--- Comment #7 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <[email protected]> ---
The following document is also rather informative:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/DigSig/Acrobat_DigitalSignatures_in_PDF.pdf

See 6.3.13 Enabling features via document-based permissions

"PDF enables a fully featured client with rich PDF interaction to grant
document-specific permissions to less capable clients so that they can also use
some of those features. Using this mechanism, a client that does not have
digital signature capability may be granted that ability. When the permission
is granted at the language level for a particular document, any associated
signature related user interface elements would become enabled."

"For example, an author using Acrobat can grant permissions to enable
additional features in Adobe Reader, using public-key cryptography. It uses
certificate authorities to issue public key certificates to document creators
with which it has entered into a business relationship. Adobe Reader verifies
that the rights-enabling signature uses a certificate from an Adobe-authorized
certificate authority. Thus, an Adobe Reader user that opens a reader enabled
document can sign, fill in form fields, and otherwise perform actions that
would otherwise be prohibited."
