PDF-Over is a Windows-based security utility developed by the A-SIT Secure Information Technology Center – Austria that lets citizens place legally binding qualified electronic signatures directly on PDF files without the cycle of printing, handwriting, and re-scanning. Designed for public-sector, legal, and business environments, the program pairs with the national ID Austria identity system to embed a QES that is automatically recognized across the EU as the digital equivalent of an ink signature. Typical use cases include signing employment contracts, tax submissions, court filings, insurance paperwork, procurement documents, and any other formal record that must meet eIDAS compliance standards. The application verifies certificate validity, shows a real-time preview of the visible signature block, timestamps the document, and locks the PDF against subsequent changes, giving signers and recipients full integrity assurance. Version 4.4.6.1 refines the signature placement wizard, strengthens OCSP revocation checking, and streamlines the HSM integration for corporate card readers, while the earlier 2.x branch remains available for legacy environments that rely on the discontinued buergerkarte.pkcs#11 module. Both editions are maintained in parallel so enterprises can migrate gradually without breaking existing workflows. PDF-Over operates silently from the Explorer context menu or can be invoked in batch mode through command-line switches, enabling accountants, solicitors, and clerks to sign hundreds of invoices or case files in one pass. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
