I've gotten the signature workflow to work but found that there is an issue with the certificate - basically, if we create the certificate in-house, we have to get all the users add that certificate. I'm looking at either getting desktop services to push the change to all desktops or to get a digital certificate from someone that is already a default within Microsoft and other browsers. Anyone done this? Any advice?

Hi, The steps for digital signature are mentioned below To use a Collect Signatures workflow, you must first save your document or workbook to a SharePoint library where the specific Collect Signatures workflow that you want to use is available. To start a Collect Signatures workflow, open the Office Word 2007 document or Office Excel 2007 workbook in which you want to collect one or more signatures. If the document or workbook does not already contain the Microsoft Office Signatures Lines that you need, you must insert them or the Collect Signatures workflow will not be available for use. To start the workflow from within the client program, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Workflows, and then select the Collect Signatures workflow that you want to use. Fill out a workflow initiation form in which you specify the names of the people who need to sign the document. The form automatically displays the names of the suggested signers who are specified within the document or workbook. You can choose to assign the signature tasks in the order in which the signatures appear or to all signers at once. After the workflow starts, the server assigns signature tasks to all participants. If e-mail alerts are enabled for the server, the server also sends all participants e-mail alerts about their signature tasks. Participants can click the Edit this Task button in the e-mail task alert to open the document or workbook to be signed and complete their signature tasks. While the Collect Signatures workflow is in progress, the workflow owner or the workflow participants can view the Workflow Status page to see which participants have completed their workflow tasks. When the workflow participants complete their workflow tasks, the workflow ends, and the workflow owner receives an e-mail message that the Collect Signatures workflow is complete. This e-mail message specifies the names of all of the people who have signed the document, along with the names of the people who were originally indicated as suggested signers.

Hi matthewboh, You can deploy your certificate authority for all users using Group Policy from Windows Server AD, then update the group policy, for more information you can refer to the following articles, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131(WS.10).aspx http://blog.integrii.net/?p=100 ThanksDaniel Yang TechNet Community Support

Thanks Vinit, but I already know how to do sign a document. My question is about the digital signature itself - you need to have the certificate authority set in your browser / desktop for it to understand and trust it. I've had problems finding instructions on how to implement, not use. Thanks,
