Show your verified organization as signer in Acrobat/Reader with managed AATL or EU Advanced OrgID lifecycle.
Need signer identity visible before rollout?
Publisher Identity adds organization-level signer identity to your existing Publisher sealing workflow. Keep the same API, CLI, Web sealing, Zapier, Cloud Connector, or Power Automate process while we manage validation, certificate issuance, renewals, and revocation coordination.
When to add Identity
Use Identity when counterparties require your legal entity to appear as signer in Acrobat/Reader, or when policy language requires organization-specific certificate governance.

If you already use Publisher, Publisher Identity lets the same Web sealing flow show your organization as the signer in Acrobat instead of Trusted Signatures. The PDF is sealed locally in the browser and is never uploaded to Trusted Signatures servers.
Select AATL or EU Advanced based on customer, regulator, or procurement requirements.
We coordinate CA/RA organization verification and certificate issuance workflow.
Publisher continues to seal as before, now showing your organization as signer in Acrobat.

Identity issues and manages organization-level X.509 certificates that align to AATL or EU Advanced trust-path expectations while preserving the same standards-based sealing behavior (ISO 32000/PAdES profile patterns) in Publisher.
When recipients open sealed PDFs, validation remains reader-native: signer identity, integrity status, and related trust metadata are available in Acrobat/Reader. On-screen trust banners depend on viewer trust-store and local configuration.
For browser-based flows, Identity follows the same local-document model as Web sealing: the PDF stays in the user’s browser, Trusted Signatures never receives the document itself, and the selected organization certificate determines the signer shown in Acrobat.

Open security overviewPublisher Identity is an annual add-on to Publisher sealing. Path selection (AATL or EU Advanced) and organization validation scope determine issuance timelines and planning.
