How do I add a digital signature with PDF-XChange Viewer?

How do I  add a digital signature to my PDF document?

Note! This is a Viewer Pro Feature. 

Digital Signatures are available in the registered version of PDF-XChange Viewer.  (Also referred to as the 'Pro' version)   You can create a digital signature using the viewer or you can import an existing certificate if you already have one you would like to use.

To create and add a new digital signature you must have a document open. 

Select: Document > Signing > Sign Document

This will prompt you to place a rectangular box on the page to act a a container to locate the digital signature on the page. Once you have placed this on the page you will see the "Sign Document" dialogue box.  Select the "Create Certificate" button,  Fill in the details and click OK. 

You will be prompted to save the PDF document so as to ensure your digital certificate is stored as part of the document.

You can choose to save this certificate in your Windows certificate store for use later in other documents.

Similarly you can add an already existing digital certificate using the same method but rather than use the "Create Certificate" button you can browse to an existing certificate or select one from the System Store.

See this article if you wish to add a 'Transparent Signature Stamp' - a stamp of your hand written signature - not a digital certificate.
