Document Signing Certificates allow individuals / organizations to add a digital signature to a document like Adobe PDF files, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, or Microsoft Office files. It provides trusted assurance of authentication for electronically transmitted documents by validating author and document. The digital signature ensures you that the document has not been altered during electronically transmission, so that you can trust its contents.

When it comes to Document Signing Certificates, DigiCert and GlobalSign are both well-known Certificate Authorities. However, there are some important differences to consider when deciding between these 2 Certificate Authorities.

One key difference is the price. GlobalSign's Document Signing Certificates are generally more competitively priced than those offered by DigiCert, which can be an important consideration for customers who are looking to save money on their certificate purchases.

Another important difference is the document signing limit per year. While GlobalSign Document Signing Certificates allow users to sign an unlimited number of documents, DigiCert sets a limit on the number of documents that can be signed annually. This can be an important factor for customers who have a high volume of documents that need to be signed.

Overall, given the more competitive pricing and the unlimited document signing offered by GlobalSign, it may be a good choice for customers who are looking for a cost-effective and flexible solution for their document signing needs.
