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 sorry, but pasting a scanned hand signature is a really bad idea. It means nothing, it does not secure the document in any way, nor it proves that it is "signed". Putting your effort to "sign" PDF with png file is really a bad practice and shouldn't be promoted IMHO.
@supermelon Still it’s how most people do it and it’s largely enough for most documents. It’s exactly as easy to imitate a signature in real life. It’s neither better nor worse!
