Adding A Device Signature - Canon CLC5151 Sending And Facsimile Manual

NOTE
• If you select to add both a device signature and user signature, the device signature is added before the
user signature.
• If the recipient verifies a PDF that has had both a device signature and user signature added to it using
Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat, only the user signature can be verified. The device signature causes the
document to be handled as if it has been altered.
• If you change the file format to a format other than 'PDF' after setting to add a digital signature, a
message confirming whether you want to change the file format is displayed. If you change the file
format, the digital signatures you have set to add are cancelled.
• For information on validating certificates, registering certificates in the trusted certificates list, and
verifying signatures on the recipient side, see the documentation for Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat.

Adding a Device Signature

NOTE
• This mode is available only if the optional Universal Send PDF Security Feature Set is activated.
• You can only add device signatures to PDF documents if the optional Universal Send PDF Security
Feature Set is activated and you have generated a device signature certificate and key pair in Network
Settings in System Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). For more information, see Chapter
3, "Using a TCP/IP Network," in the Network Guide.
• <Certificate Thumbprint> contains sender information used to validate the reliability of a PDF with a
device signature, by matching it with the MD5 or SHA-1 message digest number. For more information
on confirming <Certificate Thumbprint> and other device signature information, see "Confirming the
Device Signature Certificate," on p. 9-23, or Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network," in the Network
Guide.
• If the SDL or SSO login service is set and an e-mail address is registered for the user, in addition to
adding the device signature, the [Author] property of the PDF is set to the e-mail address of the user.
