Digital Signatures vs. Electronic Stamps

While often used interchangeably, there are technical nuances in how we handle signs: 1. Appearance Streams: When you place a signature, we create a new XObject stream that represents the visual mark, ensuring it remains sharp at any zoom level. 2. Integrity Preservation: Our signing process is designed to be non-destructive, meaning the underlying text of the contract remains searchable and unaltered. 3. ISO Compliance: We follow the PDF/A and standard PDF specs for annotations, ensuring your signed document is readable by any legal or government entity.
