Digital Signature solutions using PDF forms
can be setup without the need to buy servers. FormRouter and
her partners offer a totally hosted alternative.
Step 1:
Issue Digital Signatures
Through an online GeoTrust portal, any organization
can issue Digital Signatures to a group of form users. Once
trusted user information is entered into the GeoTrust portal,
form users receive an e-mail that directs them to download
their Digital Certificate. Digital certificates are used to
sign PDF documents.
Step 2:
Build a PDF form
Once a document is converted into a PDF,
it then can be edited in Adobe® Acrobat. FormRouter provides
live Internet based instruction and written documentation
with every account to get you up to speed.
Step 3:
Build an e-mail alert (optional)
Included in every FormRouter account is
an alert builder. One of the alerts offered is an E-mail alert.
Step 4:
Extend PDF Forms to Accept Digital Signatures
Reader extensions turn on hidden functionality
in the Free Adobe Reader that allow it to Digitally Sign a
PDF document. Because many form users who need to sign PDF
forms only have the free Adobe Reader, Adobe has licensed
FormRouter to unlock Reader Extensions in PDF documents as
a service.
Step 5:
Link the form to Websites, E-mails
After a form is built in your FormRouter
account a link is automatically generated. Links to forms
can be cut and pasted into E-mails or Websites.
Step 6:
Sign PDF Forms in The Free Adobe Reader
When Reader Extended PDF documents are opened
in the free Adobe Reader, they can be Digitally Signed and
securely submitted to a FormRouter Account. FormRouter Accounts
are like secure inboxes for online forms.
Step 7:
Capture responses to a database automatically
Using FormRouter’s client tool, submitted
PDF forms with Digital Signatures can be securely downloaded
to a database. FormRouter supports all major databases.
The data downloaded includes the form fields and the entire
Signed PDF Document.
