Other formats of electronic signature
With Clicksign Plus and Clicksign Pro you will be able to sign any document kind. When you perform a signature operation over a document that is not a XML or PDF, Clicksign will sign on PKCS#7 format.
Signed document struct
On sign a document as PKCS#7 depending the option selected we will sign as: attached or detached.
- Attached: This makes a document with the signature in one file. The extension is ".p7a"
- Detached: This makes the original document itself and the signature as a other file. The extension is ".p7d"
Advantages and drawbacks of attached and detached formats
| Advantages | Drawbacks | |
| Attached | The file ".P7a" is enough as licit evidence | Is not possible view the document. You have to extract it first |
| Detached | Is not neccessary extract the document to view it | You need the ".p7d" file as evidence and the original document |
Check on configuration section of how to select between the both formats. We recommend that you sign with attached because is enough with one file as licit evidence and you can extract the document to view it.
