In this tutorial, we will learn how to sign a PDF document with a certificate-based digital signature using docHub. First, download docHub from its official website for free. To sign a document with a certificate-based digital signature, you need to obtain a digital ID containing your name, email, organization, serial number, and expiration date. In docHub, digital IDs are used to sign or add digital signatures to documents. Follow the steps to add or create a digital ID: go to the edit menu, choose preferences, select signatures, click more for identities and trusted certificates, then select digital IDs, and finally click add ID. If you already have a digital ID, you can add the digital ID file. To create a new self-signed digital ID, enter your name, department, organization, and email address.
