Kofax SignDoc Web 2.1.0 - Online Help

SignDoc Web is a strategic enterprise e-signature platform. In general, SignDoc Web is a simple and straight forward to integrate PDF signing solution which can be used to easily replace existing paper based processes. The product SignDoc Web offers web based signing using handwritten signature, Click-to-Sign, or image/photo capture.

A prepared and prefilled PDF document is loaded into the browser and can be enriched with additional data. The handwritten signature which is added to the document will be captured on one of the available signature capture devices (e.g. SignPad, TabletPC, Mobile Device). Signature capture devices can be either connected to the PC directly or in the case of a Smartphone for example accessing SignDoc Web directly. SignDoc Web supports also using the browser build-in HTML5 capture feature.

•During the signing ceremony, the biometric characteristics of the signer's signature are collected. With each captured signature time and date when the signature was captured will be stored together with it.

•As an alternative or in addition to the handwritten signature it is also possible to capture photos through a web or integrated camera and add them to the document.

•A third option is a Click-to-Sign signature which is simply the entering of the signers name in a text field showing a legal consent.

Upon saving or downloading the document the integrity value (hash) of the document will be calculated and stored in the signature field together with the biometric characteristics of the captured signature. The biometric data of the signature (e.g. coordinates, pressure, acceleration) is encrypted via the customer's public key. The biometric signature information can easily be decrypted with the customer's private key and displayed in a user friendly way via SignAlyze. All the changes and operations on a document are captured via an Audit Trail feature which is saved together with the document as metadata.

SignDoc Web also offers additional capabilities such as sending documents to an archive system and the possibility to be extended via a flexible plugin interface. The SignDoc Web application helps to minimize the footprint on the client side, since most of the software components are installed centrally on the server. The clients only need to have the signature capture device attached and the Kofax SignDoc Device Support installed. In addition the clients need a browser extension installed which provides the access to the capture device from SignDoc Web.
