PDF/A Compliance and Proofs of Validity: Important message and update regarding the use of ConsignO Desktop

Following a major modernization activity to our public key infrastructure on October 18, limitations with our current versions of ConsignO Desktop have been discovered for some customers with respect to maintaining PDF/A compliance and the addition of proofs of validity for documents signed after that date.

PDF/A compliance

Under certain conditions, applying a digital signature with a version prior to Consigno Desktop 3.8.3 may lead to the loss of PDF/A compliance on a previously converted document. It is therefore recommended to validate the maintenance of PDF/A compliance following the signature.

Updating to the most recent version of ConsignO Desktop 3.8.3 ensures full compatibility with your digital signature.
