File Signer PI is a desktop product designed to attach digital signatures to PDF documents. The digital signature appears in-line with the PDF document making it possible to verify the signatures without using any third-party verification utility. The Acrobat Reader can be used to verify the signed PDF documents. The recipient of the digitally signed PDF document can easily read the document while checking the Integrity, Authenticity and Non-Repudiation aspects, using just the Acrobat Reader.

The tool supports bulk signing of PDF documents available in a configured input directory and the signed PDF documents are placed in the configured output directory.

Using newly launched File Signer PI Version 2.0, you can even place (display) the Digital Signature on the certain position. (Pre-defined or customized)

This tool works only with special certificates issued by TCS-CA, on Cryptographic Tokens (currently supports Rainbow and Aladdin e-Tokens).

Following are the Key features of the FileSigner PI desktop Product.

• In-Line Signing - The tool can be used to create in-line digital signatures on PDF documents, present in the configured input folder. The signed PDF documents are moved into the output folder of user’s choice. These documents can be viewed and verified, using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Eliminates need for a separate Verification Utility - This tool eliminates the need for a separate digital signature verification utility, as the signature is embedded in the PDF Document and can be easily verified by the Acrobat Reader.
• Bulk Signing of PDF - All PDF files present in the given input directory are selected for Signing in a single shot. The original files that are signed are moved to a “Processed” directory, which is created in the Output Folder. The Signed files are available in the “Signed” Folder of the Output Directory.
