Understanding the result
A valid result confirms the checked signature or seal and that the document has not changed since signing. An invalid or unverifiable result may indicate modification, a format issue or an unsupported signature.
Printed copies and screenshots
A printout or screenshot does not retain the original PDF’s machine-verifiable signature function. Share the original file when digital verification is required.
