You can open a document protected by an Electronic Signature only when an Electronic Signature permitted to be opened is in [My Signature] of an Electronic Signature Case and also the Electronic Signature Case is open.
If the document is protected by a Digital Certificate, it opens when the certificate that was used to configure the security is registered with [Personal] in the Windows Certificate Manager.
You can open signed documents. But the mark showing verification status is not displayed. For signed documents you cannot hide annotations.
Note

- You can open a document in Windows Explorer, the desktop, or Desk by dragging-and-dropping it to the Viewer Light window.
- When a document opens, the mouse pointer changes to a hand shape. Dragging the mouse allows you to scroll the displayed page up, down, left or right.
- You can jump from a link annotation pasted on a document, to the link destination. When you place a mouse over the link annotation, the shape of the mouse pointer changes. Left-clicking the mouse button allows you to jump to the linked destination.
- When you view a DocuWorks container in Viewer Light, only the first page is displayed.
