Key distinctions
- Visible electronic signature: A signature image or typed name placed on a document (what HaulForm’s signer adds).
- Digital signature (certificate-based): Cryptographically signed with certificates; provides additional verification features.
Practical guidance
- Ask the recipient whether a visible signature is acceptable
- Keep supporting records and follow submission requirements
- Process locally when possible to protect sensitive documents
Use Sign PDF for visible signatures, or Edit PDF Text to add notes/dates.
