P7M in the browser or with signing software?
To read a .p7m file the browser is all you need: it opens in seconds on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with signer, certificate, preview and PDF. Signing programs such as InfoCert GoSign, ArubaSign and Dike are made for people who sign documents with their own smart card or remote signature.
When the browser is the quickest choice
- You need to read a deed, a certificate or an invoice received by email or PEC.
- You are on Mac, iPhone, Android or a computer where you prefer to install nothing.
- You want to turn many .xml.p7m invoices into readable PDFs and download them in one ZIP.
When signing software is the right tool
- You need to add your own digital signature to a document.
- You need a legally binding verification report from a program on AgID’s list.
