Digital signatures are a form of electronic signatures that use cryptographic methods to provide a higher level of security and authentication. They are often used for signing government contracts or financial agreements because they ensure the integrity and authenticity of the document.

Electronic signatures, on the other hand, include a wide range of methods for signing documents electronically. Electronic signatures are commonly used for less critical documents, such as letters, consent forms, and other agreements where maximum security is not a primary concern. PDF Expert offers electronic signatures, allowing you to easily create and add your signatures to any PDF in just a couple of clicks.
