Once you get your certificate, you can digitally sign your PDF file.

Open PDF file you wish to sign.

Look on the right side of the menu bar.

A window will pop open.   Click on the “Drag New Signature Rectangle”

Using the cursor draw a rectangle where you want to put your sig.

A “Sign Document” windows will pop up.

Enter the PIN number for your certifcate that you were not supposed to forget.

Click the “sign” button.

(missing part that I need someone who just got a cert to write in.)

Go to the menubar and pick “edit” and choose “Preferences” then scroll down  and click on “Signatures”.

On the right side there is a “Verification” section.   Click on the “More…” button.

Scroll down to the “Windows Integration” section and checkbox the “Validating Signatures” checkbox.
