Digital Signatures

Digitally Sign a PDF File

Use this endpoint to digitally sign a PDF file.

Signing Service

The actual signing of the file is performed by a signing service callback that needs to be maintained and operated separately. It needs to expose a single HTTP endpoint that receives all callbacks required during the document signing flow differentiated by an action property in the request's JSON.

URL of the signing service needs to be configured via SIGNING_SERVICE_URL environment variable.
