Setting Up Signing Profiles

What is a Signing Profile?

A signing profile defines how PDFs are automatically signed: which certificate to use, where to place the signature, and the visual appearance.

Creating a Profile

1. Open hAutoSignerConfig.exe → Signing Engine tab
2. Click Add Profile
3. Configure the following:

Basic Settings

• Profile Name: Descriptive name (e.g., "Invoice Signer")
• Profile Type: PDF or Code Signing
• Source Folder: Where to watch for new files
• Destination Folder: Where signed files are saved
• Watch Subfolders: Include subfolders in watch
• Tenant: Which tenant this profile belongs to

Signature Configuration

• Certificate: Select from detected USB token certificates
• Token PIN: PIN for automatic signing (stored encrypted)

Signature Placement

Two methods for placing signatures:

Method 1: Text Pattern (Recommended)

• Text Pattern: Text to search for in PDF (e.g., "Signature Here", "Ký tên")
• Position: Below, Above the found text
• Pattern Match: First, Last, or All occurrences

Method 2: Fixed Position

• Page: Specific page number, or -1 for last page
• X, Y: Coordinates in points (1 point = 1/72 inch)

Signature Box Size

• Width: Signature box width in points (default: 200)
• Height: Signature box height in points (default: 100)

Multiple Signatures

You can add multiple signature configurations to a single profile. Each signature can use a different certificate and placement, enabling multi-signature workflows (e.g., Prepared By + Approved By).
