changes. If you save the document a second time, your signature must be verified by using the View Signed Version
option in the Signatures panel. (See “View previous versions of a signed document” on page 230.)

Before you certify a PDF
Document authors can improve document integrity and ensure that their documents remain certified by addressing
the following issues before they certify PDFs:
•
Disable or remove content that could modify the document or compromise its integrity, such as JavaScripts,
actions, or embedded media.
•
Certify or sign a PDF only after you make final changes to it. If you make changes or resave the PDF after you sign
it, you may compromise the validity of your signature or the document’s certified status.

Certify a PDF
When you certify a PDF, you indicate that you approve of its contents. You also specify the types of changes that are
permitted for the document to remain certified. For example, suppose that a government agency creates a form with
signature fields. When the form is complete, the agency certifies the document, allowing users to change only form
fields and sign the document. Users can fill in the form and sign the document, but if they remove pages or add
comments, the document doesn’t retain its certified status.
You can apply a certifying signature only if the PDF doesn’t contain any other signatures. Certifying signatures can
be visible or invisible, and are indicated by the blue ribbon icon
in the Signatures panel (and if visibly signed, in
the signature field). A digital ID is required to add digital signatures (see “About digital signatures” on page 220.)
