FAQ

Does a signed field prove the document is authentic?

Not by itself. The signature must be verified against the signer certificate by a trusted application.

What does the coverage percentage mean?

It is the share of the file inside the /ByteRange the signature protects. Anything outside that range is not covered by the signature.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No.
