How to sign multiple PDF pages or add bulk digital signatures.

Why are digital signatures important in India?

Digital signatures are legally recognised under India’s Information Technology Act, 2000 and they provide:

• Authenticity: verifies that the document was issued by the rightful person.
• Integrity: protects against unauthorised changes after signing.
• Legal Validity: accepted by courts, government portals, and financial institutions.
• Efficiency: cuts down paperwork, courier costs, and manual approvals.

For Indian businesses, digital signatures are essential for GST filings, MCA submissions, and day-to-day corporate approvals.

How to sign all pages in a PDF at once.

Sometimes every page in a PDF needs to carry a signature. For example, multi-page agreements or compliance documents, fortunately Acrobat streamlines this process into four easy steps:

1. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
2. Use the Stamp or Apply Signature to Multiple Pages option.
3. Select all pages where the signature should appear.
4. Save the signed document.

This ensures every page shows proof of authorisation without manually signing each one.

Adding multiple digital signatures in a document.

Some workflows require more than one person to sign a PDF. For example, a vendor contract may need signatures from both the supplier and the buyer, to facilitate this process. Using Adobe Acrobat’s Mega sign, you can:

• Use Prepare Form to add multiple signature fields.
• Assign fields to different people.
• Share the document via Acrobat Sign, where each party adds their digital signature in sequence.

This process maintains order, ensures validity, and provides a complete signing trail.

Bulk digital signature in PDF files.

When handling payroll, invoices, or employee records, adding a bulk digital signature in PDF files saves significant time, Acrobat supports batch signing by:

• Allowing a digital ID or DSC to be applied across multiple files.
• Automating repetitive signing tasks.
• Keeping an audit trail for compliance.

Bulk signing is especially useful for HR departments and finance teams managing large volumes of documents.

How to add a DSC in PDF using Adobe Acrobat.

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is commonly used in India for GST filings, MCA submissions, and other official purposes, adding one to a PDF is easy with Acrobat, here’s how:

1. Connect your DSC token to the system.
2. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
3. Select Certificates > Digitally Sign.
4. Choose your DSC from the token and apply it to the required area.
5. Save the file to lock the signature.

This workflow ensures your signed PDFs are compliant with Indian legal standards.
