About signatures
Digital IDs
A digital ID contains two keys; one is a public key (certificate) that is used to encrypt or lock
data, and the other is a private key that is used to decrypt or unlock data that is encrypted.
You can distribute the certificate that contains the public key and other identifying
information to those people who need to use it to verify your identity or validate your
signature. Only your private key can unlock information that was encrypted using your
certificate, so make sure to store your digital ID in a safe place.
Digital IDs are usually protected by password; you can store it on a computer in PKCS#12
file format, or in the Windows Certificate Store. For company-wide deployment, IT
managers can also use the SignITMgr tool to configure which digital ID file is allowed to
sign PDF files by users across an organization.
Foxit PhantomPDF enables you to create self-signed digital IDs in the following steps:
Click Sign & Certify > Place Signature in the Protect ribbon, click and drag a
signature area. In the Sign Document dialog box, select New ID to create a new one
from the dropdown list from Sign As.
