Especially in the use case of archiving I see a necessity to sign, time
stamp, or both sign and time stamp documents. And if your processes are
PDF-centric, integrated signatures and time stamps are obvious techniques to
use, independant of the capabilities of viewer programs. Unless, of course,
you first need to archive the unsigned document and your archival policy
doesn't allow updates of these documents.
