To optimize Adobe Acrobat Sign for use with Cloud Signatures, apply the following setting by account or group administrators:

1. Go to Account > Account Settings > Global Settings > Self Signing Workflows

What will happen to my documents when I sign them in Adobe Acrobat Sign?

+ From a data protection point of view, we can reassure you: The documents to be signed are not transmitted to primesign.

+ primesign only receives the so-called hash value (fingerprint) of the documents to be signed. The document content cannot be derived from this. The documents therefore remain exclusively with Adobe Acrobat Sign.

How do I enable "Sign with eID" with Adobe Acrobat Sign?

+ To enable „Sign with eID“ in Adobe Acrobat Sign, you need a primesign ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT and then you must submit the Adobe-Account-ID to primesign once. To do this, contact basicsupport@prime-sign.com.

+ You can find the Adobe Account-ID in Adobe Acrobat Sign under Account -> Account Settings -> Global Settings -> Account ID.

Sign with Adobe Acrobat Sign - accountId

+ If the setting is not displayed, contact your account or group administrator to receive the Account-ID

What is "Sign with eID"?

+ An existing eID (e.g. German Identity Card or ID Austria/Austrian mobile phone signature) can be used to sign with a primesign certificate.

+ Users only need to authorize the signature by entering their eID credentials. In the background, primesign issues a qualified primesign signing certificate based on the eID.

+ The issued certificate can only be used once for signing.

Which eIDs are supported?

Currently, the following eIDs are available for the signature:

+ German Identity Card

+ ID Austria/mobile phone signature

What are the advantages of "Sign with eID"?

+ SIGN INSTANTLY: Sign instantly with your existing eID. No registration or further authentication with primesign is required.

+ UNIFIED TRUST: Users always sign with primesign certificates, regardless of which eID is used. This results in the following advantages:

Uniform liability: One legal framework, one responsible trust partner - primesign TRUST CENTER.

Long-term verifiability: Creation of long-term verifiable (30+ years) and legally binding qualified signatures (if supported by the respective signature system).

Confidentiality: Documents completely remain on the signature system and are not sent to external trust centers.

+ UP-TO-DATE: Users sign with certificates issued immediately and „on-the-fly“ based on current data from a valid eID.

+ BATCH SIGNATURE CAPABILITY: „Sign with eID“ allows for the use of eIDs for batch signing to sign multiple documents in one step.

What do I need to sign with the German ID card?

To use the German Identity Card, the following requirements must be met:

+ AusweisApp2 (or comparable applications).

+ Card reader or smartphone (with NFC) for reading the ID card.

+ Set PIN. You have set a self-chosen, six-digit PIN.

+ ID card with activated eID function. The following ID cards can be used:

ID card

eID card for EU/EEA citizens

Electronic residence permit

+ The eID function is active on your ID card if the following logo is visible on the back of the card:

ID_GERMANY

 

How long can I verify a primesign signature?

primesign signatures are usually LTV-compliant, thus enabling a complete verification of the signatures even after years (30+ years) and without external dependencies (the signature system used, Adobe Acrobat Sign, must also support long-term verifiability; also applies to primesign signatures with eIDs).

How long is my primesign signing certificate valid for?

+ Your personal primesign certificate is usually valid for five years. Your primesign certificate can be easily renewed online at any time.

+ primesign certificates created with „Sign with eID“ can only be used once for signing and are therefore valid only for a few minutes.

What data is stored by primesign?

For the issuance of a primesign certificate, we request and store the following personal data (also applies to the issuance of primesign certificates created with „Sign with eID“):

+ Identity data 

+ Identity verification data (e.g., ID scan for video identification)

+ Certificate data

As a trust service provider, primesign is legally obligated to store this data for 30 years. The stored data is used exclusively for identity verification.

 

How secure is my data?

+ We operate our infrastructure in certified bank data processing centers in Austria. We are a 100% GDPR compliant, keep your data secure and use it only within the scope of our legal obligation as a trust service provider. Under no circumstances will data be passed on to third parties.

+ A cloud service is used for the longterm archiving of identification data. Before the data enters the cloud, it is encrypted securely and with hardware support by primesign. This ensures that this data can only be used by primesign.
