Step 7: Verify the Digital Signature (Optional).
- To verify the digital signature, right-click on the signature in the PDF document and select "Signature Properties." This will show you information about the signer and whether the signature is valid or not.
Please note that digital signatures are legally binding, so make sure you understand the implications of signing a document with your digital ID.
