                           For
best results, use the Preview Document feature when you sign documents. This
feature analyzes the document for content that may alter the document’s appearance,
and then suppresses that content, allowing you to view and sign
the document in a static and secure state. </p>

                        <p>When you view
a PDF in Preview Document mode, a document message bar lets you
know if the PDF complies with the PDF/SigQ Level A and Level B specification.
Level A indicates that the document contains no dynamic content
that can alter its appearance. Level B indicates that the document
contains dynamic content that can be suppressed during signing.
If the document doesn’t comply with Level A or B, you may want to
refrain from signing the document and contact the document author
about the problem. </p>

                        <p>You can also use Preview Document mode
outside of a signing workflow to check the integrity of a document. </p>
