Adding Digital Signature to PDF documents enable companies or parties to exchange confidential documents electronically with an assurance that the information has not been altered since it was sent. It also provides verification against the signer’s digital identity.

Version 0.9.0 adds embedded Unicode font to visible signatures and allows setting font size there. The tool can be freely used for both private and commercial use and supports Windows OS and Linux.
