Questions

What do I need to sign a PDF with a digital signature?+

CryptoPro CSP and your signature certificate — the GOST signature is created via CryptoPro. Without them, all other features work, including an image signature.

Will the page show that the document is signed?+

Yes, when signing inside the PDF: a stamp with the certificate details is placed on the page. You can customize it — lines, certificate fields, font, colors, logo.

How is a signature inside the PDF different from a .sig file?+

A signature inside the PDF is stored in the file itself and shown as a stamp. A .sig file is a detached signature: the PDF stays unchanged and the signature sits next to it. Many portals ask for .sig. You can create both at once.

Can I sign many files at once?+

Yes — “Sign a batch”: choose the files, certificate, and signature type once, and the program signs them all.

Can I sign by power of attorney (MChD)?+

Yes, the program can sign using a machine-readable power of attorney.

How do I check someone else’s signature in a PDF?+

“Check signatures” shows who signed, when, and whether the document has changed since.

Can I sign with a digital signature online, without the program?+

A GOST signature is created only in the program: the signature key should never leave your computer. Online, right in the browser, you can add an image signature.

Is it free?+

Yes. The program is free: no sign-up, no trial period, no watermarks.

Sign documents for free — no trial period, no watermarks.
