How To Enable PDF Certification

Documents completed with Legalesign are always produced in PDF format and have a Long-Term Validation Certification applied by default. The PDF certification is proof that the document has not been amended or interfered with since it was signed.

You can check if a PDF has been certified by examining its file properties using any PDF reader software. It typically appears as a highlighted bar on the top of the screen.

PDF certification can be turned off if you believe it isn’t required for your documents. To do this:

1.        Click your Team name on the top left of the screen,

2.        Click on the ⚙ cogwheel icon on the right of the dropdown menu to visit the Team Settings page,

3.        Click PDF Security,

4.        Click the Certify PDF checkbox to clear it,

5.        Click ‘Save Changes’ to confirm.
