Multiple Signatures Slow Verification Process

Question

I have a document that contains over 25 certificate signatures. The first few signatures behave fine, but the last few take a minute or more for each one since all signatures are verified each time. How can I make it verify only with the final signature or save of the document?

Multiple documents in one pack. One of those documents has six signatures since it touches three areas and has employee/hr signatures. 24 pages total for the complete packet.

Each time you sign a document it creates a full copy of it and embeds it in itself, so it can be verified against the current version.

If you do that 24 times the size of the file will balloon exponentially and verifying it will become longer and longer with each signature.

The solution to this problem is the following:

If you do not want the document to be verified every time it is signed then follow this solution:

* Sign the document wait until the message "Verifying all the signature" appears, then press and hold the escape key until "Verifying all signatures" closes.

* You can do this for all the following signatures. keeping in mind that the last signature must be validated so that all the signatures in the document are valid and verified.

* Once you have finished with all the signatures you can also validate the signature by clicking on Signature Panel and then clicking Validate All.
