Printing digitally signed document

Hello,

We are looking to implement a solution for signing PDF documents using Adobe Standard or Professional. The purpose of the project is to reduce the paper usage but we still need to print some documents.

Is there any way to print the document status alongside the signature? I mean to print information if the document is unmodified and the signature is verified, if the signature is OK but the document is modified, etc. (those green, yellow and red signs).

Thanks

Hi,

The short answer is no.

The signature status only applies to the electronic version of the file. Once the file is printed we have no way to test if the contents on the printed page are the same contents that were signed, thus we suppress adding the signature status to the printed output.
