Comece com a restrição de entrega
Do not sign a file that still needs merging, page extraction, or size cleanup unless that is unavoidable.
Every change after signing creates version confusion and can force a second signing pass.

Name the signed output clearly and keep it separate from drafts.
If the recipient is external, use the protected distribution workflow instead of sending loose unsigned and signed variants together.
Perguntas frequentes
Should I sign before or after compression?
Usually after final content changes and before final protected delivery, unless your workflow specifically requires another order.
Do I still need the unsigned original?
Yes. Keep the clean source and the signed distribution copy as separate records.
