Add the possibility to E-sign documents from within a transmission
The condition to E-Sign a document no mark-up or issue should be active to the document
Digital Certification is the act of certifying the accuracy of a document. When a document is digitally certified, its page content is locked to prevent changes. The certifier can opt to allow limited changes that do not affect this content (for example, adding markups, completing form fields or applying digital signatures).
Digital Signatures are independently validated signatures placed on a document by somebody to approve the document in its current state. If changes are made to the document after the digital signature is placed, the status of the signature changes accordingly.
An important distinction between digital signatures and electronic signatures is that the latter are not validated for authenticity. An electronic signature is simply an electronic representation of somebody's autograph; a digital signature contains a unique digital ID to verify its authenticity.
One way to implement e-signature is to have a dedicated transmission purpose to collect signature.
That specific transmission will have the particularity to replace the document inside PW automatically or on demand.
Practical use of functionality?
Allow collecting signature and stamp into a single transmission to keep the workflow as streamline as possible |

What is the impact of not doing this?
We need to do extra operations to get the PDF sign and seal, and we talk about 1000 PDF per week. Those extra steps are outside PW. We use a service name Docusign |
