Specifying Digital Signature for PDF Files

Applying a digital signature to PDF files created from scanned documents helps to detect improper alteration of important documents such as contract documents.

Important

  • It can be specified for files set to be stored on external storage devices under E-mail, Folder Sending, and Store File settings using the Store to Memory Device function.

  • To send PDF files with a Digital Signature, a Device Certificate (PDF Digital Signature) must be registered on the machine beforehand. For details, see "Configuring PDFs with Electronic Signatures", Security Guide.
