Rainbow PDF Digital Signature is a high speed server-based digital signing module. Digital Signature applies digital signatures or timestamps to existing PDF with on demand or batch processing. In addition it can be used to verify digital signatures & timestamps on existing PDF documents.
New: Generate a signed PDF on the server side by using the signature plug-in and certificate on the client side. Now supports RSA-SHA2 algorithm.
Secures and Controls PDF’s with Digital Signatures that comply to ISO 32000-1 Standards
Adds both self signed signatures and Certificate Authority Signatures
Different applications require different levels of signature security. Our software lets the user to decide which level of security is necessary for each task. This makes adoption of comprehensive digital signature program affordable.
Applies Digital signatures timestamps and signature fields without the need for Adobe Acrobat
Even in environments where Adobe Acrobat is not installed or running, a digital signature with time stamp can be verified and applied, significantly reducing software licensing fees.
Signatures are interoperable with Adobe products
When documents are sent outside the network, recipients can open documents and validate signatures using Adobe Acrobat 7/8/9 and Adobe Readers 7/8/9.
A visible signature can be added to a PDF
In addition to the underlying digital signature, an (bmp, gif, jpg, or PDF) image of a handwritten signature, company logo, or certified seal can be applied to a PDF for easy identification
A GUI for creating and changing signatures settings makes creating signatures easy
Signature attributes, appearance details, and security permissions can be selected and saved with an intuitive graphics interface or can be accessed directly by an API.
Permissions for changes to the document can be set and saved in the signature file
Printing restrictions and limits to document changes (such as only signing in signature fields) can be saved with an associated MDP signature in the signature file.
Signatures may be stored in the Windows Certificate Store
The convenience of accessing signatures from the Windows Store simplifies high volume, batch signing applications.
Signatures files may be accessed through a web server application
Private keys may be stored in a PFX/PKCS#12 file. With this method users must input the private key password via the API for signing. (In addition to security, this establishes a user’s knowledge of signing).
Adapts to Smart cards and Aladdin tokens systems
Rainbow PDF Digital Signature Module can sign documents using a certificate stored on a smart card or eToken that is accessible to the server.
Signatures can be checked for revocation in two ways
Users may choose to verify signatures using either the certificate revocation list (CRL) or the online Certificate State Protocol responder (OCSP).
Interfaces with XSL Formatter
When used in conjunction with Antenna House XSL Formatter, the signature field will be specified within XSL-FO and the digital signature module will sign the PDF outputted by Formatter.
Compatibility
Supports PDF 1.3 – 1.7
It’s recommended to create PDF V1.6 version or later before applying a signature. The PDF signature dictionary conforms to ISO 32000 if PDF version is 1.5 or later is used with this product. The time stamp conforms to ISO 32000 with PDF version 1.6 or later.
Please note that although a PDF digital signature and a time stamp can also be applied to older versions of PDF, it will not conform to ISO 32000.
Note: PDF package form in Acrobat is not supported with this product.
Interoperability
Rainbow PDF Digital Signature applies a PDF digital signature and PDF security and does not depend on Adobe Acrobat. It guarantees the interoperability with Adobe Reader 7, 8 or 9, and Adobe Acrobat 7, 8 or 9 across PDF digital signature functions and the security functions.
For example, Rainbow PDF Digital Signature can sign signature fields created by Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat can sign the signature fields created by Rainbow. Also, PDF digital signatures created by this product can be verified using the signature verification function of Adobe Reader 7, 8 or 9 and Adobe Acrobat 7, 8 or 9.
RFC3161-SHA1 time stamp is interoperable with Acrobat 7, 8 or 9. RFC3161-SHA2 time stamp may only be interoperable with Acrobat 8 or 9.
Security settings by using password or public key certificate are interoperable with Acrobat 7, 8 or 9.
Program Structure
This product consists of the following two programs
1. Antenna House PDF Digital Signature Setting– a Windows GUI program which creates the configuration file for the digital signature module. Hereinafter called “GUI setting program”.
2. Antenna House PDF Digital Signature Module– a library which performs the addition and the verification of digital signatures and time stamps. Hereinafter called “Digital Signature Module”.
These two programs operate independently and can be installed on separate computers.
This product operates in the following environment.
* Microsoft Windows 2000
* Microsoft Windows XP
* Microsoft Windows Vista
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003
* Microsoft Windows Server 2008
This program is only available as a 32 bit version.
