Use it well Examples, checks, limits, and recovery paths
Bad inputs
- Contracts requiring identity verification, audit trails, or certificate-based digital signatures.
- Assuming a visible mark proves who signed or whether the file changed later.
Output checklist
- Confirm the signature appears on the intended page and does not cover content.
- Use a dedicated e-signature platform when identity, consent, or audit evidence matters.

Runtime limits
- Runs locally in the browser without uploading the PDF.
- Password-protected and malformed PDFs are rejected.
