With the exponential growth of digital transactions, the creation and verification of electronic signatures contributes decisively to the creation of a safer environment for business development and innovation, based on security factors such as confidentiality, integrity, authenticity or non-repudiation. Implementing electronic signatures in PDF files can improve the prevention of digital fraud by providing an additional level of security and authenticity. For this reason, in addition to choosing a reliable electronic signature provider, it is necessary to establish clear signing procedures in order to minimize the risk of fraud. For this purpose, a software solution intended mainly for the academic environment is presented, which facilitates the electronic signature with legal value of PDF documents using a digital certificate. This application offers the possibility of simultaneously signing of multiples files in a folder, thus streamlining the process of digital signature and avoiding the use of third-party applications.
