Configure Signature Pages
You will typically need to create multiple signature page definitions, if not for separate purposes (document types), then for each watermark profile page size.
The vault must first be configured with at least one publishing job in which renditions are generated as described in Create And Edit a Rendering Profile. Microsoft Office must be installed on the rendering computer as described in Publisher Requirements.
