PDF Digital Signature Library
Use the Apryse digital signatures SDK to design document signing workflows for rich, real-time interactive experiences.
Cross-Platform Integration
Implement the digital signatures SDK across multiple operating systems and devices to reduce development time and deliver a consistent user experience on all platforms.
Digital Signatures Use Cases
Digital signature technology verifies a signer's time, device, and identity while protecting your document’s contents by removing signatures when changes have been made.
Cross-platform integrations ensure contracts can be securely signed in a user-friendly format from any device or operating system.
Guided field highlighting draws attention to the areas that require a patient’s attention to ensure all critical steps are completed, and consent is properly documented,

Enterprise-Grade Signature Authentication
By leveraging public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, signers can use certificate-based digital IDs to authenticate a signature, prevent document tampering, and support signature validation. This approach guarantees compliance with global standards such as ESIGN, eIDAS, and UETA.
Digital Signature Security
Precisely identify the creator or signer of a document, easily validate signatures with built-in controls that prevent the signer from denying their involvement, and ensure signatures remain unaltered throughout their lifecycle.
Certificate Expiration and Revocation
Advanced encryption and secure digital certificates protect documents, ensuring signatures remain valid until their expiration or unless revoked to prevent misuse of certificates.
DIGITAL SIGNATURES FAQs
A digital signature is a specialized electronic signature that employs a sophisticated mathematical algorithm to ensure the authenticity and integrity of a message, transaction, or digital document (such as emails, online transactions, or digital files).
The three types of signatures are Simple Electronic Signatures (ESE), Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES), and Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES). Knowing which one to choose depends on the type of documents that need to be signed and the use case. Learn about the different types of signatures in our Ultimate Guide to Digital Signatures.
E-signatures, or electronic signatures, are a simple replacement for a hand-written signature, while digital signatures use cryptography to provide document security and authenticity. An e-signature indicates the signer’s intent to sign but doesn’t provide proof of the signer’s identity.
Implementing multiple digital signatures on a single electronic document can pose challenges due to complexities in document structure, signature placement, and format compatibility. With Apryse’sWebViewer SDK—a single component—and a few lines of code, you can enable a simple digital signing workflow for end users and offer enhanced accountability.
