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 A question that hits me on your video was "is it possible on Windows ?". I haven't use windows for a while, but PDF editing was also a mess over there (and on linux, I am sticking to evince for reading, then Xournal++ for the rest)

@vmaurin @thelinuxEXP Windows didn't even ship with a pdf viewer for a long time. The files where just not associated with any app (even though they could at least have done what they do in recent versions).
Now they just open the file in edges pdf viewer.

Thank you ! So it comes down that macOS ships the best default PDF app out of the box

@vmaurin @Vittelius Absolutelt. Preview, as it’s called, is really fantastic
