Digital signature on an already signed document

[zputnoky]

Dear All,

Managed to install the DigitalSigning add-on in the test system and even managed to sign a document. So far so good. However when I checked the documentation, I seen that the 1.2.0 release, which is compatible with 5.2 disabled the possibility to sign a document which is already signed.

For a certain document type, our system demands 3 to 4 signatures before the document (or a set of document) is considered ready for release. The workflow is simple, the document goes from one responsible to the other, in a linear way, each person signes, when the last person signes, the document gets a category - READY. With this flag, the document is sent to the team responsible for the works.

Is there a way to configure the DigitalSigning add-on to allow multiple signatures?

Thanks alot,

Zsolt Putnoky

Yes, you are right, you need to install (or distribute) Sinadura Desktop in the clients that are going to sign documents, it is a java desktop application. It is also attached on the release pages (only version for Windows and Linux).

Release Sinadura for Alfresco 5 · zylklab/alfresco-sinadura · GitHub 

And sinadura sign services in your Tomcat server (sinaduraCloud.war)

alfresco-sinadura/sinadura5-services/binaries at master · zylklab/alfresco-sinadura · GitHub

Hi Zsolt Putnoky,

Will you be able to share some light on how to solve this issue. I am in the same boat as you were i.e., can digitally sign only one time but i need the documents to be signed multiple times.

I suggest you to use https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-esign-cert

This addon will allow you to sign several times a PDF document including configuration for visible signature. Configuration for this feature is described at https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-esign-cert#configuration
