Prerequisites and Limitations of Digital Signatures

When you use digital signatures with PDF reports in Publisher, you must be aware of a few limitations.

A digital signature is obtained from a public certificate authority or from a private/internal certificate authority (if for internal use only).

Keep the following limitations in mind:

• Only the reports scheduled in Publisher can include the digital signature.

• You can register multiple digital signatures and enable a digital signature at the instance level. At the report level, you can choose the digital signature you want to apply for the report. Multiple templates assigned to the same report share the digital signature properties.
