ADSS Auto File Processor

Watched Folder Signing

Automated server side signing solution

ADSS Auto File Processor (AFP) is an application for ADSS Signing Server, which provides businesses with a convenient way of processing data files by using a watched folder approach. It provides one of the simplest ways to utilise the power of the ADSS Server and can be easily inserted into a workflow system without any system integration or development expense.

The main use of AFP is for bulk signing of documents, particularly PDF invoices. It has been designed to provide intelligent watched folder monitoring of one or more Windows folders or Unix directories to process batches of documents in an unattended environment.

AFP creates digital signatures by calling the ADSS Server with a specified signing profile. This pre-defined profile determines the type of signature to be produced and the signed documents are delivered back to AFP which writes them to an output folder, or if a problem is detected, an issues folder.
