Any document that contains a digital signature, either in its current version or in a previous version, is accompanied by a status indicator in the search results grid in the Digitally Signed column. If your view does not show this column, you can temporarily display it by clicking the Columns button and selecting the Signature Status check box, or you can add the column in a private filter.
Status indicators
Status Indicator | Label | Description |
---|---|---|
[No icon] | none | The document has not been signed. |
Valid | This signature has been validated. | |
Invalid | This signature is no longer valid because the document has been corrupted or compromised by changes made outside of Perceptive Content. To determine whether any signature is invalid, Perceptive Content verifies all signatures on a document when the user opens it or verifies signatures manually or automatically. | |
Voided | This signature has been voided either because the signer has voided the signature or because a user with the Void Signature privilege has voided the signature. | |
Previously Signed | Previous versions of this document are signed. |
Documents with multiple signatures
If a document contains multiple signatures, only one icon appears, according to the following precedence rules:
- If any signature in the list is invalid, the invalid icon is shown.
- If the document contains a at least one valid signature and no invalid signatures, the valid icon is shown.
- If the document contains only voided signatures, the voided icon is shown.
Additional signature locations
The indicators also appear in the following locations:
- At the right end of the Viewer status bar
- In the Properties pane of the Viewer
- In a representation on the document (if the file type of the document permits annotations)
