Signority gives you the option to secure the PDFs that you send out for signing. This option locks the PDFs in signed packages so that once downloaded, the PDF cannot be edited through a PDF editor. This helps ensure that your document remains secure even after signing and archiving.
Note: Encryption is only applied to e-signature documents and not digital signature. For more details, refer to our esignature vs digital signature article which explains the difference between these two.
