The PDF/XPS file contains sender information that the reader of the file can use to validate the reliability of the device signature by matching it with the SHA-1 message digest number. You can verify this information in <Certificate Thumbprint> on this machine.
Ensuring that a device signature is always added when sending
You can configure the machine so that a device signature is always added to scanned documents that are sent in a particular file format, regardless of the user settings. You can also restrict the file formats used when sending documents, which ensures that no documents can be sent without a device signature. Administrator or DeviceAdmin privileges are required in order to configure these settings. <Always Add Device Signature to Send>
