Regarding my last video: yes, digitally signing a PDF with a certificate is more secure. Yes, it’s used by companies, but:
- they generally use third party tools
- At the 4 companies I worked at, we NEVER used such a system to sign a contract
- Most normal users just need to stamp their hand drawn signature and send the PDF back to avoid having to print it, sign it, scan it, and send it back
It’s definitely something all PDF tools should have by default, even if it’s not “secure”

@thelinuxEXP I believe there are three ways to digitally sign a document in my country. One is just painting letters like you mention, 2nd is a digital certificate from a private company, and 3rd is a government digital certificate with your identity approved by your bank. The last one is really only used for doing government stuff online like taxes or changing your doctor etc.

@thelinuxEXP and each is more secure than the last one and each has its uses. No point in going through all the hassle to get a certificate for dumb day-to-day documents.
