Does PDF/A support digital signatures?
Yes. PDF/A allows the use of digital signatures embedded in PDF as defined in the PDF Reference Manual. Because PDF digital signatures include a visual appearance, the appearance must conform to all the requirements of PDF/A including font embedding and use of device independent color. Not all commercial digital signatures tools follow these requirements. The Adobe Professional application can be used to digitally sign a PDF/A file.
