that the document has not been modified since the application of that signature. |
|
| Publish certified documents Certify documents with predefined authorization to permit or deny changes to the document in the business process downstream. Certified documents validate automatically at the recipient's end (when viewed with Adobe® Reader® software) without any out-of-band exchange of trust chains. Certification signatures can be applied individually or in batches using digital certificates from third-party vendors. |
|
| Use Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS) for document publishing Adobe partners with key Certificate Authorities to provide CDS certificates. The use of CDS certificates for signing by Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES allows the signature to validate in Reader or Adobe Acrobat® software without any out-of-band trust exchanges or security preference changes on the recipient end. |
|
| Leverage PDF neutrality LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES can sign and verify signatures in any well-formed PDF document, regardless of the type of file that was used to generate it or whether it was generated by Adobe server products, by Acrobat, or by a third-party solution. |
|
| Integrate with existing security infrastructure Extend the use of digital certificates issued by your in-house CA or from a CA vendor with LiveCycle Digital Signature ES. Integration with standard Hardware Security Modules that hold the private key Run LiveCycle ES in FIPS operating mode to only use FIPS approved algorithms for document protection. |
