PDF Extra: the PDF protection tools

Let’s review each one more closely.

PDF Extra: digitally sign icon Digitally Sign: Add a digital signature to guarantee that the contents of your PDF file have not been altered since it was signed.

PDF Extra: validate icon Validate: Part of “Digitally Sign”, this tool helps you quickly validate all digital signatures in your document. If no digital signature is present in the document, this option will be grayed out.

PDF Extra: timetamp icon Time Stamp: Quickly add a timestamp to your file, which is a type of digital signature whose validity is confirmed through a server. If no timestamp is present in the document, clicking on “Time Stamp” will open up the “Server Settings” panel instead.

PDF Extra: server settings icon Server Settings: Quickly add, edit, or remove timestamp servers.

PDF Extra: protect document icon Protect Document: Set strong read-only and permissions passwords for your PDF document.
